Dems launch ‘no confidence’ resolution against Trump (La Resistance .... LOL)
The Hill ^ | July 19, 2017 | Mike Lillis

A group of liberal House Democrats stepped up criticism of President Trump on Wednesday, introducing a “no confidence” resolution that officially questions Trump’s fitness to serve as commander in chief.

It logs a laundry list of controversies swirling around the president — including his campaign’s many contacts with Russian officials, his refusal to release his taxes, his verbal attacks on women and the press, and his firing of FBI Director James Comey.

Sponsored by Rep. Steve Cohen (D-Tenn.), the resolution has been endorsed by 23 more Democrats, including Reps. John Lewis (Ga.), a civil rights icon; John Yarmuth (Ky.), ranking member of the Budget Committee; David Cicilline (R.I.), who leads the Democrats’ policy and communications arm; and Judy Chu (Calif.), who heads the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus.....

The DNC ran perhaps the worst possible candidate in America...
and now the D’s in congress are refusing to do the jobs we pay them to do, preferring to “resist” the candidate we elected

the D party membership needs to Drain the D-party machine bosses Swamp

All of which are completely legal and make perfect sense to every normal person.

At what point did the Democrats trick themselves into thinking this was a parliamentary system?

Yes, wouldn’t the Dims love it if we had a parliamentary system with a unicameral legislature, the “prime minister” chosen by parliament and “no confidence” votes having some real meaning. But I digress, in our system the “non confidence” vote is just a stunt.

Can you just imagine the media, if the tables were turned, and the GOP majorities in the house issued many “non confidence” votes against Obama over his legal and Constitutional transgressions? And what is the hypocrite media saying as the Dims do it now?

That laundry list of complaints deserves it's own trademarked/copyrighted laugh track.

Trump should fire back that he would prefer a solution to the obamacare trainwreck. This is a good opportunity to point out that these democrats aren’t doing anything to help the American people.

We are not a parliamentary republic.

As such, it's nothing more than a political publicity stunt.

And that Lieu guy is no doubt one of them. Probably Mad Maxine also. Media doesn’t give the opposition the time of day when Dems are in power. But this is deemed news.

The Hill is to today what The Nation was in my day. The most leftist of the leftists.
