OPINION:
Now that the House Intelligence and Judiciary committees have sent their findings to the speaker of the House, let’s call the impeachment hearings what they were: clown shows. Chairmen Schiff and Nadler should have been dressed as ringmasters and the Democrats on the commitees should have been sporting red wigs, big red noses (picture that) and big floppy shoes. The impeachment articles are so lame they will need crutches to make it across to the Senate chamber.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is making demands she knows the Republicans cannot accede to because she knows there is no chance of a conviction. Then there is our esteemed former Sen. Jeff Flake and his ridiculous assumption that 35 Republican senators would vote for conviction on a secret ballot. What a wonderful world it would be for lawmakers if they did not have to answer to the voters for their actions.
Everything the Democrats have done for the past three years is based on one mindset: “We lost and we’re mad.” It has now become abundantly clear why a donkey is the party’s mascot.
