Democratic lawmaker introduces articles of impeachment against Trump
CNN ^ | July 16, 2019 | Jeremy Herb and Ashley Killough

Democratic Rep. Al Green of Texas on Tuesday introduced his articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump, which will force the House to take up the measure later this week.

Green's resolution is unlikely to lead to an actual vote on impeachment in the House, but he can force the chamber to act on it under House rules within two legislative days, creating a dilemma for House Democratic leaders and the moderate Democrats who have largely tried to avoid the issue of impeachment.

While Green said Tuesday that he wants an up-or-down vote on articles of impeachment, the House has several options to dispose of his effort, though they each have drawbacks. The House could vote to table, or kill, the resolution, but that would in effect put lawmakers on the record about impeachment.

I would love to know who is funding them and telling them what to say. I can’t believe they are this smart to be doing by themselves! Someone is coaching them!

Pelosi has no power. It’s all about “Justice Democrats,” actually a separate party but one that the media loves, and neither she nor any of the old line Dems have any control over them.

Also, their hatred of the US is so blatant that they’re going to drive a ton of Latin Americans, either immigrants or descendants, to either not vote at all - the most likely scenario - or vote GOP.

We need to do more outreach among Latin Americans and also among blacks, because a lot of them like Trump and his program but they’re scared to say it. Having worked on several GOP campaigns in Florida, the only complaint I got from people was that the GOP didn’t want to come to their neighborhoods or even do hang cards on the doors there. We need to support Hispanics (who are NOT leftists and do not like illegal immigration and make great citizens) and up and coming American black people, who are being crushed and criticized by the Dems for their ambition.

On what basis?

You can’t impeach someone just because you don’t who won.

But on what grounds????

Gerrymandering Congressional districts along racial lines should be against the law.

Right.

Al Green is an egotistical grandstander and is just trying to parlay his pretty face to greater fame.

Maybe not.

Green was a lot sweeter guy when he used to play the evil villain in a lot of spaghetti westerns back in the 60s and 70s.

Hostile Democrats always escalate their failure.

Nothing burger.

Double down, triple down is still a nothing burger.
