“The Mace pin, made by Ann Hand, a designer in Washington, D.C. is brass with a gold overlay and has a faux pearl in the center that represent the globe. It retails for $125, and it is now on backorder.” “This is not the first time Pelosi has worn this pin. She has worn it on a number of important public occasions since first winning re-election as speaker of the House. The last time Pelosi wore the pin was in October when she and Representative Adam Schiff held a news conference to announce that they had decided to move forward with articles of impeachment. “Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), was seen wearing a black coat paired under a burgundy # bow silk blouse. Asked by a reporter at the Capitol if she and Pelosi wore dark colors by design, Ocasio-Cortez said, “Well I think one of the things that our caucus has consistently said is that today is a solemn day for our country.”
“(We) laid out over several months what the president has done to essentially extort foreign governments to betray our nation and enrich himself,” she said. “So today isn’t a day of celebration, but I think it is a day of resolve and a day that we’re upholding our oath and our constitutional duty.” “…Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-Mich.) who wore a dark grey and black wool coat, told Fox News that some members wore black to mark the tone of impeachment. “It was informal,” Dingell told reporters after leaving the House floor of the black ensemble coordination. “It’s a somber day.” “Normally we wear red [on Wednesdays] and we said, ‘We can’t do that today.’ So, many of the women are in darker colors because it is a somber day,” Dingell added."Barely noticed in the ‘somber day display’ was that Pelosi draped herself, at least pictorially, in Dingell’s widow weeds.

“Wallace said, “I want to go back to this question of the trial in the Senate because the Republicans— by that I mean Mitch McConnell, almost all the Republicans in the Senate and frankly the vast majority of top people in the White House, do not want to call witnesses because look, it is headed in their direction. The fact is that in a political sense, the House has not made a case, Democrats, that the president should be removed from office. The polls show it. Support for removal is declining. The president’s approval rating is rising. Why would you want to mess with that? They’re saying maybe we have a week or two-week. Both sides get to present their arguments. Then we have a vote. We acquit the president, and then he stays on in office.”No mention from Wallace about Pelosi adamantly refusing to send the Dem Impeachment articles on to the Senate, as is de rigueur.
“Politico Congressional bureau chief John Bresnahan observed, “Members taking selfies during impeachment vote.” “Democrats’ apparent glee over impeachment comes after they voted for the first time in U.S. history to impeach a president on a purely partisan basis, as only Democrats supported the effort."Meanwhile, as gleefully somber as they were , desperado Democrats did not just impeach the president they hate—they impeached 63 million of the American electorate before going home to celebrate Christmas, leaving a funeral wreath on the White House front door.
This is what the Dems are dealing with. Does anyone think this is good for the USA! https://t.co/rvY3mDo69r
