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.....

I live in Green’s district. I almost regret moving back to Houston from Minnestoopid thanks to the lefties in his district.

Our politicians were not elected to waste the taxpayer’s money on all this horse sh!t.
People are getting pissed!
Politicians have been doing next to nothing and when they finally do something, it is just political shenanigans.
FIRE all of them.
Start recalling them.

Sherman and Green are living proof that the very mentally ill can get elected to Congress and Democrats think that their insanity is normal.

An anonymous source told me that Green hates white people and Brad Sherman thinks that he’s actually the cartoon character named Sherman.

Now, that’s just an anonymous source like the one Sen. Reid referred to re Romney’s taxes, but if it was good enough for old crook Harry, it should be good enough for the mainstream media to us.

PS: The only “smoke” about Trump is that which is coming from the Democrats’ collective asses (Warner, Harris, King, Sanders, Pelosi, Schumer and Waters).

Democrats with axes to grind.

Al Green arrested by Capitol Police after blocking a street with supporters protesting immigration reform.

Brad Sherman at the March for Science.

If it’s a long shot and baseless, why is it published that it’s happening?

News is now a show, tailored to an audience.

I used to live in his district too. Now, I live in Culberson’s, though, I’m only a couple of blocks from the edge of Green’s.

Let’s bring it to a vote as soon as it’s drafted.

Get this out of th way and use up the rest of the Dem’s political capital.

High crimes and misdemeanors have to be proven.

Let’s call the bluff.
