Simply put, we got punked. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other high-ranking Democrats who were predicting the fall of Trump via impeachment didn't deliver. Worse, seems they can't.
Well, it's "Free Your Mind Friday" on Leid Stories and you can have your say.

The status remains decidedly quo on what only two weeks ago was a rush by Speaker Nancy Pelosi to make fast work of impeaching President Donald J. Trump In the House and then readying him for trial (and conviction) in the Senate.
But Pelosi did not refer the matter to the Senate for trial, even though the House had voted against Trump on two articles of impeachment--abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. And she has given only sketchy information on where, exactly, things stand, and where they go from here.

The impasse in Congress over the legality and constitutional-ity of the impeachment of President Donald J. Trump continues. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Democrats may still be celebrating the surprise move that has put Trump's impeachment on hold for the moment, but they should know that most voters are fed up of tit-for-tat politics.

Two articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump received comfortable margins of support in the House yesterday and will be the basis for a trial of the president in the Senate early next year.
House members voted largely along party lines to put Trump on trial for abuse of power (230 to 197) and obstruction of Congress (229 to 198). If convicted, he will be removed from office.

The nation anxiously awaits the outcome of the biggest political drama since 1998, when President Bill Clinton was impeached. Now, President Donald J. Trump faces the same fate.
The egotistical Trump at first mocked House Democrats' taunts that they would impeach him, but as their efforts began to bear fruit, Trump's boastfulness turned to rage and a vow to best his enemies.
At the peak of this epic political battle, are we witnessing the death throes of the Trump Republican presidency, or the revival of a Democratic party that had lost its nerve?

Even as he faces impeachment by Congress and possible removal from office, President Donald Trump's supporters appear to be standing by their man.
Trump now leads his top Democratic rivals, a new USA TODAY/Suffolk University Poll finds.
The national survey showed Trump defeating former Vice President Joe Biden by 3 percentage points, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders by 5 points, and Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren by 8 points.
And in hypothetical faceoffs, Trump also led South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg by 10 points and former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg by 9.
The poll's findings seem to suggest Trump's current travails and the withering criticisms of him are not undermining his standing with his political base. What does Trump know, or what is he doing, to earn this loyalty?

The Republican-led U.S. Senate prepares to weigh impeachment charges against President Donald Trump tomorrow amid deep political divisions and bipartisan acrimony. What guarantee is there that the process and outcome, which could mean impeachment for the president when the trial ends, will be fair?
The majority-Democrat House Judiciary Committee, last week voted out two articles of impeachment against Trump after hearings--abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. Now, those charges must be tried and ultimately decided by the Senate.
