There was a school of thought to censure the president in the House and keep the investigations going while the courts deliberate on the issues of Hair Groppenfuror’s taxes, executive privilege, etc. Probably could have kept it going till the 2020 election, impeach the president a week before, i.e. pull a Comey.
Not really! It was the illegal roadblocks placed by the senate. Senators are supposed to work for the country. However, they have blocked all roads so that the emperor with no clothes can safely pass through.
Interesting. The trial in the Senate is the part of the process that’s moved at breakneck speed. And the GOP has ignored the yellow and red lights symbolizing the wide and deep public opinion support for witness testimony and documentation. This must be Ramirez point in this cartoon. —)
Let’s face it, the impeachment clown car never had any wheels in the first place. Lacking enough partisan Democrats to carry it in the Senate, the pathetic little thing had nowhere to go.
First the complaint was the House was taking too long. Now the complaint is the Senate is not taking long enough. Silly Ramirez. Can’t make up his mind.
This whole process started before the 16 election. Trump acted in a impeachable way almost every day offending the left became a goal of his. Yet with all of Trumps bad behavior Democrats go all in on a phone call. Well it worked back in the bad old days when FDR set his cross dressing attack poodle loose on Al Capone, a hundred murders waves of crime and Capone get’s sent up on Tax Evasion. Trump can only be broken now by ignoring him dismissing him as irrelevant. The likes of Pelosi, Schiff & Nadler hating on him makes Trump stronger and his minions rabid. Run a Candidate that beats Trump like a drum in a landslide. This impeachment show has only helped Trump with no chance of removing him from office or driving him out in disgrace. He just may win again and get a Third SCOTUS appointment and lasting impact all over a overreach by the left pushing to hard .
Some in the senate (and the White House) wanted summary dismisal. Now, that’s speed for you. Failing that, an “Alice through the Looking Glass” trial—"verdict first, evidence later".
Seriously? Telegraphing intent to impeach an hour after the inauguration was a bit much to accept. And then talking about intent to impeach for three (3) solid years burned off any rationale beyond an absolute desire to accomplish the task. Next time, wait for a reason.
Sorry guys but it is true. This was a truly rushed and fumbled attempt at an impeachment with little true cause and evidence and HORRIBLE implementation.
More like the Republican Senate oiled the track on the curves and placed nails on the straightaway. Marco Rubio admitted it was an impeachable offense and Lamar Alexander stated he believed the House Managers proved the case without a doubt. For some reason, neither thinks they will vote to remove him. After all Dear Leader is held to different standards than the Constitution.

Once again Snr Ramirez doesn’t defend DJT and tacitly agrees that Donnie is guilty! The rest is trash.

It’s okay. Maybe you can get it right in the next 4 years… (But probably not, heh-heh!)

Not the speed, but the fact they had not enough fuel.

Republicans decided they did not want to go to prison with Trump.

I don’t think it was the speed. It was the facts. And the facts show there is no impeachable offense.

According to Senator Alexander Trump call was not perfect and shooting someone on Fifth Avenue would be inappropriate but not impeachable.

I’d have to agree: Pelosi lost control of “her” caucus and allowed them to rush to… hmm. “Judgment” isn’t the right word here.

It’s true; Nancy rushed to impeachment by making the process drag on and on and on.

Yay, the evil lying racist Republicans won!
Now they can be totally lawless and ignore the Constitution even more!!
And with Russian help hacking the election, and all the Republican cheating, they are sure to win in 2020!!!

It was the speed…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….at which Republicans forsook their duty in order to join the anti-American cult.
I still can’t believe how fast it happened!

Rushed or not, the Senate would never have voted to convict.
