Mr. Bok here, trying to make a mockery of very serious charges. Just like the rest of the conserves who just want it to all go away. (BTW Mr. Bok, the ritual of walking the articles over to the senate is built in.)
Unintended meaning here, Chip. The House treats the articles with the solemnity it deserves and delivers it to the Republican’s “Grim Reaper” who will find a way to murder it and bury it out back with the 400 bills that have been left to die.
Here’s an idea. . . have a sham trial, exonerate honorable chief, get the gov’t to resign, and let the administration draw up a whole new constitution. . . And if in doubt, chief doofus could always get advice from his close buddy in russia..
Yesterday on the floor of the Senate McConnel said that he would like to see an end to factualism, for the sake of the country…just after the Articles were delivered.
Pelosi and the Dems are taking their responsibilities very seriously. Moscow Mitch is wiping his feet on the Constitution by pledging to coordinate and cooperate with Trump. Rand Paul joins MM by openly threatening Repubs who want to call witnesses.
Hey, Chip: there was even more hoopla than you illustrate in today’s cartoon when all those bastions of morality in 1998’s House took their Articles against Bill Clinton to the Senate. And the Senate of that time did a lot more in the trial than the current crop of GOP (Government of Putin) senators are preparing to do. Shame on you all.
Chip has it wrong. 1. Speaker Pelosi did not carry the Articles; 2. No one wore robes; 3. No one carried candles; 4. Maxine Waters was not among the group; 5. Delivery of the Articles of Impeachment has always been a somber and formal process.
Chip is trying to trivialize the Impeachment process. Shame on him.
With each drop of new information, it just gets worse. (See the book of the Revelations of Lev.)
Republican senators hope to sweep it quickly under the rug. This mess will mold and fester there.
Here’s hoping their acquittal will come back and bite them hard, in a tender spot, as more and more information becomes public of the widespread corruption within the administration and the Republican Party.
Kind of puerile, this image, even apart from the latest shocking revelations of the direct involvement of Republicans in the highest levels of the federal government in probably illegal and certainly grossly improper actions entailing abuse of power. (Remember, to the authors of the constitution, the phrase “high crimes and misdemeanors” did not have the vague and aspirational sense it has for us, it meant quite concretely “abuse of power”.)
It is becoming SOP (Standard Operating Procedure) to blame Democrats for the crimes that Republicans are themselves perpetrating. SAD that a large number of our citizens seem to buy this malarky. Give kudos to the Democrats for at least pointing out the malfeasance of the Gross Old Perverts.

That is how most Democrats see the Constitution, the document Bok thinks was written by SATAN.

They have delivered it. Now we get to see how long Mitch wants to make the show go on before he turns thumbs down on the charges.
