If President Trump was such an existential threat, why did Speaker Pelosi rush the impeachment only to wait twelve days to send the article to the Senate? (2/5)

I think the "charge" is an interpretation and hyperbolization of everyday speech. The thought that the greatest nation in the world would have elected officials that are this vindictive and so far removed from Lincoln's " with malice toward none"....makes me sick.
Replying to @SenatorTimScott
You are a coward...afraid to stand up for the greatest President we the people have ever had. God is watching🙏🙏

You are just useless!

Replying to @SenatorTimScott

Replying to @SenatorTimScott
You have failed. You can multitask. The American people are doing the same. And you supported trumps wild conspiracy theories. Get out of here.
