| Impeachment markup heats up as Dems invoke MLK, Nadler says 'we cannot rely on an election' to oust Trump | |

| [FOXNEWS] The House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday night began the first phase of a fiery ...a single two-syllable word carrying connotations of both incoherence and viciousness. A fiery delivery implies an audience of rubes and yokels, preferably forming up into a mob... "markup" process for the two articles of impeachment against President Trump that they have settled on, barreling toward a final floor vote even as moderate Democrats in GOP-leaning districts have floated the idea of backing down in favor of a censure resolution. Almost immediately, the evening proceedings broke out into heated disagreement, as the panel's top Democrat declared that it would be unsafe to wait until the 2020 election to remove Trump, and another claimed Trump's actions were an "affront to the memory of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr." Meanwhile, ...back at the railroad tracks, Little Nell tried to kick her bound feet and scream post the snotty handkerchief Scarface Al had stuff into her mouth... the ranking Republican slammed Democrats for attacking Ukraine's leader because he had undercut their case against Trump, which has foundered in several battleground polls. "We cannot rely on an election to solve our problems, when the president threatens the very integrity of that election," House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., said in his opening statement,
"This committee now owes it to the American people to give these articles careful attention," Nadler added at the beginning of the markup for the impeachment articles, which included obstruction of Congress and abuse of power.

| #9 The Democratic Party sounds so ... democratic. "We must have a coup d'état against an elected President because we are afraid the voters will reelect him!" |

| #6 So we're now hearing from Democrats of all persuasions - new, old, left, moderate, morons and sophisticated alike - that when it comes to OrangeMan, our Constitution is meaningless. A Virginia (D) tells her constituents in effect that for OrangeMan there is no such thing as the Constitutional presumption of innocence. Schifferbrains and Nodding-offer tell the nation that when it comes to OrangeMan, elections must not be tolerated. The entire Dem establishment agrees that Constitutional provisions against entrapment, domestic spying, illegal search and seizure etc do not apply to anyone connected to the Evil OrangeMan. Q: Where in the Constitution is this all-nullifying OrangeMan Clause? |

| #4 These Shitshow Clowns know their turnout math. They see the writing on the wall: 5% minority unemployment + 35% black & Hispanic support for Trump = landslide in November. |
