(45,120 posts)Bernie Sanders: It May Well Be Time for an Impeachment Inquiry to Begin
Senator Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) acknowledged on Wednesday that President Trump would relish an impeachment fight, but said congressional Democrats may be forced to pursue that option if the White House continues to stonewall their oversight efforts.
Sanders joins a growing cohort of Democrats who have begun to publicly pressure party leadership to consider opening an impeachment inquiry in response to the administrations refusal to comply with subpoena-backed requests for documents and witness interviews.
To be very honest with you, Jake, I am not sure that this president may not want to be impeached. He may think that it works for him politically. I dont know that, but it wouldnt shock me. I think he is a 100 percent political animal. Doesnt spend a whole lot of time worrying about health care or education, certainly not about climate change. So I dont know what goes on in his mind, Sanders told CNNs Jake Tapper.
But I think if he continues to not understand the constitution of the United States, the separation of powers, the fact that the Congress has every right to subpoena and it is the job of the administration to attend the hearings that the Congress is calling, if he doesnt understand that, it may well be time for an impeachment inquiry to begin, he added. Where the Judiciary Committee begins to determine whether or not there are grounds for impeachment.
at least since May and I believe before that.

(19,204 posts)That comes close to the blatant lawlessness of Trumps administration? I honestly can't think of one, but I'm not an expert in presidential history.

(19,204 posts)I seem to recall Trump was enamored with either Johnson or Jackson, I can't remember which one. Maybe both?

(19,204 posts)Look what he's done to the people of Central America who seek a better life in the U.S. He puts their children in cages and holds adults so long they're eligible for Social Security. Trump has forced them into their own Trail of Tears.

(581 posts)JFK's initiative helped us land a man on the moon.
LBJ's tireless focus helped us pass the civil rights act.
I suppose it is better than "water is wet" or "salt is salty"
Is there a Democrat who doesn't already know and believe that Trump is the most corrupt president in their lifetime?

And I really don't think these kinds of attacks by insinuation are worthy of you and enough is enough. If you've got something to say say, say it directly. But you will not find that I ever changed a view or a vote because of any donation that I have ever received."
