Breaking - Conservative ReTHUGs draw up articles of impeachment for

Rosenstein What the fucking fuck!!!

<snip>
Conservative House allies of President Trump have drafted articles of impeachment against Deputy Attorney General Rod J. Rosenstein, who oversees the ongoing special counsel probe, setting up a possible GOP showdown over the federal investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.

The document, which was obtained by The Washington Post, underscores the growing chasm between congressional Republican leaders, who have maintained for months that special counsel Robert S. Mueller III should be allowed to proceed, and rank-and-file GOP lawmakers who have repeatedly battled the Justice Department during the past year.

The GOP is asking for a more divided America. Party Over Country. This is like a declaration of war against the Dems during the midterms.

Maybe they are setting the scene on purpose. Pelosi is trying to get the Dems to stay away from the impeachment issue since it will harm us more than benefit us. I agree. Smart move. Stick to affordable health care and a real tax cut...voters in both parties agree on these issues. Now, the fucking moron is even saying the Dems want to impeach him during his rally. This is part of the GOP plan. I hope we don't fall for it.

I'd offer them a match. Unfortunately when you have a bunch of blithering idiots in government, it impacts the resort us.

And anyway, how can he be impeached?

I hope he stays strong and abides this, because nothing would be more damning for the GOP than this case.

They know that such articles would not pass the House and there ain't no way in hell there would be a conviction in the Senate.

The only purpose is to throw some red meat to the primary voters.

Specifically, who gets to define it, regardless of laws, or morals, or events that have actually occurred in measurable time and space. Only muscle and determination will win the day.

In one universe, Trump is a “stable genius” who’s done more than any blah blah blah.

In the other, where most folks used to reside, Trump is as lawless as any gangster, and he’s trashing the country left, right and center with his scattershot nihilism. And the people he’s surrounded himself with are inept at best, and destroying democracy while robbing the store blind.
