-Then voted to impeach the guy we elected President
All in less than 48 hours. And you wonder why people can't stand this town.

UPDATE : Following the vote, Nadler vowed to hold an "aggressive" series of hearings investigating corruption and obstruction allegations against President Trump.
ORIGINAL POST
House Judiciary Committee Democrats have passed a resolution to set the ground rules on an impeachment inquiry against President Trump.
"The conduct under investigation poses a threat to our democracy," Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-NY) maintained in his opening statement. "We have an obligation to respond to this threat. And we are doing so."
The vote would, in part, allow Nadler to call impeachment hearings, and allow staff members to question witnesses in those hearings.
A fed up Rep. Doug Collins (R-GA) tried to explain what was really going on.
"The Judiciary Committee has become a giant Instagram filter," he said. "To make it appear that something’s happening that is not."
After 32 months of investigations that have produced no evidence that then-candidate Donald Trump colluded with Russia to win in 2016, still Democrats are pursuing other avenues that could lead to impeachment.
Collins has seen and heard a lot of in the past few years, but he is still shocked by his colleagues' willingness to grant their staffers so much responsibility.
"I’ve never seen a majority of members who desperately want to give their authority to staff members," he noted.
Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) had a similar message. He was frustrated that in the past 48 hours, the committee has voted to strip Americans of their Second Amendment rights, and to try and impeach the duly elected president.

Jordan surmised that the Democrats are "trying to change the rules" because so far they've hit nothing but dead ends.
"The Michael Cohen hearing was a flop," Jordan noted. "The John Dean hearing was a flop. And everyone in the country knows the Bob Mueller hearing...that was a flop."
But, Jordan added, the Democrats won't give up because they've "got to find something" to get this president in trouble.
Media have noted that the impeachment inquiry has sparked confusion among Democrats, many of whom are nervous to vote on such a controversial topic in an election year.
In early August, Nadler publicly declared that his committee had already launched impeachment proceedings despite taking no formal vote to do so. The claim sparked confusion, even among some Democrats, who sought clarification as they faced questions from progressive constituents about the status of the House's effort to recommend Trump's removal from office. ( Politico )
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has attempted to put the brakes on all this impeachment talk, urging her colleagues to focus on other issues.
Nadler A deplorable hanging chad himself.
What a bunch of evil writhing vipers. A pox on all of those traitors to our country.
Exactly!
Nadless is a vindictive incompetent fool.
If I wrote what I really thought about nadler, I’d be banned way past my expected life span...
Has anyone any Democrat, been able to say what specific crime has been committed by Trump?
As I recall from both the Nixon and Clinton impeachment inquiries, each time specific criminal actions were cited, times and people and places involved, etc. Has anyone come up with anything of the sort with Trump? Serious question.
The Waddler is a bitter & angry little man who thinks he’s God.
“The conduct under investigation poses a threat to our democracy,”
We are a republic!
He’s old enough to have pledged allegiance to it every morning in grade school: “I pledge allegiance...and to the republic for which it stands...”.
Nadler is now a domestic enemy, an enemy of our Constitution (which guarantees us a republican form of government). an enemy of our duly elected President, an enemy of we the people.
This has gone beyond the pale.
Several mouthy RATs have said there’s proof of President Trump’s crimes but not one of them have produced anything.
It’s clear idiot Nadless and other RATs are looking for it with these various investigations.
How do we get the message to these idiots that if they persist, they will suffer the consequences. That means not only power, but personal freedom.
Keep your powder dry.
Let’s keep this FReepathon moving and wrap it up, Folks!
Has anyone any Democrat, been able to say what specific crime has been committed by Trump?He beat a Clinton.
Otherwise, everything's just great./s
This is another result of the people voting for a Pelosi-Nadler-AOC-Omar House majority last year. Yeah, I agree, illegals and cemetery dwelling voters and vote harvesting did some of that in the election.
Still, a LOT of bad Americans all over the country. They would sell out our republic for higher welfare payments and a totally free unlimited health plan deal for themselves (they think!) paid for by "somebody" else. Patriots and defenders in the armed services paid dearly for this country free and we can't let the UnAmerican,weakling, selfish Dems end this nation.
correction-— ...”to stay free...”
You've provided the answer to the question, "What's the difference between God and Nadler?"
Amen, well said!
Do democrats intend to vote for the republican candidate of choice? Will democrat candidates get any votes at all?
This is the beginning of the DNC sh*t show in the 2020 election cycle. “Impeachment” will be the story and banner as long as President Trump is President. Unfortunately, there are weak minded people who will swallow this swamp water because they were told it was wine.
Maxine Waters would say I just don't like the dude. Peach him.
They get away with making it all up as they go along. Still haven't finished deleting the lines about "and his proven collusion with Russia...." from the old bogus charges.as
But as others have said here: Congress doesn't need to have a prior list. They can state the high crimes and misdemeanors as they formulate the impeachment. No existing list needed in the Constitution such as "a profit gleaned from a traitorous commercial transaction with a stated enemy of this nation" or something.
