House to vote on Trump impeachment resolution over 'racist' tweets
Rep. Al Green, D-Texas, forced consideration of the measure after introducing articles of impeachment Tuesday evening in the form of a privileged resolution, requiring the House to take up the measure within two legislative days.
Democratic leaders oppose the effort, and aides said it's unclear how the chamber will consider the resolution. Under House rules, the House can either take up impeachment, move to table consideration, or refer it to the House Judiciary Committee.

Democratic leaders oppose the effort, and aides said it's unclear how the chamber will consider the resolution. Under House rules, the House can either take up impeachment, move to table consideration, or refer it to the House Judiciary Committee.
But with the House now in Democrats' hands, the subject is one that party leaders have been reluctant to take up, and have instead called for the continued investigation of the president and the Trump administration.
Democrats harbor political concerns about the vote -- dozens of moderate freshmen would rather discuss the party's agenda than take up impeachment before they return home for the six-week August recess. And while at least 86 House Democrats support launching impeachment proceedings against Trump, according to an ABC News analysis, some said they considered Green's effort premature ahead of special counsel Robert Mueller's testimony next week.
Green's impeachment resolution makes no mention of the findings of the Mueller report and the administration's refusal to comply with congressional subpoenas for documents and testimony, which Democrats have labored to highlight in a series of hearings and additional investigations.
"I think there are legitimate reasons to favor impeachment, but I think we need to hear from the man that wrote the report," Rep. Gerry Connolly, D-Va., said on Wednesday.
A former high school history teacher, Clyburn suggested the House might not have to impeach as a result of Democrats' investigative work, pointing to the high-profile witnesses whose testimony eventually forced President Richard Nixon to resign during Watergate.
"It was John Dean’s testimony, Alexander Butterfield’s testimony," he said. "We never got to the point of impeaching Nixon, we didn’t need to because we did good investigative work."
Green said postponing consideration of impeachment until after Mueller's testimony would be "justice delayed."
"I will do this even if I am the only person who is involved in the process," he said. "There are some times on some issues where it's better to stand alone than not stand at all."
I liked Al green SO MUCH better when he was doing this......
The idea of doing this is just stupid. The House would pass it then the Senate would reject it and Trump would just be saying, "See it was a Democratic witch hunt and it failed! They're just unAmerican and trying to undermine your president!"
You would just be handing him political points on a platter.
Intoducing for The Cleveland Browns, Quarterback Deshawn "The Predator" Watson. He will also be the one to choose your next head coach.
I certainly don't feel he's fit to be president. But if you want him removed, go out and beat him in the election.
The senate will never approve a vote on impeachment and it will become, as it already has, a road to nowhere that will only end up serving in his best interest.

We've got a guy telling us since before day 1 that impeachment was inevitable. And, here we are.
Here comes arch to troll OCD. I'm the bad guy for posting the news. Even though I followed with Pelosi would kill it. You win arch, here's your bozo button!
Since when did posting any kind of tweet become a high crime or misdemeanor? This shouldn't pass the house even if all house members were democrats sharing a single brain.
Oh. I'm a troll? Because you post garbage on a public message board, and I reply?
Who's the troll?
At least you know ...........well, you've been preaching impeachment since before trump took office.
You don't like him, no matter what. Okay. Just, man, your reputation isn't very good on predictions.
Reminds me of the boy that cried wolf.
You don't reply, you come out talking about my history of calling for him to be gone and thinking Congress would treat him like any other President from the past for commiting High Crimes.

No No, third times the charm, we got him this time!
Take a moment and think about your posting history.
Then, be man enough to laugh at yourself.
Wanting Trump gone is not a laughing matter for me. But I obviously see what you mean. However arch, I will keep rooting for him to be impeached or otherwise removed until he is gone because I despise him on a molecular level. AND not just because he is POTUS. He is everything I despise in a man. He's a compulsive liar, a criminal, a fraud, a traitor, a conman, a coward, a thief, petty, a whiner, a racist, a religious bigot, a white supremacist, a misogynist, etc. Why would I or any man root for him? TDS has nothing to do with Trump, it's about people like me who can't wrap around the idea that people like you (who I know are not bad people) supporting this creep.
The House voted 332 to 95 to set aside the measure.

Green had failed twice before to get an impeachment resolution passed, but Wednesday marked the first time the full House had addressed the matter since Democrats took the majority earlier this year.
I don't care for two of them myself, but by not naming these dems Tapper is just describing cowards that are afraid to speak their minds... sounds like the spineless establishment incumbents that are going to get challenged by progressives. The points they made sounds like they buy into Trump's criticisms of the squad too, so maybe they should go play for the other side...
Fake News, Fake News... But on the serious side, I don't care for Omar or Tlaib either. I don't want to see those seats go to GOPers, but I would not care if they lost to dems.

95! That's at least 30 more votes than I expected. Maybe Mueller's testimony will put us over the top next week!

Fascism (/ˈfæʃɪzəm/) is a form of radical right-wing, authoritarian ultranationalism characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition and strong regimentation of society and of the economy which came to prominence in early 20th-century Europe.
describes you trump supporters perfectly. we've been figured it out. you're just in denial.
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
bro, i mean that damn near describes them word for word.
radical right wing: check authoritarian ultranationalism: massive ass check suppression of opposition: massive ass check regimentation of society and of the economy: big freaking check
the ONLY thing saving us from the dictatorial power is the US constitution, which we all know the MAGA hatters would love to change the constitution to allow der fuhrer to keep holding power like their favorite world leader Putin.
remember that during the obama years? these same fake ass patriots whining about the "anti american" dems were taking putin's side over obama and saying he was a real leader.
its mind blowing how pathetically hypocritical they are. Erik got the nerve to call someone fascist while he actively lives out the definition every day he supports trump. the projection him and the rest of the sheep is beyond hilarious, if it wasnt so destructive to this country.

Maybe. And if not, expect a response from me.
Dude, you've been parading this stance since forever.
I had no idea that a Tweet was a high crime and/or misdemeanor.
Hmm. Learn something new every day.
Micah 6:8; He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.
John 14:19 Jesus said: Because I live, you also will live.
I don't deny my position or that I get excited when it looks like the do nothing dems my impeach this traitorous slime occupying the oval. But I have to bust your chops for trying to make a big deal out of something anybody that's been here for more than an hour knows.

Hmmm. Accepting help from a foreign state to win an election is, obstruction of justice is, conspiracy is, breaking campaign finance law is, and the unindicted POTUS portrayed by 'Individual 1' in a felony is!

Anyone that's been here for more than an hour, let alone those that have been here since just prior to Trump getting elected, know that you have had a burr up your rear that you can't get rid of, yet you keep showing the burr, with nothing to show for it. Dude, most people ignore your posts. Even your 'friends'.
