1. honest question...why Monday?

Can't they do this today or even Saturday? Wouldn't the pressing nature of this immenent DANGER (orange asshole) make it legit for them to hold sessions over the weekend?

[stillcool]

2. I thought the same thing...why not tonight?

[asiliveandbreathe]

4. Perhaps they are waiting for more members to voice their yea or nay...

giving those on the fence time to come to the same conclusion as the 150 already on board..goodness knows this pos in the WH needs to be removed due to the national security risk..clear and present danger..

[Laura PourMeADrink]

9. You are so right. If you believe he is too dangerous to

Sit there another minute.... Your probability of conviction goes down each day closer to inauguration and each day away from crime.

[Karadeniz]

3. Starfish Saver wrote an excellent explanation...It's still there under Greatest Threads.

6. i get it...and Im not yelling for them to do it NOW

just hope that there will be security in place until we can get this passed and him dragged out of the WH

[Bev54]

5. I just saw they now have 230 supporters of Trump being removed

so I am assuming those will endorse this move.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

8. House? Or including some senators.?

[Bev54]

12. Didn't say just on the CNN chyron, if they said, I missed it

7. Mr. Chief Justice, this would be a good time to send your BLACK robe to the cleaners......

(NOT your WHITE robe!)

10. David Cicilline is my congressman!

Makes me very proud!

[calimary]

27. Ted Lieu WAS my Congressman, til we moved.

I STILL consider him my Congressman, since he’s a true-blue Dem, and not a DINO like we’re forced to suffer now.

11. Did Pence figure out Trump's not on his side yet?

Pence must be Ted Cruz's doppleganger

One can't defend his wife.

The other can't defend himself.

13. Doing nothing is not an option.

Yup! Impeach his ass and let the republican senators go on record if they want
to protect him.

[robbob]

14. You beat me to it!

I was ambivalent about starting articles of impeachment, or even invoking the 25th so close to the end of his term, but then I saw that tweet. Yes, doing nothing is not an option. I think we are all on the same page in our opinion of tRump, but I never in my wildest dreams pictured him so completely shitting all over whatever “legacy” he thought he might lay claim to. It’s a fitting end to a nightmarish 4 years...

[Botany]

20. Impeaching Trump ASAP is a good first step and it might help to stop from issuing a bunch of ...

.... pardons too.

We have him calling the Sec. of State in Georgia so as to rig the outcome in an election and in the inciting
of a riot in D.C..

25. Speaking of feces, the mob spread feces all over...

on floors, walls, etc.

[SheltieLover]

24. And ud repuje senators wipl not convoct & ban from future office

Reintroduce the same ramned thing on 1/21 & get it done! He must never even be alliwed to think of or fundraise for another campaign!

[Ligyron]

15. Good, this will cause him to do something stupid in response and seal his fate.

Don't know what it will be, but hopefully it will take away any cover fence sitters have left to hide behind.

[PatrickforO]

16. I thought Ilhan Omar was drawing these up.

I'm sure she is a co-sponser, though.

[Retrograde]

19. Lieu, Raskin, and Cicilline are lawyers

Omar isn't. I suspect she had input on the contents and the first three translated it into legalese.

[PatrickforO]

22. Oh, good. Well, let's do hope they go forward with it.

I don't think Pence is doing the 25th thing, so it is up to the House, and yeah, Clyburn has it right - Trump enjoys doing things no president has ever done before, so let's help him break this NEW ground - be the first US president impeached TWICE.

The Senate won't convict, but so what? It will be cathartic.

[riverbendviewgal]

17. Ensure trump gets no presidential funeral.

He should have nothing named after him.

[Cinnamonspice]

21. Impeachment is not enough.

It doesn't work as far as removing the president. We need the 25th amendment now.

[MontanaMama]

23. That won't happen.

Pence wouldn’t even take Pelosi and Schumer’s phone call after leaving them on hold for 25 minutes. Most of the cabinet has resigned.

[BobTheSubgenius]

26. Go Ted Lieu!!!

So much more than just a great source of in-the-moment humour. Another individual near the top of my political pyramid or respect, and funny AF to boot!
