I agree, Clinton definitely committed a crime, but impeachment was a waste of time since he wasn’t, in my opinion, a clear danger to the country.

Totally agree Clintons impeachment was a huge waste of time. They weren't going to remove him from office so why do it? The constant "Whitewater" investigations assured that eventually they would eventually Impeach him for something was ridiculous. This one though was beyond the pale in that going through this impeachment was probably the stupidest thing to do. It assures Trumps reelection and probable Republican retake of the House and even possible the Senate being lost for a couple of generations. Clinton was a lame duck candidate anyway and forbidden from running again but Trump was possibly beatable.

Yeah I read that but her part of this process is basically over now. It is now the Senate that has to act and they will and say a big FU to the House acquit 100% Trump of all charges. The strange part is this was said would happen if they went through with it and they did it anyway. It will be shown to have all been huge waste of time all along.

She has to and SCOTUS will rule 9-0 that tells her she has no choice. Pelosi has just become a niche player whos time has ended being useful. Senators are way bigger niches than Congressmen.

I am starting to think Pelosi's gambit to get out of her predicament is to never send it to the senate 

I agree with this but the Senate quickly determined that there are different views what constituted "high crimes and misdemeanors" and not worth removing a POTUS. A huge waste of time to go through the turmoil. Clinton became popular after it too and would have won a third term if he would have been allowed to run again.

Hillary... er, Felonia Milhous von Pantsuit... is considering running for a third term... er, time.

She can hold it off till after the holidays but the trial starts in January regardless. February will hurt their party even more. Pelosi knows she needs to get this over with fast or her party will be crushed even more. The Republicans will quickly end it all when they vote that Trump is acquitted of all charges and Trumps economy and Wall Street will rev up even more and Trump will be even more popular. 

I love his policies, but sometimes I wonder if his brain works

Yes just like clinton, you would think they would have learned.
 
One small exception. Clinton with 100% irrefutable evidence was guilty of perjury. He was even disbarred

Like it was for Clinton? I don't think that is ever a big consideration for them. Waste is one thing congress does well.

She is know talking about delaying sending it. She knows they have bitten off way too much

What was it when Warren/Pelosi wanted to withhold aid from Israel?  Asking for a friend.

Republicans will seek a writ of mandamus from SCOTUS which will force the Dems to send the articles to the Senate for trial.
 
Pelosi will probably try to delay til they get back from Christmas recess.
 
 
 

Interesting play.  I don’t seem to remember the Senate having any say into how the House conducted their impeachment hearings.  I sounds like the Queen of Hearts wants it her way.
 
Pelosi suggests she may wait to send impeachment articles to Senate: 'We'll make a decision ... as we go along'
 
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said Democrats may wait to send their articles of impeachment against President Trump to the GOP-controlled Senate, for fear that they are incapable of holding a fair trial.
Pelosi held a press conference on Wednesday following the House impeachment vote and was asked what would qualify as a "fair trial."
  "We'll make a decision as a group, as we always have, as we go along," she replied.

Actually Nixon was never impeached only AJohnson, Clinton and now Trump.  Nixon resigned before they were able to do so. 

I am expecting them to win it all.

We’ve had an unbelievable 20 years here in New England. We went from the laughingstock of the NFL to the top and stayed there for the better part of 2 decades. Six Super Bowl wins and 9 appearances under Belichick and Brady. It got to the point of being expected. A generation of young fans knowing nothing but success and winning. It’s been great being a New England fan and seeing #12 work his magic for so long. It’s all coming to an end soon, and I will lament that it is too soon, being greedy from the past 20 years. The magic is just about gone; Father Time always wins. It’s been a hell of a run. 

Don't look that far away right now. The playoffs are starting real soon and better hope they do it now rather than later.

Told my wife I wanted an InstaPot for Christmas. Her expression though told me I ain't getting one. She did buy me a muffin pan 2 days ago and I made blue berry muffins and then cornbread muffins.

In the revolution and Communist Russia putting people against the wall was how they held them accountability but it still meant to execute them. Never has that term ever meant as she claimed it does and mean to just put them up against the wall and let's chat about it. If she misspoke then so be it but she still said something reprehensible and shall be judged as she deserved to be.
 
Oh but she may actually be too young to have learned about much history or other concepts but that is saying she is too young to be addressing any important issues or taken seriously.

Earth shattering observation
