This is all so serious that Nancy Pelosi had commemorative pens and stuff
Nancy Pelosi Uses More than a Dozen Commemorative Pens to Sign ‘Sad’ Articles of Impeachment
Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) declared herself “sad†as she used more than a dozen commemorative pens to sign the two articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump on Wednesday evening.
The occasion was “so sad, so tragic for our country,†Pelosi told reporters, noting the “difficult time in our country’s history.†She then approached a table that had been prepared with the documents, and two dishes full of pens for her to use — about half a dozen pens in each.
Pelosi then sat and signed the articles, one for “abuse of power†and one for “obstruction of Congress.†She applied each pen, paused every few seconds, switched pens, and then continued.
The two dishes were swapped out and replaced with two new ones after the first article of impeachment had been signed — presumably, different pens for different articles.
Despite pronouncing herself “sad,†Pelosi smiled throughout the signing.

Well, really, we know this is all just a freakout from the Democrats, the next step in trying to overturn the results of the 2016 election which Hillary Clinton lost. They’ve been calling for impeachment ever since.
Here’s what Republicans should do: call their own witnesses, and not let Democrats call any of their own. Hey, it was fine for Democrats, right? They should call the whistleblower, since, according to the U.S. Constitution, all people are allowed to confront their accusers in a court of law. They should call Joe Biden and ask him about the video of him saying he told Ukraine to fire the prosecutor investigating Burisma or else the aid would be withheld. Heck, call Obama and ask if he was aware of Joe doing this. Call Adam Schiff and Jerry Nadler.
They can dismiss the “obstruction of Congress” charge in about 3 seconds. If there was obstruction, it was of the House, not the Senate. And a defendant doesn’t have to cooperate. It’s up to the accusers to prove their case. And when it is purely political, there’s no need to cooperate in a sham. Why not call Matea Gold about her article “The campaign to impeach President Trump has begun”, published on inauguration day. And Rep. Al Green, who said that the basis of impeachment started when he was running for office.”
Democrats are going to rue the day that they sent really dumb articles of impeachment over to the Mitch McConnell run Senate.
