In reply to the discussion: It begins...a call for impeachment in the House [View all]Scarsdale
(9,426 posts)16. Lots of luck convincing ANY
member of the gop to actually join in this effort. They all obey McConnell, they have no independent thoughts. Until their constituents show them that they are concerned about the criminal in the WH, they will do nothing. Fear of losing their positions seems to be the only incentive for them. Lay out all the ways tRump is committing crimes against his office, and let people decided for themselves. Do they want a thug in the WH? The entire world is aware of his criminal activities. WHY is he allowed to get away with breaking laws? Before he has his giant 4th of July takeover, he should pay the overdue bills for his inauguration. This creepy family is depleting the Treasury of the US while lining their own pockets.

Why would they necessarily obey McConnell? He is in a different chamber (Senate).

What makes you think he wouldn't tweet that w/o Pelosi's approval? This is not the first such tweet.
