Trump fires back at impeachment frenzy, after Dem’s profanity-laced threat
Trump not giving a set timeline on the US exit from Syria is a 'move back in the right direction' for Sen. Mike Rounds
President Trump fired back Friday at Democrats calling for his impeachment within moments of the 116th Congress convening, claiming he's had “the most successful first two years” of any president.
Trump spoke out on the impeachment calls after a video surfaced of freshman Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib making a profanity-laced vow to remove him from office. Without directly referencing the video, Trump tweeted:
“How do you impeach a president who has won perhaps the greatest election of all time, done nothing wrong (no Collusion with Russia, it was the Dems that Colluded), had the most successful first two years of any president, and is the most popular Republican in party history 93%?”
He also said that Democrats "only want to impeach me because they know they can’t win in 2020, too much success!"
Trump's claim of 93 percent support refers only to his support among loyal Republicans. Gallup polling for months has shown his job approval ratings underwater, with support hovering lately around 40 percent. Yet amid the various controversies surrounding his administration and the recent stock market dive, Trump on Friday was armed with a major dose of positive news when the Labor Department said employers added a stunning 312,000 jobs in December, blowing past expectations.
But while Trump highlights economic gains on his watch, Democrats are testing the bounds of the impeachment discussion.
Tlaib, D-Mich., after penning an op-ed for The Detroit Free Press calling for Trump’s removal from office, tore into the president before an enthusiastic crowd Thursday night, in newly surfaced video .
“People love you and you win,” Tlaib said. “And when your son looks at you and says, ‘Momma, look you won. Bullies don’t win.’ And I said, ‘Baby, they don’t, because we’re gonna go in there and we’re gonna impeach the motherf----r.’”
Democratic congresswoman calls for Trump impeachment
Tlaib’s op-ed also called Trump a “direct and serious threat” to the U.S. and called for impeachment proceedings to begin.
To remove a sitting president, the Constitution requires conviction by the Senate on “treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.” The impeachment process would require the consent of both the House and two-thirds of the Senate, which still has a Republican majority.
Rep. Brad Sherman, D-Calif., on Thursday also called for Trump’s removal, reintroducing articles of impeachment that he had filed last year with Democratic co-sponsor Rep. Al Green of Texas.
But newly instated House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., didn’t say whether the House would seriously consider impeaching the president -- at least until after the release of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report on his investigation into Russian meddling and potential collusion with Trump campaign associates during the 2016 presidential election.
“We have to wait and see what happens with the Mueller report,” Pelosi said on NBC’s “Today” Thursday. “We shouldn’t be impeaching for a political reason, and we shouldn’t avoid impeachment for a political reason. We have to see.”
White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders on Friday said Democrats are only going after the president because “they know they can’t beat him.”

“They can’t beat him when it comes to a policy debate and they’re not going to beat him when it comes to 2020,” Sanders said on “Fox & Friends” Friday. “They have no solutions for America. People are sick and tired of playing politics. They want them to come to Washington and actually work with the president to get something done.”
She added: “[Americans] want these individuals to actually come to help the president, not to fight.”

Does it bother me that a member of Congress referred to Donald Trump as a "mother fucker" ?
Not today. Before he became a politician it might have. He has more than earned every name he is called, and then some.
"Can't forget
We only get what we give"
wayy too tame
but that's me
im allways biting my fckn tung like a stick of gum
It didn't take long. A call for impeachment less that 24 hours after this POS was sworn in.
It is fun watching the Lefties "Come out of the closet" and show their True colors.
So much for the "LIE" of "Tolerance" ! LMFAO !
We knew they couldn't wait. They were going to at least pretend for a while that they weren't all about impeachment. Not even 24 hours after being sworn in this scum bag upstaged all her comrades. It will be hard, if not impossible for Pelosi to keep a lid on them.
Since the "Nutty Radicals" got voted in on the premise of them "Being Radical", and saying Pelosi shouldn't be "Speaker", Seems they are now sucking the "Teet of Pelosi" !
How "radical" of them. (Laughing Face)
Some of them broke that promise as soon as they got to the House. Also there was an under reported deal made:
"The speaker election was not without controversy, however. The California Democrat had to cut a handful of deals over the past two months with would-be opponents to shore up the support needed to win the floor vote, even though no one was challenging her for the post.
The deal that vanquished the final opponents standing in her way came with a hefty price tag: an agreement from Pelosi that she would not serve more than four more years as speaker ."
Isn't that Great ??????????????????? (Disgusted face)
It's ALWAYS about THEMSELVES !
An eye for an eye will make the whole world blind.

Apparently Donald Trump plans to go through four years of his presidential term only appealing to the third or so of Americans who are his ardent supporters. We have never seen anything this delusional in the history of the Republic.
as hard as it may be to fathom, i'm no stranger to Abbey
as the Abbey Way is my everyday, but,
I'd of NEVER IMAGINED MY MONIKER
Could ever be THIS FRICKEN ACCURATE, YET IT IS, N
then some.
Not good for US ALL.
It is a social experiment, resemblance of excrement gone wild, as
peoples defend the LIAR IN CHIEF'S own Poster Child, with posts
that can bear no weight, as
it is becoming uncomfortable for some to even watch the feeble attempts to defend the Orange Clown Catastrophe , that's having catastrophic consequential consequence, where as it comes to the TRUTH,
hurting all, that defend the one with tales so tall, and morals so small, like to scrtch hiz eye
lashed to it awl , with a one eye ocean liner, lined with dessert dry freezed goods, for the no, good cause, is as at steaked out, are the no limits around the bungling bun burner blasphemy blasting blowhard, who finds it so natural
to not artificially Blow, as the winds of change, be sexually active and soothing to the i can't accept that i was so foolish to vote for this box of tree fort dix ie athletic cup supporters,
who cannot hold up the puppet boy with hands Putin up inside
cause trumppy is a Fungus
aMOng Us , without emotional growth, though plentY of whore moans , deafinitely stunted growth of such a Fungi
with mushroom between thigh, so a Stormy did blow bye
I can't believe that 93% of republicans actually support him
the cup runnith over
with jock supporting a temperamental child, who's lies and tantrums have most put in Time Out, not Putin the White house of horrors
source?
More than half of independents and a lot of Democrats do too.
You win (the award for most delusional comment of the week).
no leftwing or neo-con weapon formed against trump will prosper.
but you will be entertained regardless
now showing the hit new movie "Panic In DC"
"Grab a seat" ?
I thought our moral and ethical 2 liter cheater sad "grab em by the pussy" which makes you wonder why if "they just let you " did Trumppy have to fork out to pork, out and about little playmates that went on to graduate to Pornstars.
Must be
The Art of the Deal, that trumppy be ttrumpeting about
Move over and share the popcorn. This is going to be fun to watch the democrats try to impeach the President. The only thing they have is
1. He beat them at their game.
2. He KEEPS beating them at their game.
3. He hurt their feelings. (over and over over and over over and over over and over again)
It's borderline pathetic / fun to watch the liberal / leftist fools have a stroke daily on here.
It's great entertainment. Trump frightens them to the point of hysteria.
He's going to win in 2020 because the Democrats are in complete disarray, have no electable candidates, and an agenda that is too far left extreme for the good people of America.
hey Greg, do you ever have a Jones for the Truth ?
Too much attention is paid to the language. You can disapprove of the language, and that's fine, but it's ultimately a distraction. We spend so much time pretending to be outraged by the language that we never get to actually dealing with issues.
damn Taco, two consecutive daze N a row, we agree...?
have you seen the light ?
C'mon Gold finger fish,
I want the hole
enchilada dish
is that a decaffeinated Tea Bag ?
hold the cream , please
I do enjoy a good burrito.
I figured you for a tamale man
There's not a lot of Mexican food I won't consume like a greedy starving man. There's a guy around here who brings tamales to the farmer's market and I just embarrass myself on that guy's food.
Good tamales are hard to find around here. If you can find good ones, then embarass yourself. LOL!
I'll bite my tongue, cause i don't want Tacos to bite it.
Some people apparently forget the existing 'triple standards' in modern day political life.
After all, Helsinki ain't nothing right?
Newly elected Congress person Tlaib surely should have known better.
After all, her comment is a trillion times more offensive that those on the right that proclaimed the 'Gorilla in heels'---and Obama daughters as 'Crack whores'---right?
Impeach the Trump? Nah. When Putin has no more need for him the dose of Cesium 294 will be implemented.
sounds like a Glowing endorsement
So how is taking orders and being the mouthpiece for Putin doing that, exactly, Sarah?
Considering the fascist, racist filth that has been pouring out of the mouths of republicans for years, Tlaib's comment barely registers as profanity in that category.
OMG...the sky is falling !!!
This article tries to act like every other word was a cuss word, when that is not the case. Should expect no less from fox news. Twisting one cuss word into a profanity laced tirade.
Then ignoring or praising trump when he calls people names.
I swear, it's like dealing with children.
Let see. If I remember correctly you all on the left went apeshit when a congressman rightfully called Obama a liar. I think having one call the president a MF is exponentially worse.
So you are saying that calling Obama a liar during a State Of The Union address is just fine, but a woman issuing a statement during her own speech is bad.
Are you trying to tell me that calling someone a MF is better than telling the truth and calling someone a liar regardless of the situation?
Oh please, spare me the faux indignation.
The situation has a lot to do with it. So I say for now on, when ever trump tells a lie, people should should shout at him, You Lie.
That would be every time he speaks.
I see that you have changed from your original comment and went out on a different tangent. Why not just admit you were wrong instead if taking the liberal way out and move the goalposts .
Please enlighten we the unenlightened as to just exactly what the lie Obama allegedly lied about that the congressman Joe Wilson screeched from the assembly safely ensconced with his fellow white brethren during the first Black President's first State of The Union.
Ah...……...the courage...…….the fortitude...…...the raw oyster breath of the great congressman, Joe Wilson.
Had she done it on the floor of the House by interrupting the President's speech she probably would have been rightly punished for it. Since none of that happened your analogy is so far off the mark as to be beyond absurd. You don't even merit a "nice try, no cigar."
i don't remember Trumpsters being bothered when Kanye used the word in his bizarre Oval Office performance.
I forgot about that!
So, you think that a US Representative and a rap artist have equivalent public positions? I would argue that they do not.
So the fact that it was in the Oval Office and a big publicity stunt for and with Scumbag right grinning like the big chimp he is and later offering that Kanye could be presidential material some day is irrelevant. Let's go to the video, shall we?
She's a Palestinian first and an American second. This level of immaturity and lack of civility is thus not unexpected.
So, it's okay if I say, for example, on the subject of Israel, Alan Dershowitz is an Israeli first and an American second. For that matter, it seems Scumbag Trump is a Russian first, a self-dealer second and way down the line an American.
