articles of impeachment filed against Trump

[Open Heart]

Several House Democrats on Wednesday filed articles of impeachment against President Trump, arguing their commitment to voters matters more than party leaders’ fears that the anti-Trump push could backfire.

“Everywhere I go in my district, people are calling for this,” said New York Rep. Adriano Espaillat, one of a handful of House Democrats who joined Tennessee Rep. Steve Cohen in announcing efforts to impeach the Republican president.

Cohen has filed four articles of impeachment accusing Trump of obstruction of justice, illegally profiting while president off domestic and foreign enterprises, and undermining the judiciary system and freedom of the press.

It was 6 loons and has no prayer of even being voted on

I would say this is a waste of time but I don't think House members have any concept of using their time well on either side of the aisle.

 

[ChavaK]

Grandstanding waste of effort.

Well, it is bound to be entertaining.

They (the GOP and Donkey's) would better spend their time putting Hillary behind bars for lying ... similar to the indictment against Martha Stewart.

Martha's conviction resulted in five months of a prison sentence, five months of house arrest, and a full two years of probation afterward. Stewart maintained her innocence the entire time, but was finally confined to the Alderson Federal Prison Camp in West Virginia.

Perhaps, the same cell can be reserved for Hillary at the Alderson Federal Prison Camp.

They'd better spend their time working together trying to solve problems and make life easier for us, rather than fighting each other and Trump.

Except it won't get far enough to be entertaining.

Oh, we may yet get our wish on that one.

The two things I'd like two see before the next election is over: Hillary behind bars, and Trump impeached.

You can have The Right Honourable Jeremy Corbyn, MP., PC., if you need a new President. He has changed his key staff as many times as Mr. Trump has, if not more, actually. The Democrats might like to put his name forward - PLEASE!!

Grandstanding waste of effort.

Not if was for their constituents. "We tried to do it, but were blocked."
That can play well with some kinds of voters.

I think it only plays well with the extreme left who are solidly in their court anyway.
The fact that the politicians know it's a waste of time and is done for their constituents makes it grandstanding when they should do something that's actually productive....if it's possible for
politicians to do something productive, that is.

It has also played well with the right concerning the repeal of Obama-care.

It has also played well with the right concerning the repeal of Obama-care.

Tuesday it was revealed that the Senate has included in the Tax Bill their attempt to repeal ObamaCare's Individual Mandate. Makes one wonder what else has been included. Do they do this just to further stymie any chance of the Tax Bill being approved this year. Makes one wonder why the Senate didn't take this action months ago to improve/repeal ObamaCare.

Senate Makes Bold Move, Includes Repeal of Obamacare’s Individual Mandate in Tax Bill​

Then again maybe enuf Senators are on board and of one accord to solve problems. As ChavaK says, "and make life easier for us, rather than fighting each other and Trump."

"It’s critical that Congress take every opportunity to undo Obamacare’s damage. Repealing the individual mandate is a great place to begin the necessary work of undoing Obamacare regulatory burdens and tax increases that have driven up costs and reduced plan value and availability .

The individual mandate is Obamacare’s requirement that every American enroll in health insurance or be fined. The idea was to push lots of healthier people—who didn’t need or want Obamacare’s expansive, overpriced coverage—to buy those plans in order to subsidize the cost of care for others."

How does repealing the individual mandate reduce the deficit? If you mean the government helping people who are low income being eliminated maybe that would reduce the deficit but you would have to prove even that to me. And it is not the same thing as eliminating the individual mandate.

That would make us look like a third world not-yet-emerging democracy. We do not put the loser of an election in jail.

 

[tampasteve]

We do not put the loser of an election in jail.

We do if there is credible evidence that there was a crime committed, which has not been proven yet but there are some suspicious details that have emerged that warrant to be looked at in more detail. But I also agree, it would look poor to people outside of the system and the country.

 

[Christie insb]

I am curious as to how much money has been spent investigating the Clintons over the years.

More importantly it would get the government out of our private affairs. If we have insurance or not, and what the coverage includes, is something we should have control of. I have paid for my own insurance for the last 35+ years, and it has only been since Obamacare came in that the premiums have sky rocketed. Get the government out of something that is none of their business.
