Seven House lawmakers called managers will prosecute the case. They walked the articles across the Capitol late Wednesday but were told to return Thursday for the ceremonial opening of only the third trial of a sitting president in U.S. history.

"The trial will commence in earnest on Tuesday," Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said Wednesday, after being notified the articles had arrived. "We will pledge to rise above the petty factionalism and do justice for our institutions, for our states and for the nation."

  1. Arizona needs to throw Mr.Doug outta the seat because he’s holding Arizona back and Dallas and El Paso with hatred and retaliation??

  2. A purely politically motivated move by the Dems. As if Obama, Bush, Clinton and a dozen other presidents have not violated their oath of office. The Dems didn’t get their lollipop and now they’re out for blood. They prefer risking war, economic collapse and the country going down the tubes, rather than seeing Trump reelected. So I’m not surprised that two Californian Democrats are heading this puppet show they call impeachment trial. Nancy’s obvious delight announcing the impeachment is just plain disgusting. That woman has some serious unresolved issues. And what about the “Pencil Neck” Schiff: “High Crimes, Treason….” The last ones to use this kind rhetoric were the Nazi’s in their show trials run by Freissler. Goes to show what sort of people they are. “Rule of Law….” These people don’t know the meaning of it

  3. Just wanted to wish everyone an early Happy Acquittal Day. I know it’s in 2 weeks , but I’m busy and wanted to do it early 😁

  4. Sad delusional Democrats…
    they had their chance … but no substance with fantasies of structuring the Senate !! They’re all going to need to change their diapers and get on with it !!

  5. From a procrastination point…Pelosi has been WILDLY SUCCESSFUL!

    Looks like 2025 is gonna be her year. I can just feel it!

  6. what a BUNCH of losers( THEY THINK THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING THAT HAS EVER HAPPENED) They are mad because an outsider won the presidential election. Just MOVE on and focus on the next election !! THIS IS WHAT IS WRONG WITH OUR SYSTEM. THEY can’t wait to get home and watch themselves on T.V.

  7. Oooh ahhh people walking…..this must be serious…..oooh spooky. Democrats and our media are the greatest threat our country faces

  8. “Ok guys, get in here, remember sad and somber, walk like you carry the weight of the world on your shoulders, and most importantly when I say we’re concerned about our country, no laughing, keep a straight face, on on 3, were pathetic go team”. Nancy it’s 5 o clock somewhere Pelosi

  9. This represents the Democratic party? Pathetic. Their weak accusations wouldn’t and won’t stand up in a court of law. Biden’s real quid pro quo is the one that needs to be investigated and charged. Waste of Americans hard earned money.
