However, what s different about this go-around is that there s the faintest whisper of a possibility he may be convicted by the Senate. The impeachment debate kicked off today after the House formally asked mewling mama s boy Mike Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment, to which he promptly replied, Mew! Mew!
