To the celebratory delight of ‘deplorable’ Patriots, Democrat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has crossed the “Never-Forever” Rubicon from which there is no coming back.
"Donald Trump is not going to be President of the United States.” “Take it to the bank, I guarantee it,” Pelosi told Recode Decode, host Kara Swisher, on May 15, 2016.
”It’s no longer Pelosi and late-night talk show host Bill Maher fist-pumping holding centre stage, it’s millions upon millions of patriots Hillary Clinton calls “deplorables”. "And most infuriatingly they’re still chanting ‘USA!’ ‘USA!’ ”
“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. “Pelosi’s silly souvenir pens have been replaced by the indelible ink from the words in a National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) video. “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:

“They never wanted him to be president. They never even thought it was possible,” the ad begins. “But then America spoke. And when President Trump was sworn in as the 45th president of the United States, the left lost it. (RealClearPolitics, Jan. 21, 2020).Prophetic words, as it can now be seen. Pelosi’s “Never” was a big fail, followed by the big fail of “Forever”. She’s now morphed into acquittal "He will not be acquitted," Pelosi insisted during her weekly news conference, according to Politico. “You cannot be acquitted if you don’t have a trial. You don’t have a trial if you don’t have witnesses and documentation and all of that. Does the president know right from wrong? I don't think so.” (Fox News, Jan 31, 2020)“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.”
“Meanwhile, Pelosi’s comments about Trump’s legal team were equally combative. "I don't know how they can retain their lawyer status, in the comments that they're making," Pelosi told reporters, according to The Hill. "I don't think they made the case. I think they disgraced themselves terribly in terms of their violation of what our Constitution is about and what a president's behavior should be." “Pelosi also accused other Trump allies of attempting “to dismantle the Constitution” in order to shield the president from conviction and removal from office over two articles of impeachment that the Democrat-controlled House approved in December. “Some of them are even lawyers,” Pelosi said. “Imagine that you would say — ever, of any president, no matter who he or she is or whatever party -- if the president thinks that his or her presidency ... is good for the country, then any action is justified — including encouraging a foreign government to have an impact on our elections.” “Pelosi has faced her own share of criticism for stalling the impeachment process for about a month – by withholding the approved articles of impeachment from the Senate, seeking leverage in setting the parameters of the Senate trial -- after initially calling for “urgency” while House panels were holding their impeachment inquiries. “Late Thursday, the Democrats’ hopes of seeing Trump convicted took a severe blow when (Lamar) Alexander – one of a small group of Republicans thought to be sympathetic to approving witness testimony at the Senate trial – announced he opposed the effort. “Alexander’s decision made it unlikely that Democrats would attract enough Republican votes to win the argument for witnesses at the trial, making Trump’s acquittal all but certain.”
