WASHINGTON—House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said she is directing an impeachment inquiry into President Trump following reports that the president withheld aid to Ukraine while he was pressing the country to investigate Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden and his son.
“Today, I’m announcing the House of Representatives is moving forward with an official impeachment inquiry,” Mrs. Pelosi said in the Capitol, in front of several American flags. “The action taken to date by the president appears to violate the constitution.”...

This is obstruction of justice.
My favorite moment from that was when someone asked him a question about the Muller report, and if it was true. He asked where in the report and they had to scramble to find what page, paragraph, etc. Idiots.
The Democrats are playing a very dangerous game that can easily get away from them. They are much more likely to help President Trump get reelected than to force him from office.
Nutty Nancy is trying to walk the line. She knows impeachment is political idiocy, but she can't blow off the psycho wing of her party. Eventually, she will have to step off the line.
‘With the corrupt Dems, I see no future for this country without a civil war.’
please define what you mean by ‘civil war’ in our modern age...it’s highly unlikely that a bloc of states will vote to secede from the Union and be able to muster a military with which to conduct armed conflict...>>>>
I’ll pipe in my two cents. I think a civil war won’t look like like our last one with states aligning, mostly because the states had similar cultures then due to how they were created. Pennsylvania = Quaker refuge, etc. The next civil war will be areas within states. Metro verses rural. Some areas will be restored more quickly like Texas and the purge of Austin. Pennsylvania would take longer to purge Philly and the suburbs. The rural areas would have to get the military to either stay out or join them. I would prefer the military to stay out. The rural areas would take over transportation. Food, basic services. electric grids could be a problem as the cities would control that. Power plants are basically local. Gasoline is i think mostly Texas now but they refineries would need to be captured. Ports are city but ... it is interesting to ponder. and the organization would not be state related as all governments would be aligned commie. The state national guards would have to be turned as the state fascist governments would most likely try to stop any constitutional organization. There would have to be committees of correspondence created for organization more like the revolutionary war.
Biden benefited politically by not having his son investigated. He should never have had a sniff at a 2020 presidential run.
Take two aspirin and stay up all night...
The rest of the country sees persecution of the president by nitwits who make Wiley Coyote seem successful.
Its time the people take a stand and stand with the president we elected and they must get rid of at any cost. The congressmen and women need to understand that they will be at violent war with the people of the nation and there will be no mercy. This point of the many will seek out and hang these nut bags needs to start seeping into their understanding. This is an act of war by a section of the government against the people. It is tyranny and treachery of the highest level.
Better bring your "A" game Nancy - you try to impeach after a failed coup attempt the normals of this nation are going play for keeps
Covfefe !
too funny
Exactly what it is, an attempted bloodless coup.
Essentially correct, except that a 2/3 vote, not 3/4, is required for conviction.
“what’s that business that the senate also has the option to vote simple majority to prevent trump from runnning again“
I think that’s made up.
Had the Bolshies sent jOkeass and his crew packing, they would have had standing.
It has to get past the Senate too.
The house does not impeach, they recommend impeachment, The Senate is tasked with accepting the issue, forming the rules of a trial, and conducting the trial.
It’s going nowhere and is nothing but a media game. If the Senate Pubs actually take this up they can kiss their future careers as representatives goodbye.
Bank on it...
Yes, there has to be a formal Senate trial. And this is after the rules of the trial are agreed upon before it takes place. He then has to be found guilty before any restrictions are imposed.
You can bet that if the Senate even accepts this fiasco there will be hell to pay.
The House does impeach. The Senate then holds a trial at the end of which it votes on whether to convict, and thereby remove from office, the impeached federal official. It's like a grand jury indicting and later the trial jury deciding whether to find the defendant guilty.
It’s like double secret probation. Or something.
I did hear parts of it. It involves certain structures manned by family members.
It as interesting.
Sometimes I’m listening to Rush and doing other things, so I don’t concentrate on what he was saying.
I should probably go back and listen closely.
