#2 Let's start with a Cocaine Mitch v. San Fran Nan cage match to the death.

#4 Well, other side of the "refusal to send" coin is "refusal to receive."

#5 After waiting 3 years for the Big Moment, you're going to pull out now? Gonna be fun watching the True Believers(tm) spin this.

#6 Complete, total, utter Shitshow.

Do these people have even the faintest notion of how ridiculous they appear?

Do they really talk to no one outside their bubble? No one?

We are ruled by morons - and mad hatters.

#7 Sentence first, verdict afterward -- and trial last of all.

This madness is literally taken from a satirical lunatic-children's story.

And playing out in the highest representative body of the land, in its full shining absurdity, in real time for all to see.

What despicable morons. November can't come soon enough.

#8 So basically he's not impeached until they deliver the articles of impeachment to the Senate but most of the Dem zealots believe he's impeached so they can enjoy the Holidays before the game is undone.

#9 When they get back from the holidays, they'll find that their ~~homework~~ impeachment documents were eaten by the dog.
Yeah! Yeah! That's the ticket!

#10 Gingrich was on FoxNews this AM. One of his "Legal Expert™"friends has made the argument to him that by taking recess without acting on the impeachment, HoR has made it legally a dead deal that they would have to take up again after they return. He didn't know if that was true or not. Pretty obviously constitutional norms and rules don't matter to the Donks

#11 Nancy knows that her bogus articles are DOA in the Senate so she's trying to keep this whole kerfuffle going as long as she can and to blame Mitch as she goes. She signaled her virtue which was all she could do anyway but now she seems to have no clue how ridiculous she looks. Even her friends in MSM are baffled.

#12 The Articles of Impeachment had to be entered into the Congressional Record. That's a matter of public record. No need for the proforma ritual. Just use that Mitch. The Constitution charges the Senate with the trial. Make it so.

#13 First new Constitutional Amendment in many years needed to prevent people like Pelosi pulling stunts like this again.
