House Democratic leaders are eyeing a fast-paced investigation into the possible impeachment of President Trump, instructing the committees handling the probe to wrap up their findings within weeks in hopes of concluding before the holiday season.

Some Democratic lawmakers and aides said Thursday, speaking on the condition of anonymity to describe private deliberations, that they believed impeachment articles could be ready for a House vote around Thanksgiving.

Why wait for Thanksgiving?
Just have a vote Nancy.
And force your moderates
to follow you over the cliff.

Doesn’t matter. They are creating the narrative for 2020. If Republicans in Senate ‘obstruct’ their impeachment, then narrative veers to ‘why a democrat senate is needed’.

It’s crazy but crazy doesn’t stop them, crazy works for them.

So let me get this straight. Your target is one of the richest, and the most powerful men in the world. And his supporters are all heavily armed Deplorables.

And your plan is to impeach this person, right before a Holiday where you have to go face the voters?

Anyone ever look at that app called Tik Tok? It’s this app that a lot of teens and young adults in their early 20s use that plays short videos made by them. What surprised me is how many PRO-Trump videos are on that thing and very little if any negative videos.

I think Democrats are in huge trouble. A lot of blacks and Hispanics are now supporting Trump and the young adults are coming around as well. Democrats are really creating a bad image for themselves with all this whining and I would LOVE to see that party get utterly obliterated in 2020 and I think it just may happen.

“Because otherwise this is just a meaningless exercise in Kabuki theatre.”

It is not meaningless to become the 3rd President in history to be impeached and join Johnson and slick willy in the history books. Whether he is removed is secondary to them.

They know he wont be removed, it’s about damaging him just before the election.


Correct. Th Dems intend to cause chaos, make POUTUS a pinata and use their useful idiots in the GOP like Romney to depress GOP voter turnout.

I'm getting on board with this theory.
This is a suicide mission meant to put the President in a position where he will be blocked from appointing a replacement due to the proceedings. They will fail miserably.

There needs to be an investigation to determine if anyone in the democrat party has ties to America

The charge is that he made a phone call to the president of Ukraine. That is the impeachable offense .

I can’t believe they are all in, with a phone call as their evidence of high crimes and misdemeanors. But that’s where they are. This is the hill they want to die on, a phone call.

I imagine that EVERY Republican from now on will be impeached for some trifle.

I can believe it. The Dems have top cover from the Senate GOP on this. POTUS is riding solo.

“I imagine that EVERY Republican from now on will be impeached for some trifle.”

Given the demographics, illegals, MSM/educational system indoctrination and unchecked fraud — it is very possible that there won’t be any more Republican presidents. Trump may be the last one. We must fight this to our dying breath.

Are they going to kill off 20 Republicans in the Senate and replace them with Democrats?

Please let us not give rabid, irrational haters of our President and conservatives any ideas. Scalise and others will thank us.

Weld is as big an enabler now as H. Rap Brown who was jailed for inciting later murders by black extremists after a speech.

Will any Republicans in the Senate agree with the reasoning, that a president subject to impeachment can’t nominate a Supreme Court Justice?

The business of Congress and the presidency go on, even if there is an impeachment effort or actual impeachment.

And now that there is no filibuster for Supreme Court nominees any longer, the Democrats cannot block a confirmation if a Supreme Court vacancy occurs.

They can bitch about it and infest CNN and MSNBC with their bleatings, but won’t be able to stop it , if Republicans hold together.

So they want Pence to pick the replacement?

They must feel that they can get rid of Pence without too much effort.
