that I bet Trump will deal with being impeached by going around saying he wasn't really impeached. It perfectly fits his pattern of simply claiming the opposite of whatever the truth is.

Amazing that they're actually trying this.

Bad Trump thoughts must be tilted out of the head so new ones can be poured in. It’s all about ‘belief’.

... was impeached,... impeachment is bad, so pResident trDmp does not want to be impeached either.

So forthwith pResident trDump declares and decrees himself by unitary executive orders that he be un-impeached as if he was never ever impeached to start with. Now his slate is extra hyper spiffy clean once again, without marks, blemish, or stains on his record.

Pelosi is brilliant! Instead of winding up the impeachment story and letting the media quickly shift its attention to the senate non-trial and inevitable acquittal, this technical delay drags the story out.

Best of all, Donnie is falling for the trap the same way his victims usually fall into similar traps.

So please, Donnie, yes! Let's have a lengthy debate about the technical aspects of your impeachment. Especially because we all know how it ends up -- with a final story about how ok, now that pelosi has dotted the final 'i', it's official, Donnie has been officially impeached.

Wonderful, we get to see "donnie impeached" as the lead story multiple times instead of just once!

Wonder if Lindsey will get to snarl on camera a few times, while a supermajority of the public wants a real trial with witnesses.

Keep it going until even the most apathetic non-voter is inspired to say, "What's going on?"

Right... that may work, like the former did, to convince the giant orange man-baby not to have yet another temper tantrum in the moment, but like the former it will fail in time.

Because eventually -- whenever Pelosi decides to -- those articles get presented to the Senate, and then even by your logic he is then impeached.

You are just putting an extra ball into her court -- the ability to create a giant Trumplosion on demand whenever she feels like it.

the House “shall” be given the complete, unredacted copy of the Mueller Report. Oh, but wait! Let’s not forget totally ignored legally submitted subpoenas to testify that were trashed by this weasel of an administration.

They’re upset? Let them scream bloody murder. Unfortunately, an eye for an eye is not always prudent, what goes around comes around. Nothing is giving me more pleasure than watching them sweat it out. Innocent of wrong doing? Prove it.

RW fools are saying the act of impeachment is only when it’s sent to the Senate.

If the President says he's not impeached until Pelosi sends the papers to the Senate, can McConnell refuse to take the impeachment papers from Pelosi and give the President a forever argument?
