Typical response from the Trump lickers:

The Republican Base: Perpetual cluelessness is their superpower.

Memo to Dems: you are playing with real guns and ammunition: Don’t f**k it up. President Pence will not change a single administrative directive or policy. We need a Democratic President, not a mock trial.

Several Senate Democrats Push For Impeachment Inquiry Into Trump

Senators Tester (D-MT), Jones (D-AL) and Manchin (D-WV) could not be be interviewed because severe intestinal problems cause them to be continuously running to the the WC.

Reply from the Dems, thanks for the advice, we’ll take it from here.

It ain’t lack of courage that is causing these guys cramps: it’s the possibility that in 2020 a chance to defenestrate Moscow Mitch will slip through our fingers.

You’re wrong about Tester. The state’s also got a Democrat for governor, Bullock.

Why should they come out in support of impeachment? Especially Doug Jones. We don’t need people sticking their neck out for the sake of sticking it out.

The same Bullock who as governor and as AG stood up to and won against the Koch funded entities who wanted to turn their state into a Randian laboratory crossed with early 20th century mining barons.

We don’t need any more headlines about …so&so calling for impeachment.
The only headline should be Congress dithers…then report the calls.

No need to report on all these calls as headlines nor or weasel words like escalated measures when Congress subpoenas are being ignored.

Action is all that counts not.

Folks call on God daily.
Just report on answered prayers please.

There it is! The necessary pushback to what I’m going to call from now the hipster schtick cohort whose cynicism knows no bounds.

@bloomingpeonie Does this work for you? Evidently you skipped other threads where we’re talking about it.

Eventually a repub probably one who’s on the endangered list will call for impeachment. That’s when it might be safe for any of these guys to do the same.

Call on god for what? Rain, no rain, stop hurricanes/tornados/forest fires? If there was a god those “good” holier than thou evangelicals would not support trump. GOTV is what need not, make me feel good without doing thing, thoughts and prayers.

Unless they impeach both Trump and Pence simultaneously, there will not be a Dem president without an election. Upon Trump’s removal, Pence would nominate his VP who would then need majority confirmation of both houses.

I can’t see how they do two at the same time without the appearance of a coup. No way the Senate would cooperate anyway.

I think we need to mention Oath Of Office in damn near every sentence about Chump, and Barr, and any cabinet officials who took an oath. Do I understand correctly many of the “Actings” did not?

Is there an expectation that I read every thread?
It’s ok that you share without consistently making barbed remarks regarding me. Geez
I focus on topicof thread I post in…not the poster.

Nothing but more words by politicians in those links.
NO ACTION.

I was looking at the list of representatives that oppose Impeachment and not totally surprisingly my rep Lucy McBath is among them. I don’t know about others but I know about her, she won on a traditionally republican (and mostly white) district as a pro gun control black female democrat against a well credentialed, white, uber-christian incumbent female, for only one reason: Donald Trump who is terribly unpopular in the district, and still she is afraid to vote for impeachment.

There a ton of cowards in the republican side as well.

Tired of calls for impeachment.
It’s like evangelicals calling on God.
