Jake Tapper, the Speaker handed out pens. The 'president' blackmailed a foreign country to interfere

in our election.

FUCK OFF.

Asking Debbie Dingell if Pelosi disrespect the solemness of the situation

1. Saw that...

I can hardly stand to watch the jerk....

[doc03]

2. I think that was a huge mistake with all the signing

pens and openly celebrating the impeachment. It plays right into the Republicans claim it was all a political witch hunt. Terrible optics.

3. You are getting sucked in to the whataboutism

Who cares if they use several pens to sign impeachment THE PRESIDENT BLACKMAILED ANOTHER COUNTRY FOR HIS PERSONAL AND POLITICAL FAVOUR. Stay in perspective.

4. Soon as I saw that last night I cringed, I thought how stupid. That was my first

impression I didn't get it from any of the commentary or the Republicans. It was like the football player
dancing in the end zone after a touchdown. The Republicans have been saying this was all politics and
their celebration played right into that. I remember when they got the vote in the House and there were some cheers and
Nancy Polosi shut it down right there. Now they pose with the signing pens. This was a very serious crises for our country this
is no time celebration IMO..I could expect that from Republicans.

6. Do you really think that is even comparable

to what Trump and his cabal have done? It is petty to even talk about in relations to the seriousness of the crimes. It is often done on historic documents, nothing more. This is one of the problems, the repubs can commit treason but oh geeez the dems used more than one pen. Stop!

[doc03]

8. I guess we will have to disagree. They didn't just use more than one pen they posed for photos

like they were celebrating a touchdown. This ain't no damn game. Why did Nancy Polosi stop the cheering
and gloating when it passed in the House?

[malaise]

5. I rarely watch him

He is mostly unwatchable

[Scurrilous]

7. The horror!

"Back in 1998, Republican senators also kept pens as souvenirs after signing oaths for the impeachment trial of President Bill Clinton - although those pens had typos on the text inscribed on them, and had to be reissued.'

9. What did Debbie Dingell have to say about it?

Trump said her recently-deceased husband was "looking up" from Hell, and disrespected her by claiming she "begged" him for the honors actually due a legislator with a 50-year career.

Somehow I do not think Mrs Dingell was overwhelmed with sorrow for Trump's troubles.
