Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends)
“I’m not for impeachment. Impeachment is so divisive to the country that unless there’s something so compelling and overwhelming and bipartisan, I don’t think we should go down that path, because it divides the country. And he’s just not worth it.” – Speaker Nancy Pelosi, in an April interview with the Washington Post.
Oh, why the hell not? – Democrats in the House of Representatives were always bound to try to impeach President Donald Trump sooner or later. They spent 18 months living in a fantasy world in which they’d be going down this road backed up by the findings of the “high crimes and misdemeanors” compiled in a final report by Gestapo Chief…er…”Special Counsel” Robert Mueller and his band of evil Clinton/Obama thugs, but that didn’t work out quite the way they’d hoped.
But Democrats are always determined to self-immolate themselves at the altar of the desires of their most incoherently radicalized members, supporters and the shrews on “The View,” so they’re just ready now to go down this road anyway. Thus, despite San Fran Nan’s protestations against the desires of the mob to try to reverse the results of the 2016 presidential election for no valid reason whatsoever, the mob is most likely going to get its way, and soon.
The President’s refusal to allow half a dozen Democrat-controlled congressional committees to have a do-over of the whole Mueller Witch Hunt will become their rationale for claiming Mr. Trump is “obstructing justice” or something. That, and his refusal to let the likes of Jabba the Nadler and Bug-Eyed Adam Schiff have his last 20 tax returns to use for political exploitation.
Folks, these are not “high crimes.” They aren’t even “misdemeanors.” They are a President of the United States protecting the office of the presidency, which is a very important thing for him to be doing in the face of such congressional corruption and overreach. That is, if we wish to maintain a constitutional Republic form of government, something the Democrats stopped caring about many years ago.
David Cicilline, Chairman of the House something-or-other Committee – they’re all chairmen of something – typifies the Democrat incoherence on the subject. Appearing on Fox News on Tuesday, here is what he had to say:
Cicilline told Fox News there is a “tremendous level of frustration” behind the growing impeachment efforts, adding that he believes Trump is “behaving as though he is above the law and he is not.”
Uh, what law? Cicilline can’t say. Oh. So the plan is to impeach a president because you’re all frustrated? That probably isn’t what our Founders had in mind with this whole “impeachment” thingy.
The Rhode Island Democrat appeared on MSNBC and offered his reaction that the White House is instructing McGahn to refuse to comply with a subpoena to appear on Capitol Hill and the assurance from the Department of Justice that McGahn has “immunity” which does not legally require him to testify before Congress, something Cicilline believed was “legally incorrect.”
Dear Cong. Cicilline: Disagreements over the law should be resolved in the courts, not by throwing tantrums on the floor of the House.
“Let me be clear; if Don McGahn doesn’t testify, it is time to open an impeachment inquiry,” Cicilline said. “The president has engaged in an ongoing effort to impede our ability to find the truth, to collect evidence, to do our work, and this is preventing us really from ultimately finding the facts and doing our work in terms of oversight.
Uh, what oversight work is that, Congressman? Cicilline can’t specify. Oh.
Ok, what about a guy named Mark Pocan, who is Chairman [because of course he is] of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, which means he’s basically a Marxist. Can he be more specific?
Rep. Mark Pocan, a co-chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, said Trump’s “stonewalling” of Congress “only enhances the President’s appearance of guilt,” and “has pushed Congress to a point where we must start an impeachment inquiry.”
“Regrettably, the President’s most recent actions and continued disrespect for the Constitution are forcing us down the road to impeachment,”
Uh, what “disrespect” for which part of the Constitution would that be? Can you be specific? No? Oh.
Ok, please go on.
“The President and his associates are engaging in a campaign of obstruction and lawlessness that undermines the rule of law and does not reflect the actions of someone who is ‘exonerated’ as innocent. Congress has a responsibility to conduct oversight and get the information we need to deliver the truth to the American public regarding Russia’s interference in our elections.”
Oh, so we’re back to the whole “we’re mad ‘cuz the Bad Orange Man won’t let us have our do-over!!!” right? Right.
Please, do take that argument to the American people. It will not end well for you.
But that’s all the children have, and they’re angry, and they aren’t going to bed until they’ve had their do-over. Thus, Mommy Nan announced Tuesday afternoon that she will hold a special “impeachment meeting” of her tantrum-tossing caucus at 9:00 ET today. Oh, to be a fly on the wall…
Interestingly – and this is utterly without precedent and thus worth noting – Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez actually sounded like one of the rare adults in the room in talking about all of this. In a brief interview with Politico, the normally-raging nitwit from the Bronx said “I trust that the speaker is taking a measured approach to ensure that we’re moving everyone forward, I know that being a Speaker is hard – holding this party together is a difficult task, but I think that we know what we need to do. I personally believe…that I think we have to move forward.”

164 11:50 AM - May 21, 2019 81 people are talking about this Twitter Ads info and privacy Man, who wrote that damn-near-sensible statement for her? I mean, you can tell from her body language that she’s reciting a script, but it isn’t her normal incoherent Marxist gibberish. Guess Cenk Uygur must be on vacation.
Dear Democrats: When AOC is suddenly sounding like the calm kid in your playpen, you are well and truly out of control.
Please, don’t stop on my account. Somebody go pop some popcorn…
Donald J. Trump ✔ @realDonaldTrump PRESIDENTIAL HARASSMENT!
That is all.

Hope they do it. Will be major backlash and we’ll get Trump Round 2 and take back the House and Senate.
I’m wondering, impeachment for what specifically?
Democrats are bullies. Democrats are trying to bully Trump. What happened to the nation-wide campaign against bullying?
“Democrats are bullies.”
See my tag line.

The plan is obviously to make silly demands of the president and then accuse him of obstructing when he digs in and refuses. I still haven’t heard of a single act that they believe is an impeachable offense. They speak only in conclusions without facts. Accusations that he’s stonewalling, obstructing, violating the constitution, attacking democracy, etc, do not state a crime.

The Demonicrats are NOT tantrum-tossing brats.
The Demonicrats are lying, murdering traitors.

Hey, here’s an idea....
How about someone that that knows how to do so initiates a class action suit on behalf of the citizens of the United States vs. the Congress of the United States for wastage of tax dollars, ignoring the lawful business of the citizens of the United States, and for harassment and obstruction of the duly elected President of the United States in the legal performance of his duties as the Chief Executive. Furthermore, to cease and desist in harassment that is damaging the Office of the President in the view of the nations enemies.
The Class Action should be specifically directed at members of the Congress, not based on Party, and any money won should be an unlimited amount from the PERSONAL wealth of the congressional members and exclusive of tax dollars.
Any moneys awarded as a result of the Class Action shall be directed to partial payment of the national debt, since the Congress is in large part responsible for the creation of the national debt.
The Class Action should be taken up as a Pro Bono effort by real lawyer(s), many of whom we know are members of Free Republic.
This crap has got to stop. If it can be done, this may help.
Just my $.02.
Go for it, the more attention the loser Dems get the better.
The other aspect of this is thru the Trump Presidency the Congress Critters we do this as a permanent power grab to permanently diminish the power and role of the Office Of the President. A future world is that the President will have to go thru Congress to get anything done. That is a bigger long term problem that hopefully the Courts can stop as we are no longer 3 equal branches of Govt
““The President and his associates are engaging in a campaign of obstruction and lawlessness that undermines the rule of law and does not reflect the actions of someone who is ‘exonerated’ as innocent. “
I thought double jeopardy would apply here. You do not get another bite of the apple. A special counsel said there is no “there” there. End of story. Move on.
Star Chamber
Demonrats impeach in congress. Rethuglicans sit on their hands until replaced by fraud in 2020. New dhim majority removes trump
We MUST quit making the MISTAKE of allowing Democrat politicians to win elections!
A vote for ANY Democrat, whether it be in a local, state or federal election, is a vote against America!
America cannot survive a Democrat victory in 2020!
Power grab? The President has been reshaping the courts for more than re-balancing. He has been honing his katana like a Samurai watching the future battle unfolding in his mind’s eye.
