The Democratic-run House has begun debate on two articles of impeachment against the Republican president. The first charges Trump with abuse of power. The second charges him with obstruction of Congress. The Republican-controlled Senate is expected to acquit him in a trial next year.
Pelosi held her hand over her heart and recited the Pledge of Allegiance to the House. She observed that lawmakers are the “custodians of the Constitution.”
The California Democrat spent much of the morning in the dimly-lit third row from the back, all to herself. There, she sat in black with her mace pin on her jacket and a green folder on her lap. She flipped through sheaf of papers, appearing to read them one by one. Periodically, she looked up to hear the debate on the rules.
At 12:08 p.m., Pelosi descended to the well of the chamber to the podium and to open the debate on the abuse and obstruction articles.
You’re wearing black for yourself and your party. As the president requested, I said a prayer today. You lying crone started with quid , bribery and treason and ended with nothing. You and the Gang are the face of the Devil . There is a G-D .
What a lying fascist. Hey nasty say goodby to your majority come 2020.
AS OF TODAY- herr unterfuhrer trumpf ist IMPEACHED! The kapo trolls and torchlight goose-shleppers can’t change that. Put it in the books!
You heard it folks, she’s not responsible for her actions because she had no choice.
For her to say “No Choice to impeach Trump” is a joke – she & the rest of her cronies were talking about impeaching Trump before he even took office!
First it was about Russian collusion; then it was about conflicts of interest in foreign business dealings; Then about patents in China; Then it was about his lawyer Michael Cohen; …. list goes on & on.
Immediately after his inauguration, The Independent and The Washington Post each reported on efforts already underway to impeach Trump. None of their efforts got off the ground. Only in September 2019 did they officially start impeachment inquiry with regard to Ukraine fiasco.
It was Democrats only choice to try to impeach Trump – as they still crying that they lost the 2016 elections.
