IMPEACHMENT MADNESS: Democrats Prove They Have No Real Interest in Governing

Nancy Pelosi was recently asked by USA Today’s Susan Page if the Democrats would impeach President Trump a third time if they capture a majority in the House next year. Her answer was predictably coy: “The person most responsible for impeaching President Trump when I was speaker was President Trump.” When Page pressed Pelosi on whether she believed impeachment should be on her party’s agenda, she said, “No, there has to be cause. There has to be reason.” This is very similar to the way she tiptoed around the “I” word during the run-up to the 2018 midterms, knowing full well that it was part of the Democrat plan all along.

This time, Pelosi’s evasive answers are unlikely to fool anyone. To begin with, her claim that “there has to be cause” is belied by the flimsy pretexts the Democrats used to impeach President Trump twice during his first term. Indeed, the second impeachment was so absurd that Chief Justice John Roberts refused to preside over the Senate trial.

Moreover, it is manifestly obvious that the Democrats still suffer from impeachment fever. Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) has already introduced articles of impeachment against President Trump twice during the first year of his second term, and 140 Democrats voted in favor of impeachment only one week ago.

Three members of Trump’s Cabinet have also been threatened with impeachment. Rep. Delia Ramirez (D-IL) has requested that the House Judiciary Committee conduct an investigation into DHS Secretary Kristi Noem’s “unlawful and potentially impeachable actions.” In a letter to committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) and Ranking Member Jamie Raskin (D-MD), Ramirez accuses Noem of committing all manner of vaguely defined crimes based on hopelessly tendentious “news” reports from outlets such as ProPublica, PBS affiliate WTTW, The New York Times, ad infinitum. Here is the opening paragraph of her letter:

Under Secretary Kristi Noem’s leadership, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has done irreversible harm to our constituents, trampling the rights of all people and disregarding the rule of law. Secretary Noem has established a clear pattern of lawless behavior, mirrored in the behavior of rank and file members of her leadership team. She disregards the separation of powers, breaks the law, violates the standards of ethical behavior set for those in public office, and misuses resources appropriated by Congress. When taken together, her actions violate her oath of office. Meanwhile, Rep. Shri Thanedar (D-MI) has introduced articles of impeachment against Secretary of War Pete Hegseth based on two charges: “Murder and Conspiracy to Murder” and “Reckless and Unlawful Mishandling of Classified Information.” The first charge involves the much-discussed drug boat drone strike in which Hegseth allegedly ordered a “double tap” for the sole purpose of killing two survivors of the initial attack. The second charge is related to the tired “Signalgate” pseudo-scandal.

As is typically the case with Democrat impeachment efforts, the witch hunt against Hegseth has more to do with politics than any actual crimes. It is no coincidence that Thanedar is facing primary challenges in 2026 for his House seat and is desperate to bolster his progressive bona fides.

This is also the likely motivation for the articles of impeachment introduced by Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI), accusing HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. of “abuse of authority and undermining of the public health.” Stevens is running against two other Democrats to succeed U.S. Sen. Gary Peters (D), who is retiring at the end of 2026.

The charges Stevens has leveled against Kennedy include “abdication of duty by cutting funding for lifesaving research,” “severely restricting access to vaccines, spreading absurd conspiracies, and putting lives in danger,” and “failure to carry out his statutory duties in administering the FDA and CDC.” Specifically, Stevens alleges:

Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has turned his back on science … Under his watch, families are less safe and less healthy, people are paying more for care, lifesaving research has been gutted, and vaccines have been restricted. He has driven up health care costs while tearing down the scientific institutions that keep Michiganders and families across America safe. His actions are reckless, his leadership is harmful, and his tenure has become a direct threat to our nation’s health and security. Congress cannot and will not stand by while one man dismantles decades of medical progress. In total, that’s five separate impeachment resolutions introduced during the first 11 months of the second Trump administration.

We are told that Democrats’ congressional leadership is not enthusiastic about impeaching the President or members of his Cabinet, but if you listen carefully to them, what they are really saying is that everyone should be patient until they win back the House. Consider what House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) said when asked about impeaching Hegseth: “Republicans will never allow articles of impeachment to be brought to the floor of the House of Representatives.”

In other words, “just wait until we get back in charge – then, it’s game on.”

Nor did Jeffries vote to table the latest impeachment resolution against Trump introduced by Rep. Green. He was among 47 Democrats who voted “present.” Nancy Pelosi’s claim that “The person most responsible for impeaching President Trump when I was speaker was President Trump” is nonsense. The event that guaranteed Trump’s first and second impeachments was the 2018 midterm election in which the Democrats “harvested” a majority in the House. On December 18, 2019, less than a year after they were sworn in, they impeached him.

If the Democrats cobble together a majority in 2026, impeachment number three is as inevitable as Greek tragedy. For all their recent posturing about “affordability” and skyrocketing healthcare premiums (two problems they created, for the record), the only concrete plans they appear to have are doomed impeachment schemes that will only succeed at giving liberal talking heads something to preen about on cable news.

The good news is that the irresponsible impeachment resolutions discussed above may scare the horses. The President and the Republicans must remind the country during the run-up to the midterms that the Democrats have never accepted the will of the voters where Trump is concerned. They talk a lot about “democracy,” but they don’t believe in it.

140 Democrats voted in favor of impeachment only one week ago.

DemocRAT voters are not even embarrassed that they voted for these 'RATs.

[DownInFlames]

There was no cause the first time they impeached Trump. If anyone should be impeached post-presidency it is Clinton.

Impeachment on day one of Speaker Hakeem’s house. Supreme Court packing on day two. Do not let them back in! End the filibuster now so we can get things done before they do.

Democrats would rather rule over ashes than a functioning Republic
