SHE'S NUTS, AND TWO HEARTBEATS AWAY FROM THE PRESIDENCY – OVERNIGHT: Nancy Pelosi makes Joe Biden look sane. She's was out on patrol, or parole, right after the acquittal today breathing fire, and losing her mind. From The Hill:
After the Senate voted to acquit former President Trump, Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Saturday ruled out censuring the former president — an idea that several Republicans had floated in recent days.
“Censure is a slap in the face of the Constitution. It lets everybody off the hook, it lets everybody off the hook,” Pelosi told reporters following the Senate impeachment trial at the Capitol.
“Oh, these cowardly senators who couldn’t face up to what the president did and what was at stake for our country are now going to have a chance to give a little slap on the wrist?” Pelosi said while slapping her own wrist.
“We censure people for using stationery for the wrong purpose," said Pelosi, referring to an episode that led Republicans to censure former Rep. Charlie Rangel (D-N.Y.). "We don’t censure people for inciting insurrection that kills people in the Capitol.”
Moments earlier, the Senate voted 57-43 to acquit Trump, short of the two-thirds needed to convict him.
Seven Republicans voted with all 50 Democrats that Trump was guilty of inciting a violent insurrection against the Capitol on Jan. 6 in a failed bid to halt the certification of President Biden’s election victory.
COMMENT: It might be nice if Nancy returned to the business of government, rather than constantly kowtowing to the most radical leftist members of her party.
