Texas Democrat Introduces Articles of Impeachment Against Trump

[PJMEDIA] The latest move from the Democrats' secret campaign to help reelect Trump came Tuesday evening, first with the absurd vote to condemn President Trump for "racist" comments made against anti-Semitic and anti-American congressmwomen. But, for Texas congressman Al Green, that wasn't enough. Green has been aggressively pushing for impeachment; on Monday he promised during a Facebook Live press conference to force an impeachment vote.

"I'm here to indicate to the world that to tolerate bigotry is to perpetuate bigotry, especially when you can do something about it [...] I'm a member of the House of Representatives, and I as a member can do something about it," Green said. "Each member of the House of Representatives can bring articles of impeachment to the floor of the House of Representatives. I'm here today to tell you, again, to bring articles of impeachment to the floor of the House of Representatives. I will do so by the end of this month."

Well, apparently he was more anxious to move on with it because he didn't wait for the end of the month. He made his third attempt at forcing a vote on impeachment the following evening after the House passed the resolution condemning Trump.

Texas Rep. Al Green has introduced articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump, potentially forcing a vote this week on whether to remove the president from office.

The vote would come too soon for most Democrats, as a majority of the caucus appears to oppose impeachment, for now. But Green is seeking to capitalize on a growing sentiment for impeachment in the wake of Trump's racist tweets over the weekend.

Green introduced the measure shortly after the House voted to condemn Trump for tweets that four Democratic congresswomen should "go back" to their home countries. All are Americans. Green said Tuesday that Trump is unfit for office and "enough is enough."

Like his previous attempts, Rep. Green's latest push for impeachment is likely to go nowhere. Polls have shown that a majority of voters oppose impeachment, and the Democrat establishment are certainly aware that impeaching Trump would backfire on them.
I see the "I am relevant and this temper tantrum I'm throwing shows that you need to pay attention to MEEEEEE!" train of thought is still alive and well.

Congratulations on keeping up the Re-Elect Trump train going!

#2 the text of Rep Green's articles of impeachment is here and below

interestingly, it doesn't actually say which Trump action is a crime or misdemeanor, in fact in the preamble to the articles state that it doesn't matter if there is no crime

#7 I'm glad he did it. Now every congress critter will have to get off the fence and vote, just before they go out for reelection. The timing is perfect. The entire congress will be forced into a hate trump, support socialism, or support trump..

#10 Green apparently introduced similar articles of impeachment in 2017 and 2018. They were similar in failing to articulate any crimes or 'high' misdemeanors.

At the time, the WaPo and the NYTimes gave it the brushoff, perhaps they were waiting for the Mueller report to find some crime. I doubt either of these papers, or the Chi Trib or the LA Times or any of the big circulation dailies will support this.

#11 From the New York Times’ Thomas Friedman: ‘Trump’s Going to Get Re-elected, Isn’t He?’

It’s enough to wring tears of laughter from a stone.

#12 It's got some real choice segments.

That doesn’t mean a Democratic candidate should stand for nothing, just keep it simple

when the wealth of the top 1 percent equals that of the bottom 90 percent, we do have to redivide the pie.

#13 They were similar in failing to articulate any crimes or 'high' misdemeanors.

So we have a Congresscritter who's somehow dumber than AOC? Amazing.

#16 The guy's obviously a double agent working to get Trump re-elected.

Note that the allegation is "bigotry." He's saying in effect that criticism of these 4 racist nitwits = a high crime.

This loony logic is guaranteed to turn out the base for Trump - AND persuade independents who don't care for Trump that the alternative is far worse: Why wouldn't these people come after ANYONE who dares to publicly criticize Omar, Tlaib and Cortez?

#17 P2K, and unfortunately, it looks like they'll get their wish. They will literally give us no choice but to shoot them; as in, we're shooting back.
