on when are you and your colleges ready to bring articles of Impeachment to the floor? Ive never seen or Heard Nadler twist his words or side step questions..
Mathews said.... What more do you need?
My conclusion ...Democrats are not going to do a damn thing about Trump and his Crimes..nothing
So Democrats ;lose the house in 2020 and we will no longer be a Democratic Society..
So Pelosi when we say to you "We told you so" its too damn late.

(29,718 posts)will be moving the lawsuits through the courts and when they return, that will be a good time to start all the hearings and during the recess, all those congress people will be in their home districts and offices and it will be a very good time to visit and tell them exactly how you feel. Bring friends, family, strangers and plan to hang awhile to get to know the staff and let them know how you feel. We need to flood those offices just like we did to save health care. This is even more important. I'm sure Indivisible is gearing up for action too.

(89,251 posts)what you describe are right wing trolls who claim to be Democrats. they enjoy seeing minorities suffer. they enjoy what is happening to the brown caged kids.
that's why they won't vote democratic.

(6,994 posts)if they don't act we may be looking at Minority Leader Pelosi in 2020

(89,251 posts)and again, democratic voters who don't vote in 2020 are right wing trolls. if after everything that happened their decision is not to vote it shows who they are . what they are about.

(16,110 posts)(which is by no means a done deal, but it would be nice), the first act of the new president will likely be to pardon that orange thing and his odious spawn in the name of "healing" and "moving forward".
That is my fear anyway.

(17,984 posts)I'm not going to bash Pelosi. There has been enough of that already. I think she is smart and a good leader. However, I have to question if our system of government has become so damaged, so corrupted that not even Pelosi can navigate its swamp waters now. The Rump is not the only bull in the China shop. It's the whole damned GOP cabal. Any time one of them knocks over a fragile piece, the base applaud and the GOP blame it on us. Pelosi knows exactly how to play by the rules and negotiate the best deal... under normal circumstances. Do we want someone from The Squad handling the situation? That would be like throwing a match on our mountain of extra dry powder. I think this is a no win situation for us unless we do our damnedest to take back the Senate and WH. After that we can pass legislation that will make it impossible for something like this to happen again.

(4,516 posts)want impeachment. Many of those are Dems.
As Nadler said we need the courts to force witnesses to appear before the committees.
Calling for impeachment while conveniently ignoring reality is doing a disservice to all.

(16,110 posts)Trump will get off scot free, no consequences for destroying our nation.
I'm sure it will be awesome to see him strutting around, saying over and over, "See even the Democrats knew I was 100% innocent!".
I know I'm looking forward to watching my children's future go up in flames, just so Trump can declare victory!

(33,345 posts)Most of those are Dems, who elected this Congress. Most of that 41% know that the craven GOP Senate won't convict, but the trial will be a spectacle that makes Trump look like a self-pitying, whiny ballsack during the middle of a campaign.
That's all America wants now, right? Compelling TV with great optics?
Nadler has to dodge now, but after the recess, it's on.
That Motherfucker needs Impeachment on his permanent record, collapse of the Republic or not.

(8,231 posts)2 years. And now that it's out nobody is reading it for insight on additional crimes.
They want to impeach with brand new fresh evidence. That is my take.

(18,486 posts)Nadler was calm, rational and measured in the face of Matthews' rudeness. He tried to explain that this is a process and, far from Democrats doing "nothing" or not "starting" anything yet, they are well on their way. He pointed out that, among other things the Democrats are in seeking release of the grand jury materials and will be in court tomorrow to ask a judge to compel McGahn's testimony. He also pointed out that a lot will be going on on the courts and on the Committees during recess.
I know some may find it satisfying to watch the great legal and legislative expert Vhris Matthews yelling at a Committee Chairman about what he thinks he:s not doing, but it was actually pretty ridiculous.
Nadler's got this.
