The most powerful sitting Dem, Speaker Nancy Pelosi parachuted into Texas to rubber-stamp impeachment week.
"This is it," Pelosi said. "Texas is our hope for the future. And I'm not just talking about Democrats. I am talking about the country and the world. When Texas goes blue, that's going to be very wholesome for our nation. It is a beautifully diverse state in every way."

Somebody caught wind of our Speaker’s audacious entrance following a most conspicuous Texas twister of a week.
Later that same day (code 9:11 PM), Trump’s Twitter account unleashed the final message in his infamous (and dangerous) Civil War Tweet thread.
Can you say, triggered?
“Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats can’t put down the Impeachment match. They know they couldn’t beat him in 2016 against Hillary Clinton, and they’re increasingly aware of the fact that they won’t win against him in 2020, and Impeachment is the only tool they have to get.…
....rid of Donald J. Trump - And the Democrats don’t care if they burn down and destroy this nation in the process. I have never seen the Evangelical Christians more angry over any issue than this attempt to illegitimately remove this President from office, overturn the 2016.…
....Election, and negate the votes of millions of Evangelicals in the process. They know the only Impeachable offense that President Trump has committed was beating Hillary Clinton in 2016. That’s the unpardonable sin for which the Democrats will never forgive him..…
....If the Democrats are successful in removing the President from office (which they will never be), it will cause a Civil War like fracture in this Nation from which our Country will never heal.”
Pastor Robert Jeffress,
Beto pounced on the grotesque quote, calling the Civil War Tweet a "threat of violence" and "constitutional crisis", ratcheting up pressure on GOP Senators weighing domestic terrorism as grounds for removal:
And now for the disinformation about the "tipping point" of removal:
This President won’t be removed over a Tweet. It's not about gun massacres and civilian deaths. It's about votes.
This leak is a diversion from the real tipping point for GOP Senators weighing conviction of President Trump in a Senate trial for removal.
This President will be disowned if Texas continues slipping further away. Impeachment has made Texas so vulnerable to flipage, Mitch McConnell’s shadow, Senator John Cornyn spent the past week raging against the impeachment machine 50 times according to Dallas Morning News.
Why so nervous Mitch, I mean John? I thought the GOP Senate staffer just whisprered removal boils down to the singular vote resting in the hands of Grim Reaper McConnell?
As for the godless pastor behind the ugliest Trump Tweet of this election cycle yet, Anti-Defamation League had this to say about Robert Jeffress:
We are disappointed by the selection of Pastor Robert Jeffress to offer a prayer at the historic dedication of the American Embassy in Jerusalem. Jeffress is an unrepentant religious bigot who has a history of making hateful comments about Jews, Muslims, Christian and other religions, who has said “you can’t be saved by being a Jew,“ and “Mormonism is a heresy from the pit of hell.” On this historic day of celebration, we need prayers of peace, hope, openness and respect. The choice of Jeffress sends exactly the wrong message.
Robert Jeffress, highly influential member of Trump’s evangelical advisory council is based in Dallas, Texas. Conclusion: The Civil War Tweet is a Texas cry for help to two voting blocs Trump needs to crank out in droves if Mitch McConnell hopes to hold the line on impeachment conviction, both evangelicals and racist working poor whites clinging to symbols of white power like the AR-15.
And guess where GOP in disarray have dispatched Trump:
Paranoia!
With country club Republicans poised to disown him, I'm sure he's anxious to talk "immigrant invasion" and "confiscation" with an arena packed with white supremacist sympathizers bloodthirsty for Civil War.
It will be ugly, but we must keep fighting to push the GOP to the brink of extinction and fully restore our Democracy under President Beto O’Rourke.
"A Democratic Texas will protect the vision of our founders for our Democracy"
(She’s the only person I know more badass than Beto!)
