Gabbard to Introduce Censure Alternative to Impeaching Trump

Representative Tulsi Gabbard (D., Hawaii) is expected to introduce a resolution calling for President Trump’s censure ahead of a Wednesday vote on the articles of impeachment drafted by the House Judiciary Committee.

Gabbard will introduce the resolution, which suggests “the president put personal political gain over national interest,” on Tuesday afternoon, according to ABC News.

The Hawaii representative is one of the last House Democrats to remain publicly undecided on impeachment.

“I’m taking this time for myself to be able to review everything that’s happened all the information that’s been put forward,” Gabbard told a crowd at Furman University in Greenville, S.C. on Monday. “And just all the factors that go into really trying to figure out what what is the best action to take for our country. And for democracy. It’s not a simple or easy decision to make.”

1. Ugh. eom

[mahina]

9. Seconded

[budkin]

2. I'm so tired of her bullshit

She seriously needs to fuck off forever.

[Me.]

3. When Does She Join Drew?

4. If she believes he "put personal political gain over national interest"

Then she must vote to impeach. Her oath of office demands it.

[onecaliberal]

6. Her oath is to Russia.

7. With what Turtle said today

there is very small chance of removal from Office.
If he gets re-elected, it will be dictatorship on steroids in 2nd term because he will feel exonerated.
Censure could pass the Senate from what I read and will be a permanent blot on his history and is more likely to force the dictator to act with more restraint. So Tulsi's proposal has some merit.

8. So sorry. Censure is not going to make hi1m more restrained

That will happen when his evil soul leaves his body.

14. probably right, but

if senate lets him skate completely free, he is going to act more belligerent is what I think.
Sometimes you have to choose lesser of the 2 evils.

[PJMcK]

5. Hey, Tulsi!

Sit down and shut up. You’ve got nothing to offer.

[Wawannabe]

10. Primary political suicide

My opinion.

[TwilightZone]

15. She's not seeking reelection

Which probably explains some of her stances/decisions.

[Wawannabe]

16. I was referring to Presidential candidacy

Sorry didn’t make that clear.

On edit: I checked before posting earlier and nothing I found indicates she quit this race - censoring call is not going to be favored by the majority of Dem voters.

And we should shun her with a vote of no in pres primary. Right?

[TwilightZone]

18. Sorry, my fault. I was thinking about her next primary in Hawaii.

I think she has no shot in the current primary, so I was already thinking ahead to her next potential campaign in HI. I think her presidential campaign isn't a serious one; it's just to get attention and a potential TV gig. She's not too picky on where the gig comes from.

11. Go away Comrade Tulsi!

[StevieM]

12. I don't have a problem, in theory, with a president being given a lesser sanction.

The problem is that in this case it is dangerous to let Trump stay in office. He needs to be removed in order to protect our country.

Impeachment is not about punishing Trump for his consistently immoral behavior. It is about protecting our country from a dangerous individual in the White House, which is exactly what Trump is.

He should have been impeached a long time ago. He should have been impeached when he started kidnapping children and locking them up in cages.

13. Censure Trump and Impeach him.

Then everyone goes home happy.

17. Actually Why not both impeachment and censure?

Trump deserves impeachment and removal, but censure would be another honor that he richly deserves and could be awarded.
