Trump responded to the news of the impeachment managers via Twitter, as he called it “another Con Job by the Do Nothing Democrats.”
“Here we go again, another Con Job by the Do Nothing Democrats,” he wrote, adding, “All of this work was supposed to be done by the House, not the Senate!”
The House will vote Wednesday on a resolution to send the impeachment articles to the Senate — the articles were passed on Dec. 18 in the House. The two articles charge Trump with abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.
The secretary of the Senate is expected to receive the articles around 5 p.m. on Wednesday. As Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said on Tuesday, the Republican-controlled Senate expects to start the trial on Jan. 21.
Vile nasty creatures
Dear Netanyahu please send in some Mossad fellows to ” correct” the thinking of these leftist slime balls. Do it now!
*** With all apologies to the good people at Disney***
Pelosi and the Seven Dwarves
We must impeach, impeach
Though it might be quite a reach
Well at least they’re going to “work”.
Disney does not deserve any apologies.
Of course, Schiff and Nadler were named. They hate being out of the spotlight for long. Will Schiff perform another skit for this event? “Protect and defend our constitution “ says Pelosi? That ship has sailed. But President Trump hasn’t allowed this hoax to stop him from his goals. Stock market hit 29000! Unbelievable. Phase One with China was signed today.
You knew she would put Shifty Schiff & Nasty Nads on the list. She doesn’t want them testifying. Does she think the American people are stupid and we don’t see the game she/they play? #FacePalm
Them being managers won’t prevent them from testifying as they have no conflict of interest.
