Texas representative, Al Green, a liberal lawmaker, says he’ll force the House to vote Wednesday on impeaching President Donald Trump. Despite suggestions from the Republicans and Democrats that he let it go, Green says he’s going to move forward anyway.
Green says in a letter that he’s wanting a vote on impeachment because “we now have a bigot in the White House who incites hatred and hostility.” But, even other Democrats agree that there is no evidence of impeachable offenses. House minority leader Nancy Pelosi even said that any impeachment effort should await hard evidence Trump has committed an impeachable offense.
According to USA Today, Green’s resolution accuses Trump of causing “harm to American society.” It cites his support for banning Muslim immigrants and comments defending participants in a white supremacists’ rally after this year’s riot in Charlottesville, Virginia. Green also argued that Trump’s conduct in the White House (while admittedly not criminal) had amounted to “high misdemeanor” and warranted removal from the Oval Office. “For too long, we have allowed our civility to prevent us from confronting the invidious incivility of President Donald J. Trump,” he said.
Tonight, I released the Articles of Impeachment. Tomorrow, the House will vote on the impeachment of Donald J. Trump. (Stay Tuned) #RepealAndReplaceTrump https://t.co/8PUe4zboCX

But his impeachment vote doesn’t have a chance at succeeding. Even if a majority of the House votes to impeach the president, the Senate would need a 2/3 majority in order for the motion to pass. Republicans control both houses right now.
Other Democrats have warned the prematurity of this vote could hinder any future chances of impeachment. Isn’t it fascinating how now Democrats are suddenly concerned with the Constitution and Trump’s alleged violations thereof? They gave Barack Obama unbridled power and now that it’s in the hands of someone they dislike, they melt down.
“In doing this, hatred disguised as acceptable political correctness has festered in our body politic and polluted our discourse to our detriment,” Green said. “It divides and damages the social fabric of our country in ways that obstruction of justice cannot. It causes unparalleled destruction to our society in the long- and short-term that will not easily heal.” Green had pressed for a vote on articles of impeachment back in October, but pressure from fellow Democrats stopped him from moving forward.

wow. project much, al green? go back to singing soul music.
It is difficult to believe that we would allow an ape to be making any decisions whatsoever.
Rep. Green is gonna hafta bring a lunch.
They want to impeach Trump, because…?
Maybe they are unaware, that the fact that they do not like him, is not sufficient reason to impeach him.
It is way past time to put a stop to this crap.
I’m so fed up with these scum bags who do nothing but whine….no wonder our gov’t can’t get squat done. Useless eaters there, too.
Here is a though: HANG that stupid ass son of a bitch Green from TX!! This utter garbage has got to stop! these liberal pukes to the Left just get over the fact that TRUMP won, get over it you sad ass bitches.
Maybe someone ought to look into Green’s background huh?
I could really give a fck
Donald Trump has signed on to the War Powers Act. He is a dictator. The War Powers Act has removed our common law courts and our Bill of Rights. We are subject slaves under Donald Trump. Is it all right with you that he is responsible for holding our Bill of Rights in an illegal injunction?
We are occupied still
we are just as screwed no matter what party “wins” .. DJT isnt saving this country’s Republic , hes playing along with the TPTB..the shell game is still getting played on a lot of people who think this guy is our savior..the only saviors to this country are Patriots that will not bow to the dollar or another country running our show , and those types are rare today, and not one is in the seat of this so called government
Just to make my self clear to everyone here
I support No Party..I am against the Democrats and the Republicans, I only support those who support our Original plan for our Republic, I dont see any in current government
and we are NOT Citizens.. we are US Nationals
a citizen is a subject ,,i am not a subject for this government to dictate its ways to
so many unawake people ..so little time III%
Michigan Wolverine, Great posts. I agree with you 100%. Both of your posts, btw.
Slaves do not own 100 million guns and 8 trillion rounds of ammo.
good point but you’re a little low….based just on SALES AND BACKGROUND CHECKS IT’S EASILY OVER 300 MILLION GUNS…but still a good point
how many of you voted?
This country is occupied , our Government is occupied
to vote in an election by an occupation , is Treason
what we have in DC is Not Our Government , no matter which party is the head of the game .. our Government is and has been occupied
it should be Game on for We the People … when will it occur,, will it ever occur ..will ever enough people wake up pissed off enough to do what has to be done..or will we as a nation be done , because of complacency ? and sheepledom …
meet the new boss, same as the old boss
“how many of you voted?”
Not me … reason being … if I voted – it automatically makes me an accessory to the crimes that they are about to commit.
I can’t allow that to be on my conscience.
Silence is complicity, which is a sin in the eyes of God.
Let THAT work on your conscience.
“Silence is complicity”
By not voting, is not silence. The “SYSTEM” is beyond corrupt, it does not benefit me or you or anybody else but themselves (politicians).
I will not engage in a fraudulent SYSTEM that does NOT work for WE THE PEOPLE.
“which is a sin in the eyes of God.”
As a NON-DEITY man-made up worshiper … I am at ease with my conscience – thanks for your concern for my well-being.
Thank you FTW
Some are just too thick to get it
And the programming shows that it works on so many
there was no silence, they heard us loud and clear
my conscience is clear
yours however, is suspect
God (a generic term) bless the USA (corporation) with freedom (never has existed) and justice (just us) for all (all the .001%).
I didn’t vote for the same reason, FTW. Although for me, I felt that voting would make me a part of their Satanic ritual and would lend my energy to it, no matter which side I chose.
(Look at the stars on the Republican elephant. They weren’t like that until Bush jr. had them changed.)
hey wolfie???? I not ONLY voted, I gave 1000 bucks last election to candidates I wanted to win, some did, some didn’t, I ALSO passed out flyers and sat on a call bank making calls for said candidates. I ALSO go to as many townhalls and meetings as I can and have more than once embarrassed the “officials” by making points and asking questions they can’t answer. SO HOW ABOUT YOU WOLFIE? HOW MANY OF THOSE THINGS HAVE YOU DONE?????? I’m hoping all, but I’m betting NONE……………….just sayin
This is the same Al Green who was having sex with a staffer, then sued her. The UK’s Daily Mail summarized it as such: “The congressman was accused of assaulting Lucinda Daniels, his onetime district director, in 2007. He filed a lawsuit against her the following year, arguing they’d had a consensual ‘romantic encounter’ and she was simply trying to shake him down for $1.8 million with the false allegations. Green then withdrew his lawsuit after Daniels dropped her claims he assaulted her.” http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5124929/Texas-congressman-issues-statement-old-allegations.html#ixzz50UUQW62X
Y’know… just the usual from the sleazy, avaricious, amoral left.
trump should body slam fukn liberals and get it over with
Congress passes statutes, Laws are observations in physics and mathematics that have been proven to be 100% REPEATABLE by definition. ergo he is not a ‘lawmaker’, you’re only confusing the reader w/ government jargon.
MI Wolverine is spot on.
You think things today are all fucked up, wait until the non-gender, obese, brain-dead, lazy entitlement fascist, 20-somethings take over. When ever a sane person states a position based upon indisputable scientific fact, the 20-somethings will always take the opposite opinion — but they demand everyone to accept their unfounded opinion as absolute fact, and failure to convert to their bullshit position shall result in labeling you as a fascist racist. They are what they accuse others of. Something needs to be done to get the 20-somethings back to working 40 hour a week jobs. Make the children test to qualify for college, you’ll need a 95% to qualify regardless of sex, race and illegal alienship status. I say ban all entitlements to all able bodied 18-62 year olds. Why does the legal citizen American working taxpayer feed these 20-something scum bags? The parent(s) failed to discipline their little Lucifers.
“For too long, we have allowed our civility to prevent us from confronting the invidious incivility of President Donald J. Trump,” Green said.
Go to a movie theater, library, buffet, shopping mall, coke machine, payphone, restroom or bus bench.
Liberals were being civil, there? Your civility prevents you from confrontation?
Democrat Lawmaker Will Try To Force The House To Vote To Impeach Trump TODAY
Attempting to impeach Trump is like … trying to force Hillary Clinton into prison. — Neither scenario will happen.
Then again … then theres this chaotic move that Trump is getting ready to do.
“Declaration Of War”: Trump Jerusalem Decision Sparks Outrage, Warning Of “A Fire With No End In Sight” – The Daily Sheeple
Today at 1 pm, president Trump will announce the U.S. recognizes Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, but will sign a waiver delaying the relocation of the U.S. embassy from Tel Aviv to there for 6 months. Trump’s decision to unilaterally recognize Jerusalem upends decades of American policy in the Middle East and risks inflaming violence in an already-tense region. And sure enough, the announcement prompted an immediate – and furious – response sparking Arab, Muslim and European opposition to a move that would upend decades of U.S. policy and risk potentially violent protests.
I foresee unimaginable, high levels of violence occur in this region if this does indeed take place.
I see the violence from the islamic savages increasing everywhere. The best outcome here in the USA is patriots having a reason to hunt and kill all scum muslim vermin. It will become the only option at some point. We all know where some are.
You focus too much on these inhabitants “scum muslim vermin”.
After all – it was certain Politicians that allowed some of these undesirables into the country – on purpose!
Common Sense tells me – rid these types of Politicians, and things of this nature will not happen in the future. That is where the focus should and always be, not necessarily the problems that they create for us.
Unfortunately we must deal with the scum politicians cannon fodder. I agree they should be killed too, but the islamic savages will be the ones out here killing us. So no, I’m not focusing on the wrong thing.
Uhhh, who is Trump to say what the capitol is in is real hell?
Never heard of him.
WORLD WAR SOMETIME IN 2018.
ARE YOU PREPARED ?
DO YOU WANT TO KNOW MORE????
Absolutely
Please enlighten
If the last POTUS election result is allowed to be turned over by any group – liberal, Democrat, Progressive, socialist, communist, women, gay, ….. – and we do NOT act; then, we’ve lost. I don’t care if someone does or does not like Trump. Whether you voted for him or against him; or, even voted at all. We either all accept the laws of this land as applying to ALL or not. We’re seeing inequality in the application of law, ‘in our faces’, by the same people who now cry for impeachment. We see it daily when due to the choice of profession – law enforcement – the individuals are treated as above the same set of laws that they supposedly are hired to defend and implement. We see it as when those with wealth or power, celebrity or due to connections can get away with literally murder, rape, pederasty, slavery and more. I’m sick of watching this carnival side-show of flagrant lawlessness. For me, IMHO… it’s long past time we got the hose out and watered the tree of liberty.
Hell has frozen over;I agree with Nancy Pelosi on something!!! You should not be able to impeach an American POTUS without an impeachable offense.
“If voting made any difference they wouldn’t let us do it.” Mark Twain
I agree Press 9, and have posted that quote here myself, but you can’t convince many shtf’ers here. They think their vote counted and mattered.
They also still think Trump is going to make good on his promises even though he’s already broken more than half of them, and has also shown us he is for THEM, not US. I am not one to trust liars and bullsh**ters whom I can spot a mile away, but that’s just me.
TPTB installed Trump because they knew he’d go along with their agendas including the New World Order. Otherwise he wouldn’t be POTUS. Hillary certainly would have too, (she’s worse than Trump) and also would have pushed their evil agendas, but maybe TPTB have other plans for her sick, evil ass and selected Trump instead.
All politicians are pos, doesn’t matter if they are a Dumb Dem or a Republican like myself. None of them can be trusted. Believing liars and trusting the untrustworthy always leads to disappointment and danger.
absolutely
Majority of ‘bigots’ I’ve ran into, are on the left.
On another note, he’s not going to be impeached. I seriously doubt that will happen. TPTB want Trump to finish out his term, and finish out his term he will. They selected him for a reason. He’s not going anywhere.
The Delusional Dumb-Dems are dreaming.
And then people wonder why i hate government employees
And many people wonder why I’m such a misentropic individual
We definetly have our reasons , don’t we?
Just another numbskull, knuckle draggin’ nagger who was elected by like kind.
Ever notice how Al Green bears a startling resemblance to the comic strip character cavemen ‘Alley Oop’?
Democrats keep demonstrating their vile nature and stupidity. They just can help it. At least it keeps me politically engaged, and as a result, I haven’t missed a single vote (local, state, or federal) in over 30 years thanks to Democrat insanity. The dumber they act the more anxious I am to make it to the polls on election day.
In 5-10 yrs when this generation is either retired, disabled or dead, and completely out of the political arena as well as Washington DC, the Millennials (such as the likes of the unqualified Ivanka & Jared) will completely take over, have full control with no influence from the more experienced who won’t be around, and we will be screwed beyond belief at that point. This know-it-all self-absorbed, entitlement generation, who are mostly young adults right now, are going to destroy what is left of the country… 5-10 yrs. Done.
Keep doing stupid things lefties. That’s how you lost the last election and that’s how you are going to lose the next election.
