Rep. Tlaib was handed the microphone at a celebration about the Democrats taking over the House at a reception thrown by the leftist group MoveOn.org. Long-term political junkies will recall that MoveOn.org was created to stop the impeachment of William Jefferson Clinton. The group urged that the country should “move on” from Bill and Hillary Clinton’s dozens of felonies in the 1990s (like selling nuclear missile guidance technology to China in return for millions of dollars of illegal foreign campaign contributions) and focus on the nation’s important issues. Al Gore famously held a fund-raiser at a temple for monks sworn to poverty, clearly strawmen for money illegally donated from China. MoveOn.org argued that we should focus on the nation’s problems, not the Clintons’ and Al Gore’s crime spree. Yet on Thursday the MoveOn.org crowd roared approval Thursday night for talk of impeaching Trump.

Democrat leaders know better. They know it will be disastrous for their party. They know it will probably cost them the 2020 elections, both presidential and congressional. But the Democrats just can’t help themselves. It will be like daring a teenage boy to jump off the roof into an above-ground swimming pool. The Leftist activists will demand it. And Democrats just really want to down deep.

They can’t escape the fact that Democrats filed for impeachment before any report or results from Special Counsel Robert Mueller. So how credible can their claims be? Sherman and Green first filed their Articles of Impeachment in June 2017.

The grounds for impeachment Sherman and Green argue is that Donald Trump fired former FBI Director James Comey. The evidence keeps growing that Comey deserved to be fired. The only wrong is that Trump did not fire Comey on day one.

“Democrat leaders know better. They know it will be disastrous for their party”

No they don’t. They will impeach. Clinton benefited because the MSM went all out to help him. This time they will do much of the heavy lifting for the Rats. It will be the reverse of what happened to slick willie

“Democrats were just as convinced that Ronald Reagan was an illegitimate President because Reagan stole the 1980 election.”

Any time a Republican becomes President it’s “a stolen election.” In reality, it’s more like a miracle that a Republican has been able to overcome the DemoRAT election theft machine and win! Every so often, a man like a Reagan or a Trump comes along and the RAT vote stealing/ballot box stuffing/ vote harvesting isn’t enough to win. And don’t get me going on the gerrymandering they engage in to keep control of the House. If you doubt that assertion, go look at the districting map of Cook County, Illinois.

With their elections and their language and attitudes, the democrats are showing the American people (the REAL American people) just what they are...

I, for the life of me, cannot understand why anyone who really loves America could vote for these democrats...

“Games: Now It Begins”

Same game, fear mongering to gather money and votes.

But they are preaching to the same choir.

Few new members unless some law-breaking happened.

If there was any, it would have leaked out by now.

Nothing new here, let ‘em talk. Hopefully this will further sink CNN.

Government shutdown will be nothing compared to the “impeachment” follies soon to come, each Demo-idiot to get up and give an hour or two of a ranting speech saying absolutely nothing.

“...each Demo-idiot to get up and give an hour or two of a ranting speech saying absolutely nothing.”

This is the essence of the “good” in this, so to speak. The American public (the REAL Americans) will see again that the RATS have nothing for the country and its people. Just political horse excrement. Let their hate and rock-throwing show it all. Just weak fodder for the MSM and the fix-needing frothing lefties....

I like the caller on Rush yesterday (Friday) who said PDJT should challenge them to do impeachment now, then, he should bring all the facts about Obama and what laws he broke and what things he should have been impeached on...I think PDJT is keeping his powder dry...time has not yet arrived to release the Kraken.

“time has not yet arrived to release the Kraken.”

I disagree. The time was September. It might have saved the House and we wouldn’t have to deal with all this BS.

My analysis is that Democrats know in their HEADS that impeachment will hurt the Democrat Party.

But in their HEART they just won’t be able to resist.

Insanity is not only alive and well in the Democrat Schumer/Pelosi House & Senate Caucus, but that insanity is so severe, it will certainly politically destroy the Democrat Party over the next two years for sure. There are no leaders in the Democrat Party...not one!!!

There have been no leaders, since Obama became POTUS, just thugs, goons & America Haters!!! After observing the Democrat chaos on Pelosi’s “crowning day” of lunacy...this game is over and POTUS, Donald J. Trump wins, hands down.

If Schumer & Pelosi have any brains at all...which they don’t...they would immediately give POTUS, Trump his requested $5.7 Billion Bucks to go forward and build the Border Wall. If not, bad days are ahead for anyone with a “D” after their name. Fact is: Schumer is a joke, Pelosi is a joke...whoops...the entire Democrat Party is a joke...they are no true adults in the room folks!!!

Unfortunately, the Senate won’t allow that evidence to be introduced

Would be against Scottish Law, or sumthin

I’m really hoping that Trump is waiting for the right moment on a lot of this stuff. This is a man who well-understands dramatic pacing for an audience, as evidenced by the success of The Apprentice.

While nothing Obama did is relevant because it is past tense, I think the lawyers in the Trump camp have been prepping for this and will be ready with demands for discovery of lots of juicy stuff that congressional members and deep state operatives would never want exposed.

That includes establishment republicans who I believe will put heavy pressure on Pelosi to nip this in the bud and kill the motions for impeachment. Especially when they listen to the absolutely stupid arguments given by democrat morons.

My theory is that they are so brain washed that they do what they are told to do. I have friends who like what they see in the 401K, etc. but because of what their party tells them to do they do. It is really sad.
