WASHINGTONHouse 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, Im 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....

I knew Nadler had screwed up. And basically told everyone to MYOB.
Absolutely nothing. This is not even legal.
Thats’ what i’m not understanding.
is this like double secret probation?
Basically nonsense?
I THOUGHT there had to be a vote for impeachment in the house.
And now i know that a vote for impeachment doesn’t kick the POTUS out of office
the senate vote can do that right?
“...This is nothing but the attempted overthrow of the U.S. Government and a legally elected President.
Its just about time to start treating traitors to this Republic as they should be...”
As I posted on the other thread:
The old democratic party that we all once knew no longer exists. Its been infiltrated and overrun by communists. We now have the new Communist Party that is hell-bent on destroying our country, our way of life, our culture and our future. Anyone who votes for, supports and/or condones this new Communist Party has, in essence, renounced their U.S. citizenship and they should be dealt with accordingly: deported and/or expelled from the USA never to return under the duress of execution.
A Guide to the Rules, Precedents and Procedures of the House - Chapter 27. Impeachment
Sec. 6 . In General; Initiation and Referral of Charges
Generally
Under the modern practice, an impeachment is normally instituted by the House by the adoption of a resolution calling for a committee investigation of charges against the officer in question. In the 93d Congress, Vice President Agnew used a letter to the Speaker to attempt to initiate an investigation by the House of charges against him of possible impeachable offenses, but the House took no action on the request.
Look at the language of the resolution. Dismiss as smoke'n'mirrors what words the various liars in Congress utter.
Right. Impeachment is a House function. If they have the votes the House can impeach anyone for anything.
I don’t see the Senate convicting Trump over this ridiculous nonsense. So Trump stays in office and hopefully gets reelected.
However I think the dems believe this impeachment will siphon off some votes. Between MSM propaganda, fraud and the so-called impeachment cloud the dems think they can keep Trump from winning. At least I believe that is what they are feeling (not sure one could call it thinking).
Nadler’s been using some made up rhetoric that sounds all official, but in fact isn’t.
Pelosi decided to follow his example.
Worse than even that.
It is a creature begotten of septuagenarian Democrats and their staid narrow-eyed mandarin staffers only a few years younger , who simply deny the fact that LESS THAN HALF of Americans were alive during Watergate. For Clintons impeachment, only 2/3rds.
There is no traction there with the rank-and-file. The rank-and-file are so dazzled by full employment - they simply have tuned out DC.
But.
Biden-Warren was doomed to failure , and so the Democrats have decided to throw the hot dog down the hall.
This will not end as Nixon did, and I fear this will not even end as Clinton did, when he picked up seats after being impeached.
This is going to end in tears. May you live in interesting times.
President Trump is rising in the polls, and rising among key demographics, and rising in key swing States and Districts!
Pull out the stops! Smear him somehow!
Just got a Text from The Trump Reelection Committee and contributed. They are matching the Contributions.
“I told folks a year ago if the ‘Rats gained control of the House, she’d try it. Here we are.”
Yep I have been saying it for years. Not because I am so smart but because it was so obvious what a radical House would do. What else have they got?
Look what was posted under “miscellaneous.” It’s the reason for the Democrats’ current peak in hysteria.

Just another reason to dig deep and send President Trump another financial contribution for his re-election bid.
It’s a head feint, a poser a poorly executed 3 card Monte trick
There is no impeachment proceeding the house must vote on Impeachment
The full house, not 20 rogue idiot’s
This is nothing but barking seals
The Constitution requires a two-thirds super majority to convict a person being impeached.
Is it that you dont know that fundamental Constitutional requirement, or refuse to look it up?
I read here that they just need a simple senate majority to keep him from running again.
Thats not in the Constitution. To be removed from office requires a 2/3 vote in the Senate. While there are enough R traitors that a simple majority is very slimly possible, a 2/3 majority is not possible. That would mean getting every single D senator to vote yes (which is dubious) and flipping 20 of 53 republicans, which is not going to happen.
Looks like the inquiry requires “charges” to start with...not a hunt for charges.
Strange. Me too.
Xi Jinping demands action!
What the hell has he been paying these people for? He wants to see some action...
