2 House Democrats launch long shot bid to impeach Trump
The Columbian ^ | June 7, 2017 | Stephen Ohlemacher, The Associated Press

Two House Democrats are launching a long shot bid to impeach President Donald Trump, a step that illustrates the deep political divide engulfing Washington and much of the country.

The effort by Reps. Al Green of Texas and Brad Sherman of California has little chance of success in the Republican-led House. They don’t even have the backing of many fellow Democrats.

Nevertheless, the lawmakers said Wednesday they are drafting articles of impeachment. They say Trump obstructed justice when he fired FBI Director James Comey, who was investigating possible Russian ties to the Trump campaign. Federal authorities say they have definitive evidence that the Kremlin meddled in the U.S. presidential election.....

But the IRS scandal, fast and furious and on and on were nothing.

Republicans are such cowards.

I’m thinking of what to say when I call these two that will show my anger without getting me in trouble.

I’ll let my House Rep know what I think about this.

Maybe no one cares :) But why not do it?

I contribute to FR as I’m able, I don’t contribute to political candidates.

There will always be opponents from the opposition party who want to impeach the president. Most of them are just noise. Won’t go anywhere. Just political posturing.

Wonder if the Kremlin meddled in the election of B.Hussein Obama?

and can they PROVE DONALD J. TRUMP PERSONALLY ASSISTED THE RUSSIAN NATION to help DJT win and defeat Hillary...

Al Green and Maxine Waters are both aged and entering a stage of dementia. Desperate Liberals...enough said.

Object lesson: Obama did so many unconstitutional things and covered up so many illegal acts (Fast and Furious, weaponizing the IRS, etc) and we all knew it for years but not once ... not a single time ... did I ever hear of a call to impeach Obama from even one GOP house member. Maybe I missed one but I can't think of any.

Now here we are and Trump has done nothing wrong. There is no evidence at all of any wrongdoing and even if the things he's accused of doing were found to be true there is no actual crime. But for months I've been hearing Impeach, Impeach, Impeach from dems in congress.

Both sides of the uniparty know who's boss.

These two are deep into TDS. There’s no hope for them at this point.

Why not just let them make fools out of themselves and the dem party in general while President Trump continues to return America to its rightful place.

Already illegal immigration is down 75% and food stamp recipients have decreased; a lot in places requiring some kind of work to receive the EBT card.

Now if we could just get Gay’s and Tranny’s out of the military due to mental illness.

GOD FORBID!

Daniel Donovan Jr.

I dont know how he slipped in. He’s a good guy but not nearly conservative enough. Molinari was.

We need another Italian :)

Is it just me, or does anyone else think Al Green looks like the Geico Cave Man?

There are no sides to the uniparty.

They are one and the same. Enemies of America and communists all.

Pure unadulterated crap. The RATS cannot impeach anyone, they are not in power to bring up charges. AP as usual is a mouthpiece for the RATS. ‘Nough said.

These two are REALLY stupid. Trump did not act independently and unilaterally. Trump received recommendations from Attorney General Jeff Sessions and his Assistant (what’s his name) to fire Comey.

Trump is possibly the most demonized man in history yet his favorables keep going up. That is because the urban media has been totally hysterical going on 2 years. Their credibility is now a negative number which turns any attack into an endorsement.

If Trump ever does something impeachable, the 200 failed impeachment attempts before that will make him immune to it. Americans should only start to worry if the urban media calms down from their hysteria and stops calling for a new impeachment every day.
