While fringe Democrats have long voiced their intent to oust President Trump, their efforts took a more formal turn when a congressman from the liberal cesspool of California officially introduced articles of impeachment.
Rep. Brad Sherman drafted the articles back in June but just now introduced them on the floor of the House on Wednesday afternoon, presumably capitalizing on the Donald Trump Jr. collusion noise from this week.

Via McLatchy DC:
The articles accuse Trump of violating “his constitutional oath faithfully to execute the office of president of the United States.” Trump “has prevented, obstructed and impeded the administration of justice during a federal investigation,” Sherman’s resolution says.
Sherman took to social media to make clear he had lost his mind announce his efforts to the world:
I have introduced H.Res. 438 Articles of #Impeachment of Donald J. Trump for Obstruction of Justice. Statement here: https://t.co/0gKr8ZFg3c pic.twitter.com/yUTDAnPFuJ

Using a handy liberal-to-English dictionary, that tweet translates roughly to ‘Hey! Look at me, look at me! I need attention!’
It’s obvious Shermans’s call for impeachment is going nowhere.
First, even far-left Democrats have been hesitant to call for impeachment. Democrats such as Nancy Pelosi, Illinois Rep. Jan Schakowsky, Rep. John Conyers, and Minority Whip Steny Hoyer (D-MD) have all expressed doubts about moving forward.
Second, impeachment requires a majority consensus in the House, an unlikely scenario since Republicans have a 46-seat advantage.
And third, in a sad trombone moment for Sherman, only one fellow Democrat came forward to support his resolution – Rep. Al Green (D-TX).

Green gave a fiery speech on the House floor in May, calling for President Trump’s impeachment by claiming he was taking “a position of conscience.”

Sadly for him and Sherman, it’s not going to happen.
And as a gentle reminder to Democrats who think they’re going to impeach Trump and a magic fairy will come along and install their muse Hillary Clinton in the White House, here’s a list of the line of succession to the presidency.
Either way, Republicans will be sitting pretty for years to come while Democrats will be running around like that crazy guy wandering the streets chanting unintelligibly.

Only they’ll be wailing ‘impeach 45.’ And nobody will pay attention to them.

Well, the big difference is that Fast and Furious was actually illegal and resulted in Americans dying.
You people were always calling for the impeachment of Mr. Obama because he was trying to make the US a nice place to live for everyone, not just evil, mean-spirited , undereducated Republicans.
Everyone knows Mr. Trump cannot be impeached unless he commits a real crime. Calling for impeachment is just a way to show disapproval of Mr. Trump’s policies. By now, realistic people are seeing his agenda, and they do not like what they see.
Yes this is the first opener in the end-game for the orange baboon. It is just the start so of course it has yet to gather steam. BUT these motions will keep coming and with both MORE frequency and support, first from democrats then moderate republicans who are sick of defending this national embarrassment who thinks he is president. AND FINALLY, the staunchest republicans will have to choose, continue to support fascism and trump or listen to the people who give them the ultimatum… help get rid of trump or we get rid of you when we eliminate trump. The opposition continues to grow and the resistance continues to expand and it has but one outcome, the removal of the fascist Donald trump and any that support him and his fascist ideology. America did not fight WW2, spend thousands of lives and billions in finance to defeat fascism just to accept it now.
MORE of these impeachment devices will be happening… just wait and watch and LEARN.
When are the DemocRats going to understand America Comes First ! Not the Democratic party . If they’d spend some time doing their Job for a change America might move forward for a change .
please, enough of all this b.s…..run the country and get along…
The country is falling apart, and the only thing exposed is that we have mentally deranged legislators running the country.
No, they won’t be able to impeach him. If it comes to a vote, we have the majority, unless there are enough RINOS to vote for it. But, then it goes to the Senate to see if they want him to resign. And, I don’t see that happening. IF it does happen, then there are going to be the worst riotings ever seen.
