Texas Dem call for perpetual impeachment of The Orange Man
[Washington Examiner] Texas Rep. Al Green advocated that Democrats continue to pursue impeachment several times if the Senate does not vote to convict President Trump.

On Thursday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced that the House Judiciary Committee would be drafting articles of impeachment as one of the final steps before a full House vote. If the House votes to impeach the president, the process moves over to the Republican-controlled Senate, where there is little support to convict Trump.

Green claimed that shouldn’t dissuade Democrats from moving rapidly toward impeachment. During a speech on the House floor on Thursday, Green reminded his colleagues that there is "no limit" to the number of times they can impeach the president.

"The Constitution allows a president to be impeached more than once," Green explained. "If we impeach now, or at some time in the near future, for one issue that we dearly should, then we find later that the president has other issues that merit impeachment, we can impeach again. There is no limit on the number of times."

Green noted that he doesn’t believe Trump should be impeached "needlessly," despite having forced a vote on impeachment three times before the current effort to remove Trump following his controversial phone call with Ukrainian leaders.

#5 I'm fast reaching the opinion that if there's a dem pres, and a republican congress, they should impeach automatically for the high crime of being a democrat and therefore a traitor to humanity, agent of evil and hater of America.

#6 You can have perpetual impeachment if we can perpetually elect him. Deal?

#8 He tried three times without being able to get anyone to go along? Clearly this little hobbyhorse of his is keeping him from getting into trouble by turning his attention to more realistic endeavours. I quite agree that he should continue to concentrate on bringing new impeachment bills before his fellows in the House, no matter how quixotic they may seem.

Either that, or he is trying to dilute the inevitable disappointment when the current effort fails in the Senate.

But either way, his statement will drive more voters away from the Democrats, and toward at least considering the Republicans. All the Dems had to do was not be crazy, and they can’t even manage that,

#10 The demoncrats seem to have the most ugly, odious, frustrated, selfish bastiches in their ranks. Amy pretty faces or otherwise smart personalities that align with them automatically lose their appeal and thereon assume the most superciliously obnoxious of visages. Then they start looking like caricatures. Like Alec Baldwin, or DeNiro.

Needless to say, like Maxine Waters this specimen is one of the ugliest things. It's not an ugliness in terms of aesthetic sense, more like a feeling of 'you are looking at something vile'.
