WHILE THE IRON IS HOT

Haley-Hawley 2024?  Sounds like a pretty decent bet at this stage.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) is backing a resolution to change the Senate’s rules to allow for lawmakers to dismiss articles of impeachment against President Trump before the House sends them over.

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo) announced on Thursday that McConnell has signed on as a co-sponsor to the resolution, which he introduced earlier this week.

The resolution would give the House 25 days to send articles of impeachment over to the Senate. After that, a senator could offer a motion to dismiss "with prejudice for failure by the House of Representatives to prosecute such articles" with a simple majority vote, according to Hawley's proposal.

Word is that Nanner McBotox will be sending the articles over to the Senate real soon.

Bluff?  Called.

Yup, this is why she folded. It wasn't a smart plan anyhow.
