A ribbon of darkness is about to cast its shadow: The path of totality.
We’re not talking about talking about Monday’s solar eclipse. The path of totality we’re discussing about is the specter of congressional resolutions to censure or even impeach President Trump.
Congress has a lot to deal with: North Korea, government funding, raising the debt limit, health care, tax reform, supposedly infrastructure. But the U.S. Capitol is soon to find itself directly in the path of totality when it comes to the president’s remarks about white supremacists and Charlottesville.
The issue will likely monopolize Capitol Hill as the events of last weekend cloak Congress in a long, dark shadow.
It’s one thing for Democratic Reps. Jerold Nadler of New York, Bonnie Watson Coleman of New Jersey, and Pramila Jayapal of Washington, to draw up a resolution to censure Trump over his comments.
It’s an altogether different enterprise when House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., pitches her full support behind the effort to sanction the president.
“Every day, the president gives us further evidence of why a censure is necessary,” Pelosi said. “It becomes clearer that the Republican Congress must declare whether it stands for our sacred American values or with the President who embraces white nationalism.”
Pelosi’s maneuver may appear like a political power play to publicly shame Trump for how he handled Charlottesville, in part saying “both sides” were to blames for the clashes between protesters and counter-protesters that ended in the death of a 32-year-old woman....

Say what in reference to the story??? So if I understand this, Pelosi says if you do what we say there will be no sanction on you President Trump?
If I were President Trump I would tell her to pound sand. Any Republican who supports needs to know there is an election in 2018.
Wow.
The level of transparency would make even Maduro blush.
Seriously, is that the best you got?
These people have NO CLUE what would happen if they tried to impeach Trump, on flimsy technicalities.
They would be opposed by the largest standing army the world has ever seen. Picture at least 100 MILLION ARMED patriotic Americans, ready and willing to oppose them.
Behind every blade of grass...
Well, for months they have been shutting down free speech, destroying property & businesses, marching in the streets, assaulting citizens and killing cops. All this, and nothing has been done to them. They keep getting bolder & bolder every weekend.
Maybe I'm a foolish optimist, but I hope the DC establishment is not that stupid. I'm still hoping President Trump can do enough good in eight years to push back the date of our Second Civil War. Worsening the shooting war right now by overturning the results of the 2016 election is not the route I wanted to follow. I don't care if they censure our President, since empty resolutions mean nothing, but impeachment is crossing a line America's totalitarian enemies would be prudent not to cross.
This is a pathetic article by Chad!
He knows this is a distraction, Pelosi is just looking for publicity. What she’ll really be after is insurance company subsidies.
Very disappointed in him.
