Nobel Laureate Paul Krugman Explains Why Republicans Are Qualitatiely Worst Than Scrooge
Greetings,
Pelosi's Best Move Might Be To Keep Articles Of Impeachment "In Her Pocket" Forever
Here is how I answer the question posed in my subject line.
We've heard nothing about a "House Pocket Veto" because "media consolidation," and the consequent fact that "media consolidators" -- chiefly Comcast, The Walt Disney Company, AT&T and ViacomCBS -- are in the business of "selling papers."
And so these profiteers "do what markets always do."
First they "run a story up," then they "run the same story down."
And then they "repeat the cycle" to ensure an emotional "horse race" rather than proportionate reporting and measured judgment.
The heavyweights who really move markets know they will make even more money playing both ends of the boom-bust cycle - "running markets up" at the get-go and "running markets down" on the backside.
They know that if your rich enough to REALLY play the game that someone makes money wherever a "deal is cut."
And it doesn't have to be a profitable deal to make a profit.

Notably, Thomas Aquinas said that sin is always accompanied by three traits, one of which is "loss of proportion/perspective."
In large part, "conglomerate media profiteers" work their black magic by bringing right-wing fringe groups into the mainstream discussion, pretending they're broadening the discussion when, in fact, their dumbing down the discussion.
Mirabile dictu! In that swelling sea of stupidity, it becomes ever easier for "smart" money to make even more money by insuring ever more disproportion and "seismic upheaval" in "the level playing field.

The propagation of lunatic disproportion by Consolidated Media (aka Conglomerate Media) falls under the rubric of "Normalizing Derangement," a significant subset of which is the propaganda-noise-machine effort to persuade "the uneducated" that "Opinion Trumps Truth."
The rest of the world considers the United States crazy because we are.
But crazier still is the fact -- plain as potatoes -- that we deliberately drove ourselves nuts and now the nation is in a position where restoring health to The Body Politic is as difficult as restoring workable sanity to a schizophrenic.
But returning to the particular issue in hand...
Here is the only other reference to a "House pocket veto" I've come across. (I uploaded this post in July).
House-Only Impeachment (Without Taking The Process To The Senate)
When I learned of the "House Pocket Veto" from this one-and-only press reference, I immediately said to myself "Of course! What a great way to bring ignominy on mofo in such a way that the Senate cannot "exonerate" chest-thumping knuckle-dragger.
The fact that there was no other media reference to keeping "articles of impeachment" in the House --- coupled with the fact that I could not even google confirmation of my original source --- lead me to doubt its accuracy.

To repeat: "We deliberately drove ourselves nuts and now the nation is in a position where restoring health to The Body Politic is as difficult as restoring sanity to a schizophrenic." I am not using hyperbole in this assessment. I am referring to rudimentary matter-of-fact.
Political lunacy has been normalized for so long now --- arguably as long as humankind has existed --- that it is very difficult to 1.) "name the beast," and 2.) if someone names it, not to be laughed out of town.
Time Out Of Mind, "Deep State Plutocracy" Is The Enduring Conspiracy. Warfare And Racial Animus Are The Decoys
And so, "we are where we are."
Although Ted Cruz and Kellyanne Conway said all the following things, it is also true that both these miscreants have their heads so far up Trump's ass they've already bumped into McConnell, Graham, Gohmert, Goetz, Jordan, Lee, Alex Jones, "Q," Hannity, O'Reilly, Fox and Friends, "Bowtie" and all the other pimps.
Just "talking with these people" normalizes our political psychosis.
