I mean this really isnt shocking. For years, theyve been saying it. Its just been a mixed bag of those who want to get it done now like he far left of the Democratic Party, and those who want to do it, but not so close to an election year; the ones who take into account political realities. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi said she would rather censure Trump than impeach him. Pelosi appears to be someone unable to corral the crazies in her caucus. Maybe she looked a bit out of step, but I stand corrected. She may just be a good tactician, allowing for the Ocasio-Cortez crew to overreach and then plunge in there with the dagger. With AOC, it was the departure of her controversial chief of staff who likened some House Democrats to racists. She also knows the political reality of impeaching Trump based on shoddy evidence that was rendered even shakier with ex-Special Counsel Robert Muellers disastrous Hill testimony about the investigation. The man came off as the Uncle Junior of the investigation team, so aloof that some even questioned if he ran anything at all. It will fire up Republican voters and Trump will have all the ammunition he needs to trash Democrats who arent nearly as clever or nimble as he is on social media. The president is an ace in that field. Also, the evidence is simply not there. Nadler the Hutts only evidence that suggests there is collusion is from Nadler. Still, a majority of House Democrats now support impeaching the president (via NBC News):
A majority of House Democrats have now called for opening an impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump despite Speaker Nancy Pelosis urging the caucus to focus their attention on congressional investigations and ongoing legal battles.
Rep. Salud Carbajal, of California, put the Democrats over the halfway mark on Friday, saying in a statement that Trump evaded truth, encouraged his staff to lie repeatedly to investigators and engaged in obstruction, adding thats criminal.
With Carbajal's announcement, 118 out of 235 House Democrats have publicly called for opening an inquiry. More than two dozen Democrats have now voiced support for moving ahead with the impeachment process since former special counsel Robert Mueller testified before the House Judiciary and Intelligence committees last week.
During his testimony last week, Mueller repeated his report's findings that his investigation into Trump and Russia did not exonerate the president on the question of obstruction of justice and found that Russia worked to try to help his presidential campaign.
Yeah, even NBC News is in on it to no ones surprise. Who cares if Russia tried to help? The fact is that there was no Trump-Russia collusion. Also, foreign governments have interfered in elections has happened before. I know this may be hard for liberals, but history didnt begin in 2016. Is it right? Again, its not about right and wrong; its what there is. Weve meddled in elections and unlike the Russians, weve had success. Weve even supported coups to erase a result we didnt like a la Chile 1973. So, pleasecan we get a grip? This is geopolitics. Get used to it. And even after all of that, the Trump team did not conspire with the Kremlin to tilt the election per the Mueller report, whose sections that point that out are almost always left out by the media.
The run-up to this has been going on for years. All the investigations from Oversight and Judiciary are de facto impeachment hearings. They want to find something and in two years theyve got nothing, even this obstruction junction bit, which still has yet to be proven with solid evidence, is only a thing because liberal pundits spew it on the airwaves. Like Russian collusion, its a manufactured narrative thats gone nowhere because a lot of key parts are missing. You can think that a car can run without four wheels, but reality soon hits you in the face; you cant.
This is another headache for Nancy on the horizon because the far left is going to get increasingly impatient if leadership doesnt move was quickly as they would like. Maybe we can get another AOC-Pelosi fight.
The dems know they’re going to get stuffed at the line of scrimmage, even if they can get a House vote. They just want to have a show for their rabid base.
Dear Democrats:
Please keep yapping about this all the way up to early November, 2020.
Sincerely,
We The People :)
For what? They still do not have a viable reason except they just don’t like him. That is no where near a viable reason.
All these foolish efforts end up backfiring. The stuff they do reminds me of this classic Cartoon. Fits their “cause and effect” history pretty well.
Perhaps one or two 'Rats are gung-ho for impeachment, but north of 90% are, at least in their individual little minds, opposed to it. However, as a nefarious gang, they are all marching towards it.
Fundraising.
Yak... yak... yak... another silly, vague article consisting of old news. Reveal the list of these people.
How many democrats want him impeached ?
Answer: All of them.
There are three-wheeled cars, and vehicles with two or one wheel.
How many Republicans as well?
Oh, I’m sure there are some of those too.
I don’t know any personally, of course they would
rank below democrats as far as I’m concerned.
At the very least, Mitt Romney. But plenty of others too.
So the democRats pull a tiny little car onto the next debate stage, and 20 of them pile out to trash Trump.
I can see that happening...
You asked “For what?”
The article quotes Rep. Salud Carbajal, (D), CA as saying “[Trump] evaded truth, encouraged his staff to lie repeatedly to investigators and engaged in obstruction.”
So, basically, the Dems set up an illegal honeypot scheme by lying to the FISA court to entrap Trump with completely bogus charges of “Russian collusion” (even though collusion is not a crime) and, when Trump says “I’m not guilty and you set up a bogus, illegal entrapment scheme,” they can now scream “Lies! Obstruction! Impeach!”
This is the most odious thing I have ever seen our out-of-control government do.
They are short 19 Mitt Romneys..
I’m not concerned about House Democrats.
I’m concerned about Senate Republicans.
In 2020, President Trump will have a considerable track record of accomplishment greater than most four year presidents to run on. What achievements will congressional democrats have to run on?
Thank you and I agree. Yes, I knew about all that, but now at this point they still got nothing. Whatever they concoct will still have to “wow” the Senate, and that isn’t going to do it and they know it. It’s childish to keep up this charade. They are like 3 year olds crying for a toy they can’t have in the store. lol
Well, maybe not all of them. Some just want to kill him.
