The Congressional Black Caucus, a formidable bloc of lawmakers with a big say in the fate of President Donald Trump and his legislation, Monday sent him a terse, clear message: We don't think you understand us at all.
The caucus' chairman Monday urged cancellation of next month's highly anticipated meeting between White House officials and leaders of the nation's historically black colleges. And he plans to have the 49-member caucus meet when Congress returns in two weeks to discuss whether to back Democratic-led efforts to impeach Trump.
Rep. Cedric Richmond, D-La., the caucus chairman, said the president's remarks after the deadly Aug. 12 protest in Charlottesville show he has no commitment to the schools or the African American community.
Richmond said the caucus was outraged by Trump's assertion of "blame on both sides" for the violent rally dominated by neo-Nazis and white supremacists.
"You can make an argument based on pure competency and fitness to serve, and that's the conversation the caucus will have," Richmond told reporters in a conference call Monday. The caucus includes 46 House Democrats, Democratic Sens. Kamala Harris of California and Sen. Cory Booker of New Jersey, and Republican Rep. Mia Love of Utah.
"Am I concerned about high crimes and misdemeanors?" Richmond asked. "Absolutely. Am I concerned about this president's fitness to serve? Absolutely."
Republicans control 52 of the Senate's 100 seats, and 240 of the House's 435 seats, and there's been no GOP talk of impeachment.
Trump has received heavy criticism both inside and outside of government for not forcefully condemning neo-Nazis and white supremacists in the immediate aftermath of the violence in Charlottesville.....

And the high crimes and misdemeanors are_____? You don’t like him? You don’t like his tweets? You don’t agree with his policies? He colluded with Russia? He is a racist? You don’t like his hair? He didn’t share his tax returns for you to pore over?
It’s difficult to understand emotional thinking with those who are concerned with Guam capsizing.
Because their Antifa bosses are laying low for now?
Formally recognize AntiFa as a terrorist organization

“224,953 signed”
They are still upset over the Ben Carson incident.
Impeach because he’s White ?
Where’s the White Caucus?
The Impeach thing was once a month , so it’ll be once a week now ,LOL
If Guam goes turtle up...what direction will the sun rise...on the island?
"Caca is Mexican for "poop". Are you calling members of the Honorable Black Caucus "poop"?
What about the American people who have had it with the Black Caucus and the rest of the bottom feeders in Congress?
Yeah — Why didn’t the White Caucus say anything??
Oh ——— wait ———
Why is there still a “black caucus?” If everyone is supposed to be inclusive, why is there a caucus based on skin color? Isn’t that racist and discriminatory?
They probably have conference calls on their Obama-phones.
I am not too worried about that. Remember, these are the folks who were afraid if too many people went to one side of Guam, it would capsize, confused China with Korea, and thought Putin was about to invade Korea. A bigger pile of idiots one can hardly imagine. I’m surprised they can spell “impeachment”. Before Soros undoubtedly sweetened the pot about it, I’m quite sure most of them thought “impeachment” meant garnishing a dessert with a beautiful deep yellow fruit.
A “formidable bloc” of black what? They certainly are not “lawmakers”. Lawbreakers - perhaps. Ignorant asswipes - certainly.
These people are flipping pathetic. This will be par for the course for any white male that occupies the WH from here on out.
If I had a magic lamp and three wishes, I would ask for a time machine, a V-class sub and unlimited deck gun shells...
CBC articles of impeachment:
Article 1: You do not understand us at all.
Article 2: You have no commitment to the AA schools.
Article 3: You have no commitment to the AA community.
Article 4: You blamed “both sides” for the violent rally.
If those don’t rise to the standard of “High Crimes and Misdemeanors,” then what possibly could?
Why isn;t there a white caucus.
