Give the People What They Want: Impeach Trump! |
For over a year, firing President Donald Trump via Impeachment in Congress has been a taboo subject for the so-called Democratic leadership—House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY). Recently, their grip on their flock is unravelling. (See: RootsAction’s petition “Tell Democrats in Congress to Insist That Schumer and Jeffries Step Aside.”)
Jeffries is a repetitive “one-note Charley”—“House Democrats are going to focus on making life more affordable for the American people.” Speak for yourself, Hakeem. The majority of House Democrats are for Impeachment in part because Trump’s war, wage, price, and tariff policies define UNAFFORDABILITY and, in part, because he is driven by a dangerously unstable, violent personality whose accusations against his critics “as deranged and demented” can be more precisely applied to his megalomanic state of mind that worsens by the week.
Calls for impeachment or removal by the 25th Amendment are coming from not just “…partisans on the left, late-night comics, or mental health professionals… It can be heard now among retired generals, diplomats, and foreign officials. And most strikingly, it can be heard now on the political right among onetime allies of the president,” reports The New York Times’ formidable White House reporter Peter Baker.
Some of this resurgence has been provoked recently by Tyrant Trump himself—the Jesus episode, the epithets about Pope Leo, threats to wiping out Iran’s 5,000-year civilization, and many more unhinged vituperatives and chronic lying about serious matters of state on his misnamed Truth Social.
Trump, of course, just keeps doubling down with his clenched-jawed rage, strengthening the case against himself.
A majority of Americans polled want him impeached. A corporate lawyer-dominated Bar Association of the New York City Bar last month issued a detailed report concluding with the demand that Trump be immediately impeached. (See report: 'The Crisis Deepens: Congress Must Act Now to Address Escalating Abuses of Executive Power.")
Trump, of course, just keeps doubling down with his clenched-jawed rage, strengthening the case against himself. His impulsive ego-rage is off the charts. He falsely boasts that he has ended nine wars with a 10th coming in Lebanon—a war he backed and provided Israel with weapons without conditioning their use in the mass war crimes Israel commits daily.
