Trump-Hating Leftist Socialist Democrats Waste No Time: Day 1 - Impeachment Introduced in House

[Cecilie1200]

No evidence of a crime having been committed worthy of investigation let alone a special counsel

No evidence of a crime committed by the President

No official finding yet filed by Mueller

...yet the Democrats, who have abandoned any attempt to hide their partisan hatred for the President who defeated their felon candidate in 2008 wasted no time in introducing Articles of Impeachment.

Democrat introducing impeachment measure against Trump on first day of new Congress

A California congressman is introducing articles of impeachment against President Trump on Thursday -- the first day of the new Democratic majority in the House.



"Rep. Brad Sherman is reintroducing the impeachment articles that he first filed in 2017 with Democratic co-sponsor Rep. Al Green of Texas, a spokesman said.

“He will be introducing the same articles he introduced last year once the House is in session this afternoon,” Sherman spokesman Shane Seaver told Fox News.

The move is one of several indications that despite the go-slow approach of Democratic leadership, some in the rank-and-file will be eager to launch impeachment proceedings now that they're in the majority. A Detroit Free Press op-ed co-authored by incoming Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib, of Michigan, said the House does not need to wait for the outcome of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's Russia probe "before moving forward now with an inquiry in the U.S. House of Representatives on whether the president has committed impeachable 'high crimes and misdemeanors' against the state".

As with Brett Kavanaugh, Democrats have declared the President to be GUILTY UNTIL PROVEN INNOCENT. No evidence of guilt is required - they have their pitch forks, they have their torches, and they are filled with hate....


'Nuff said...

So did she submit a paper that actually had, "He has to go, because we hate him, and Hillary should have won, WAAAAAHHHH!!!" on it?

starting investigations on people does not prove guilt, just ask Hillary, Bill, or Barak.... who have been investigated from here, to high heaven!

investigations usually net ''not guilty'' by those being investigated...

if there is nothing there, Trump will be fine....

The cases of Flynn and Popodopolous already proved that theory wrong, dipstick.

Flynn broke many laws... in addition to lying to official investigators...

Papadopoulis lied to official investigators, which also broke the law.

You have probably broken many laws. The laws Flynn broke normally only involve paying a fine.

 

[dudmuck]

You just had a super majority for the past two years.

As for whether impeachment is warranted or not, who do think "individual 1" is?

Do you have any idea what a super majority is?

When the same party has all three branches, there is effectively no difference.
You guys still dont know who "individual 1" is?

You loons don't remember who controls the Senate. Without it you're wasting your time.

Dopes

Its sora like when Republicans repealed obamacare some 50 times.
I pointless effort used as a sort of proving your position; attempting to do the things your base voted you in for.

But in this case now , its based on upholding the constitution and rule of law. Also, to show that the senate is not.

They don't have an impeachable offense, loon.

Good grief you're a bunch of tards

1
Obstructing Justice

• After taking office, Trump asked FBI Director James Comey to abandon the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election—which the FBI had already connected to Michael Flynn.
• When Comey refused to alter course, Trump fired him.
• Trump then admitted the firing was over “the Russia thing” in a televised interview.
• In a tweet months later, he stated that he “had to fire Michael Flynn because he lied to the FBI”— further affirming that he dismissed James Comey in an attempt to quash the FBI’s investigation.

Bottom line: Trump has repeatedly attempted to interfere in the Russia investigation, and admitted as much—that’s a clear case of obstructing justice.

2
Violating the Emoluments Clause of the U.S. Constitution

• The Constitution’s Foreign Emoluments Clause prohibits the president from accepting personal benefits from any foreign government or official.
• Trump has retained his ownership interests in his family business while he is in office.
• Thus, every time a foreign official stays at a Trump hotel, or a foreign government approves a new Trump Organization project, or grants a trademark, Trump is in violation of the Constitution.
  • For example: shortly after he was sworn into office, the Chinese government
    gave preliminary approval to 38 trademarks of Trump’s name. Then, in June, China approved nine Donald Trump trademarks they had previously rejected.
• And every time he goes to golf at a Trump property, he funnels taxpayer money into his family business—violating the Domestic Emoluments Clause.

Bottom line: Because Trump never divested from his business interests, he violates the Constitution every time the Trump Organization has business dealings with foreign or American government officials.

3
Conspiring with Others to Commit Crimes Against the United States, and Attempting to Conceal Those Violations

• In the middle of the 2016 election, Trump’s son was invited to meet with a Russian national regarding “information that would incriminate Hillary and…would be very useful to” Donald Trump
• The Russian, Natalia Veselnitskaya, had ties to high-ranking Kremlin officials.
• Trump Jr. took the meeting. He said, “I love it,” when told Veselnitskaya may have had dirt on Clinton. Paul Manafort and Jared Kushner also attended.
• Federal law prohibits campaigns from soliciting anything of value from a foreign national.
• After journalists broke this story, Trump personally dictated a public statement on behalf of his son that lied about the intended purpose of the meeting.
• This relationship between the Trump team and the Russian national raises questions of whether the campaign aided a hostile foreign power’s active operation against the United States.

Bottom line: Trump tried to cover up his campaign’s contacts with a Russian national—which, at very least, constituted a violation of federal law.

4
Advocating Violence and Undermining Equal Protection Under the Law

• When Trump gave cover to the neo-Nazis who rioted in Charlottesville and murdered a protester, he violated his obligation to protect the citizenry against domestic violence.
• When Trump encouraged police officers to rough up people they have under arrest, he violated his obligation to oversee faithful execution of the laws.
• When Trump shared anti-Muslim content on Twitter, he violated his obligation to uphold equal protection of the laws.
• This represents a pattern of disregard for some of the president’s basic responsibilities as defined by the Constitution.

Bottom line: Trump has demonstrated a pattern of behavior amounting to advocating violence, undercutting equal protection, and, as a result, failing basic Constitutional duties.

5
Abusing the Pardon Power

• President Trump’s decision to pardon Joe Arpaio amounted to an abuse of the pardon power that revealed his indifference to individual rights and equal protections.
• Joe Arpaio was convicted for contempt of court after ignoring a court order that he stop detaining and searching people based on the color of their skin, which constitutes a violation of their rights.
• Pardoning this conviction goes against the Fifth Amendment, which allows the judiciary to issue and enforce injunctions against government officials who flout individual rights.

Bottom line: Trump’s pardon of Joe Arpaio violates the Fifth Amendment and harms the guarantee of Constitutional rights.

6
Engaging in Conduct that Grossly Endangers the Peace and Security of the United States

• High-ranking administration officials involved in foreign affairs have signaled that Trump does not have the capacity to make informed decisions in the event of a military crisis.
• Even worse, his actions could spark a needless confrontation stemming from misunderstanding or miscalculation.
• We see this in full effect every time Trump tweets or makes a public statement taunting and threatening the North Korean regime.
• The president may be the “Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States,” but that does not give him the right to behave in reckless or wanton ways that put millions of lives at risk.
• If he is unfit to perform his duties as Commander in Chief, he cannot be allowed to remain in the position.

Bottom line: Trump cannot be permitted to recklessly and needlessly endanger millions of Americans with his unstable behavior.

7
Directing Law Enforcement to Investigate and Prosecute Political Adversaries for Improper and Unjustifiable Purposes

• President Trump has repeatedly pressured the Department of Justice and the FBI to investigate and prosecute political adversaries like Hillary Clinton.
• This is not based in concerns with national security, law enforcement, or any other function of his office—it is an attempted power play, plain and simple.
• There’s no question that this constitutes an outrageous and inappropriate abuse of executive branch powers and serves as clear grounds for impeachment.

Bottom line: Trump’s threats against political opponents are threats against American democracy.

8
Undermining the Freedom of the Press

• President Trump has repeatedly attacked the concept of an independent press.
• He’s called critical coverage “fake news” and journalists “the enemy of the American people,” made threats to change libel laws and revoke licenses, and his battles with CNN led him to try to interfere in the AT&T/Time Warner merger.
• This demonstrates his unwillingness to respect and uphold the Constitution, and disdain for the crucial foundations to our free society.

Bottom line: Trump’s threats against freedom of the press are also threats against American democracy.

Thanks to Free Speech for People, whose white paper, ‘The Legal Case for a Congressional Investigation on Whether to Impeach President Donald J. Trump,’ served as the basis for this list.
9
Cruelly and Unconstitutionally Imprisoning Children and their Families

• Enforcing its new “zero tolerance” policy, the Trump administration separated as many as 3,000 immigrant children from their parents at the southern border. This policy was meant to deter families from attempting to cross the border.
• The children and their families have been held in internment camps and cages with what lawyers call “inhumane conditions”
• Due to negligence, the Trump administration has no plan to reunite all children with their families, even deporting some parents while their children remain detained.

Bottom line: Trump’s policy endangers thousands of immigrant children and families, and defies basic Constitutional values

• The children and their families have been held in internment camps and cages with what lawyers call “inhumane conditions”
• Due to negligence, the Trump administration has no plan to reunite all children with their families, even deporting some parents while their children remain detained.

Bottom line: Trump’s policy endangers thousands of immigrant children and families, and defies basic Constitutional values

"Trump’s policy endangers thousands of immigrant children and families, and defies basic Constitutional values."


The President's refusal to allow criminal illegals violate our existing Immigration laws and his stand with Americans to ensure our national sovereignty, border security, and protection of US citizens endangers thousands of illegals who made the decision to / who chose to make the long dangerous journey with the intent of entering our country illegally?

SUPER MAJORITY FOR THE GOP IN 2020 HERE WE COME!

You just had a super majority for the past two years.

As for whether impeachment is warranted or not, who do think "individual 1" is?

Do you have any idea what a super majority is?

When the same party has all three branches, there is effectively no difference.
You guys still dont know who "individual 1" is?

Clinton's first two years before the Repub revolution of 1994 belies that. Lots of manufacturing jobs started to leave here. W. inherited a stock market collapse at the end of the Clinton administration and 9/11. The baby boomer generation were not spending anymore as they were getting older. Also, warnings of a housing recession turned into a bust because the congress did not heed his warnings and even gave loans to people who never paid a bill in their life. Obama used artificially low interest rates and massive military cuts to impoverish tens of millions of more Americans. Also saddled people struggling with massive healthcare increases with the atrocious Obamacare law. And Trump is trying to return wealth and higher paying jobs here. You better hope he succeeds. He deserves an opportunity.

You loons don't remember who controls the Senate. Without it you're wasting your time.

Its sora like when Republicans repealed obamacare some 50 times.
I pointless effort used as a sort of proving your position; attempting to do the things your base voted you in for.

But in this case now , its based on upholding the constitution and rule of law. Also, to show that the senate is not.

They don't have an impeachable offense, loon.

Good grief you're a bunch of tards

Obstructing Justice

• After taking office, Trump asked FBI Director James Comey to abandon the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election—which the FBI had already connected to Michael Flynn.
• When Comey refused to alter course, Trump fired him.
• Trump then admitted the firing was over “the Russia thing” in a televised interview.
• In a tweet months later, he stated that he “had to fire Michael Flynn because he lied to the FBI”— further affirming that he dismissed James Comey in an attempt to quash the FBI’s investigation.

Bottom line: Trump has repeatedly attempted to interfere in the Russia investigation, and admitted as much—that’s a clear case of obstructing justice.

2
Violating the Emoluments Clause of the U.S. Constitution

• The Constitution’s Foreign Emoluments Clause prohibits the president from accepting personal benefits from any foreign government or official.
• Trump has retained his ownership interests in his family business while he is in office.
• Thus, every time a foreign official stays at a Trump hotel, or a foreign government approves a new Trump Organization project, or grants a trademark, Trump is in violation of the Constitution.
  • For example: shortly after he was sworn into office, the Chinese government
    gave preliminary approval to 38 trademarks of Trump’s name. Then, in June, China approved nine Donald Trump trademarks they had previously rejected.
• And every time he goes to golf at a Trump property, he funnels taxpayer money into his family business—violating the Domestic Emoluments Clause.

Bottom line: Because Trump never divested from his business interests, he violates the Constitution every time the Trump Organization has business dealings with foreign or American government officials.

3
Conspiring with Others to Commit Crimes Against the United States, and Attempting to Conceal Those Violations

• In the middle of the 2016 election, Trump’s son was invited to meet with a Russian national regarding “information that would incriminate Hillary and…would be very useful to” Donald Trump
• The Russian, Natalia Veselnitskaya, had ties to high-ranking Kremlin officials.
• Trump Jr. took the meeting. He said, “I love it,” when told Veselnitskaya may have had dirt on Clinton. Paul Manafort and Jared Kushner also attended.
• Federal law prohibits campaigns from soliciting anything of value from a foreign national.
• After journalists broke this story, Trump personally dictated a public statement on behalf of his son that lied about the intended purpose of the meeting.
• This relationship between the Trump team and the Russian national raises questions of whether the campaign aided a hostile foreign power’s active operation against the United States.

Bottom line: Trump tried to cover up his campaign’s contacts with a Russian national—which, at very least, constituted a violation of federal law.

4
Advocating Violence and Undermining Equal Protection Under the Law

• When Trump gave cover to the neo-Nazis who rioted in Charlottesville and murdered a protester, he violated his obligation to protect the citizenry against domestic violence.
• When Trump encouraged police officers to rough up people they have under arrest, he violated his obligation to oversee faithful execution of the laws.
• When Trump shared anti-Muslim content on Twitter, he violated his obligation to uphold equal protection of the laws.
• This represents a pattern of disregard for some of the president’s basic responsibilities as defined by the Constitution.

Bottom line: Trump has demonstrated a pattern of behavior amounting to advocating violence, undercutting equal protection, and, as a result, failing basic Constitutional duties.

5
Abusing the Pardon Power

• President Trump’s decision to pardon Joe Arpaio amounted to an abuse of the pardon power that revealed his indifference to individual rights and equal protections.
• Joe Arpaio was convicted for contempt of court after ignoring a court order that he stop detaining and searching people based on the color of their skin, which constitutes a violation of their rights.
• Pardoning this conviction goes against the Fifth Amendment, which allows the judiciary to issue and enforce injunctions against government officials who flout individual rights.

Bottom line: Trump’s pardon of Joe Arpaio violates the Fifth Amendment and harms the guarantee of Constitutional rights.

6
Engaging in Conduct that Grossly Endangers the Peace and Security of the United States

• High-ranking administration officials involved in foreign affairs have signaled that Trump does not have the capacity to make informed decisions in the event of a military crisis.
• Even worse, his actions could spark a needless confrontation stemming from misunderstanding or miscalculation.
• We see this in full effect every time Trump tweets or makes a public statement taunting and threatening the North Korean regime.
• The president may be the “Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States,” but that does not give him the right to behave in reckless or wanton ways that put millions of lives at risk.
• If he is unfit to perform his duties as Commander in Chief, he cannot be allowed to remain in the position.

Bottom line: Trump cannot be permitted to recklessly and needlessly endanger millions of Americans with his unstable behavior.

7
Directing Law Enforcement to Investigate and Prosecute Political Adversaries for Improper and Unjustifiable Purposes

• President Trump has repeatedly pressured the Department of Justice and the FBI to investigate and prosecute political adversaries like Hillary Clinton.
• This is not based in concerns with national security, law enforcement, or any other function of his office—it is an attempted power play, plain and simple.
• There’s no question that this constitutes an outrageous and inappropriate abuse of executive branch powers and serves as clear grounds for impeachment.

Bottom line: Trump’s threats against political opponents are threats against American democracy.

8
Undermining the Freedom of the Press

• President Trump has repeatedly attacked the concept of an independent press.
• He’s called critical coverage “fake news” and journalists “the enemy of the American people,” made threats to change libel laws and revoke licenses, and his battles with CNN led him to try to interfere in the AT&T/Time Warner merger.
• This demonstrates his unwillingness to respect and uphold the Constitution, and disdain for the crucial foundations to our free society.

Bottom line: Trump’s threats against freedom of the press are also threats against American democracy.

No evidence of a crime having been committed worthy of investigation let alone a special counsel

No evidence of a crime committed by the President

No official finding yet filed by Mueller

...yet the Democrats, who have abandoned any attempt to hide their partisan hatred for the President who defeated their felon candidate in 2008 wasted no time in introducing Articles of Impeachment.

Democrat introducing impeachment measure against Trump on first day of new Congress

A California congressman is introducing articles of impeachment against President Trump on Thursday -- the first day of the new Democratic majority in the House.



"Rep. Brad Sherman is reintroducing the impeachment articles that he first filed in 2017 with Democratic co-sponsor Rep. Al Green of Texas, a spokesman said.

“He will be introducing the same articles he introduced last year once the House is in session this afternoon,” Sherman spokesman Shane Seaver told Fox News.

The move is one of several indications that despite the go-slow approach of Democratic leadership, some in the rank-and-file will be eager to launch impeachment proceedings now that they're in the majority. A Detroit Free Press op-ed co-authored by incoming Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib, of Michigan, said the House does not need to wait for the outcome of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's Russia probe "before moving forward now with an inquiry in the U.S. House of Representatives on whether the president has committed impeachable 'high crimes and misdemeanors' against the state".

As with Brett Kavanaugh, Democrats have declared the President to be GUILTY UNTIL PROVEN INNOCENT. No evidence of guilt is required - they have their pitch forks, they have their torches, and they are filled with hate....

Bottom line: Trump’s threats against political opponents are threats against American democracy.

Undermining the Freedom of the Press

• President Trump has repeatedly attacked the concept of an independent press.
• He’s called critical coverage “fake news” and journalists “the enemy of the American people,” made threats to change libel laws and revoke licenses, and his battles with CNN led him to try to interfere in the AT&T/Time Warner merger.
• This demonstrates his unwillingness to respect and uphold the Constitution, and disdain for the crucial foundations to our free society.

Bottom line: Trump’s threats against freedom of the press are also threats against American democracy.

Thanks to Free Speech for People, whose white paper, ‘The Legal Case for a Congressional Investigation on Whether to Impeach President Donald J. Trump,’ served as the basis for this list.

Cruelly and Unconstitutionally Imprisoning Children and their Families

• Enforcing its new “zero tolerance” policy, the Trump administration separated as many as 3,000 immigrant children from their parents at the southern border. This policy was meant to deter families from attempting to cross the border.
• The children and their families have been held in internment camps and cages with what lawyers call “inhumane conditions”
• Due to negligence, the Trump administration has no plan to reunite all children with their families, even deporting some parents while their children remain detained.

Bottom line: Trump’s policy endangers thousands of immigrant children and families, and defies basic Constitutional values

"Trump’s policy endangers thousands of immigrant children and families, and defies basic Constitutional values."


The President's refusal to allow criminal illegals violate our existing Immigration laws and his stand with Americans to ensure our national sovereignty, border security, and protection of US citizens endangers thousands of illegals who made the decision to / who chose to make the long dangerous journey with the intent of entering our country illegally?

Thank you for the great example of how snowflakes eat, live, and breathe 'emotion', make decisions emotionally rather than based on facts / laws, and are thus easily emotionally manipulated.

Gruber and the Democrats hope you stay just the way you are.

You only addressed 1 of the 9 items, but for this item you need to understand U.S. Refugee Law and Policy.
For the other 8 items, they stand as grounds for impeachment?

I could have addressed all 9 but why itemize when you can use 1 to sum up how stupid they all are / were...

Well then, perfect product made just for you

Nice cartoon and 'projection'. Don't look now but they are calling you back to the kid's table. Run along and let the grown-ups talk.

They should be directed to health care professionals to deal with the TDS.

And then to Mexico, the country they stand for.

Doubt it would be a problem, considering Trump's impeachment is just as popular as Trump himself.
