I think the censure is in the top desk drawer...

WASHINGTON House Democrats are introducing a formal resolution to denounce President Donald Trump for saying that “both sides” are to blame for a violent encounter between white supremacists and neo-Nazis and the activists who showed up to protest them.
While the censure is unlikely to see traction in the GOP-led House, it serves as a rebuke to Trump and mirrors some of the Republican criticism the president has faced for his remarks.
“A president of the United States cannot support neo-Nazis. It’s just beyond the pale,” said Rep. Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., a member of the House Judiciary Committee. “I hope Republicans who have expressed outrage with what he said put their money where their mouth is.”
Just three Democrats have signed onto the measure, but Nadler says he expects more to follow.
With this tactic, Democrats are taking a page from Republicans who frequently filed censure resolutions against President Barack Obama and members of his administration. Most died on the vine, but the Republican-controlled House of Representatives in 2012 voted to censure then-Attorney General Eric Holder for his role in the botched Fast and Furious gun-running operation into Mexico.
A number of lawmakers also introduced censures against Bill Clinton over his affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky and resolutions were filed against George W. Bush for authorizing a no-warrant domestic surveillance program.
One president was formally censured: President Andrew Jackson in 1834 was admonished by the Senate for refusing to turn over documents that lawmakers had requested.

If anyone thinks that this or anything else will convince Trump to resign (there are no grounds for impeachment or removal), they should think again. He is not a quitter!

THIS is the most absurd post in a LONG TIME :)
This time it’S REALLY REALLY it!!!
What’s this guy smoking lol?
Also, notice the cases building against the DNC Hillary Bill Obammy etc. What a convenient thing to distract. Oh, and Fat boy in NK has backed down. Trump poked a hole in him for now.
Agreed. It took courage though for him to tell the truth.
Imagine, it takes courage now to tell the truth.
Apparently, the emperor has LOTS of clothes on :)
What an awful analogy :)
And this President didn't support them. He neither said he supported them nor said anything that could even be interpreted as saying that he did. What's beyond the pale is lying like this.
Didn't even know Nadler was still in Congress...he used to be front and center and this is the first story I've seen featuring him in years. Just as nasty and vicious as ever.

Let’s just dynamite the Washington monument and Jefferson memorial and get it all over with - sarcasm tag
I’m not sure how to post a pic on here, but this should be shared far and wide.
I heard that the Congressional Black Caucus is threatening to release an Access Hollywood tape of Trump being urinated on by neo-nazis? John McCain and Marco Rubio have both verified its existence.
Right. Who care what the crazy party does.

Time Trump denounces the GOP and start his own party...
It won’t do anything to President Trump. This is purely symbolic. Who cares what the corrupt and evil democrat party wants to do.
I think I’d be good with that. Sick and tired of jelly-spined RINOs!
F-IN IDIOTS.
It was both sides for crying out loud, why is it the left cannot admit they have the American Taliban right now.
