Full House Vote Expected Next Week – Dems Claim They Don’t Plan to Whip Impeachment Votes as Group of Vulnerable Dems Spooked, Float Censure Instead

However, not all Democrats are on board with impeachment which can pose a huge problem.

A group of rogue, vulnerable Democrats are spooked and floating censuring President Trump instead of impeaching him, Politico reported on Monday.

But the Dem leadership is claiming they won’t be using any tools such as pressure or coercion to “whip the votes” to make sure the entire Democrat Caucus is on board with impeachment?

The evil bastards have put themselves in a bad spot. It’s a lose-lose situation for them.

They have plenty of votes to spare. The dems seem to be running ahead of schedule.

Apparently GP has not figured out Dems are flagernt, habitual, shameless liars.

If they aren’t whipping, it’s because they’ve got the votes.

If this ends up in a censure, we’re looking at months of rabid leftists hanging out in Dem Rep offices.

IT DOESN’T MATTER... Pelosi can dole out some NAY votes to these guys.. but they are done.. they were done they day they voted to move this investigation forward... how they actually vote on the actual articles is irrelevant.

Trump will handily get 40 or more states next fall, the GOP will handily retake the house, and almost certainly extend their lead in the Senate.

“The evil bastards have put themselves in a bad spot.”

Followed the commie musies and Pelosi down a rabbit hole and have encountered a pi$$ed off badger.

A free vote. The whips won’t be on hand so members can vote their conscience.

I expect it to pass. Leadership wouldn’t be pushing it if they didn’t have the votes.

Democrats have the votes.

The articles of impeachment read like articles of censure. You don’t impeach a president for resisting Congressional subpoenas.

Impeach him.

Do it.

Now.

Trump will wear it as a medal of swamp draining honor on his way to re-election.

Also, someone check me on this, but I don’t believe Congress can censure the Executive Branch.

Love the back pedaling. Let’s just send him a strongly worded letter to not do those vague, undefined things we don’t like, that we aren’t even sure he actually did. Yeah, that’s showing some spine. /s

That was my thought as well.

In the eyes of Joe America there really isn’t any difference between impeachment and censure. They are both seen as an unjustified attack on the greatest president that America has ever had. Democrats, black and white, with larger paychecks and smaller taxes will always be on the side of the hand that feeds them.

AG Barr gave an interview to nbc today. I caught a minute of msnbc afterwards. They are going full retard against Barr. He must have hit a tender spot.
