Does anyone else feel like they are decompressing after the historic vote last night?
There is some sense of relief, that the step was taken by the House, to impeach.
Mitch McConnell is in no hurry for a trial. However, Mr Trump wants it over with as quickly as possible. He believes he has a deal with McConnell to get it done. McConnell went on FOX News to say that he was working hand in glove with the White House Counsel and the White House.
Speaker Pelosi is holding the Articles until she announces the House Managers and until McConnell and Schumer can come to some agreement on the rules. God forbid that it might take an emergency for them to act.
But Mr Trump has been acting very unstable since the realization that he was being impeached. The stress may be more than he can take. He is of such a disturbed mental state that he might "crack", to use a non-medical term.
Even the crowd at his rally last night seemed very uncomfortable around him. They did not know whether to laugh or to cry. So they laughed .
Speaker Pelosi dismissed the House for the Holidays without naming any House Managers or passing the Articles to the Senate. McConnell and Schumer are even further behind. They will all have a lot of work to do when they return.
Until then, Merry Christmas everyone! We can watch 'The Christmas Carol' with George C Scott and Ebenezer Scrooge.

(63,221 posts)I am glad he was impeached, but it hasn't really neutralized his power. He's as dangerous as ever, if not more so. I won't be happy until he is out of office completely, one way or another.
