Trump slams 'unfair' Pelosi delay, rallies conservatives

Source: AP

By ZEKE MILLER

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — President Donald Trump complained Saturday about House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s delayed transmission of the articles of impeachment to the Senate, which may delay a trial in the GOP-controlled chamber.

“It’s so unfair,” Trump said, days after he was impeached by the House, as he spoke at a conservative student conference organized by the group Turning Point USA. “They are violating the Constitution,” he added.

Pelosi has refused so far to send the articles of impeachment to the Senate, in part to provide more leverage to Democrats in that chamber as they seek to negotiate the rules for the trial proceedings. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Democratic leader Chuck Schumer remain at an impasse over whether there will be new witnesses and testimony in the trial.

Still, Trump is expected to be acquitted of both charges in the Senate, where Republicans have the majority, in what will be only the third presidential impeachment trial in U.S. history. Proceedings are expected to begin in January.

Perhaps Speaker Pelosi should name them the Merrick Garland articles of impeachment and hold them for 293 days.

After all, shouldn't the American people have the right to decide who should be serving in all government positions next year before anything this important is decided?
I wonder if McTurtle even realized that he's been kicked in the balls by Madam Speaker?

...you won't be spending Christmas in a filthy cage, deprived of decent care and humane conditions. So stop whining about "unfair." Eat a fresh bag of shit and roll around in a grease fire.

Karma is coming for you and your family and your toadies and your party.

But We The People know journalistic hacks will NOT be able to start THAT media horse race.

So they can report and amplify Trump rallies and sympathy all they want.

But it's ORGANIZED BULLSHIT.

Just today it was released that OMB told the DOD that the hold on military aid was to remain in place just 91 minutes after the July 25, 2019 Zelensky/Trump phone call ended without a pledge by Zelensky to start an investigation into the Biden's. Slowing things down to allow more devastating revelations to come forward is brilliant. You go girl.

This also shows why more witnesses need to be called as the picture is not yet complete.

is Trump referring to when he says 'Not Fair!'?
(Inquiring minds want to know, scholars of the Constitution, please advise!)

Or is he ignorant of the Constitution, and using it as a weapon to justify himself in front of a crowd that is equally ignorant of the Constitution?

Gosh! I just realised Evangelicals do the same thing, but use the Bible instead!

Like hiring somebody to do so work and then filing a bankruptcy so you don't have to
pay for the work or the materials which causes the person or business that Trump hired
to lose 10s of thousands of $s.

Everyone's unfair to him , everyone's a liar , everyone's corrupt, everyone's against him, and he always plays the victim card whining how unfair he's being treated now, when it's all lies and another act from trump. He is the most corrupt person we've ever had in our government thanks to putin , and now they've blackmailed and bribed republicans and compromised them into protecting putin;s puppet. It;s only a matter of time before they're all exposed, and then shown as co-conspirators. As he gets closer o hetting exposed more he'll escalate his threats , and eventually he'll threaten all Americans openly , and with much worse actions against us all.

Also please excuse my treasonous behavior by my cavorting with foreign adversaries. Just pretend none of this happened, or is still happening. If you conservative senators don't go along i'll get on twitter and insult you all night! I will also veto all of your regressive legislation, which I really care nothing about but will hide behind if you do what I need.
