Democrats have finally admitted the genius of our founding fathers, a big break from their usual descriptions of them as white supremacists. In a new report , titled Constitutional Grounds for Presidential Impeachment, released Saturday, the majority staff on the House Judiciary Committee has attempted to expand the definition of what constitutes an impeachable offense so that seemingly any president throughout America's history would now be subject to impeachment.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler felt the need to write a forward attempting to explain why such a report is needed in the first place. While Nadler admits that other reports have already been produced, he quickly adds that recently, "however, legal scholars and historians have undertaken a substantial study of the subject," and while the "earlier reports remain useful points of reference," they "no longer reflect the best available learning on questions relating to presidential impeachment. Further, they do not address several issues of constitutional law with particular relevance to the ongoing impeachment inquiry respecting President Donald J. Trump."
In other words, what the founders and everyone else previously thought constituted an impeachable offense was a good start, but Democrats are going to take it a bit further. "There are at least as many ways to abuse power as there are powers vested in the President," the report declares. "It would be an exercise in futility to attempt a list of every abuse of power constituting high Crimes and Misdemeanors.” This is an admission that the Democrats can't specify exactly what the president did that was impeachable.
"The Framers were careful students of history and knew that threats to democracy can take many forms," the report warns. "They feared would-be monarchs, but also warned against fake populists, charismatic demagogues, and corrupt kleptocrats." Why bring Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren into this?
The report further notes the "Framers celebrated civic virtue and love of country; they wrote rules to ensure officials would not use public power for private gain." Like when a Ukranian energy company pays the son of the vice president's $50,000 to buy influence from his father?
After pretending to care about Democracy, the report then concludes that Americans simply cannot be trusted to take action in the next election. "No President is entitled to persist in office after committing 'high Crimes and Misdemeanors,' and no one who voted for him in the last election is entitled to expect he will do so. Where the President's misconduct is aimed at corrupting elections, relying on elections to solve the problem is no safeguard at all."
So this new report is just the Democrats' latest attempt to overturn the will of the American people in the 2016 election. When Democrats start wrapping themselves in the flag and start pretending to acknowledge the genius of our founding fathers, you can be sure the Democrats are planning to do something very unAmerican.
Note to Deep State: Inflicting butthurt is NOT an impeachable offense.
So, their BIG news is......
An essay on what impeachment is.
Wow.
Democrats don’t want us to vote for Trump again! How totalitarian of them.
We should include constipational grounds, as well.
They needed to spend 55 pages berating us for voting for Trump and in nullifying our votes, they’ll ensure we can’t put the reprobate in office for a second term.
Now they all they to do is convince the Senate to buy it.

I agree, that’s the look Nadless has most of the time. :^)
The report is a mile wide and an inch deep.
They don’t hate Trump; he’s only in the way. Its us they’re really after.
When pelousey invokes her religious piety on us and her patriotism and the rule of law in a democracy makes me sick to my stomach. None of these idiot toilet cleaners can even change the founding fathers bed pans

The next time we’re in charge of the HoR, we should initiate impeachment votes on EVERY democrat president since Eisenhower. I’m sure we can come up with some valid charges.
It’s never too late for a bit of righteous retribution
I’m praying for the devil to claim Jerry on live TV.
Heart attack or aneurysm. I’m not picky.

My kind of person!
I know that they will get their due in time, but I can’t help wishing for sooner than later. Is that unChristian of me? Yep, I admit it. I have asked for forgiveness, but I am just not that strong because I think the same thing every time one of them opens their traps.
“the report then concludes that Americans simply cannot be trusted to take action in the next election.”
So...they admit they are above the law and will overturn ANY election they see as a confrontation to them.
Whats this called again?
Excellent article!
Thanks so much for posting it!
Great read for someone who is among those in the “BOD” (basket of deplorables)!
How many pages are of zzzz’s from when Nadless fell asleep?
Nadler: “The Framers were careful students of history and knew that threats to democracy can take many forms...”
Congressman Nadler completely exposes his non-understating of our American government in that single statement. He is therefore unfit to serve us.
Our Founders knew democracy was a threat. In our Constitution they guarantee us, all our states, a “republican form of government”.q
Any and every politician that calls us democracy is unfit to serve.
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
I don’t believe many D’rats can say that pledge and mean it.
