Is Pelosi gettng smarter?
Impeachment may well be debated now, and her hands are clean. In fact, it was a good chunk of Republicans who enabled it.

I can't believe that she does not want impeachment, but I think she does not want the Democrats to suffer any backlash for "wasting the people's money on an unfounded investigation". The way it is unfolding is taking that argument off the table for republicans.

1. That's what was so amazing to me about that rollicoaster House vote
It may well prove to become the very fig leaf that Nancy so desperately desired.

How can the Rethugs come back at her or the party for acting on legislation they voted for?

2. The thing that makes me wonder
is that the motion to table failed.

At least when it isn't close, these guys know how the vote is going to go. Either they don't vote if they are going to be embarrased by the result, or, in this case, they didn't twist any arms to vote their way.

3. Poetic Justice may prove to be a bitch

4. Id settle for a little aggression
The Pukes pissed into the faces of Democrats for years.
Self respect demands bare knuckle payback with interest.
And we haven't seen a bit of it.
These people behave like they're bought or threatened.
I won't be satisfied until Dick and Junior are in the dock at the Hague.
