until the new Pelosi House of Representatives gets busy and starts to ask questions. This is one of the most blatant abuses of the office that IQ45 has taken, but then again, it is tough to name just one!

Here's another from IQ45. Know-nothing said today, the snowstorms in the Midwest this weekend is proof there is no climate change/global warming.

it just makes it easier for the next person to do it. That's why I don't like it that Democratic leaders are afraid to begin impeachment hearings.

Will speak loud and clear about how they feel about impeachment, irrespective of what the Reps might want to/not do. I think people are so fed up with this administration, and the non-stop, daily shitting all over the laws and The Constitution, that impeachment MUST be on the table.

Otherwise, come 2020, many of these new Reps will not be re-elected.

talking about impeachment was before the midterms. Now that the Democrats have won the midterms, resoundingly, talk of impeachment is now OK. IMO.

Speaker Pelosi was wrong to take charges against "W" off of the table, I now believe it would be wrong to try to impeach IQ45.
It would only fire up the "Trumpsters" and there is no way that 2/3 of this Senate would vote to approve the measure.

I'd much rather see her lead the House to investigate and attack each and every illegal and costly action that this corrupt mis-administration has done - hunt them down - bring them to shame - disgrace each and every one of them - let the American public know how this current crop of Repukes has truly screwed over this once-great country in the name of $$$$$$$ for the 1% and the current Puke office holders.

Kick ass, Speaker Pelosi!!!!!!

If the Dems were serious, they'd be making an issue of this right now. They don't have to be in power to keep raising the subject.
