What a disgusting cesspool of self-serving corruption is the nation’s capital and no better example of that can be found today than Senate Majority Leader, Mitch McConnell who, according to longtime political activist, Ned Ryun, was a primary source of the anti-Roy Moore stories that are now attempting to sway the upcoming Alabama special election and help clear the path for a Trump impeachment attempt in 2018. “…I strongly suspect it’s a very short list of people, all who are associated with Mitch McConnell – whether it’s Josh Holmes, whether it’s Karl Rove, might even be Steven Law – I...

Fox Business host Stuart Varney responded Thursday to news that six Democrat representatives have introduced articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump, saying the real reason liberals really want to impeach Trump is because they despise him. Rep. Steve Cohen of Tennessee announced the introduction of the articles of impeachment on Wednesday. He was joined by Reps. Al Green of Texas, Marcia Fudge of Ohio, Luis Gutierrez of Illinois, John Yarmuth of Kentucky and Adriano Espaillat of New York. “Given the magnitude of the constitutional crisis, there’s no reason for delay,” Cohen said in a statement. However, Varney suggested that...

fter a group of Democrats announced five articles of impeachment drafted against President Donald Trump, the White House offered its take on the lawmakers behind the effort. White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders called the House Democrats “extremists” in a statement on the proposal, according to CNN. As The Western Journal reported, Rep. Steve Cohen, D-Tenn., sponsored the resolution with support from five other Democratic lawmakers. Sanders said the elected officials’ time “would be better spent focusing on tax relief for American families and businesses” than on an unlikely bid to impeach Trump. “It’s disappointing that extremists in Congress...

Five articles of impeachment were put forward Wednesday by House Democrats as the push for removing Trump reaches the action stage. The time for talk is over! Though it will certainly not go anywhere or get any kind of hearing, George Washington University Law Professor Jonathan Turley said that this move sets a dangerous precedent. Reps. Adriano Espaillat of Washington Heights, N.Y., Steve Cohen of Memphis, Al Green of Houston, Marcia Fudge of Cleveland, John Yarmuth of Louisville, Ky. and Luis Gutierrez of Chicago together called for President Trump to be impeached, in a move that exemplifies the liberals’ floundering...

Last night, Jimmy Kimmel Live took to the streets to see how everyday Americans feel about presidential runner-up Hillary Clinton. It’s no secret that many Americans are openly hostile to the politician, but Kimmel‘s crew discovered something entirely new while conducting interviews: people hate Clinton so much that they’re demanding she be impeached. According to Kimmel, Trump’s supporters “are so very passionate about hating Hillary Clinton, it seems that sometimes they forgot that she lost, that she’s not the president.” When Kimmel’s crew took to the street, the fact that Clinton doesn’t have a job didn’t stop people from demanding...

Several House Democrats introduced articles of impeachment targeting President Trump on Wednesday, asserting that Trump has violated the Constitution. Democratic Reps. Steve Cohen (Tenn.), Luis Gutiérrez (Ill.), Al Green (Texas), Adriano Espaillat (N.Y.), Marcia Fudge (Ohio) and John Yarmuth (Ky.) said the five articles of impeachment come out of concern for the country's national security. "We believe that President Trump has violated the Constitution, and we've introduced five articles of impeachment," Cohen said at a press conference.

There were movie stars and supermodels, TV hosts and pop stars. But perhaps the most rapturous ovation at Glamour magazine's annual Women of the Year awards went to 79-year-old Democratic U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters of California, who delighted the crowd — including hundreds of cheering young girls — with a rousing speech that ended on a very political note. "Impeach him," she exhorted the audience. "Impeach 45! Impeach 45!" Alongside Waters, honorees at Monday evening's ceremony, held at a theater in Brooklyn, included actress Nicole Kidman, singer Solange Knowles, late-night host Samantha Bee, model Gigi Hadid, film director Patty Jenkins,...

A woman who alleges that she engaged in a legal and consensual but inappropriate relationship with Republican senatorial candidate Roy Moore has deleted multiple political postings from her Facebook page. Some of those postings by Deborah Wesson Gibson were critical of Moore while one was related to Moore’s Democratic opponent, Doug Jones. One posting shows a picture of Gibson with Vice President Joe Biden and says that she did work for him in 2012. One older version of that image is still on her page while another more recent posting of that same image in response to a posting from...

Yeah, he's a back-bencher with very little power to bring his wish-casting to fruition.  And yeah, he's been beating the impeachment drum for months at this point -- just check out his 'pinned' message on Twitter.  But showcasing this clip is worthwhile for a couple reasons: First, he's channeling the id of the newly-emboldened Democratic base, which is basking in the afterglow of Tuesday's loooooong-awaited cathartic electoral triumph. Second, if Democrats win back the House next year, there's a good chance that a critical mass of Speaker-again Pelosi's caucus will demand impeachment hearings and votes, which their core voters so...

Perhaps Democrats should take Han Solo’s advice from Episode IV after last night’s big electoral win: Nice shooting, kid, don’t get cocky. Instead, Rep. Al Green appears to be channeling Solo’s other advice: Never tell me the odds. In a floor speech, the Texas Democrat pledged to force a vote on his articles of impeachment for Donald Trump in time to drop the lump of coal in the president’s Christmas stocking (via The Hill):

Fox News Channel says it won’t air any more ads from a wealthy Democratic donor advocating President Donald Trump’s impeachment due its viewers’ strong negative reaction. One negative reaction was from Trump himself, who tweeted that donor Tom Steyer was “wacky and totally unhinged.” Steyer, a billionaire hedge fund operator, calls on television viewers to sign a petition urging Trump’s impeachment. His lawyer, Brad Deutsch, said Monday that 1.5 million people had signed the petition.

Billionaire Democrat Tom Steyer is telling his party that they need to impeach President Donald Trump right now — and that waiting is a mistake. “The fact of the matter is that we believe he is dangerous to the American people now,” he told the UK Guardian. “We believe that waiting is a mistake and we believe the events that will occur over the next year will show that we are right.” Steyer did not specify which events he meant, but presumably it meant further criminal charges stemming from Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into alleged Russian interference in the...

WASHINGTON – Rep. Frederica Wilson (D-Fla.) predicted that President Donald Trump will eventually resign from office to avoid impeachment by making up an excuse such as “somebody is trying to kill Barron” Trump, his 11-year-old son. “We just have to, like the slogan says, stay woke; just stay woke, be careful, because I can see the wheels turning now…we’re marching toward impeachment, there’s no question about it. If that happens, are we prepared? Because it’s going to happen,” Wilson said Thursday at the annual Legislative & Policy Conference organized by Al Sharpton’s National Action Network (NAN) on Capitol Hill....

A group of Democrats is planning to file impeachment charges against President Donald Trump, the group’s leader, Rep. Luis Gutiérrez (D-IL), confirmed Wednesday. “It is clear to us that he is unfit to be President of the United States of America,” Gutiérrez said Wednesday, although refused to state what the charges would be, as well as the names Democrats would be supporting the effort. “I assure you, we will not leave you lacking for a reason,” said Gutiérrez, who has previously described Trump as having a “white supremacist agenda” and General. John Kelly as a “disgrace to his uniform.” One...

He has failed to pass legislation, under a legal cloud and facing threats of impeachment, but that's not the end of the story. Donald Trump is on a high, writes Bruce Wolpe. Donald Trump is the most unpopular president at this stage of his tenure than any president in modern American history. But that's not the end of the story. He has not secured passage of one major piece of legislation through Congress, failing spectacularly in his efforts to repeal Obamacare. He has presided over a precipitous decline in America's standing in the world, and has engaged in ugly exchanges...

Hillary Clinton may not be running for any particular political seat right now, but she sure does know how to sling a political punch — and boy, is she taking advantage of this Paul Manafort indictment thing. She’s like that kid that hangs with the playground bully, coming in after the beating’s been administered with a sharp kick to the guy on the ground, a “take that” jab when the guy’s rendered defenseless. Impeachment, anyone? That’s what Clinton seems to now be suggesting in a thinly veiled appeal to Congress delivered during her book tour. And just when you thought...

It's gonna happen! Paul Manafort has been indicted and...and that means that Donald Trump will soon be leaving office! I'm soooo excited that I am already tripping all over myself!!! That pretty much sums up the attitude of Rolling Stone writer Bob Dreyfuss who, upon hearing the news about Paul Manafort's indictment, just couldn't contain himself over the fantasy that this will lead to a quick exit, via resignation or impeachment, of President Donald Trump from office. Here is Dreyfuss in today's Rolling Stone sounding positively orgasmic over the fantasy that Manafort's indictment will inevitably lead to Trump's quick exit in...

Maxine Waters (D-CA) has rebranded herself in the Trump Era as a strong public servant standing up to the corrupt, demagogic president. Repeatedly, she has harangued the president during speeches that range from AIDS fundraisers to LGBT Gala award dinners.Today in Michigan, Waters led a raucous chorus at a women’s rally, chanting “Impeach 45! Impeach 45!” But, people would be wise to remember that her career is one of corruption and failure.Rep. Waters has passed just three bills in her 27 years in Congress. That means on average, Waters produces something noteworthy for constituents every 9 years. One of the...

Add another page to Donald Trump's weird recipe book—the president apparently ate rice and cherry pie for lunch on Tuesday with Senate Republicans. NBC News reporter Leigh Ann Caldwell broke the story right after the meal, tweeting that she overheard a Secret Service agent discussing Trump's intake: "He ate rice and two pieces of cherry pie. Took a few sips of his drink," Caldwell tweeted. "'He loves rice.'" Meatloaf was also served at the Tuesday luncheon, which came as top GOP senators were preparing to revamp the tax code. It's unclear whether the president ate any, but the American people...

San Francisco may call for the impeachment of President Donald Trump after 10 months of him being in office. Supervisor Sandra Fewer announced Monday afternoon that she plans to hold a rally outside City Hall at noon Tuesday in support of a resolution she plans to introduce at the Board of Supervisors meeting later that day calling for Trump’s impeachment....
