Trump, Kavanaugh impeachment speculation kicks up after Dems’ House takeover

With Democrats set to reclaim control of the House in January and President Trump already infuriating them with the forced resignation of Attorney General Jeff Sessions, speculation is rampant over whether they will use that power to pursue impeachment against the president -- or even Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, who wants to be speaker, has pushed back on pressure from the base to pursue impeachment, saying earlier this week "that's not what our caucus is about" even as Democratic lawmakers make clear they will pursue other investigations of the administration.

But that pressure from the left to wield the House majority to go after Trump has not gone away.

Billionaire Tom Steyer, who has floated the possibility of a 2020 presidential run and pumped millions into supporting Democratic congressional candidates, told CNN on Wednesday that House Democrats must confront what he called a “lawless” president.

He renewed his call for impeachment proceedings. Steyer months ago launched the “NeedtoImpeach.com” website and is one of the most prominent liberal advocates for ousting Trump....

Would love to see Trump on floor answering questions. Better than wrestling. But bad use of time and money.

We have very scary terrorism problems, epidemics being spread by diseased illegal criminal invaders, the threat of an impending illegal criminal invader invasion, infrastructure deficiencies, failing schools-—and IMPEACHMENT of a fine president who is doing good for our country is the FIRST thing on dummocraps’ agenda. THIS alone should tell you everything you need to know about what the dummocrap party is all about these days. It takes a special kind of stupid to have voted for any dummocrap in this recent election, but unfortunately, we have plenty of them.

Please, please, please let them be that stupid!

In fact, they should start bringing impeachment procedures against “unnamed replacement for Justice not yet named” as starting now would be far more efficient than waiting.

There is no viable basis for even talk of impeachment for either Trump or Kavanaugh, other than “We don’t like either of them”, but this is not, in and of itself, grounds for impeachment, in any way, shape, manner or form.

And there is zero, zilch, nada, no chance this would lead to removal from office in any case, should it reach the Senate.

Impeach away, suckers. You saw how well this worked against Slick in 1998 and 1999.

What you say is true ... the Democrat/Left's dilemma is that they need to give their emotionally irrational base something -- anything -- for turning out and for giving the Democrat/Left control of the House ... especially with the increasing likelihood that President Trump and the Senate will confirm at least one -- maybe two -- strict Constitutionalists to the USSC.

But what can they do? Nothing, really ... and they know that if they do what they've promised their crazy base they will do, President Trump will strike back hard ... and fast ... and relentlessy ... and with far more effectiveness then even the Democrat/Left can imagine!

Hell even the GOP didn’t get much out of it in the 90s, and they had a legit case.

Apparently increasing by the minute.

Let them try. Then watch them get BTFO in the House in 2020 just like they did in the Senate two days ago...

Democrat tone deafness and ideological blindness is the gift that keeps on giving. They simply can’t stop themselves because they’ve turned Leftism into a religion.
