    True. No one is waiting with baited breath to find out if the Democrat-run House can get a 50% vote to impeach. We don't even have to watch live, or the replay, to know the answer.

    Schiff and Nadler are both inept clowns that have no idea how to run their committees except from their Stalinist teachings. Time is up for debate so they will have to shut up and vote this morning. 1-2 hours tops today or they are playing with themselves in the bathroom instead of working at destroying the country with their bogus impeachment scheme.

    Nancy Pelosi is giving everyone the blueprint for impeaching any democrat President like Harry Reid created the blueprint for passing judges in the Senate. Beautiful stuff.

    Because there is no credible evidence of them. Only opinions.

    You mean like what Obama and Holder did in regards to Holder and Fast and Furious . . . resorting in a Contempt of Congress charge that was never addressed? So . . . no . . . change? Sweet!

    They did not just narrow it while making the charges themselves utterly vague in nature but at the end of the hearing (yesterday as I type this) they got so screwed up that they put the voting itself on hold. It was hilarious.

    Apparently the Left's leadership does not comprehend that both the nation and the larger world are watching their Kangaroo Court and Keystone Cops process unfold in real time. It's making an impression, but not the impression that those leaders and their leftist party loyalists WANTED to be made when they pushed this impeachment farce forward.

    I do think it's a sad time for the country that the Democrats have turned impeachment from a solemn and very serious procedure into a simplistic political partisan tool. Impeachments will be a regular feature in the future of American politics, thanks to this precedent. Watered-down and meaningless.

    But that can't happen -- thinks the average leftist apparently -- because the MSM will go to the wall to protect a leftist president no matter what and so there would be political consequences for the Right. Actually that is true. But it CAN happen. Sometimes just desserts happen even to . . . Leftist . . . politicians.

    The Committee has resumed and very quickly started to vote on sending the Articles of Impeachment to the full House.

    The first Article passed 23-17 (again, Lieu is still sick and not available to vote)

    The second Article passed 23-17.

    Time to send it to the full House. Let's gooooo!

    If they had, how likely do you think Republicans would have run campaign ads about Democrats voting to impeach in the middle of the night?

    I think Republicans have plenty of impeachment ammunition for campaign ads....and plenty of money to run them everywhere anyone looks.

    Well, so full House vote will be telling, especially with vulnerable Democrats' votes. I'm sure they'll push it through and then it's the Senate's turn.

    I watched some yesterday. Today, I didn't give a hoot. It would have been worth watching fat jerry heave on camera but I was too busy watching the stock market going up. No new tariffs on the 15th, a roll back of other tariffs and much more American beans going to feed hungry China. That is sure to make swing state farmers very happy. Trump's got the Phase 1 China deal in the bag. That is what people will remember through Christmas, into the new year and at election time.

    Peggy Noonan pointed out that except for some parts of the East and West coasts of this nation the Dem Party electorate AND their leadership are ignoring the Impeachment farce for the simple reason that they know it's hurting their election chances for 2020. Most of them realize that none of the current front runners have got a chance of defeating Trump and so mostly they are concentrating on other issues . . . probably on retaining power in the House . . . if they can.

    If true, I would hope they are getting the tar and feathers out to give Schiff and company a proper send off.... for the good of humanity of course.

    The talking point of "they voted to impeach Trump in the middle of the night" is no longer valid.
