What a monumental waste of money.

Trump responds to Calif. billionaire urging impeachment
By KEN THOMAS
Oct. 27, 2017
 
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump is responding to a California billionaire who has vowed to spend at least $10 million in advertising calling for the president’s impeachment.

Trump is using Twitter to call Tom Steyer “wacky & totally unhinged.” He says Steyer “has been fighting me and my Make America Great Again agenda from the beginning,” adding the billionaire environmentalist “never wins elections!”

Steyer recently launched the advertising, which has been running on Fox News and other national outlets, arguing that Trump should be ousted from office. Steyer contends Trump is pushing the U.S. toward a nuclear war, is obstructing justice at the FBI and threatening to shut down news organizations he doesn’t like.

Steyer wants viewers to call their members of Congress and tell them to bring articles of impeachment.

Gutiérrez Pushes Impeachment Day After NYC Terror Attack
PETER HASSON
Associate Editor
11/01/2017

Democratic Rep. Luis Gutiérrez is pushing full steam ahead with impeachment measures the day after an Islamist terrorist attack in New York City that left eight people dead.

House Democrats will file impeachment measures before Thanksgiving, Gutiérrez told The Hill on Wednesday. “It is clear to us that he is unfit to be president of the United States of America,” the Illinois congressman said.

Gutiérrez declined to say on what basis Democrats will make their impeachment case but told The Hill, “I assure you we will not leave you lacking for reason.”

Gutiérrez’s comments came the day after New York police officers arrested 29-year-old Sayfullo Saipov, originally from Uzbekistan, for mowing down New Yorkers in a rental truck. The terrorist attack, which Saipov dedicated to ISIS, left eight people dead.

Left-wing Democrats have been pushing for impeachment since before President Trump ever took office. (RELATED: Maxine Waters Pushes Trump Impeachment During Eulogy)

Democratic megadonor Tom Steyer recently launched a $10 million ad campaign in support of impeachment, while left-wing activists have been using the impeachment issue to energize the base and call for protests.

The impeachment push comes despite House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi’s repeated pleas for Democrats to hold their fire on the issue. (RELATED: Trump Impeachment Talk Started Before He Was Even Nominated)

Gutiérrez has had a heated relationship with the White House. The congressman previously sparked controversy after attacking Gen. John Kelly, Trump’s chief of staff, as a “disgrace to the uniform.”

Gutiérrez, who never served in the military, refused to apologize for his attack on Kelly.

House Dem's new demand: Impeach Trump by Christmas
Fox News

Texas Democrat Al Green said Wednesday he’s giving his colleagues in the House a Christmas deadline to vote on impeaching President Trump.

“I now announce that before Christmas, there will be a vote on the chief inciter of racism, bigotry, hatred, xenophobia, sexism and ethnocentrism,” he said on the House floor, adding that he prayed the United States will “continue to reject what the inciter in chief, Donald J. Trump has been causing this country to have to endure.”

This is hardly the first time Green has called for impeaching the president, though he hasn't put a timeframe on it until now.

Last month, Green unveiled formal articles of impeachment, though it never made it to the House floor for a vote. At the time, Green said he wanted to give lawmakers extra time to read through the proposal.

Green’s resolution covered four articles of impeachment.

One accused the president of “inciting white supremacy, sexism, bigotry, hatred, xenophobia, race-baiting, and racism by demeaning, defaming, disrespecting and disparaging women and certain minorities.” Another alleged Trump brought “shame and dishonor to the office of the presidency by associating the majesty and dignity of the presidency with causes rooted in white supremacy, bigotry, racism, anti-Semitism, white nationalism and neo-Nazism.”

GREEN INTRODUCES ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT AGAINST TRUMP

While acknowledging conservatives aren’t likely to jump on board and kick Trump out of the Oval Office, Green said, “Whatever others will do is their choice. My conscience dictates that I will vote to impeach.”

There’s not much enthusiasm among most congressional Democrats to impeach.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi has repeatedly downplayed talk of impeachment and on Sunday told CNN it wasn’t one of her legislative priorities.

Using the recent terrorist attack in New York, to imply Trump should not be impeached is nonsense. No matter if the judicial system agreed with Trump's ban on immigrants, it will not decrease the likelihood of future terrorist attacks. Even if we could round up all immigrants from countries with terrorist ties, there will still be plenty of homegrown terrorists left to practice their insanity in the U.S.

Any and all talk about impeachment is nonsense.

Are you expecting me to name them? There are approximately 880 million Republicans in the U.S. If you are asking only about Republicans in Congress, a few brave Republican souls have spoken out against Trump. They likely won't come forward until the grounds for his impeachment are established. To do otherwise at this point would be political suicide. Several Republican Congressmen announced they would not seek reelection, a few of these said they do not support Trump or are at odds with him and/or his policies.

The Senate probably needs only six votes from Republicans to impeach Trump. Ms Kamarck, who is director of the Centre for Effective Public Management, said 12 Republican Senators had "no fear of the President" and had indicated they could vote against him.

Look, I'm not saying Trump will be impeached. What I am saying is that it's a possibility. Just like it is possible he won't physically survive his term(s) in office. He's an overweight, hyper-A-type person, who is well past his prime. The odds are not in his favor.




Where did you find 880 million Republicans? Are you counting the dead ones too?

Name one Republican in Washington that has called for Trump's impeachment.

House Democrat will force vote to impeach Trump on Wednesday
washingtonexaminer.com ^ | 12/5/17 | Laura Barrón-López
Posted on 12/5/2017, 1:23:23 PM by ColdOne

The House is about to vote on impeachment articles against President Trump.

Democratic Rep. Al Green of Texas said he will force a vote on impeaching Trump as early as Wednesday. Republicans will easily table the symbolic vote, but it will put lawmakers on the record.

“Three prominent Democrats have asked to meet with me to discuss impeachment,” Green said on the floor Tuesday. Green appeared to be referring to members within his party’s leadership who have urged him to stop his campaign to force an impeachment vote.

“I will tell them I refuse to sit on the sidelines while the world is considering one of the great issues of our time,” Green said. “I will tell them that tomorrow we will bring articles of impeachment to the floor of the Congress of United States of America for a vote.”

House rejects Trump impeachment resolution after Dem Rep. Al Green forces vote

By Alex Pappas   | Fox News

Republican Councilman Joe Borelli and Fox News contributor Jehmu Greene debate the merits on 'Fox & Friends First.'

The House of Representatives overwhelmingly rejected an attempt to impeach President Trump after a liberal Texas congressman forced a vote on his effort.

Democratic Rep. Al Green, who has repeatedly called for the president's removal, introduced two articles of impeachment against Trump on Wednesday.

But lawmakers immediately voted to effectively kill his resolution, with 364 voting to table it and 58 Democrats voting to move ahead.

In a dramatic speech on the floor ahead of the vote, Green called Trump “unfit” for office and accused him of "high misdemeanors."

The symbolic vote had been expected to fail in the Republican-controlled House. It put some lawmakers in competitive districts in a tough spot by forcing them on the record about impeachment.

Lawmakers did not actually vote on the actual articles of impeachment, but on a procedural measure that would have led to a vote on them.

“As I have said before, this is not about Democrats, it is about democracy,” Green wrote in a memo to his colleagues. “It is not about Republicans, it is about the fate of our Republic. May everyone vote their conscience knowing that history will judge us all.”

Green has discussed his intention to impeach Trump since last spring. In October, Green filed impeachment articles that nearly forced a vote -- until House Democratic leaders persuaded him to abandon the effort.

At the time, White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders called the effort "pathetic.”

AL GREEN INTRODUCES ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT AGAINST TRUMP

In his memo to lawmakers, Green didn’t allege “obstruction of justice” or reference the ongoing investigation into the 2016 presidential campaign’s connection with Russia.

Instead, Green highlighted Trump’s supposed association with “White Nationalism, Neo-Nazism and Hate,” as well as “Inciting Hatred and Hostility,” as offenses worthy of impeachment.

“Friends, whether we like it or not, we now have a bigot in the White House who incites hatred and hostility,” Green wrote in a letter.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., has insisted that any impeachment effort should be put on hold until there is evidence of an impeachable offense.

NBC/WSJ Poll: 41 Percent Support Impeachment Hearings
By Jeffrey Rodack    |   Wednesday, 20 Dec 2017

Forty-one percent of Americans want Congress to hold impeachment hearings to remove President Donald Trump from office, while 54 percent oppose the idea, according to a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll.

Here is how the poll, released Wednesday, breaks down:

38 percent believe the Trump presidential campaign colluded with Russia; 35 percent said it did not and 26 percent did not know enough to say.
36 percent said the indictments or guilty pleas by members of the Trump campaign suggest wrongdoing by the president; 28 percent said the alleged wrongdoing is limited to just those particular individuals and 34 percent did not know enough to say.
28 percent have a positive feeling about special counsel Robert Mueller; 21 percent are negative; 15 percent are neutral and 36 percent were uncertain.
26 percent said Trump will be a successful president; 44 percent say he will be unsuccessful and 29 percent are not ready to pass judgment.

The poll, conducted Dec. 13-15, surveyed 900 adults. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.3 percentage points.

His goose is cooked when they find the smoking gun proving he conspired with Putin to get elected president so he could become Putin's puppet.
