    It was such a solemn occasion that she gave out pens with her name on them and giggled.  I think she may be lying.

    Just think, if the Democrats wet dream were to come true, Pence becomes POTUS and Pelosi VP?

    When I saw the articles of impeachment being ceremoniously paraded across from the house to the senate, scenes from old movies with Roman processions of litter bearers crossed my mind. Am I the only one?

    And you think that's not the grand scheme?  Granny Rictus becomes POTUS, and thereby incumbent, rendering all the dimmocrat posturing moot.  It also throws the GOP into scramble mode to come up with a viable opponent, something they can't do well with years of planning.

    "Granny Rictus". An apt cognomen. I like it.

    Y'all hear of the 25th Amendment?  She doesn't become VP, Pence appoints who he wants.

    The 25th assumes an orderly succession.  POTUS goes away, VP takes over & appoints  as happened in the 70's with Spiro, Dicky, Jerry & Nelson.   Take out both POTUS & VP simultaneously via a convienient mishap and Granny's yer new Dear Leader.  Don't sell these yahoos short.....

    The game's on.

    I can't help but wonder where we'd be if my guy, John Kasich, had won the presidency.

    I know one thing, if I'm ever on TV I want Adam Schiffs make-up team.  Doesn't he just look glowingly healthy?

    Now Schiff for brains says if we don't impeach, the Russians will invade us.  Where does he come up with this stuff?

    How are they getting here? The Bering land bridge?

    Russia has one aircraft carrier (actually a heavy cruiser with a flight deck) capable of something like a measly 30 sorties a day. This ship's engines are so crappy that it travels with a pair of tug boats, JIC. It's arresting cables are so faulty that all 20 planes have been removed. Without the Crimea, they don't have a dock where they can repair the thing. It caught on fire at a mooring in Murmansk not long ago, so it's basically belly up right now. 


    That's your threat. So what's Schiff saying? They're going to mount an invasion fleet protected by this?

    Course, they could build a dock to build more carriers. Ten years to build the dock, 10 to build a carrier... Meanwhile, they have an economy about the size of Italy.

    It's time to stop being afraid of everyone and everything on the planet. Make peace. Be friends. Jesus. Chill.

    I must admit that Mr. Schiff & Co. have woven a much more convincing tale for the Senate than they produced in their own environs.  Very clever game of connect the dots, then point out that the dots are but conjecture without proof, then demand the proof. 

    I still think they should have demanded the proof, no matter how hard that made them have to work, while the matter was still in the discovery phase.  I understand that the Senate may wish for more evidence and witnesses after they've presented their argument and their known proofs, which they were too lazy to pursue. 

    It had to be laziness, not urgency, or they wouldn't have sat on their work for over a month before going to trial.

    One the PBS Newshour (I know, I know...) one guest explained the House and the Senate portions like an actual legal court case by saying the House was like the arraignment, presenting their case in order to see if there's enough evidence to convict, and the Senate is the actual trial where the evidence at actually argued and a verdict given.

    It has occured to the democratic kangaroo court that they better do something soon because the closer it gets to the elections the harder it will be for their dullard voters to forget just how crooked and stupid they are.

    Maybe, but just maybe they know the evidence they never went through the process to get prove NOTHING.  Asking Trump and company and be told NO, is as far as they went. They are a huge group of Lawyers, most of them in Congress a long time. They know the rules, but did not do what was necessary, why?  All they have done is say Trump obstructed, when all he actually said no.  Now if they had gone through the process and it was ordered he surrender what was requested and he said NO, that would be obstruction.

    The other charge is nothing but a ploy to take attention away from the Bidens

    The Children of the Immaculate Heart is a Catholic charity in San Diego which wants to house teenage girls who've been rescued from sex traffic. California refuses to license their shelter because because the charity won't promote LGBTQ events, facilitate abortions, or provide transgender hormones.

    That's my WTF on your post above, because that's the craziest shoite I've ever heard of.  Caliphornia may be interested to discover that separation of Church and State doesn't just mean that the church can't legislate, it also means that the State can't dictate to the Church. 

    Or, it used to. 

    In America. 

    Suddenly I'm reconsidering my position on walling Caliphornia off.  

    And now, back to your regularly scheduled programming.
