New Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib Goes off on Trump: ‘We’re Going to Impeach the Motherf*cker!’ (https://www.mediaite.com/online/new-congresswoman-rashida-tlaib-goes-off-on-trump-were-going-to-impeach-the-motherfcker/)

Earlier in the day Tlaib gets sworn into Congress. Later at an event (seems to be of her supporters) she tells a crowd "We're going to go in and impeach the motherfucker."

:shocked:

Although with Trump's language, maybe this is acceptable now.


Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) — who was sworn in earlier Thursday — is coming out of the gate swinging at President Donald Trump.

According to accounts from multiple reporters, the new Congresswoman made a sharply-worded pledge to a crowd at a reception held by the progressive group MoveOn near Capitol Hill on Thursday night.


Axios’s Alexi McCammond reports that Tlaib quoted her son telling her, “Look mama you won. Bullies don’t win.” Tlaib reportedly replied, “You’re right, they don’t. And we’re gonna go in and impeach the motherfucker.”

The comments are amusing.

The language doesn't bother me. The ignorance does. Impeach Trump, and you're left with Pence, who is far worse for the Democrats. Impeaching Trump would be the worst thing they could do, unless they could somehow get Pence too, which is highly unlikely.

I am not sure how the legislative support staff is hired, but I assume that they have "career" feds (as opposed to political hires) who will let the new Congress-class what the law actually says.

Agreed.

I disagree with Hal Jordan and public officials should be held to a standard of decorum we would want all children to strive for.

Can you even imagine a congress where every congressman/woman gets up and motherfucks every sentence and calls all their colleagues on the other side motherfuckers. Cmon Hal.

There should always be a level of decorum thats why most newstations bleep out swear words

I actually disagree with this logic. I'd actually rather have Pence as president.

I also think you might've asked Gerald Ford about how well the VPs of presidents who find themselves removed from office fair electorally.

Really though, this is about he rule of law and whether someone should be above it just because they're the undemocratically-selected (i.e. lost the popular vote), unpopular president. This is literally the single most corrupt White House in American history. I'm telling you that as an American history major. There is nothing that compares. How many Trump officials now have resigned in disgrace after misappropriating taxpayer money, failing to disclose their conspiracies with hostile foreign governments, etc. etc.? This is the most scandal-ridden administration we've ever had before and that climate comes from somewhere. Let me suggest that it specifically comes from the top. It emanates from the person of Donald Trump himself: our first president to retain his business assets while holding the office of president (i.e. the first for-profit presidency). There are, in fact, what now, 17 different investigations into the president's own personal scandals to decipher whether they are even legal? I mean come on! There HAS to be some form of accountability for all that that's okay with you! It's not simply a matter of political opportunism. There is a moral issue here to be considered.

Pence would not win re-election if he took over after an early Trump exit. The religious right is a minority of the GOP.

This wasn't the only Deviate Democrat to jump off with the disrespect.



Rep. Hank Johnson Compares Trump to Hitler, Says His Supporters Are Uneducated and Have Short Lifespans (https://townhall.com/tipsheet/laurettabrown/2019/01/03/rep-hank-johnson-compares-trump-to-hitler-n2538437)


Remember this mope. This was the dumbass Democrat that thought Guam would tip over due overpopulation. Yet here this degenerate is talking about how Trump supporters aren't educated. That is some funny shit coming from a Democrat that lacks intelligence.

Democrats are deviates.....will always go deviate. Will always bring the disrespect from out of their pieholes. She thought that was cool that she called Trump a Motherfucker. Send that skank my way. I will be happy to show her how cool using profanity is. One thing is guaranteed.....she won't like how she is treated.

[IMPress Polly]

It's a minority of the public for sure (perhaps 25-30%), but are you sure it's a minority of Republicans?

I am all about the rule of law and I do not see where this President has violated any rule of law. I haven't seen any real scandals while he's been in office. All of his assets went into a trust. Yes it is revocable not irrevocable, but he's not going to be president forever. He hasn't violated any laws in this respect. The only think I didn't like was the hotel lease but that was all legal. I think it was unseemly, but not illegal. The Rule of Law has been followed here. The truth here is that he's disliked, stands up to the media and is harsh and polarizing. He promised to directly after Obama's agenda. That's not grounds to impeach anyone. Just remember, though, paybacks are a Pelosi. There's a long history in this country of the D's doing something and the R's turning it more so against them.

Maybe you should practice what you preach. All you've done is lay out the issued talking points, which have no basis in reality. What high crimes and misdemeanors has Trump committed? Be specific.

He and his family members are literally still making money from his businesses right now, as I write this. In fact, they are currently managed actively by his own children. That's a pretty blatant violation of the emoluments clause, and we have seen many questionable developments in that connection, in the sense of foreign governments seeming to get policy favors and punishments in exchange for how their business relationships with Trump family members go (like the whole "let us sanction Qatar" episode for instance). That phenomenon is what I would consider to be a violation of the emoluments clause.

Trump has also now been implicated in multiple felonies related to a conspiracy to prevent unsavory news about a past affair from coming to light late in the 2016 presidential campaign, among other things.

More to the point, we also now have evidence that that famed September 2016 meeting in Prague to pay off Russian operatives for their work and make them quietly go away did, in fact, happen. To that end, I remain fully a believer in the Steele dossier. More and more of it keeps getting evidenced and even proven true. I mean formally we have to await Mueller's report, but I mean come on; most people believe that something illicit definitely happened here involving Trump himself. The only question for me is whether it was something that rises to the level of treason or not.

I'm not sure what you mean by "real scandals", but I think we could point to the resignations of characters ranging from Price to Pruitt to Zinke, all on the heels of criminal investigations, Carson's misappropriations, Mnuchin's over-the-top luxury flights at taxpayer's expense, and countless others now as clear evidence that an anything-goes culture of corruption exists within the Trump Administration. Others have resigned over scandals involving allegations of things like wife-beating even.

[Peter1469]

It's a minority of the public for sure (perhaps 25-30%), but are you sure it's a minority of Republicans?

Yes. The GOP pats them on the head, says they will be antiabortion, then closes the doors and laughs at the religious right.

THe usual leftist litany of accusations and allegations.

[Peter1469]

He and his family members are literally still making money from his businesses right now, as I write this. In fact, they are currently managed actively by his own children. That's a pretty blatant violation of the emoluments clause, No it isn't. Presidents, indeed all politicians do not need to divorce themselves from productive business careers.



and we have seen many questionable developments in that connection, in the sense of foreign governments seeming to get policy favors and punishments in exchange for how their business relationships with Trump family members go (like the whole "let us sanction Qatar" episode for instance). That phenomenon is what I would consider to be a violation of the emoluments clause. That would certainly be a legal problem, although not the emoluments clause. It would be the same as the Clinton Foundation and Sec. State Hillary.


Trump has also now been implicated in multiple felonies related to a conspiracy to prevent unsavory news about a past affair from coming to light late in the 2016 presidential campaign, among other things.

None of those are crimes. In fact Stormy will be broke for life for violating her agreement with Trump to STFU.




More to the point, we also now have evidence that that famed September 2016 meeting in Prague to pay off Russian operatives for their work and make them quietly go away did, in fact, happen. To that end, I remain fully a believer in the Steele dossier. More and more of it keeps getting evidenced and even proven true. I mean formally we have to await Mueller's report, but I mean come on; most people believe that something illicit definitely happened here involving Trump himself. The only question for me is whether it was something that rises to the level of treason or not.

Except all evidence points to Manifort not being anywhere near Prague at that time. The Steele "dossier" was opposition research from a person on an FBI black list (meaning they could not legally use him as an informant) that the FBI used as their only evidence at a FISA court to obtain permission to spy on an American citizen.

If you think golden showers (from a discredited source) are more important that FBI lies and scheming I am not sure what the point of the discussion is.


I'm not sure what you mean by "real scandals", but I think we could point to the resignations of characters ranging from Price to Pruitt to Zinke, all on the heels of criminal investigations, Carson's misappropriations, Mnuchin's over-the-top luxury flights at taxpayer's expense, and countless others now as clear evidence that an anything-goes culture of corruption exists within the Trump Administration.

Those are ethics investigation not criminal.

None of them have to do with actual crimes committed by the FBI and previous administration in their soft coup attempt against Trump.

That phenomenon is what I would consider to be a violation of the emoluments clause.

It is not a violation of the emoluments clause. As I indicated, he placed his assets in a trust. His children are running his business. All of this is legal. There is a tremendous amount of scholarly disagreement on whether the Presidency is an office of "Trust" or "Profit" - the type of office to which the emoluments clause applies. The law review articles I have read conclude that it is not, meaning that the emoluments clause does not apply to the President.

Trump has also now been implicated in multiple felonies related to a conspiracy to prevent unsavory news about a past affair from coming to light late in the 2016 presidential campaign, among other things.

This is not illegal; and, if so, were not performed in office -- hence no basis for impeachment. Politicians bury unsavory news, even if it costs them. I settle cases (yes, even sexual assault cases) and insist on a confidentiality agreement. Parties are free to contract to do so in this country.

More to the point, we also now have evidence that that famed September 2016 meeting in Prague to pay off Russian operatives for their work and make them quietly go away did, in fact, happen. To that end, I remain fully a believer in the Steele dossier. More and more of it keeps getting evidenced and even proven true. I mean formally we have to await Mueller's report, but I mean come on; most people believe that something illicit definitely happened here involving Trump himself. The only question for me is whether it was something that rises to the level of treason or not.

No, most people do not belief that "something illicit definitely happened here involving Trump himself". That is a talking point. Most people do not believe that anything happened and the famed "meeting" never happened. This is all make believe, as is the dossier. Regardless, even if it were, colluding with the Russians is not illegal (political suicide but not illegal) as I have said many times. Does it at all trouble you that we have a defendant in search of a crime? Usually we have a crime in search of a defendant. Remember, never take more power for yourself than you are willing to give to your mortal enemy. You want to take down this president b/c you don't like him, and claim some make believe crimes and scandals -- fine. As I've said before: Paybacks are a Pelosi.


I'm not sure what you mean by "real scandals", but I think we could point to the resignations of characters ranging from Price to Pruitt to Zinke, all on the heels of criminal investigations, Carson's misappropriations, Mnuchin's over-the-top luxury flights at taxpayer's expense, and countless others now as clear evidence that an anything-goes culture of corruption exists within the Trump Administration.
None of these were scandals. They may have been poor PR moves, but they weren't scandals. Now, the IRS giving taxpayer information to the DNC in the run-up to the 2012 election -- that was a scandal. The IRS targeting conservative organizations to silence same in the run up to the 2012 election -- that was a scandal. Luxury flights? Stupid, but hardly a scandal ala DC.

Did you vote for someone to be president that said “shithole”, what about prior to the election that was on tape saying he grabbed pussies? So either you are a hypocrite or you have the ability to overlook your personal convictions when the person is someone you like, which is it?

They can make up something if they choose. The courts have no right to intervene.

I wouldn't have said it in her position, but her supporters probably don't care or like it, and the people who are having hissy fits over it would never vote for her anyway.

[Peter1469]

I wouldn't have said it in her position, but her supporters probably don't care or like it, and the people who are having hissy fits over it would never vote for her anyway.
I would think any thoughts about her whatsoever from people who wouldn't vote for her, last a second or a tad bit longer.

[Captdon]

I actually disagree with this logic. I'd actually rather have Pence as president.

I also think you might've asked Gerald Ford about how well the VPs of presidents who find themselves removed from office fair electorally.

Really though, this is about he rule of law and whether someone should be above it just because they're the undemocratically-selected (i.e. lost the popular vote), unpopular president. This is literally the single most corrupt White House in American history. I'm telling you that as an American history major. There is nothing that compares. How many Trump officials now have resigned in disgrace after misappropriating taxpayer money, failing to disclose their conspiracies with hostile foreign governments, etc. etc.? This is the most scandal-ridden administration we've ever had before and that climate comes from somewhere. Let me suggest that it specifically comes from the top. It emanates from the person of Donald Trump himself: our first president to retain his business assets while holding the office of president (i.e. the first for-profit presidency). There are, in fact, what now, 17 different investigations into the president's own personal scandals to decipher whether they are even legal? I mean come on! There HAS to be some form of accountability for all that that's okay with you! It's not simply a matter of political opportunism. There is a moral issue here to be considered.

You didn't learn much as a history major, did you?

Nixon had more aides and Cabinet officers placed in prison that all other Presidents together. Trump had one aide, Flynn, guilty in the eyes of the law. Trump fired him. Who else in the Trump administration has been found guilty of anything? How many have been accused?

Trump left control of his business. That what every wealthy President does. They place their business in trust. Trump gave up control. No real difference. Whatever influence he retains, and it is total, is no different than a trustee. A trustee does what a President wants done.

You are a history major? I've lived through this. You were rooked.

You make up stuff. There are never any facts to back up anything you say. You must think we're illiterates. This whole thing is happening right in front of us. Do you think we can't read? I don't think you can think or comprehend much.

I wouldn't have said it in her position, but her supporters probably don't care or like it, and the people who are having hissy fits over it would never vote for her anyway.

I wasn't trying to say I thought thre was a case for impeaching Trump, but even if there was, it would be a bad move.

There are two reasons to impeach President Trump. Both involve waging war against Syria without congressional approval.

Trump has violated plenty of stuff, most notably, waging war without congressional approval, but he hasn't done anything uniquely criminal when compared to his contemporaries.

He and his family members are literally still making money from his businesses right now, as I write this. In fact, they are currently managed actively by his own children. That's a pretty blatant violation of the emoluments clause, and we have seen many questionable developments in that connection, in the sense of foreign governments seeming to get policy favors and punishments in exchange for how their business relationships with Trump family members go (like the whole "let us sanction Qatar" episode for instance). That phenomenon is what I would consider to be a violation of the emoluments clause.

Trump has also now been implicated in multiple felonies related to a conspiracy to prevent unsavory news about a past affair from coming to light late in the 2016 presidential campaign, among other things.

More to the point, we also now have evidence that that famed September 2016 meeting in Prague to pay off Russian operatives for their work and make them quietly go away did, in fact, happen. To that end, I remain fully a believer in the Steele dossier. More and more of it keeps getting evidenced and even proven true. I mean formally we have to await Mueller's report, but I mean come on; most people believe that something illicit definitely happened here involving Trump himself. The only question for me is whether it was something that rises to the level of treason or not.

I'm not sure what you mean by "real scandals", but I think we could point to the resignations of characters ranging from Price to Pruitt to Zinke, all on the heels of criminal investigations, Carson's misappropriations, Mnuchin's over-the-top luxury flights at taxpayer's expense, and countless others now as clear evidence that an anything-goes culture of corruption exists within the Trump Administration. Others have resigned over scandals involving allegations of things like wife-beating even.

That's a weak case tbh, no offense. Trump and his family doesn't really stand to gain monetarily from him being in office, they're all set for life. Clinton, Obama, and their families came from relatively modest situations and parlayed their respective runs into vast amounts of wealth. They stood more to gain from being president.

[Tahuyaman]

The language doesn't bother me, although were I in politics that would not be my style.

There can be a right time time and place for extreme obscene language, but she is not choosing the right time and place.


Many house Democrats are on the impeachment bandwagon right now. Pelosi knows that would damage her precious party for years. These new young socialist types might be a problem for her.

[Lummy]

There are two reasons to impeach President Trump. Both involve waging war against Syria without congressional approval.


Trump has violated plenty of stuff, most notably, waging war without congressional approval, but he hasn't done anything uniquely criminal when compared to his contemporaries.

During my lifetime, Congress has never officially objected to wars conducted by a President, as far as I can remember.

[Lummy]

Members have, but not Congress. I voted for one of them for president once: Sen George McGovern.

[Tahuyaman]

Incorrect. There is no violation of the emoluments clause. There is no law which says a president is required to give up all previously owned business interests.

[Tahuyaman]

There are two reasons to impeach President Trump. Both involve waging war against Syria without congressional approval.

That could be a defendable position, but it would go nowhere because of the precedent it would set.

First of all, the allegations is that they were campaign contributions, not that the payment to keep quiet was illegal. Read your article. Second of all, it most certainly was not illegal to pay someone to keep quiet - even if his motive was electoral. Thirdly, I can't speak to the issue of a campaign violation, as I don't know.

The funny thing about the leftness is they forget History. Andrew Jackson.....was a foul mouthed Democrat. Democrats have always used profanity since their beginning. They also had no trouble bringing the disrespect to Republicans or their own within their primaries. So this is nothing new for their kind.


Deflecting to Trump is just that a deflection. Both Woodrow Wilson and FDR used profanity If they would have had the Lame Stream media today. As they are today.....they would have been busted out for the use of the N-word. Same with Johnson.


Still this disrespect is part of the Demo strategy for when they are not in power. The only reason they get away with the crap is due to Repubs saying nothing. Walking away, thinking they are taking the high road.


The Demos will learn there are now some New Breed Republicans that just wont put up with their disrespect.

Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., said he wants to apologize for a freshman Democrat's profane comment on impeaching President Trump.

Appearing on Fox News on Friday, Manchin called Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib's choice of words "deplorable." …..snip~

Well you are Right. Joe Manchin is a nobody. :laugh:

Joe Manchin is a Democrat in a hard Republican state trying desperately to hold on to power.

Well, yeah, he pretty much is. Hasn't really accomplished much, had to completely change his entire persona just to barely hold on to his seat.

Let's be honest, the only reason YOU give a shit about him is he's parroting your own position right now.

Actually the only reason he is relevant at this moment is.....that he proves you wrong. Of course Elijah Cummings saying her comment was inappropriate would have worked too.


But I figured I didn't need to show you 2 of your nobodies.

Well, try harder because I'm still correct. They are all concerned about the political implications of her calling for impeachment. Masking that behind the word "motherfucker" doesn't change the fact that they are pissed off that she's jumping the gun to impeachment when their strategy avoids impeachment altogether.

If you want to be naive enough to believe that on this one sole issue Democrats are suddenly honest, that's your fault.

On Day Two, Tlaib's Colleagues Are Already Furious With Her.....


Rep. Rashida Tlaib's (D-MI) had not even clocked in a full 24 hours as a congresswoman before making enemies in Washington, including several in her own party. On Thursday night, hours after being sworn in to the 116th Congress, Tlaib grabbed a microphone and pledged to impeach President Trump, whom she referred to as a "mother f***er."


Veterans Democrats in the House noted how...unhelpful her little speech was.



If only the Democratic leadership took such a strong stance on Tlaib's language. When asked to respond to the freshman representative's comments, the best Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi could come up with (https://townhall.com/tipsheet/mattvespa/2019/01/04/pelosi-on-congresswomans-impeach-motherfker-trump-comments-im-not-in-the-n2538515) was, "I'm not in the censorship business," before pivoting to criticize President Trump's language.


"Generationally, that would not be language I would use, but nonetheless, I don’t think we should make a big deal of it," Pelosi said, adding that what Tlaib said was "nothing worse" than what's come out of the president's mouth......snip~

As usual Pelosi.....deflects to Trump. Despite other Demos being appalled at the remarks.
Behind closed doors Pelosi is probably making her feelings known.

New Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib Goes off on Trump: ‘We’re Going to Impeach the Mother
Speaking for myself, I hope these new socialist leaning Democrats continue on this course. I encourage this kind of conduct.

[Tahuyaman]

Behind closed doors Pelosi is probably making her feelings known.
I’m sure she’s a proponent of impeachment. But then she’s exoerienced enough to know it would kill the Democratic Party for the short to near term.

Pelosi and Democratic Leaders Tread Carefully on Impeachment

I’m sure she’s a proponent of impeachment. But then she’s exoerienced enough to know it would kill the Democratic Party for the short to near term.

The last thing Pelosi wants is impeachment. She views Trump as a gift from heaven. Now that she controls the House again, she can put her knowledge of political power to work. Trump is a novice, he doesn't know what he's doing. So far, she's been outmaneuvering him.

I loathe Pelosi, but she's good at what she does, and that's maintaining her own power.

[Peter1469]

I expect she knows impeachment would be a disaster for the dems. But I also thinks that Trump being Trump will hurt the GOP in 2020.

[Mister D]

Generationally? Lol

[Captain Obvious]

Generationally? Lol

Do the math there.

So GW/Bammy/Trump are running the nation on a credit card - what generation pays for that? Voter perspective?

Millennials... that's reassuring, no?

ok but still

[Mister D]

I don't disagree but, as we discussed earlier, the problem is much deeper than many of us are willing to admit. I suspect that those who identify as millennials are just as delusional as their hippie forebears if they think they're going to march in and change things.

No you weren't correct as you said nobody. When there is in fact a couple of bodies. That stepped up and called her out for her use of language. Trying to play on the impeachment doesn't work. If you would have read the link the Demo that actually wrote up articles of Impeachment on Trump also called her out. Talking about respecting the Office of the Presidency.


There is no coming back to save face. You said Nobody. Now you were shown there were a few of those Nobodies that you say didn't exist. Face the fact.....you were wrong. Once again.

[MMC]

Behind closed doors Pelosi is probably making her feelings known.
She is definitely dancing with the prospect. But she also knows.....the Demos better have direct evidence and a solid surefire case. If not.....Trump wins re-election and gets the House back.

Tippy toeing thru the Tulips.

One thing is for sure- for the new Congress-critters, they need to learn that anything they say from here on out is likely to become public. So they should think about that.

[DGUtley]

I was convinced that they couldn't help themselves and that their conduct would help grease the skids for 2020. So far, I've been right.

If you are that desperate to be right, then I’ll help you out and say you’re right. When I said “nobody” I meant literally “nobody” and no politician has ulterior motives.

There ya go. You win! Good for you! Gold star today buddy. Let’s see how tomorrow looks. If you make it a gold star every day we’ll take you out for milkshakes at the end of the week.

You can't accomplish very much of anything unless you have civility and show respect for your colleagues," Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD) said (https://www.politico.com/story/2019/01/04/dems-livid-tlaib-impeachment-comment-1081370). "Those kind of comments do not take us in the right direction."

Cummings, who takes over as new chairman of the House Oversight and Reform Committee, added that Tlaib's comments were "inappropriate."



Even Rep. Brad Sherman (D-CA), who introduced (https://townhall.com/tipsheet/laurettabrown/2019/01/03/house-democrat-will-begin-first-day-of-new-congress-by-introducing-articles-of-impeachment-n2538459) actual articles of impeachment against Trump, was appalled by Tlaib's remarks.


“That’s not language I would use," he said. "I think the office of the presidency should be treated with respect.”.....snip~

I disagree with Hal Jordan and public officials should be held to a standard of decorum we would want all children to strive for.

Can you even imagine a congress where every congressman/woman gets up and motherfucks every sentence and calls all their colleagues on the other side $#@!s. Cmon Hal.

There should always be a level of decorum thats why most newstations bleep out swear words
Juvenile behavior is the norm for teenagers...and now most liberals. If the democrats spend the next two years trying to change the results of an election just because they lost, most people will say they've had enough of this nonsense.

Green Arrow...your JFK quote and the "walls of oppression and resistance" apply to the new liberal party. JFK would not recognize his own party today.

"Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance."

I mean how could you even type that bullshit and set yourself up for more diss. Like I said before you're not good at the diss. Try hanging around some rappers. It can only help your game.


Oh and deflecting from the reality you were trying to avoid. Doesn't help you out either. As a typical leftist you still haven't learned to leave well enough alone. Don't worry tho…..I blame your public education.
