You will not enjoy the upcoming Civil War if you try to impeach our President. Your side got their butts kicked in the last one. This is one you don't even want to think about!

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told California Democrats that Congress would continue aggressive investigations into President Trump and the Trump administration, stopping short of calling for the beginning of an impeachment inquiry.
Addressing the California Democratic Party's annual convention in her home district, Pelosi cited former special counsel Robert Mueller's report into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.
"In his report, special counsel Mueller warned us in the starkest terms that there was an attack on our election and an attack on our democracy," Pelosi said. "Why won't the president defend us from this attack?"
"What is the president covering up?" she asked. "We must investigate the president's welcoming of the assault on our democracy.
A single protester shouting "Impeach!" soon became a few, then a few dozen and then perhaps a hundred as Pelosi seemed to hint at a future inquiry.
"This isn't about politics, it isn't about partisanship, Democrats versus Republicans, no. It's about patriotism, it's about the sanctity of the constitution and it's about the future of our nation. We will go where the facts lead us. We will insist on the truth. We will build an ironclad case to act," Pelosi said.
"President Trump will be held accountable for his actions. In the Congress, in the courts, and in the court of public opinion, we will defend our democracy," she added.
Pelosi and House Democratic leadership have played down talk of impeachment, even as a growing portion of the House Democratic Caucus calls for an inquiry. Pelosi told late-night host Jimmy Kimmel on Thursday that the party had to be prepared to build a case.
"We have a defiance of the Constitution of the United States, and so when we go down this path, we have to be ready, and it has to be clear to the American people, and we have to hope that it’ll be clear to the Republicans in the United States Senate," she said Thursday, comments she echoed Saturday.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.), who would chair impeachment hearings, said Friday he was conscious of the need to build public support for impeachment.
"Impeachment is a political act, and you cannot impeach a president if the American people will not support it," Nadler told WNYC. "The American people right now do not support it because they do not know the story. They don’t know the facts. We have to get the facts out. We have to hold a series of hearings, we have to hold the investigations."
Fifty House Democrats have called for opening an impeachment inquiry. Rep. Justin Amash (R-Mich.) is the only Republican who has called for impeachment.
You will not enjoy the upcoming Civil War if you try to impeach our President. Your side got their butts kicked in the last one. This is one you don't even want to think about!
Nancy the President wants you to do it so that you can STFU and get back to work you guys have wasted enough time playing games with our institutions and with the Media. Your Ironclad case has holes that will never be filled because Democrats are the Coyote chasing the Roadrunner. Nothing works for you except to delay so you can continue the rhetoric the country is tired of.
Shuddup, Nancy!
I was president then, ya bimbo!
She only started becoming vocal again when AOC practically stole the spotlight from her. Now she’s back without her sidekick Schumer who is in the dog house for being such a bore.
Ironclads can be torpedoed.
She is so far gone now that almost every sentence is a projection of her own faults. And it looks like she can project all night long.
Just more of "famous last words" from Pelosi.
If you recall in 2016 she also said: "Donald Trump will NOT be elected President!"
Eventually Democrats will have to come back to reality and deal with real world issues not junk science, fake news and rhetorical discourse otherwise they will never recover.
And they still can’t name one thing that they can impeach Trump for.
Dems need to $hit of get off the pot.
What a nutjob she and the others are. They are grasping at straws to see which sticks the most and run from there.
*What does she expect to find that the Mueller team couldn’t find?*
Good point - also, Mueller and the cabal chose the ‘Russian collusion’ angle only because they were confident that particular deck was stacked heavily in their favor! [Steele dossier]
Prosecuting, convicting, and sentencing these cretins is about patriotism, the sanctity of the constitution, and the future of our nation!
Nancybitch always gets everything ass backwards, doesn’t she?
Mark Levin advocates we dig Pelosi’s dirt. Make that ironclad.
Says the woman who believes America's form of government is a democracy instead of a Constitutional Republic.
You can't have both. It's one or the other.
It's time to choose, America.
Rule of law or mob rule?
It’s about patriotism, it’s about the sanctity of the constitution and it’s about the future of our nation.
When any of these scumbags bring this up it makes me mad as hell. They only fool the idiots that follow them, I would like to be the first to tarr and feather her
Hopefully , they are approaching dissolution . The traitors and seditionists need CRUSHED . ..show no quarter .
Let me guess. Impeachment vote will happen right before 2020 elections.
The RATs are so predictable.
“In his report, special counsel Mueller warned us in the starkest terms that there was an attack on our election and an attack on our democracy,” Pelosi said. “Why won’t the president defend us from this attack?”
You’re referring to President Obama, right Nanc? The guy didn’t do jack to defend American interests for 8 years.
That old devil time is catching up on San Fran Nan. In a year she’ll be 80. That will make her fifty years older than AOC. She’ll be gone sooner than later. And Hell will be coming behind her. There’s every chance that loud mouthed ditz from NYC could end up as Speaker.
We may be beyond that point. How can they be trusted now about anything ? A few could probably be cured by an exorcism though, I suspect. Lol.
