Now she is trolling McConnell. He said right up front he would be working and coordinating with Trump. She came back with the reply that she already knows the Senate “trial” would be bullshit. And when McConnell tried to play like he was a victim she slapped him again. She is not caving in to his bogus “timetables” or anything. ---

Pelosi is a shrewd, calculating, political bad-ass. Donald Trump is like a tough man contest brawler. He screams. He charges. He throws haymakers. And the rest of the Washington establishment wasn’t prepared. Nancy Pelosi is like an aikido-ka. She’s using his raw energy against him, and pinning him in his own corner. It’s a sight to behold. > > Go, Nancy, go!!! That was good for a laugh. The only thing impeachment will do is cause a massive backlash against the Dems. I am really looking forward to the Senate telling Pelosi and Pals to shove their coup attempt up their collective asses. And I am really looking forward to the 2020 elections. The survival of this nation depends upon our voting Democrats out of public office at all levels of government. ---

And if successful, their “overthrow of government” would throw it over to the next-in-line guy from the same political party. You know, like most coups do, historically. ---

Just under 50% of all voters want Trump booted out of office now. When you add in another x% who don’t favor impeachment and are willing to wait until November to see him gone…it’s hard to spin that into a Republican tidal wave. But kudos for giving it the ol’ college try. ---
