            Pelosi: "We won't impeach. We won't impeach. We won't impeach."

            Trump: "Did you hear the one about Joe Biden extorting the Ukrainian government to drop a criminal investigation against his son?"

            Pelosi: "Oh, wait, NOW we want to impeach!"

              The announcement was a stunning development...
              "A stunning development"?

              The Democrats have been talking impeachment since before Trump was even inaugurated, and it was the entire platform of the party's 2018 election campaign. Only the lowest of the low-information morons would find this in anyway stunning.

                Much will depend upon the contents of the transcript between Trump and Ukranian president Zelensky due to be released tomorrow.

                  Yeah - Trump is probably not stupid enough to volunteer to release actually damning evidence.

                  There will be much flash, little bang and then a very scary silence - right before the primaries!!

                  And a lot of moderate Dems staying home - or voting Republican.




                  In a more serious vein, if Bidengate fizzles, this could be extremely bad for the future of the Dem party itself.

                    Since Trump ordered the release, I doubt there's anything in it that will hurt him.

                        Under a formalized impeachment inquiry, the committee will get the whistleblower complaint and underlying evidence. It won't have to settle for just a transcript of the call.

                        It'll also get the Mueller investigation's grand jury documents and a good deal of other material.

                        The trigger has been pulled and releasing a transcript of the call won't reverse that.

                          I'm honestly still undecided by the motive behind the huge risk they're taking.

                            According to an article I read recently, former politicians can be impeached and barred from holding office in the future.

                              Pelosi has completely lost control. I think she's just tired of the fight - or unable to keep it up. She's giving the freshmen the rope to hang themselves and the party.
