Rep. Brad Sherman, a California Democrat, is planning on bringing forward articles of impeachment against President Trump on Thursday, day one of the Democrat Party’s takeover of the House.
Sherman previously introduced the measure in 2017, but with his party now in power in the House, the effort takes on new meaning.

The Democrat’s ploy at the time hinged on the President’s alleged obstruction of justice by firing then-FBI director James Comey, saying the dismissal amounted to a ‘high crime and misdemeanor.’
“I am introducing Articles of Impeachment to begin a long process to protect our country from abuse of power, obstruction of justice, and impulsive, ignorant incompetence,” said in a statement when the measure was first proposed.
Rep. Brad Sherman plans to introduce articles of impeachment against Trump today, the first day of Democratic control of the House, according to LAT. https://t.co/TSMqIxHgGn

A Hollow Argument From a Hollow Congressman
Sherman’s re-upping of the articles seems to center on his personal belief that Trump is a bad president, an argument that falls well short of the requirement for impeachment.
“There is no reason it shouldn’t be before the Congress,” Sherman said. “Every day, Donald Trump shows that leaving the White House would be good for our country.”
Being unaware of the legal requirements and the political ramifications of impeachment is one thing, but Sherman has made clear he has little interest in rules and regulations but would rather curry favor with a fringe group of extreme leftists that salivate over the prospect of seeing the President ousted.
The Warning Signs Were There
On numerous occasions prior to the midterm elections, The Political Insider warned that impeachment would loom on the Democrat side of the aisle should their party take control of either House of Congress.
Despite leaders in the party arguing to the contrary, the reality was clear that some fringe politicians seeking to make a name for themselves would set forth an attempt to take down the President.

The Political Insider, November 6th, 2018:
A half-dozen Democrats already introduced the articles of impeachment about a year ago knowing that doing so would go nowhere, since they didn’t control the House.
But what if next year they do control the House?

And here we are … on day one.
Not the Last Attempt Either
Sherman’s articles of impeachment might be the first attempt with the Democrat takeover, but it will certainly not be the last.
When the ‘high crimes and misdemeanors’ route doesn’t go according to plan, they will almost assuredly fall back on the 25th Amendment argument.

MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough has already raised the possibility.
“If we had a House and a Senate that took their job seriously, there would be people going up to the White House this morning saying, ‘Mr. President, questions abound whether you were fit for this office. If this continues, we are going to ask your Cabinet to take a vote on whether you were fit for office and invoke the 25th Amendment,'” Scarborough hypothesized.
Buckle up – you’re going to see two years of this kind of radical behavior from the left. They won’t rest until President Trump is gone.

The demon rats are making themselves look stupid again. They are an embarrassment for our county. I am sure foreign countries are laughing at them.
The Democrats are at it again they are just out to get our President elected by the people who is making great strides in making America great again and doing it without the help of any damn Democrat!! The Democrats have done nothing for the betterment of our Country or for the will of the people for longer than one can date back to. They have been nothing but obstructionists for many years now. All the people need to look at is the track record of President Trump and his accomplishments since he took office and I dare you to put your finger on one thing that the democrats have done to benefit the country or the people during the time President Trump has been President..How does all of this add up to impeachment of the President? The Democrats are evil people currently serving in the House and very two faced with the public the American people. If anybody should be impeached it should be Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer and many others within the Democrat party..The Republicans wouldn’t have to dig very deep either to find cause for impeachment on these people. These people favor, open borders, sanctuary cities, unaffordable Obamacare, illegal immigrants, and to allow them to use our emergency funds like welfare and social security as their cash cow and financial survival fund while we here in America have thousands of our own citizens homeless across the country. I’m just getting started on what the Democrats are bringing to the table and can you believe it, the American people did not show any patriotism or love for their country at all to try and stop this madness!! Have we a once proud and God fearing Nation lost our minds? If not quite yet we can’t be to far off from bringing our country to it’s knees..How in the world can so many people justify voting for these Democrat misfits and in doing so be throwing their country under the bus? When you look at all of the good things we have and all of the good things that Donald Trump has accomplished since taking office as President how can so many have so much hatred and I don’t give a s–t attitude towards their country and their President? These people are willing to give up all of their freedoms, endanger their families lives because of one man? It is like all of them have suddenly become brain dead..We have a President who is leading us out of financial ruin, into a roaring economy, lowest unemployment rates since who can remember now? So many ungrateful people we now have in this country when there are million upon millions of people across the world who would change places with any of them in a heartbeat. These people just can’t understand what the people of America who have it all are wanting to tare their country a part as they are doing..Just look at Los Angeles they have a tent city within their city. The side streets are loaded with illegals living in tents and littering the streets heavily every day and starting to violate health laws by using the streets for bathrooms and etc. They are living like wild animals once they arrive in America. Do you see a bright future for any of these people other than what they are doing now for them? I certainly don’t! The country was warned of what would happen if the Democrats were allowed to enter back into power in Congress and the people ended up with a big fat F- for their failure to look out for their country and the American people. The people st the country back 10 to 15 years now by allowing the Democrats back into power and handcuffing our President the way we have..The next two years is going to be a wild and dirty dogfight all the way and nothing of any good will come from the 2018 mid-term election except heartaches for most and the destruction of our beloved Nation.. We brought all of this on ourselves listening to lies and cheap shots against good innocent people hat were only trying to help save America!! These people found out that they don’t want to be saved, they want to destroy American and bring on some New World order and a socialist government where the people have no say at all on how their country is run..It is very sad!! God save America!! The Democrats are charged up and ready to set us back 10 to 12years from where we are now..dead in the water!! Pray for your country people as she is going to need all of the help from God that she can get because the American people sure aren’t on the path to come to her aid..

FIRST of all, impeachment requires actual, you know, GROUNDS–like a CRIME of some sort, which, despite over 2 YEARS of the Mueller witch hunt frantically turning over every rock trying to FIND one, they conniving COMUCRATS DO NOT HAVE!
And secondly, if these America-hating VERMIN try to remove the President WE ELECTED with this Communist-/Globalist BS, they will start another Civil War. Because we, the people, who put Pres. Trump in the White House will NOT stand for these VERMIN trying to stage an ILLEGAL COUP against him!
WOW The Dems got the vote. A new way to get rid of a President they consider a threat to their party. You just get the Impeachment votes and wallyaaa your party gets rid of the sitting President. Democrats are not Democratic. Think of the country not your fat benefits, salary and retirement! Dont cut Trump short, he didnt get where he is by not being smart and he gave up a big empire to make America Great Again! He isn’t even taking a salary. Why dont the politicians donate their fat wallets. It would sure make a big dent in the Wall’s budget! Am I the only one who is sick and tired of this? Who is the numbskull governor who gave immunity to .illegals who have criminal records. Saving them from being deported. Heck, great smart thinking. Send them all to his state to get freebies and his state’s legal Americans will start leaving and he can have his own state of criminals…But who will pay the bills!!!..This is unreal!

Sherman, displays of insanity will get you nowhere.
Wait, wasn’t Brad Sherman that guy on Whose Line Is It Anyway? Oh no, that was Brad SherWOOD. I dunno, I think you have to have evidence that Trump committed a crime BEFORE you can impeach him. Radicals are jumping the gun here.

How many more taxpayers dollars are going to be spent trying to get President Trump out of office. It seems to me that two years of finding nothing should be enough, even for Democrats. As long as the taxpayers pick up the tab it will keep on going.
I do believe they truly think they can pull it off and not get a massive reaction from all of us. Best be checking your supplies because, my friends, I think these fools are going to be mega stupid shortly.
Brad Sherman you are stupid and you will not succeed in your try at impeachment
JoneX you are correct and not only the end of the Democrat party but the crumbling of our Democracy and freedom. It shows a party can control everything even the President of the United State. Getting rid of a few dumbies, like their speaker of the house would help, and whats with her mouthy daughter. Wouldn’t you consider that a threat to the President? Cutting off his head. What a mess we are in!
fancy nancy and her minions are going to find themselves a laughing stock of all time.

Impeachment, so what!

The senate will never remove President Trump from office, if they did it would be the end of the republican party.
There is NO WAY on God’s green earth that firing James Comey, which the POTUS had a complete and LEGAL right to do for ANY REASON, can be construed to be a “High crime and misdemeanor” so this guy is a BLITHERING IDIOT!!!!

(TDS) Trump Derangement Syndrome is void of logic, common sense and Rational Thought. There will never be an impeachment if actual laws with solid grounds are followed.
