Rep. Steve Cohen, D-Tennessee, announced Thursday that he plans to introduce articles of impeachment against President Trump.

Cohen cited potential obstruction of justice and violations of the Constitution's Foreign Emoluments Clause as the reasons for impeachment while also addressing his own strong moral opposition to the president's words and actions relating to the violence in Charlottesville, Virginia over the weekend.

By the sounds of it, Cohen already made his Faustian pledge.

If they succeed in removing Trump, I’m never voting again, because it would be quite clear that voting doesn’t mean shit in this country.

Have to get rid of the name, “Democratic Party,” since it promoted slavery.

From Wikipedia...

"Stephen Ira Cohen (born May 24, 1949) is the U.S. Representative for Tennessee's 9th congressional district, serving since 2007. He is a member of the Democratic Party. Tennessee's 9th district includes almost three-fourths of Memphis. Cohen is Tennessee's first Jewish congressman.[1]"

So let’s get this straight threatening impeachment every other week, Russia Russia Russia, he’s a racist and supports KKK (they’ve been saying that since the campaign nothing new there), tearing down monuments, and supporting violence against people practicing free speech. This is the Democrat Party? This is their winning strategy for 2018 and 2020? okay just checking.

WRONG, he’s a MEMPHIS DEM. SAFE SEAT. Spent 20 yrs in the state legislature, then moved to ford jr. seat when he left, been there ever since. A conservative black business owner female has run against him 3 times gets only the white vote. 20%. Memphis is 80% black. Jew, Homo, rich off gov’t and never met a steal your money...taxes or your gun rights law he’s never voted voted for. Makes speeches to an empty house at midnight, never sponsored any meaningful legislation in the years he’s been in DC, just makes a fool out of himself.

I say let them do it... this will be a mistake the DNC will regret for years to come.

Spoke to lots of people here on LI... generally liberal. Most see the President as a victim... this will reinforce such.

Think about it. He condemns ALL hate in Virginia... and said there were good people in the crossfire... and is attacked for doing so... most have no issue with his statements because they believe such as well... Yet he is attacked for it... simply irrational accept to those looking to politically gain from it.

So come on establishment... do it... let America see your true colors...

Corrupt 'elites' want to make the call on who runs the country - and predictably enough they have chosen themselves as the people to do it...

There's no country run by self appointed 'elites' that hasn't devolved into a hellhole. Coups don't work. The justification for this coup is that they are bravely standing up to about 4,000 people in the country stupid enough to be 'nazis or KKK' members - when those groups are TOTALLY POWERLESS IN OUR TIME - IS NUTS.

The time when those groups - nazis and the KKK - were at their most evil was when THEY WERE THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THEIR TIME.

If five people walk up to me and tell me they are Stalinist - I'm NOT going to freak out thinking they're the same as the group that starved over seven million people to death WHEN THEY WERE EVIL AND THEY WERE THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THEIR TIME.

Our liberal establishment is using the mentally ill losers who self identify in our time as KKK and Nazi as an excuse to do evil to our county. Those are the people we must fight... and deciding 'not to vote' is not an option for our side. (that said, I do understand how you feel...)

Our corrupt 'elites' have decided they should make the choice on who runs the country - and predictably enough they have chosen themselves as the people who must take up the mantle.

The justification that they are bravely standing up to about 4,000 people in the country stupid enough to be 'nazis or KKK' members - when those groups are TOTALLY POWERLESS IN OUR TIME - IS NUTS.

Our liberal establishment is using mentally ill losers who self identify in our time as KKK and Nazi as an excuse to do evil to our county. Hitler used Jews to gather the mob to his side... Jim Crow Southerns used Emmitt Til and others like him... and OUR CORRUPT ELITES are using mentally ill idiots self identifiying a hate group members from the past.

Those are the people we must fight... the corrupt elites of our time who are working to take away our freedom to choose our own leaders. "Elites' who are using the same tactics of every other thug group in history...

I don't want mobs taking down statues. I don't want the mob to run anything. I don't want people who work to gin up the mob running the country.
