Dems' division over impeachment explodes

The Democrats' division over impeaching President Trump erupted Thursday as the House Judiciary Committee confirmed it is conducting an impeachment inquiry while House Speaker Nancy Pelosi refused to discuss the issue with reporters.

Rep. Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, confirmed that a vote to approve "guidelines" for impeachment hearings means the impeachment process is underway.

"Some call this process an impeachment inquiry. Some call it an impeachment investigation," he said. "There is no legal difference between these terms, and I no longer care to argue about the nomenclature.

"But let me clear up any remaining doubt: The conduct under investigation poses a threat to our democracy. We have an obligation to respond to this threat. And we are doing so."

"The conduct under investigation poses a threat to our democracy." So, there is NO threat since we are NOT a democracy. Now, quit wasting our tax dollars you POS. This 'hole' scenario falls under fraud, waste and abuse.

Dear Patriotic Democrats,
The current candidates for the Democratic Party’s 2020 Presidential nomination are all soft on impeachment. If you want to ensure even post-removal impeachment, you must vote Green in all elections next year.
Thank you.

Has there been even a single bill more impactful than naming a post office passed by this congress? (Not complaining)

A true political mobius strip.

I wish they’d go ahead and vote for it. There’d be two million Trump supporters roaming the halls of congress, many of them armed to the teeth.

They are going to keep this up and cause the government to close down again and then blame President Trump.

I suppose they can do this as long as they are in control and the president is of the other party. But the longer they do it, the dumber they look to everyone other than their blue dogs. And even they are slowly turning neutral or even red.

What a year this will be.

This Democrat, low life, Schiff & Nadler “POTUS, Trump”, impeachment farce is killing the Democrat Party with each passing day politically. Amazing that useless, failed, Democrat Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi is both, leaderless, weak, and helpless with these two nutcase bozos and AOC & her three Radical, Muslim, Musketeer, Females. Go Figure!!! Some leader the Democrats fingered to be the “BOSS” of the House!!!

On the TV show "Arrested Development", the matriarch of the Bluth family (who vaguely reminds me of Nancy Pelosi) would sometimes say (very archly): "I don't understand the question, and I will not respond to it."

FAKE NEWS at its finest!

Making plans doesn't mean ANYTHING, other than making plans! He is trying to walk a thin line (that does NOT exist) to show their base that the Democrats are "doing something" about the "lawbreaking" and "corruption" of the Trump Administration...they just haven't found any lawbreaking or corruption, yet! So, if and when they find something, they will be ready to do something! When they continue to find NOTHING, he will keep promising that they are creating "guidelines!"

this impeachment “Threat” will continue to the degree of the exposure of the coup against a sitting president....

If the Trump administration exposes those all the way up to Obama...it will be Civil War!

FULL EXPOSURE OF THE COUP WILL END THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY AS WE AND THEY KNOW IT!

Having read your post I ask....... how else can Nadler justify his being if he doesn’t continue to advance the lie?

Call them what they are. CONTESTANTS. For one of the best lotteries around. Better than the CONgress critter or senate jobs even and they’re pretty sweet. Too bad some dumbasses haven’t quite gotten the hang of jumpin’ on the gravy train.
