I just saw on the news that the House isn't sending the articles of impeachment to the Senate until they here what kind of trial there will be. What the fuck? Seriously. WHAT THE FUCK? That's saying "We're not pressing charges unless we know there will be a guilty verdict."
Seriously, just fuck off. Damn...

Yep, it is a fake impeachment to go along with their fake news.

The object isn't to "win", it's to keep the game running, through the Holiday Season® at least.
Don't be disturbed by this. The endless clanging of pots and kettles is standard procedure. Be disturbed that most of these people will be reelected next year.
And ponder the chances that another Trump victory will coincide with another World Series win for the Cubs. That would be weird

She'll send them over as soon as the Republicans agree to abide by the rules they wrote for the Clinton impeachment.
Should be a simple thing to agree to. I mean, they're not massive hypocrites or anything right?

McConnell has publicly stated he will support Trump no matter what. He is a traitor leading a bunch of traitors, and if factual evidence of crimes means nothing to them then why should Pelosi not delay? You are getting mad about the wrong thing and I simply can't understand the lack of outrage from conservatives after watching the Republicans embarass themselves repeatedly and publicly state they will not do their constitutionally mandated jobs.
They ignored addrsssing Trump's crimes and accused Democrats of running a witch hunt while calling the whole thing a TV show.
They got the TV show half right. They are the ones trying to turn these hearings into emotion filled TV nonsense. They are trying to sow the idea that it is all scripted bullshit. They are lying and manipulating their own base.
They are angry about Pelosi's delay (and you by being a team supporter) because they want to rush through their treadonous vote to not remove a proven criminal from the White House. That way they can spin more propaganda nonsense and keep their base (you) from coming to the obvious conclusion that Trump is a criminal and they are all corrupt.
As usual the anger is hypocritical. Republicans prevented Obama from appointing judges and have stopped a huge amount of house legislation from moving forward. They filibustered, they shut down the government, they HURT THE AMERICAN PUBLIC! And now they play the victim for the millionth time?
Get real Republicans, you are all supporting traitors to the United States.

Trump has no crimes, he wanted this trial so he could call witnesses. This is all public record. That is why Pelosi won't send it and Graham won't allow witnesses when/if it is sent.

Graham seems to be wrapped up in profiting off US aid sent to Ukraine too:
