RICHMOND, Calif. --

The first 100 days of the Trump administration aren't even over yet, but he president is already facing calls for impeachment... not from Congres, but a city council in California.

Richmond City Council says it has become the first city in the country to go on record in support of impeachment hearings for President Trump.

The council acknowledged how unusual it was to call for the president's impeachment. He's been in office for only a month, but the vote was unanimous.

"Unfortunately with this president it's oddly appropriate," said Richmond City Councilmember Jael Myrick

city council???

They don't have the power

It is just more hateful symbolism, by the ignorant

Obviously, Cali knows how to manage shit...they should dictate all policy and choose all our leaders!

Are you aware the California is trying to lay claim to Snake River water?

 

[tyroneweaver]

Good to know their residents' tax dollars are being put to good use

ON the coast in liberal areas.

Didn't you just make a thread about how removing Trump from office would be easy, "without impeachment"?

What happened bruh?

This is a piece from the SF Chronicle written by the founder of Salon.

This guy is well aware of the mechanizations of the Deep State, but also a liberal. It is a good read for those on the left, and a warning.

Washington’s coup fever heats up

Democracy is an exquisitely fragile enterprise, “a delicate eggshell in the rough-and-tumble of history,” as I wrote in my book, “The Devil’s Chessboard.” Rule by the people must always contend with rule by elites who are much more organized, financed, ruthless and armed.

<snip>

But there’s a big difference between taking advantage of the cracks in the national security establishment to shed light on the dark operations of power, and celebrating the deep state as our savior. That’s what some liberal commentators — like Tim Weiner, a former New York Times reporter and author of books about the CIA and FBI — were doing last week, going on the cable shows and getting all gooey about the strongmen in the shadows who will supposedly protect us. Weiner got so carried away at one point on “The Rachel Maddow Show” that he called the FBI’s Machiavellian director, James Comey, and Sen. John McCain — a man who has never seen a war he didn’t like — the only heroic watchmen standing in the way of the Trump abyss.


Wrong. My fellow Americans — we’re democracy’s last line of defense.

Nothing like a waste of time and tax dollars on symbolic bullshit.

Those communities leadership seems not to have enough to do.

A problem handily cured when they no longer get a federal handout (EO's can be a bitch!) and they can use their free time to figure out where they're going to get the money for their pet projects and to defend fines and penalties for the many things every city does but few notice.

Payback can be a bitch and, today, it should be.
