Trump Impeached, But You Already Knew That. Goes After The Dingells In Michigan. Not only was he impeached. He may have lost Michigan last night. A lot of Dingell voters are/were Trump voters.
Mark Meadows To Retire From Congress To Do Something Or Other For Trump. If he’s gonna do it before the election, which seems likely, he’ll be leaving sooner rather than later.
The 2-1 decision, by a panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit in New Orleans, left the fate of the nearly decade-old health law in limbo even as access to health care has become a central issue in the presidential race. Republicans, for whom a decision to throw out the law heading into the presidential election year could have been a political nightmare, seemed relieved, while Democrats issued a flurry of statements emphasizing that the law was still in grave danger.
WASHINGTON — Speaker Nancy Pelosi indicated Wednesday night that the House could indefinitely delay sending the articles of impeachment against President Trump to the Senate, leaving ambiguous the timing of a trial to decide whether to acquit him or convict and remove him from office.
After historic nearly party-line votes to impeach Mr. Trump for two articles, abuse of power and obstruction of Congress, Ms. Pelosi told reporters that she would hold the articles back until it was clearer that the upper chamber would give the case a fair hearing. The strategy suggested she was keeping the charges as leverage in a coming negotiation over the terms of a Senate trial.
But it could leave the matter in limbo until early January, delaying the start of a trial for an unknown period of time.
“We will make our decision as to when we are going to send it when we see what they are doing on the Senate side,” Ms. Pelosi said. “So far, we have not seen anything that looks fair to us.”
I don’t like this. I love this. If you’re a vulnerable Senate R, the longer the trial is delayed, the more vulnerable you become. You can bet that that they’ll be pleading with Moscow Mitch to reach some accommodation.
Trump Opposes Sanctions Bill On Russia Sponsored By–Lindsey Graham. I can visualize ‘good angel’ McCain perched on one Graham shoulder while ‘bad devil’ Trump is perched on the other. Anyone betting on Graham’s ‘better angels’?
There’s A Democratic Presidential Debate–All White, Except For Yang. Jee-zus, more Klobuchar. And bleeping Tom Steyer. Steyer’s on the stage and Cory Booker isn’t? I may not watch.
Meyer And FOP At War. I’m with Meyer on this. The timing of this is more than curious–it’s deliberate.
What do you want to talk about?
