Instead of lasting “forever”, Nancy Pelosi’s signed “souvenir impeachment pens” ran out of ink today.
Look for them next on e-Bay.
They ran out of ink on the first day the Democrats’ two flimsy Articles of Impeachment reached the Senate and will now have to be retired as just another Ocasio-Cortez like badly misfired PR stunt. "It is appropriate at this point for me to admonish both the House managers and the president's counsel in equal terms to remember that they are addressing the world's greatest deliberative body," Roberts said. "One reason it has earned that title is because its members avoid speaking in a manner, and using language, that is not conducive to civil discourse. " Roberts continued: "In the 1905 [Judge Charles] Swayne trial, a senator objected when one of the managers used the word 'pettifogging' -- and the presiding officer said the word ought not to have been used. I don't think we need to aspire to that high a standard, but I do think those addressing the Senate should remember where they are.”The historical words in the NRSC video going viral over the Peoples’ Internet, are a perfect description about what’s been happening since President Trump’s shock election:
"An angry mob is at the gate, but the United States Senate has the watch," the narrator says, in closing. "The Senate exists for moments like this. So it's time for the adults in the room to have their seat at the table. Nancy Pelosi and House Democrats have had their turn. The sham is over. A fair trial starts now." “But Democrats have accused Republicans of running an unfair Senate impeachment trial process, specifically because the rules of the trial don't provide a process to subpoena witnesses or additional documents until after House impeachment managers and Trump's defense team have presented their respective cases.”The campaign to impeach President Trump may have begun on Jan. 20, 2017, but for all intents and purposes, it ended on Jan. 21, 2020 when Pelosi’s “forever” came to an inglorious end.
“He is accused of being Donald J. Trump. "For that high crime, the Democrats say, he must be removed from office. “The Democrat “House managers” are going to get 24 hours over the next two days to lay out their opening arguments, but how are they going to fill that time, considering that they’re not even accusing him of committing any crimes? “Certainly no actual felonies — you know, Bill Clinton stuff like obstruction of justice, perjury and subornlng perjury. "They just accuse him of being … Donald J. Trump. “For that they need 24 hours? "How are Schiff, Nadler, et al., going to fill those hours? Are they going to talk about how he puts ketchup on steaks? And then orders two scoops of ice cream for dessert?”
