House Democratic lawmakers faced with a resounding “no confidence” from the Senate, are now devising a new strategy, in their continued attempt to usurp the Constitution.
Not content with politically weaponizing impeachment, and making a mockery out of a somber and sobering process, “nervous” Democrats are now considering withholding impeachment articles, after the full House votes on them, perhaps on Wednesday.
The brazen strategy purposed by a few panicky House Democrats is to vote on the two articles of impeachment against the President, however, refuse to send them to the Senate, where Republicans have already announced it will die a quick death.
Progressive Editor-in-Chief Charles Sykes, who runs a political website called “The Bulwark” reported on the new strategy being debated by Democrats within the House.
Leadership within the Republican Party have already indicated that they’ll quickly end the impeachment charade once the adults in the Senate take over
“House Democrats should treat these comments as game-changers,” Sykes states. Noting that there is “no requirement that the House immediately send the articles of impeachment to the Senate,” Sykes recommends that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi play her “final card.”
Some Senate Democrats are thinking about approaching Speaker Pelosi and asking her to withhold the articles of impeachment in the House, as leverage (BLACKMAIL) until Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell agrees to a trial in the Senate.
“If we don’t agree on a set of rules before the articles arrive over here, I think we’re cooked. I think McConnell has his people totally in line. It will be a procedural thing,” said one concerned Democratic senator.
However, President Trump has already indicated that he can go either “long” or “short” when it comes to the Senate.
While Democrats in the Senate actually believe that somehow they can salvage this kangaroo court by attempting to question the Presidents advisors and former cabinet members, which no doubt they would invoke “executive privilege” against testifying, while the Presidents counsel can call on Adam Schiff, the elusive “whistleblower,” former Ukraine officials as fact witnesses, along with former VP Joe Biden and son Hunter, regarding their dealings in Ukraine, all under oath. In short, be careful about what you wish for.
However, that real scenario has somehow eluted dysfunctional Democrats, regarding a Senate trial, to the point where Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer on Sunday sent a letter to McConnell laying out a series of demands for a “fair” trial.
The letter in part reads; “In the trial of President Clinton, the House Managers were permitted to call witnesses, and it is clear that the Senate should hear the testimony of witnesses in this trial as well,” Schumer states in the three-page letter sent Sunday (below). “I propose, pursuant to our rules, that the Chief Justice on behalf of the Senate issue subpoenas for testimony by the following witnesses with direct knowledge of Administration decisions regarding the delay in security assistance funds to the government of Ukraine and the requests for certain investigations to be announced by the government of Ukraine: Robert Blair, Senior Advisor to the Acting White House Chief of Staff; Mick Mulvaney, Acting White House Chief of Staff; John Bolton, former National Security Advisor; and Michael Duffey, Associate Director for National Security, Office of Management and Budget.”
Schumer, of course, is in the minority, however, he “demands” something from the majority, which once again illustrates how dysfunctional Democrats are, they’re playing Russian roulette (excuse the pun), with all chambers loaded.
The Senate should do what they have to do and forget about the Crazy House!!!!!
ME THINKS THE DEMONRATS HAVE A PROBLEM, YOU CAN’T HAVE YOUR CAKE AND EAT IT TOO. THE HOUSE SHOULD JUST DECLARE THE IMPEACHMENT NULL AND VOID. AND THEN THEY CAN GET DOWN TO DO THE WORK WE AMERICANS ELECTED THEM TO DO. THE SENATE HAS BEEN HARD AT WORK WHILE THE DEMONRATS WERE PLAYING THEIR IMPEACHMENT GAMES. COME ELECTION DAY(S) THE DEMONRATS OF THE HOUSE WILL FIND OUT HOW THE PEOPLE REALLY FEEL ABOUT THEM AS MANY WILL BE TOLD TO LOOK FOR NEW WORK ELSEWHERE. EVERYONE OF THEM SHOULD BE GIVEN A PINK SLIP STARTING WITH SCHIFF AND PELOSI.
The Democrats handling of the impeachment baffles me and leaves me questioning the validity of their motives. Let the results of the 2020 election and the subsequent results decide how any questions are settled. The people have the right to decide who represents them as President and not some kangaroo court.
You really don’t get it. Take me off your mailing list. If you really cared you would get that xenophobic misogynistic idiot out of the White House

Liar, liar, pants on fire!!!
Just waisting time and lots of money on this..anyone of you “Americans” out there voting democrat are personaly responcable
This is why Jerry Nadler, Adam Schiff and Nancy Pelosi need to be INVESTIGATED (and CHARGED) with SEDITION and TREASON, CRIMES against the POTUS and the American People as per the U.S. Constitution, ASAP. The KNEW that POTUS Trump was INNOCENT of ALL charges levied against him and they are GUILTY as charged. They’ve been attempting to impeach the POTUS since 2016 on BOGUS charges. They need to be removed from office ASAP. Since they WEREN’T doing their jobs AND lying, we CAN add DERELICTION of DUTY and PERJURY as well. THIS isn’t political “fun and games” but SERIOUS business. Team Trump and his allies 2020.
I laughed myself silly and until tears came. Little Chuckie Flip Flop, senile Nancy’s support puppet, is trying to make certain there is a fair trial in the senate when there certainly was no fair trial in Congress? You have got to be kidding me? Trump investigates the former VP of the USA for stealing millions for himself, getting his never do well son a $50,000 a MONTH job for which he had absolutely NO qualifications and than the VP BRAGGED about strong Arming the guy from the Ukraine. Ukraine gave in to Bidens demands, Trump looks into it and TRUMP get IMPEACHED? WTF????? All these moronic DUMMICRATS did was to insure another Trump victory in 2020 but they are too stupid to see it because their pied piper, senile Nancy has lead them down a dead end alleyway from which there is absolutely NO ESCAPE. Because they are stupid, it WILL take them awhile to realize what she did and when the do, they will turn on her like a pack of wild dogs. It is going to be a great shit show so be sure and get your tickets early, hahahaha.
Tell Schumer to they started this and didn’t do it above board! Everything was
A secret and they called whatever witnesses they wanted and stopped republicans from asking questions and
Now they want to run the senate trial!
Tell Schumer absolutely NOT!
McConnell have some b—-s
Who the hell do those democrats think they are! We the people are boss, we can vote you all out!
Can anyone say “QUID PRO QUO”? Isn’t this what they were trying to impeach President Trump with along with all the other BS excuses? Schumer “demands”? Hee hee hee…sorry Schumer you don’t demand a single thing at this point. Better hold on to your britches Dems I believe this is going to come back and bite you good and hard. Sad but this is what we all know as KARMA!
Remember bv thecdemocrats rammed bv through the obama care? Why do they think the Republicans should not do the same thing. Democrats keep screwing the pooch and then expect others not to do the same.
Mitch McConnell and Lindsey Graham both guarantee that the impeachment proceedings in the Senate will be a sham as they work closely with the White House. Nancy Pelosi is right to hold the articles in the House until the Republicans remember that they work for the American people and not Donald Trump.
Jerry if that isn’t the pot calling the kettle black! Do you really think the impeachment hearings WEREN’T a sham? Millions of our tax dollars wasted for a bunch of disgruntled children to have an extended temper tantrum? Sorry dems but the Senate is not going to do it Nancy’s way. They will determine their course of action as the Constitution dictates,, not in a manner dictated by Nancy and the rest of the kindergarten class in the house! The translation of kindergarten is “children’s garden”. Such an appropriate description of the lost house!!!
Trump should no be impeach he did nothing wrong the country is doing good he is a good president the democratic where after him for a long time
With the disgraceful way the Democrats have treated our President I would think it is time to impeach Pelosi. What the President dis was what we as Americans expect our President to do to make sure the government is doing what is expected of them. The Democrats seem to forget that they are supposed to work for the people, not what they personally think is right
I want to see a trial in the Senate with Adam Schiff giving sworn testimony, with perjury charges in play. And, of course Joe Biden and Hunter Biden would be sworn in. It’s time for the Republicans to stop playing “Mr. nice guy” and started going for the jugular.
So do I. I want bbn tut o see adam Schiff, pelosi, nedler. And that bs whistleblower testify.
Many in Congress demonstrated they feel they are above the citizens and the Constitution. How low they have devolved. Sad!
No Impeachment Articles no Impeachment. It has to pass both the House and Senate. And Pelosi has no power in the Senate and thinking she can strong arm them won’t work. So basically 3 years of tax payers money just a total waste. I wish they would have to pay the government money they have spent over this deal back to the federal government. So basically Trump isn’t impeached and life goes on works for me. And that also means that Trump can run for 2 more terms also. It is in the Constitution. So funny
Ah ah the democrats lied themselves into a corner. Now they cant figure out a good way out
McConnell is the leader or the foreman of the jury he has said he is working with the White House and trump that would be like a bank robber working with the foreman of the jury that is going to judge him. How stupid is that
But there was no crime. .And the foreman knows it.
The problems are two folds for the Democrat. McConnell does not want to deal with impeachment trial: he said this is something they do not want. So there goes the leverage.
Also Democrat lawyer testified in the house that the President is NOT impeached until the articles of impeachment reaches the Senate. So, for now, the President is not even impeached.
So, all this impeachment exercise is no more than a protest votes in the house, indicating that the majority of the House does not like the President: a complete waste of tax payer montey
The Democrats have absolutely nothing to offer America. They haven’t gotten over Trump winning so they combine hate with a 0 agenda to offer and try to impeach Trump. Pelosi is crazy along with any Democrat that follows her lead–or lack of leadership. May the entire Party rot in hell.
I think the Democratic Party has nullified all due to their stupidity. They think all Americans are stupid. I think America is about to show them who is in control. We Americans aren’t stupid. We do not believe the democrats are lawful at all. We must throw all the democrats and leftists out and. Put our country back in charge. America rules, not the silly democrats. The truth is there to see for everyone. You just have to be honest and true to America in order to see the corruption in the democratic congress. Please America, be honest this one time and you will see the corruption in the democrats.
