THE DIPLOMAD writes on 'Impeachment'.

The process by which these articles were drafted was a procedural abomination, pure Kafka, executed by, to be kind, morons.

Minor correction: insane morons.

Read it all.

AMMO GRRRLL joins the Democrat debate.

And wins easily.

IF NO ONE CARES, is Trump really impeached?

DEAR SEN. SCHUMER [D-NY]: You keep using that word 'impartial'. I do not think it means what you think it means.

MCCONNELL TO PELOSI: Um, about that rush to impeach?

VICTORY GIRLS: McConnell roasts impeachment in Senate speech.

Apparently the Senate can sue to force the House deliver the articles of impeachment. If so, I hope they will so they can be dismissed.

HOIST WITH OWN PETARD: Democrats' own expert witness says Trump not truly impeached unless articles go to Senate.

Heh.

AMERICAN SPECTATOR: Drawn to humor.

Trump reply: "Gladly."

ANGELO CODEVILLA: For whom the new rules?

So egregious have been the ruling class’s attacks on Donald Trump, so shameless has been the sanctimony with which men such as William Webster have defended their biased governing rules, that the rest of us are well nigh compelled to give it a double dose of its own medicine.

It's time to use the other edge of that double-edged sword.

HOUSE MAJORITY WHIP JAMES CLYBURN (D-SC): We won't send the impeachment articles to the Senate if they don't conduct a fair trial (like we did in the House).

[UPDATE] McConnell responds: “Some House Democrats imply they are withholding the articles for some kind of leverage. I admit, I’m not sure what leverage there is in refraining from sending us something we do not want.”

Heh.

MORE FOOTAGE DISAPPEARS IN EPSTEIN CASE: this time from his first 'suicide' attempt.

It's funny how the coincidences pile up. All in the same direction ... kind of like in the Horowitz report on FISA abuse.

AMERICAN THINKER: We don't need different Santas for every race.

Question: As an older white male, am I allowed to read a blog post written by a black man?

OH, YES, THEY'RE IMPARTIAL: Shameless Washington Post reporter wishes everybody a 'Merry Impeachmas' on Twitter ... then quickly deletes it.

ELEVEN ISN'T HIGH ENOUGH: Media/academic ignorance turned up to 11.

THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK: What the effort to impeach President Trump is really about.

People capable of feeling shame would not have immediately followed up the Russiagate hoax fiasco with another transparently phony—and in “substance” nearly identical—attempt to remove President Trump from office, overturn the 2016 election, and shower deplorable-Americans with contempt and hatred. But our ruling elites have no shame.

That is not to say, however, that they are entirely cynical. The means by which they’ve so far tried to crush the Trump presidency may be nasty and illegitimate, but our overlords are 100% convinced of the righteousness of their cause, and of themselves. Hence they do not even need recourse to the cliché that the ends justify the means. The means are good because the end is sacred; they cannot countenance even the thought that the means might be suspect or (ahem) trumped up.

It's long, but read it all. And carefully.
