"Fact: Donald Trump, abusing his position as president, created and executed an elaborate channel to invite and obtain foreign assistance in digging dirt on a political opponent." #impeachandremovehttps://t.co/5LHrXnm04Z
There are those who act like this impeachment is a walk in a park. Don't believe it. Not for Trump. He's beside himself upset and, if you want some evidence how much more crazy he is, take a look at the letter the orange menace wrote to Speaker Pelosi.https://t.co/4MNRGygvJJpic.twitter.com/MNn4yw8qOj
Read the entire UNHINGED letter that President Trumpjust sent Speaker Pelosi and then ask yourself if this is the behavior of an innocent man. https://t.co/UlefdkN6Iz
President Trump’s “letter” to Speaker Pelosi is a vivid picture of the mind of the man, in real time. It is a reminder that ultimately impeachment is a judgement on whether this man is fit for the presidency.
Impeachment becomes official tomorrow. History books! Congratulations to the Dem House and Speaker Pelosi. Despite the criticism they did the right thing and came through. 3rd President ever to be impeached. Criminality has consequences
To suggest that the impeachment—following a process set out in the Constitution—is unconstitutional and a coup, as the President does in his letter to Speaker Pelosi, is flat out wrong on the law and Constitution and a bit unhinged. This is not OK.https://t.co/dhcDb5rywv
Pelosi's letter to House Democrats is everything Trump's letter to her is not. She reminds them that they are all, by virtue of their oaths, guardians of the Constitution. https://t.co/TEOFwEdS9f
Dear Iran, Cuba, North Korea, China, Russia, European Union – oh, hell, every Country on the Planet,
I hope the nutcase that @realdonaldtrump is, doesn't nuke some or all of you in the next 24 hours to distract from his & the @GOP's CRIMES. #ImpeachmentDay2019.

Just in, from the duo over in the AsiaPacific region, filming as they edit, and finding warm-hearted people everywhere!! Here is some healing, in this pain filled time for our country.
He’s terrified that his impeachment will signal to the world that the gig is up, that the world now see him as the illegitimate traitor he is and his hold will slip away to all but the very brainwashed. The fat assed emperor wannabe has no clothes, no morals and no mind. He’s a stain on America, but people will wise up. We the people will put all those that played along and engaged in this charade for a wannabe dictator, out of office along with the menace. We rebuild like a Phoenix from the ashes that he left. Better, stronger and more just. America is waking and we’ve had enough. New Day. New Rules. New Motivation
OH, REPUBLICAN CONGRESS-CRITTERS! How. It. Must. Suck. To. Be. You. Right. Now! You hate this mother-fucker, don't you? It really does show, you know. Despite all of the Oscar-worthy performances, (looking at you, Doug Collins. And you, Lindsey Graham.) 1/16
no one could have predicted that the lifelong failure-monkey who ran six casinos into the ground and ran an airline into the ground and ran a football team into the ground and ran a magazine into the ground would eventually run his own presidency straight into the fucking ground
Your head will be nodding up and down as you read this thread. Here we are. You will remember this moment in time
Today, the House will vote to impeach Donald Trump. Whatever happens from here (spoiler: we shall prevail), we must savor this victory over the seditious forces working to destroy our country.
New: More than 200 alumni of the Obama campaigns and admin are endorsing Elizabeth Warren, as part of a signature-gathering effort led by two senior Obama veterans. With @DaniellaMicaelahttps://t.co/yVoY8kFHYn
I'm grateful to have the support of these Obama campaign alumni and my fellow Obama administration alumni. Their work changed what we know is possible in our politics. Together, we can win in 2020 and build a government that works for everyone. https://t.co/BPlavS9uSz
With one simple move, Trump could wipe out both impeachment articles. By allowing Mulvaney, Pompeo and Bolton to testify, there would be no obstruction of Congress. And presumably, they could disprove abuse of power
So if he's truly innocent, ask yourself why he's not doing that
Don't let this pass on this busy day without notice. Consider what is happening here. The average citizens of the U.S. are being robbed by the richest and most powerful people and corporations in America. We foot the bill. They rake in the dough.

Pelosi and Schumer should hold a somber press conference where they offer to drop the impeachment vote if Trump is willing to resign today, and then say they look forward to starting a new chapter with Vice President Pence.

Hope is still alive, though there are still stormy seas ahead before our Ship of State is steady and sailing ahead over calm waters. Today’s success will give us the strength and the courage to stay the course to make our union more perfect.
Nancy ‘Smash” Pelosi is a force of Nature.
You had no choice….Congratulations to Speaker Pelosi, Chairmen Nadler and Schiff, the Democratic Caucus and their staff! Thanks to the staff who provide food and refreshments and clean the Capitol.
–Thank you for your magnificent work. Thanks for caring.
Yes – time for Tulsi to consider a new career opportunity perhaps?
I am sure they are always hiring over at Fox or RT 🤷♀️?? After all who wouldn’t want you on their side, huh?
That was horrible. I’m glad his wife immediately spoke up about it. trump will feel no shame but if one or two of his followers do, that’s at least one or two.
Well now! Nancy said (paraphrasing here): MoscowMitch, we’re not sending you these 2 impeachment articles until Senate sends rules. Checkmate. In other words & in writing, state Senate trial rules. Dare you! Then, don’t forget House only presented 2 articles & have stated that investigations continue into all the other articles that will be brought forth. That’s boxed in MoscowMitch & enablers. They have no idea what lies beyond. What House has on all of them. Don’t mess w/ Nancy, as she prays for you! 😂
Correct me if I am wrong. Seems to me that the only thing trump authorized was military support, such as airlift. He was entitled to everything else by virtue of his congressional service; those honors are controlled and authorized by the Speaker of the House.
Please stay away from the South Park Mall in San Antonio.
As we await more information, my heart goes out to the victims, their families, our city, and our country. Enough is enough—we must act on gun reform now. https://t.co/KUE0zl0mjj

Check your email, TODers. There’s an uplifting message from President Obama that begins:
“This is a natural time of year for lists—best of’s, top 10’s, your 2019 wrapped. But while I work on getting my favorite books, songs, and films of the year in order, I wanted to share a different kind of list with you: the Year in Hope.”
Too bad there couldn’t have been an Article of Impeachment for “NO CLASS” – Behavior that is disrespectful to the office he holds and is unbecoming of the POTUS…unbecoming of a human being in general.
Yes it does, for the first time in his life Trump is being held accountable for his actions. Yesterday proved that no one is above the law. I’m not overly worried about what happens in the Senate, I think that when this nation is faced with great challenges, it does great things.
Was waiting to hear you weigh in… I think that your response was well worth the wait:) I agree… I also remember my thought when this fraud got installed. I remember thinking that we had gotten complacent and taken so much for granted, and this this time in our history would be a learning lesson for the country. I feel like that was the correct thought. That said, this is the beginning of the long battle, not the end.
Which is why Putin had a comment about our impeachment… and why the Senate Majority leader, and others, felt free to say they won’t be an impartial juror. All bought and paid for
And Parnas gets $ from Firtash who partners with Russian mobster Semyon Mogilevich. This is how Russian Mafia has effectively taken over the GOP. https://t.co/QWBpJ87pUi
I must admit, at first blush I wasn’t crazy about waiting to send over the articles of impeachment to the Senate. I wanted it to be done as soon as the ink was on the documents. Now after listening and understanding the reasons the delay is necessary, strategically speaking. Now that he’s been impeached in the House, that stain will never go away. And if the Senate wants to drag this impeachment out, let them, let them go into the presidential campaign season with a freshly impeached president running for reelection.
The thing about Nancy Pelosi is she never does things without thinking about the endgame. Very much like PBO, who always always always knew where he was going. So Nancy isn’t just going to hand all their hard work over to a Putin co-conspirator. She wants Moscow Mitch to deliver to her a specific plan in writing about the rules for how the impeachment trial will proceed. And she will wait until the rules satisfy her goals and objectives of an actual legit trial, not a sham circus intended to glorify Trump. Nancy does not play.
Speaker Pelosi is a loyal friend and protector of the right thing to do. I thank God we have her here with us in this moment. Very proud of all that she stands for.
MoscowMassacreMItch wants to pass a lousy judgeship every 2 hours, but otherwise scratch his arse.
–We just told Trumpsky….No.
–So now Grim Reaper get over it….NO.

Oh sweet! Well deserved.
Good for the Obamas. They deserve every square foot.
Great for the Obamas.
PITY
I love their success and their continued capacity to inspire others. They are LOVE.
Impeach and Remove Trump….he has abused the office…he has obstructed Congress
For real ….
Still serving her constituents…

Morning all. Can Mc Connell be impeached for derelict of duty, for not upholding his oath of office?
Therefore can his court appointees be recalled?
I wish that could happen. Moscow Mitch is a you know what stain on the country.
Nancy Pelosi is not pandering to her base. She is upholding her oath of office.
I am praying that Santa brings each and every one of these spineless Republicans a SPINE this Christmas.
You are generous.
May Santa leave for the North Pole with them! This is my wish.
