Congresscritters actually believe that to merely utter the word “impeachment” is to set off an earthquake under the White House.

Kind of like their saying “Repeal the Second Amendment!” and gun owners start to tremble.

Ain’t neither one gonna happen.

For the Dims, Trump breathing is enough grounds for impeachment.

==

Yet, Trump continues to appoint judges, oversee economic improves, see increased jobs, etc.

Those ‘crumbs’ Pelosi complained about have Walmart and Home Depot, etc., seeing marvelous quarters. Long-haul truck sales are running 9 months behind — the manufacturers cannot produce them fast enough to fill the growing needs.

No wonder the Dims in in weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth mode.

He was talking to Acosta at the time, so he had a captive and drooling audience of at least one other idiot

That’s the “grounds for impeachment” du jour for today.

Tomorrow, it’ll be something else that some lame-ass democrat idiot pulls out of his/her/it’s ass...

“Trump passed gas today - GROUNDS FOR IMPEACHMENT!!!!!”

“Trump smirked at Maxine Waters today - GROUNDS FOR IMPEACHMENT!!!!!”

Yeah... it’s THAT stupid, because THEY are THAT stupid.

Laugh at them, ridicule them, and give them the middle finger.

Please tell me that the U.S. Electorate is watching this Deep State trick of rail roading a person, just because they were trying really to get to the President. There is Hell to pay in November for Democrats who think that giving the FBI LIMITLESS POWER is the same as Stalins Gulag.

How this guy got to be one of 435 people making laws for the entire nation is beyond me. He’s a putz. The pardon power was deliberately and explicitly put in the Constitution by the Founders. It certainly is NOT any kind of “high crime or misdemeanor,” which would be the ONLY basis for impeachment.

Also, this putz doesn’t even KNOW what impeachment is - he probably thinks that it boots the POTUS out of office when, in fact, it is only equivalent to an indictment. Conviction requires a 2/3 vote of the Senate.

Oh, BTW, I didn’t notice anyone on the Left complaining when the Philanderer in Chief pardoned Marc Rich - FOR TAX EVASION! If that guy can get pardoned, then so can Manafort, especially when NO ONE has EVER alleged that Rich was prosecuted for political reasons, to get at someone in power (which is manifestly the case with Manafort).

Phuck Lieu!

Well, I was thinking that maybe they wouldn’t impeach Trump for brushing his teeth, but then I realized that toothpaste is white, and they’d consider that some kind of hate crime.

Well then lieu better not try to pardon him. Oh, wait. Sounds like lieu already knows the outcome of the trial. Based on cnn trying to obtain the jurors names?

I wish President Trump would pardon those who were under scrutiny because of the bogus investigation, rescind top security clearance for those no longer employed by the gov (or demoted), and ignore orders by rogue judges. He shouldn't worry if the maniacs think it's "grounds for impeachment",

For the maniacs, when President Trump breathes, it's "grounds for impeachment". Reality check...he'll be impeached if the 'pubs don't keep the HOR majority. The best way to keep the majority is for President Trump take strong, decisive actions that will inspire Deplorables to get to the polls. JMHO

Actually, “grounds for impeachment” are whatever congress pleases.

The Dems can impeach all they want if they take the House, the Senate won’t convict.

For the Democrats anything is “grounds for impeachment.”

The fact that Trump is president is by definition grounds for impeachment.

The House itself defines High Crimes and Misdemeanors. Misdemeanor is a legal term but it is also an English word that means merely Inappropriateness. An act or attitude unapproved by society is a misdemeanor.
