Check In If You Support Impeachment of Trump!

[berni_mccoy]

Let the Democratic Leadership know how their base feels about it.

Let's send a message folks. Most of our reps are going to pressure for Impeachment in the next few days. Let them know we have their backs!

[blm]

1. ✔️

[sakabatou]

2. I support it

[DownriverDem]

37. I support impeachment

but I want it done right. Perhaps reviewing Watergate will help. https://politicalwire.com/2019/09/24/lessons-from-watergate/

[Keg Stand]

192. I am all for impeachment.

There is nothing I want more than to see Trump thrown out of office.

[calimary]

273. I've been pushing for impeachment for months!

Longer, actually. I was the loudest and most adamant voice on our Indivisible Slack channels early-on, when even a lot of activists were hesitating.

Because we have GOT TO send a notice through the history books - to EVERY doggone future president who will ever walk the earth:
You DO NOT get to do this.
You are NOT some royally-entitled crowned head.
You are NOT infallible like some pope.
You are NOT a ruler by some Divine Right.
And you ARE NOT and WILL NEVER BE above the law.

The LAW is king. NOT you.

[Bettie]

3. Checking in!

Got to make my phone calls in a short while.

[Wawannabe]

4. Well CHA!

Impeach him, thrown him in jail, let him rot! 😏😤😡

[DownriverDem]

43. Hello?

Do you remember when Clinton was impeached? The Senate voted to not try him. Clinton was not kicked out or jailed. The reason why impeachment is important with trump is that all his deeds will be on the record. Please google how it all works.

[Scarsdale]

64. Many of them were

having their own affairs at the time, so hypocrisy was rampant. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. Ah, the "good old days" when the family values party was moved to try to impeach a (D) president over a BJ.

[Wawannabe]

257. Please google it yourself!

And don’t patronize me!
I checked in and made comments. You are trolling. Back off.

[Zoonart]

[Newest Reality]

9. Of course...

[pwb]

10. The base is fine with what is happening?

Its our fringes that without immediate impeachment act like they won't vote democratic.

[BlueWI]

356. If the base likes democracy, they need to support impeachment.

And plenty of people on the left flank have canvassed with and donated to Dems for decades. No "fringe," no election wins. We're the people that didn't bolt and vote for Reagan and Bush I and W. Voting Democrat since jump.

[TidalWave46]

11. I don't know what evidence they have but what is known publicly right now is damning.

I would like to think that means they know a lot more. I'm very happy with what the House Democrats have been doing. Some of the more centrist members have become accepting to impeachment recently. That alone tells me the optics and tactics are working. I really feel that much of what we are seeing is a bunch of people trying to determine what the articles will be. I don't think that is as easy of a decision as some might think.

Where I seem to stand apart from a lot of people on this site is that I feel we can get enough Republicans to join us to make a difference if we go with the correct articles and make the case clear. I don't think they will find their moral or ethical compass. I think they are self-serving assholes. Look at the retirements. Look at the polls. Standing by Trump in many counties across the country is a political death sentence for some Republicans and is only getting worse. They are loyal to themselves before all else. The cornerstone of todays Republican.

Yes, I support impeachment. It's why I support the parties current actions. Seems a clear line to impeachment is being drawn. Lets line up the strongest articles and get him on more than obstruction. If national security is the center of the articles then I think he gets removed from office. I would still support impeachment on charges of obstruction alone. He just wouldn't be removed from office.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

20. If you put yourself in the shoes of a Republican now

though...it's almost too late to turn. If you think about self preservation, they might have been able to overcome a vote against trump a year ago. And a viable replacement who they could prop up and rally around became apparent. Let's just say somehow trump got removed soon. There wouldn't be enough time to find a new 2020 candidate and for the public to forget a yes vote. That assumes no one except Karen thinks Pounce is the one.

[TidalWave46]

59. "it's almost too late to turn."

I really do think it's just the opposite. Trump is becoming more unstable and is clearly outlining himself as a national security threat. It becomes more and more clear to the public each day. I think the tide is still rising when it comes to the possibility of getting some Republicans on board.

"If you think about self preservation, they might have been able to overcome a vote against trump a year ago. And a viable replacement who they could prop up and rally around became apparent. Let's just say somehow trump got removed soon. There wouldn't be enough time to find a new 2020 candidate and for the public to forget a yes vote."

This means that over the next couple of months they would want to go into 2020 with Trump. With what is going on it could truly set them back even further in every area. I know that many of them want to go forward with Trump but I don't think it's even close to all of them.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

73. Totally agree he's Impeachment and removal worthy.

Hoping that the facts on this Ukrainian escapade are so black and white and so undeniable that it will persuade some Republicans. But jeez, can't even remember a time when they weren't monolithic. It would be so refreshing to witness.

[berni_mccoy]

74. Almost being the key word here. It's not too late. Many can still do the right thing

and not lose politically.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

79. It will be a wonderful thing to witness! It will restore

faith in our ability to recognize right from wrong.

[kiri]

370. Trump will dump Pency.

I continue to think Trump will dump Pency. He brings nothing to the table, Indiana is a lock. RW evangelicals are locked up. Trump needs a VP candidate who will carry Pennsylvania and Michigan.
(How Palin reenergized McCain....) Mommy Karen is doing extra praying.

[muntrv]

12. Hell yeah!

[MyOwnPeace]

13. They MUST!

To not do so is to approve all that IQ45 has done up to this point.
If not for now, do it for future administrations.

[BigmanPigman]

14. Call [phone]

Let them know in your strongest voice.

[bdamomma]

101. thank you BigmanPigman

we need to show that WE THE PEOPLE HAVE THE POWER.

[MojoWrkn]

217. You can also get a e-mail contact for them at CONGRESS.GOV or send them a postcard!

Postcards do not have to be screened for contraband and are faster than regular mail! Swamp their mailboxes! Leave a message at their telephone # because you prob won't be able to speak with them but let their aides know how you feel and to pass along your feeling to their boss! Call the Senators and the House of Reps so MAYBE we can get rid of the cancer in the WH!
On the web page CONGRESS.GOV, look up in the far right corner and you can get your member's info!

[BigmanPigman]

246. I emailed mine this time.

In the past I called.

[Chakaconcarne]

15. way past time

[woodsprite]

16. He must be impeached, and I am all for it.

Other members of his cabal should be impeached as well.

[brush]

17. Now! Right now!

[Laura PourMeADrink]

23. I have already been warned it won't happen soon. IOW

still drawn out hearings. And imagine waiting on court rulings on docs again...

[brush]

235. They're moving towards it finally. trump admited the extortion. We have to rid ourselves of the...

notion that we will lose the election if we impeach. Clinton was impeached but the repugs won the next election because of the taint.

Let them delay but with a declared impeachmen inquiry the courts expedite their rulings and it's clear Barr and trump broke the law by not forwarding the report on the extortion to Congress.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

240. Trump testing out different defenses. Latest that

It's about countries carrying their own weight $$. Yesterday it was denying funds because they are corrupt. What worried me today was his tweet that there is no transcript of convo between him and Ukraine prez.

[jrthin]

18. I support impeachment!

[Meadowoak]

164. We have a responsibility to the world to impeach NOW!

[badhair77]

19. It's time.

Let the investigation begin.

[KY_EnviroGuy]

21. Strongly support.

Beyond the criminality, Trump's massive volume of lies and deceptions to the American public is sufficient grounds.

This is not what public servants do.

............

[NRaleighLiberal]

22. been a supporter of impeachment since election theft night

[Laura PourMeADrink]

24. Me 2. Like my husband always says, "Great minds

think alike, and so do we !"

[mountain grammy]

31. yep. same here.

[icymist]

25. Yes!

[Thunderbeast]

26. Yes...and criminal prosecution.

[bearsfootball516]

27. I was on the fence earlier. I'm fully on board now.

[ancianita]

28. Present!

[lark]

29. Impeach that traitorous mangey fat orange rat - and start it NOW!

Let him be orange from head to toe with jail bars to frame him.

[aggiesal]

128. He wouldn't need the suit! ...

I'm sorry about that visual.

[mountain grammy]

30. Impeach!

[Aussie105]

32. Make America Sane Again

by cleaning out the White House.

A fire sale! Everyone whose surname starts with 'T' must go!

Followed by fumigators and exorcists entering the White House. Ritual spiritual gatherings on the White House lawns as part of the cleansing process.

Once complete, we can smile and look at our neighbours without guilt and confusion.

[brutus smith]

33. Let's do this!

[Moral Compass]

34. Impeach!!!!!

[UpInArms]

35. I'm in

✔️

[Laura PourMeADrink]

36. What do you think about Articles? Heard an analyst say

that Dems should pare down to only this Ukraine crime. And expedite in a very swift way.

As quick as possible and as close to the event as possible. Kind of like what we didn't do with the Mueller findings which diminished their gravity.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

136. no! the Articles of Impeachment should be comprehensive

Don't pare it down. Throw the book at the rat bastard. Catalog his crimes against us and the world.

[BlueWI]

357. +1000

The list of crimes should be inclusive of every documented offense. Why would it be different from other high profile federal prosecutions? Let the public see it all.

[gibraltar72]

38. I'm in.

[CaptYossarian]

39. What will it take?

Maybe he was right about shooting someone on 5th Avenue and getting away with it.

[CaptainTruth]

40. Absolutely. I think we finally have the ironclad case Pelosi said she wanted to move forward.

[LW1977]

41. Impeach

[mtngirl47]

42. CALL Nancy Pelosi TODAY!!

202-225-4965

Also, call your Representative -- even if they are Republican.
Also, call your Senators.

I told my Republican Rep and Senators (Meadows, Burr & Tillis) to use their clout to get the whistle blower's report to Congress or they are complicit.

[AllyCat]

44. Checking in.

Don’t care about the timing either. Only that it is time for Congress to follow its constitutional directive. Investigate and then decide if impeachment is in order. That is their JOB.

[Scalded Nun]

45. This needs to happen

Check

[RobertDevereaux]

46. I've been in favor since the first second of this monster's fake pretzel-duncy.

[Moostache]

47. Impeachment starts today, evidence MUST be presented or second article for obstruction...

IF Trump tries to hide the Whistleblower complaint OR the phone transcripts, removal from office is MANDATORY. The fact of the matter is his 'strategy' of obstruction at every turn simply becomes the grease on the rails of corruption sending him packing.

The point is to hang this evidence on the GOP senators and make them wear it forever - Moscow Mitch gets caught in his feels by being called Moscow Mitch...once they are bootlicking on the record forever, the branding of these asshats is easy forevermore.

[extvbroadcaster]

48. Way past time

If the Democrats don't impeach Trump, you might as well cancel the 2020 election and name him king. Impeach his ass now.

[Siwsan]

49. It is imperative that he be removed from office, and we begin a full range of investigations

into what may prove to be a gobsmacking degree of criminality.

[dajoki]

50. YES!!!

[Hortensis]

51. I am committed to taking power away from the Republicans

in order rescue our democracy and save my grandchildren from living in a viciously exploitative and persecutory RW autocracy. If our leadership decides it's time for impeachment, I'm all in. If not yet, I'm all in with that decision. We're living through very dangerous times.

My heart-felt gratitude to all who were part of the big blue wave that rejected what the right has become. Giving Democrats the house was like winning on the eastern front, and what it indicates about about what most Americans really want has been a great comfort.

[Stuart G]

52. Yes!

[DLevine]

53. Impeach. nt

[JanetLovesObama]

54. Hell YES !!!!! Just do it.

[walkingman]

55. I wasn't but now I think it is time - I'm tired of this daily chaos. Maybe the Rethugs will

wake up but regardless he does not represent America in any way.

[bdamomma]

104. or let them move or banish them to another country like

to Russia, or to China, but they need to get the hell out.

[defacto7]

56. I support it ONLY if it's not a half assed attempt.

Put the screws in or don't do it at all.

[Flaleftist]

57. Damn right

[mnhtnbb]

58. Long past time

so, yes, I support impeachment.

Happy to say that the third Democratic Rep from NC FINALLY came out in support several weeks ago, so our entire--gerrymandered--group of only 3 Reps are 100% behind impeachment. I wrote my Congressman Price THREE times to tell him to get on board and he was the last of the three to come out for impeachment.

[Anon-C]

60. Impeach Donald John Trump. He has committed high crimes and misdemeanors

...including treason and has forsaken his oath of office.

[democrank]

61. YES!

No more trial balloons, no more chatter about what may be under consideration, no more pro/con study groups.

Trump’s deliberate, out-in-the-open dismissal of the rule of law requires leaders to act....and fast.

[mainstreetonce]

62. Go!

Impeach!

[NCDawg]

63. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaay beyond support,....

I DEMAND IT!!!

[bluestarone]

65. YES full impeachment when the house is ready

I'M READY!! Full speed ahead!

[gademocrat7]

66. Yes I do.

The criminal in chief and his cabal continue to destroy our country. It is time to hold them responsible for their actions.

89. ITTMF -- grind exceedingly fine, too

Uncover every crime he and his cohorts have committed since the campaign for 2016, and expose it to the world. Make every voter understand the what, when, who, and wherefor.

[philf99]

90. I have been leary

But this may be the straw that broke the camels back.

Also I may be in the minority here but I was encouraged to hear Mitt Romney say he is deeply troubled by these allegations. If Republicans can regain their sanity, maybe we can remove the criminal from the Whitehouse

[BonnieJW]

91. Impeach and imprison

We have a criminal president and a criminal AG. If Congress does not bring these criminals to justice, there is no hope for this country. If God forbid, he wins again, I will be leaving this country because there is no USA anymore. I know people have threatened this in the past, but they didn't mean it because the USA was still fundamentally the USA. But if these animals remain, there will be nothing left. It will be Canada for me and I will I will encourage my kids and their families to come with me.

💯% sure. IMPEACH asap.

[Bluepinky]

95. Of course! It's a win-win for Democrats.

If the Repubs don’t vote on it or vote against it, they are supporting treason and are voting against the principles on which our country was founded. It can’t be any clearer than that.

[bdamomma]

96. To save our country

I support it. I will also add that our Reps especially our Reps need to hear we support Impeachment inquiry.

[djacq]

97. 1000 Percent ITMF!

98. Impeachment now.

[softydog88]

How can our lawmakers live with themselves if they don't support the rule of law?

[standingtall]

100. In

in fact been ready to impeach Trump for more than 2 years now.

[lapfog_1]

102. I think it may hurt us if there is an vote to remove in the Senate

which will fail.

but its the right thing to do at this point.

[Lock him up.]

123. It doesn't have to go to the Senate if the numbers aren't there.

And if the numbers aren't there, flood the medias with incriminating adds and tell voters which pugs support treason...

[WinstonSmith4740]

103. Fuck, yeah!

I'm sure we've all lost count of the emails/phone calls we've made on this, but now is not the time to let up. Don't limit yourself to your own Reps or Senators. Nadler needs to hear from us. So does Pelosi, although she does seem to be leaning harder into impeachment in the last 24 hours.

We cannot let bogus claims of executive privilege, refusal to release documents that are required by law to be turned over to congress and ignoring subpoenas to stand. We must start here and look into further charges.

112. I support impeachment.

I only made it about 50 pages into the Mueller report though.

[Dave in VA]

114. I had political concerns. Now I think it's a moral imperative.

[onetexan]

115. HEAR! HEAR!

[jmbar2]

116. I want him gone, but a failed impeachment will give the criminals 10 more years to destroy democracy

Repost from yesterday. Bear with me....


Here's the impeachment process in a nutshell, and what happens if we don't get it right.

1. President commits impeachable acts

2. House votes to initiate an impeachment inquiry - an investigation, kind of like Grand Jury
• For each impeachable offense, evidence is gathered, analyzed and judged whether it is sufficient to convict. There are no re-dos. You get one shot at it.
- This is occurring now, informally, under Jerry Nadler.
• Currently, evidence is still being subpoenaed, gathered and analyzed – Deutsche Bank records of money laundering, tax returns, testimony from various witnesses. You don't impeach before you have ironclad evidence.

3. House votes on Resolutions of Impeachment.
- Resolutions of Impeachment specify the criminal charges - the Articles of Impeachment.
- Articles of Impeachment must meet strict constitutional criteria, and convince 2/3 of the Senate to convict.

4. The House votes to Impeach.
- Requires majority vote. Right now, we are still short the votes.
- If they lose the vote, Trump is free to finish destroying democracy for Putin.

5. House appoints and funds "managers" - prosecutors to try the case in the Senate. (Stellar team is in place - they are just waiting for the bat-signal)
- Daniel Goldman (former SDNY deputy chief of organized crime)
- Daniel Noble (former SDNY co chief of complex frauds and cybercrime)

6. President is served with a summons and the Articles of Impeachment.
- They get one shot at this. If they can't persuade the senate to impeach, Trump and the republican criminals have free reign, and ammunition for reelection.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Senate Impeachment proceedings
• The Senate has the power to conduct a trial of the impeachment.
• The Chief Justice presides over the Senate trial and decides on procedures.

The impeachment Trial
1. Both sides present evidence, cross examine witnesses and present closing arguments.
2. At the conclusion of the trial, the Senate goes into closed session to deliberate.
3. The Chief justice calls for a vote
4. 2/3rds vote of the Senate is required to remove the president.
5. If Trump is removed before the 2020 election, Pence becomes president, then runs for reelection in 2020 and 2024.
->THIS IS WHY THE REPUBLICANS WOULD LIKE TO JUMP START IMPEACHMENT - another decade in power.


IOW, beware of people trying to push Nancy and the democrats to jump into impeachment too soon. If they succeed too early, we could get a President Pence until 2028. It's a trap. Don't go there.

We have to both win the case AND the election. Nancy knows this. That's why she is being so cautious.

[berni_mccoy]

133. Wow, the explanations as to why NOT to Impeach get ever more out there by the day

Pence is upside down in approval and has worse numbers than Trump.

https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/other/pence_favorableunfavorable-6013.html

Furthermore, VP's who succeed their President are rare and none have succeeded any who were impeached. Al Gore, Jerry Ford...

Not impeaching Trump because Pence MIGHT win is no reason to block JUSTICE from being administered against an ADMITTED CRIMINAL!

[jmbar2]

160. If you remove trump before the 2020 election, Pence becomes President.

We have to win BOTH the impeachment AND the election. Timing is everything.

[berni_mccoy]

168. As I said, Pence would not likely win the 2020 election.

[jmbar2]

173. Trump didn't win either

The transnational mob will pull out all the stops to keep the grift going. We must time the impeachment to help defeat the enemy at the polls.

It will happen, but timing is everything.

[Lock him up.]

138. See my reply #123

Impeachment voted by the House Majority doesn't necessarily has to be sent to the Senate, said Laurence Tribe.

[Kablooie]

117. Do or die.

[awesomerwb1]

118. I don't support impeachment

Unless we do everything, to the last detail, correctly knowing and expecting that the traitors will use ANY means available to them to distort and block any and all investigations. You're going against the WH, the DoJ, Faux Spews, and the right wing smear machine, maybe possibly some intelligence agencies as well.

Form a team of the best lawyers and strategists and get out of the way and let them do the work. Especially at the hearings, let them handle the questioning ( enough of the 5 minute BS where half the time is wasted telling us how unpatriotic someone's behavior is etc etc).

Bring a fucking flamethrower to this fight, not a butter knife.

[Boomerproud]

306. No argument from me.

No room for error !!!!

[study war no more]

391. I am with you

My biggest fear is that this will backfire and in a HUGE way. You bet I want him out of office, but if it isn't overwhelming evidence, democrats will risk losing big time in 2020. That would be even worse than letting him dig his own grave.

[Auggie]

126. Yes ... but only with "smoking gun" evidence. Even if/when the attempt fails ...

because of either a partisan GOP vote or Moscow Mitch intervention, the evidence must be clear, present, and understandable to all of the U.S.

239. A misdemeanor

Can be a small crime.
You dont need the smoking gun

They arrest you for outstanding traffic tickets
You know.

267. Trump will not be removed from office for running a stop sign

We need a DUI ... he needs to blow a 2.0 while holding an empty bottle of vodka.

.......................

[WhiskeyWulf]

127. Absolutely! Just wish . . .

there were a way to take Pence out at the same time.

[stuffmatters]

285. Pence is already demonstrabley deep in Trump's Ukraine extortion, Barr's getting there...

I'm optimistic this could be a 3fer: Pence acted as re enforcer for Trump's blackmail and Barr as coverup (obstruction) meister.

[Lock him up.]

129. Checking in, and moreso since the SDNY tape... (co-conspiring with Cohen)

TAPE
like
Nixon

Since then, 10 cases of obstruction of justice, then obstruction of Congress, and now blackmailling foreign allies (in danger of getting invaded by his pal putin every new day).

Yeah. Impeach is way past time.

[healthnut7]

151. Absolutely!!

[Pachamama]

152. YES - I absolutely support Impeachment

Not just of Trump, but also of William Barr, Brett Kavanaugh, Steve Mnuchin....

I also believe that impeachment inquiry and investigations will show that Mike Pence is also involved and will need to be impeached

I believe the crimes run very very deep.....and if nothing is done, our democracy is done.

[cstanleytech]

153. Supporting is not the issue it's the timing we all have

the largest difference of opinion on with some demanding it now and others wanting to hold off for awhile longer.

[Mike Niendorff]

154. Checking in.

We should already be *deep* into impeachment hearings.

Let's go.

155. After Ukraine, I support impeachment

Especially after the Trump bragged about it and started turning the tables on Biden. We don't have a choice.

[yaesu]

156. everyone on DU should support impeachment, the only question is when. We need to keep

the pressure on the House but we shouldn't demand a certain time frame, they have an internal battle that they need to work out and every Dem must be on board with this.

[gordianot]

162. Yes now is the time, Congress has a responsibility for oversight.

The report to the select committee must be made to a coequal branch of the Federal Government. This act of obstruction is done in plain sight Impeachment is the only remedy.

[mecherosegarden]

163. I do.

If not now, when?

[lastlib]

165. ME! ME! ME! OH YEAH, ME!!

IMPEACH HIM! CONVICT HIM!! TAR & FEATHER HIM!

Make his name synonymous with crime and evil--like Capone, Dillinger, McVeigh, bin Laden, Hitler. tRump.

[moonseller66]

166. Huh?

Failed impeachment will lose the house! So say those who know that Nancy has a Plan (not sure how they know).
But presumming no impeachment, there's no guarantee we win the Senate, Presidency or even keep the House in 2020.
And can ANYONE tell me what the House has actually accomplished? I know they've passed a lot of things but haven't the "important ones" been killed in the Turtle-arium or vetoed by the asshole in charge?

And if the Senate stays Red in 2020 and the House stays blue, even a Democratic President and House wiil be able to do little.

Why not go for impeachment now and make damn sure the public knows what's really happening.

[bearssoapbox]

167. Traitor Trump and his whole cabal need to be locked up and the keys thrown away.

Pelosi has done/is doing it right by letting Trumplethinskin continue to dig his hole deeper and deeper.

[Mandeville]

169. YES!

[FakeNoose]

170. The Repukes believe that impeachment is a tool for political revenge

... just like they impeached Bill Clinton for a blowjob. And they will try to impeach the NEXT Democratic President whomever he or she may be. It's all for spite - political revenge.

The legal and moral justifications of the impeachment of Donald Chump are totally lost on the Repukes, they will never agree with us. We can wait until Doomsday and they'll never see it. That's why I believe we Dems have to go it alone. The consensus will never be there.

We must hope that some of the more moderate, sensible members of the GOP will finally "see the light" but that won't happen until the impeachment train has already left the station. In the end, it's up to us Democrats to save this country. I believe Nancy Pelosi is following the impeachment path, but she's being way too careful. We've reached the point of no return.

[SunSeeker]

171. Just do it!

180. I've been saying we need to impeach

since this time last year at least. And in back and forth debating this here and other places I've said the same thing: if we don't impeach then we will be seen as complicit, almost as bad by the American people. Politics be damned it's the right thing to do.

197. yes, we either do it or he only going to get worse, possibly to the point he tries to blow out the

I agree 100% with John Dean that it isn't a one man show, especially with a traitorous and illegal deal with Ukraine looming. Take out every single person in on that, take out every single crooked judge, every single crooked senator, every single crooked rep. Most important, cut the head off the hydra, and then the rest. And double tap.

we must get it into the record what Trump has done AND with the latest whistle blower accusations, we may even be able to convict in the Senate. Let's go for it!!!

[Polly Hennessey]

245. Checking in.

[LudwigPastorius]

247. I leaned toward it before Trump's May 2017 interview with Lester Holt,..

based on his violations of Title of Nobility Clause of the Constitution. (emoluments) But, I was all in on impeachment after that interview was aired and Trump announced on national TV that he fired the Director of the FBI because of "the Russia thing". That was a blatant act of obstruction of justice. Robert Mueller outlined nine other instances of obstruction by Trump. These have been public knowledge since April of last year.

It only took the House of Representatives six months after Nixon refused to hand over the subpoenaed Oval Office tapes (obstruction) before a resolution to begin impeachment proceedings against him was passed.

The current Democratically-controlled House has had the ability to do something about Trump's obstruction (Comey's firing) for almost ten months now, but they have yet to vote on formal proceedings.

It is way past time for them to do their Constitutional duty.

[roamer65]

248. About damn time.

[lambchopp59]

[dreamland]

271. Should have happened long ago

Fingers crossed

[cab67]

272. Finally, I do.

Admittedly, I was on the fence about this for a long time. What Trump's done throughout his time in office is one big impeachable offense, but the public at large wasn't in favor of it, and I feared Democrats would suffer the fate of the Republicans in the wake of the Clinton impeachment. That, and conviction in the Senate is all but impossible. Impeachment might have been the moral and legal right thing to do, but it might cause more harm than good. My desire to see justice and my adherence to Realpolitik were more or less evenly opposed.

I've also long appreciated Speaker Pelosi as an incredibly intelligent and shrewd person. If she wasn't openly in favor of impeachment, there had to be a reason.

As of now, I think formal impeachment hearings are imperative. I think we're approaching the point where Democrats may suffer more for doing nothing.

[rockfordfile]

274. I agree

[neohippie]

275. Criminal conduct shouldn't be shielded by the holding the office of the President

Just because you're the President of the United States, that should not shield you from your criminal conduct.

The Department of Justice is not supposed to be personal legal counsel for a criminal enterprise that's taken root in the White House

We're looking more like a mafia state every day

[Silver Gaia]

276. Been a long time comin'! Let's go, Nancy! IMPEACH NOW!

I've been ready since November 2016. Go for it!

[ecstatic]

277. I know they're being BOMBARDED with letters, calls, and emails.

The activity on the platform I use to communicate is full of nonstop requests to impeach. And that's just one platform!

They share images of the letters written, in case anyone is interested.

[bubbazero]

280. CONSTITUTIONALITY MANDATED under oversight of executive branch

not expressly written but implied as such. Ultimate power rests with people's legislative branch. As to political ramifications, and understandable fears, I can only humbly offer 2 thoughts. 1. yes it's true-a formal IMPEACHMENT INQUIRIY is going to have the result similar to throwing gasoline on a smoldering fire. People will get hurt and burned, including some DEMOCRATS. That said let the flames burn HIGH, BRIGHT AND HOT so as to illuminate the truth once and for all! 2. Let this not be a political move, but rather an American Duty to protect our Country and Preserve The Blessings of Liberty..............for those who doubt, don't want the political risk, I ask you this question.............WHAT ARE THE LAST SIX WORDS OF THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE......IT'S ONLY A HALF DOZEN........WHAT ARE THEY?................respectfully, humbly, goodday

[Crunchy Frog]

281. I support impeachment.

[disndat]

282. Maybe Pelosi would rather

Trump be defeated in 2020. It may be that she is thinking the Nixon/Ford scenario. Nixon becomes impeached, removed
from the WH and Ford became Pres. and was able to pardon Nixon. Will this happen to Trump/Pence?
Far better outcome for Trump to be defeated in 2020, then Pence won't succeed him as Pres. with pardoning power.

I will be doing anything I can to promote not only his impeachment, but his conviction and removal.

He is a life long con man crook, a tax cheat, a spoiled brat rich kid who tapped into the worst of some folks instincts. He lost by 3 million votes and is only where he is because of the out of date scam that is the Electoral College, and voters still not buying into racial, ethnic, and LGBTQ justice.

He is a horrible leader, and should end up in prison. He has made Nixon almost look good by comparison.

[comradebillyboy]

327. We have crossed the Rubicon. There is no other choice.

If Nancy is there you know the caucus will support her. She has been waiting for the dam to break and it broke this morning when the group of seven moderate holdouts came out for impeachment.
