Pelosi’s headache comes to life: Green files articles of impeachment; Update: Vote today by 5 ET?

Ed MorrisseyPosted at 10:01 am on July 17, 2019

One way or another, the House of Representatives will finally have to act in some manner on impeaching Donald Trump. After threatening to do so ever since Trump took office, Rep. Al Green (D-TX) filed articles of impeachment last night, citing Trump’s tweets about four frosh Democrats as a “high misdemeanor.”  This opens up the very can of worms that Nancy Pelosi had worked hard for months to keep closed, in hopes of avoiding an electoral nightmare that would result from a hyperpoliticized attempt to reverse the 2016 election.


It’s not as if Pelosi can ignore it, either. House rules require a response to a privileged motion, which Green knows full well:

I have a feeling democrats are going to really regret their impulsivity.  I'm sure the Trump team as planning for this for quite some time. :yowsa:

This should effectively inoculate Trump from any further impeachment efforts, barring something truly catastrophic, like Trump on tape giving the nuclear codes to Putin.

I think Trump wanted this to happen. Something tells me that Pelosi has no control over the House.

I think you are absolutely correct.  Pelosi has lost control to the snot-nosed socialists.  Her very first mistake was to defend these bat crap crazies and she did so from the very beginning.  She should have publicly corrected them and humiliated them and put them back in their place; instead she catered to them.  I predict Nancy will step down and one of the fab four will take her place.  At that point the House/DEMS will become the party of socialists.

It's Nancy's own fault for pandering to those in her own party who are out of line because of political correctness.

Actually, as much as I don't like Pelosi, the fact that she has lost control over her own party due to those of Muslim decent with a socialistic agenda is quite troubling.
Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

She did not pander because of political correctness. She pandered because she is old, and doddering, and afraid. She want to be one of them, a part of their group. She was trying to be one of the 'cool kids' and failed miserably.

So they want to impeach him over exercising his First Amendment right of free speech.  It should be interesting to see who votes in favor of that.

Yes, impeachment can't happen due to what he "says"; his "action/actions" can get him impeached and convicted if he violated a law/laws.

Impeachment probably could happen based on what he says - it’s a “political question” that is up to Congress - however, the odds of a conviction for what he said are vanishingly small.

   Nancy would be the third House Speaker in a row to just say screw em and walk away for some cush lobbyist job, if she quit.  /JS

I think you may be right. I thought that San Fran Nan could get this under control. No longer.

She's old...nothing wrong with that. I am myself. But there has to be somebody in that cursed party that can get this under control.  On the other hand...it is kind of fun watching this circus.

NEVER going to happen. Impulse and stupidity are all they have. We ain't talking regular "stupid" here,we are talking "stoopid".

Huh? It was freaking inevitable! There was nothing else that COULD happen. This has been in the making for a couple of decades now,and the only surprise to ME is that it happened this early,before the Dims were solidly in control.

Frankly,I will be surprised if the left doesn't end up calling for revolution in the streets and the deaths of white people before the next election. The sooner this happens,the better it is for the survival of America.

Being old is not Pelosi's primary vulnerability in Leftist circles. The problem is that she doesn't have any of the Liberal Leftists' get out of jail free cards. She is White. She is not homosexual or transgender. She has bizarrely for a Leftist, openly praised her Catholicism, and Christian beliefs. On the Left, you are only allowed to be Islamic or Satanic or East Asia Religions, but never Christian.

The Left has a very strict hierarchy of 'victimhood'.
1. Color of your skin
2. Sexual preference
3. Nationality <- everything except any perceived "White" country.
America, Australia, Canada, Great Britain, Scandinavia, Eastern Europe, among others do not count
4. A big super-rich donor to Leftist causes <- such as Soros, Weinstein, Buffett, among others

Pelosi doesn't have any of these. She has no Leftist 'ammunition' to leverage against them. She has the 'female card', but Leftists frequently ignore this if it is someone they do not like. They only use the 'female' thing when they can use it against the Right. It doesn't really apply to the Left.

Essentially, Pelosi is an old, White, self declared Christian American. This makes her 'the enemy' to a large percentage of the Left. Especially to the wave of young brown women who are new to Congress. They don't play by the old rules Pelosi is used to. These new girls don't even know or care what the old rules are.

They are not even 'real' Democrats. They only chose to run as a Democrat because there was no other Party choice for them.

She's got to have some semblance of power, because the vote to impeach failed.

Speaker's main function is to bring the votes to HER side.

House votes to kill Rep. Al Green's resolution to impeach Trump
Andrew O'Reilly
By Andrew O'Reilly | Fox News

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/house-al-green-resolution-impeach-trump

  The House of Representatives on Wednesday voted to set aside a resolution by Rep. Al Green, D-Texas, to introduce article of impeachment against President Trump – the third time the Houston-area lawmaker has taken a shot at impeaching the president, but the first since Democrats regained control of the House.

Lawmakers voted 332-95 to table Green’s resolution, which was widely opposed by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and other top Democrats worried that the measure would force vulnerable swing-district lawmakers into peril ahead of the 2020 elections. The bipartisan vote shelved any chance of bringing forth articles of impeachment against Trump in the near future.

Setting it aside until Mueller and the RATS on that Committee get their rehearsal down pat for his upcoming testimony.   :smokin:

THANK YOU MR. GREEN!!  888high58888   DUMBASS!!

Once again, as usual, something everyone said was a disastrous mistake by President Trump, winds up in his favor.
