| Pelosi Plays Her Role |

Trump doesn’t care about the stigma of impeachment. He knew they were planning it before the election and, once he got elected, it was on. Some of them even said so in public on Inauguration Day. So, after the Mueller investigation came up empty, President Trump goaded them into doing it; he was the one who made sure that the second Ukraine call got into the hands of the "whistle-blower." I theorized about this weeks ago. He did it so that there would be a trial and, of course, during the trial, all eyes will be watching. That’s when all the things that our government has been doing to us will come out and those things will come out of the mouth of the President of the United States. That’s when we’ll find out the height, weight, breadth and time length of all the graft and money-laundering that has been going on in the US government at least for the last 50 years, perpetrated by all three branches of government and by both parties. Pelosi knows this and it’s why she’s holding up progress. The House voted in favor of impeachment and then promptly departed for Christmas break without sending the articles of impeachment to the senate, as is necessary for a true impeachment to occur. She didn’t want the impeachment at all for this very reason. But her caucus is much dumber and more vocal than she is, so she had no choice. So, now she’ll play the role of Grand Impeacher of Trump and avoid sending the articles of impeachment to the senate for as long as she can. She knows it won’t last, but she’ll play Trump-slayer ‐ figuratively speaking ‐ while she can. Her caucus and her constituency will buy this because they, too, care more about looking tough against Trump, even while barely knowing anything about how the process is supposed to go. Fun fact: many Democrats thought that the House impeachment meant that President Trump was supposed to be immediately thrown out of office. So, Pelosi will bask in the sunlight as Anti-Trump Champion while she can because she knows it will end soon. How could she not know what’s coming? Thomas Wictor has been pointing out for months that President Trump plans to be the lone witness for the defense during the senate trial and once you see that and listen to what the president says about it, you’ll discover that he has warned the Democrats over and over again that this is what he will do. But they are blind and deaf to their own error. And here’s something interesting: the State of the Union address is coming up in February. On her way out the door for Christmas break, Speaker Pelosi invited President Trump to the House to give it, as if everything is normal. Will that be the grand collision of powers? Will President Trump decide to spill the beans then? This SOTU address will be an all-eyes-on-Trump affair, too, and I suspect that there will be a lot of misbehavior by the audience-in-attendance during that speech. The Speaker may be setting the President up for that, but I bet his set-up for her and for the rest of the Democrats will be grander, not to mention more effective than, say, Rashida Tlaib leading a screeching chorus of "IMPEACHED MOTHERF*CKER!!" (I hope they try that. Heh.) Speaker Pelosi is correct in observing that President Trump will have the distinction that only two other presidents have. But I bet he will also have the distinction of showing the entire world how crooked those who claim to lead us and represent us have been for decades. If he does that, he’ll be by himself in history. I think that he’ll do it and so does Madame Speaker, as do many of the other beak-wetters, past and present. It’s why they have hated him from the beginning. |

| #4 The 'Peachment will be described in the history books as a contributing factor to The Stunning Re-Election of Trump. |

| #3 This impeachment will be in the history books but it won't reflect badly on Trump. |

| #2 It's like an indictment. It's not the trial. However, civility is now a thing of the past. The Uniparty can play the game of faux civility. A party in opposition that controls the house but not the executive, will not. Such is the price of concentrating too much power. Above all things, men lust for power. |

| #1 Um, sweetheart? You haven't really impeached him yet because there has to be a, um, trial in the Senate. You lying disgusting play-acting sack of shit. |
