How the House destroyed its own case for the Trump impeachment

[TalkRadio_]

The fact is that Pelosi played into the hands of McConnell by first rushing this impeachment forward with an incomplete record and now giving him the excuse to summarily change the rules, or even to dismiss the articles. Waiting for the House to submit a list of managers was always a courtesy extended by Senate rules and not a requirement of the Constitution. By inappropriately withholding the articles of impeachment and breaking with tradition, Pelosi simply gave McConnell ample reason to exercise the “nuclear option” and change the rules on both majority voting as well as the rule for the start of trials. That is a high price to pay for her vanity.

It could get even worse for the House case. I previously discussed that the Senate had an excuse to simply declare that a trial will start next week and either the House will appear with a team of managers or the case will be summarily dismissed. McConnell is now moving toward a summary vote in the Senate, in light of the House failing to comply with its own procedural obligations. That is what happens when prosecutors defy a court and fail to appear for a trial. It is known as “dismissal for want of prosecution.”

You have rorbags all wrong. He won't deny it, he'll cite PROOF that it does. Then he'll proclaim that you're a deplorable.

Not that the 2 things have anything to do with one another, but that's rorbags' problem.

*sighs* But yet he will refuse to acknowledge how his omnipresent "deplorable" label does nothing to promote his agenda. Name-calling gets no one anywhere, it's sad that name-calling is all he has.

It's almost all he has. He has pist counting too.

The thing with rorbags isn't that he posts shit all day, it's that you think he believes the shit he posts all day.

He doesn't. He's a troll who posts shit just to get people to pay attention to him. It's why his posts are so inconsistent and meaningless. And why he often tries to change the meaning of them after the fact. He wants your attention.

Prima Donna doesn't even come close to describing him.

Oh, ok; so my much maligned "attention whore" memes weren't really that far off?

They were spot on.

Go read his posts. It's all about rorbags.

Thread title: "Why do deplorables not start their own threads?"
The constant theme of his posting style: "This thread has triggered deplorables nicely."

Thanks. Apparently my intuition is is still functioning.
