Why not NOW?

Impeach yourselves.wethe people love our President. Stop throwing fits. You aren’t the only American in town

End this nightmare

Schiff needs to be removed along with others who can't get past their own HATE of one man and can't get things done for the American people like health care to change open boarder.If these Congress and House don't get some things done before election it will be BAD FOR THEM.

I hope they do. This will all but guarantee Trump will remain our president for another term. thanksdems

Liberals,Democrats😡are like rabid mad dogs?..They’ve been wounded,beaten,No collusion!No evidence,great economy. They got nothing!!now all they can do is bark bark impeachment!.A sick dog will bark in fear of his these sick political animals out!👎👎👎

Go for it Shitty

After lying for 3 years Schiff says Republican should put COUNTRY before party. Resist Resist by him & fellow Dems & an attempted Coup & he says county before party. He said that with a straight face !

Past time !!do something or get off the trump ride ! Way to much crimes have been broken ! Who is it ok for this fool to get away with his crimes any other president should have been impeach by now !

Dems aren’t sure if they want to open this can of worms. Sure they may take Trump down, but he won’t be the only one going down. They will have to clean their own house also. It’s much bigger than Trump.

Schiffs finally getting impeached? Sweet.

Hoping you will investigate but.... most ppl want affordable healthcare, loser prescription drugs,fix opioid prob, immigration, climate change etc. do not make impeach only sole goal. Go multiple prong or forget it. Impeach not only goal

What’s to discuss? Do it.

LMAO can't wait to see these scoundrels make fool's out if themselves...

Risky Lib You're afraid to start impeachment proceedings because you're afraid that will offend Trump voters? Go read the damn Constitution and get back to me. This isn't political. 45 is 1000 times worse than the cover-up of the burglary of the opposition party headquarters.

Impeach. Do your job congress.

WP will love this. ROTTEN FAKE NEWS!

Go ahead it's doesn't matter the senate won't vote to impeach. How about doing something for Americans, like protecting our borders,infrastructure, homelessness in America. Instead of being sore losers all because a bitter old white woman lost.

Again, why wait so long?

Good

Idiots...

Beat them at the ballot box

That will never happen, but even if it does so what? Pence takes the lead? I think he’s even worse.

Impeachment would only fire up trumps base. The senate will not convict Trump and without the conviction it's another loss for Dems.

well lets see we wasted 600 plus days on the Muller prob only too have no Russian Collusion found and since can't obstruct a crime that didn't happen, what is there grounds impeach for, wait for it nothing. Democrats are nothing more than a bunch of sore losers. maga2020

Good luck losers

You all need to pray for America. And read the Bible too.

With all due respect RepAdamSchiff, what is there to discuss? Please proceed with impeachment.

Janektaylor How about tomorrow!! We don’t have a few weeks!

Salacious but you buy the result before you know what you’re getting. Pence and revenge votes in 2020? Dirty laundry you want buried?

Do not pursue impeachment. You will lose. Ifs you win, we will have Pence as President and YOU will be responsible

The hole just keeps getting deeper and deeper

If you’re discussing IF you should impeach, let me save you some time. Listen to Elizabeth Warren and DO YOUR JOBS! Impeach now!

lol

Dems 2020

nytimes TeamPelosi AdamSchiff RepJerryNadler RepCummings NicolleDWallace ericswalwell SenKamalaHarris AOC maddow There must be a path to impeachment. Donald Trump should not be allowed to continue his Presidency. He is a detriment to the United Stares and the world.

Will this be another overseas trip guys

I’m starting to think they aren’t taking the election results very well...

How about tomorrow? Getting really ticked that everything is weeks away when democracy is dying. Its like calling 911 because you’re having a stroke and being told the ambulance will be there a week from Sunday. WTF

I remember last Easter when Democrats were worshipping Mueller as their new savior, who rose from the dead and to absolve US Democracy of its sins. Now they denounce him as a false prophet, having succumbed to the deceptive spell of Lucifer (Trump) and his apprentice (Bill Barr)

The man to hate till he’s run out of office. Schiff is a total creep.

Dems need to clarify message, I think vast majority of Dems on same page, move forward with step one, collect the facts and evidence, It is like saying send the case to the jury without presenting the evidence. While not yearning for impeachment Dems are committed to duty.

Trump 2020

Oh the same way he said Trump was a RUSSIA spy

And this is why you will lose again 20. Party without message. MAGA

The sooner the better! We need him out of office now! He's mentally incompetent and he's not willing to adhere to the laws of our nation.

TermLimitsFFS oh come on!

You can have your meeting at the Leavenworth prison cafeteria at lunchtime.

Fakenews media and the DemonRats would still have the ones left who still believe their story spins that impeachment is still on the table when it clearly is not. Smh lol

Let him go. He’ll hang himself real good.

Bless their hearts.

Who cares the Republicans own the Senate. And the Senate has the sole Power to try all Impeachments.

Yes, deliberating is the wise path. Each voice & nuance will lead to a better grasp of what's at stake & how best reach the goal before us. Our trust in Pelosi, Nadler, Schiff & others gives us confidence as they guide us in these murky waters of obstruction.

Getrdone!!

Not fast enough. Get rid off the sucker ASAP

Good luck dirt bag! SetUp CoupAttempt

Does anyone care what this liar thinks anymore? Seriously

What is wrong with everyone on this thread? Do any of you stop for one minute and consider who will be POTUS the day after? Really? AllTheStupidPeople WhereDoTheyAllComeFrom BeCarefulWhatUWish4

Keep it up Shiffty and we will see your party crushed in 2020.

Forget it, we have a Republican Senate. They will not impeach Trump

Is there a throw up emoji? Insert here

By the time they go for impeachment Barr Horowitz and Huber will release information that will put a lot of the Obama cronies in jail. If not Obama himself

HAHA....Nothing impeachable. The DEMs are still trying to overthrow the duly elected Presidnet. When you going to actual report the truth WashingtonPost.?

In a few hours you mean? Cmon!!!!

Bout damn time.

Weeks

Good!

ImpeachmentNOW ImpeachmentHearingsNOW ImpeachTrumpNow DumpTrump DumpTrump2020

Discuss away. This is the road to losing elections

Schifty is a career criminal. TermLimitsNow

What a waste of time. Time better spent writing legislation to end the chaos at the border. But then they'd be doing their job and that's the last thing Congess ever does.

No they won’t

I had they do impeach Omar, AOC, Waters and Pelosi.

I think they should meet to discuss how to apologize 😜😄❗

The Democratic Party has gone to to dogs. Hopefully the defeat awaiting in 2020 will create a basis to remove the ignorant wing that seems to have hijacked the party

Shouldn’t they do their jobs and write bills and stuff?

Meet all you want it's a wast of tax money like the Mueller thing $30,000,000 wasted

Forget the politics. Do what is right.

Think long and hard as this decision will outline our future! Make the USA have a great future as the UNITED States, not the Divided States!

Sickening

Impeach!!

How about framing this as 'lawmakers will meet' rather than as a partisan frame?

Democrats will loose big time if they start impeachment proceedings. American People are sick of there garbage.

They will also be discussing how to get out of treasonous actions taken by the party.

Not whether they CAN, but whether they do it without suffering severe blowback in the following election. True politicians; not integrity for truth or rule of law.

Dems must impeach. Trump is profoundly corrupt, with documented cases of 'high crimes'. This is not political, it is a constitutional duty and sends a message to all future generations that we will not tolerate corruption.

BIGGEST LIAR I HAVE EVER SEEN!! 🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥

Agreed. Move bus to impeach pencil neck Schiff for lying to the American people.

They've already had all weekend. Why do they need weeks?

Democrats need to meet MONDAY to discuss impeachment.

Several Democrats need to removed from office and charged with crimes against America.

Let's do this! Bring on the vote. Sick of all the wasted time money and hatred spread by Elected Dems and MSM. You all are full of hate and don't give 2 hoots about the people or truth. DeepStateCorruption

Tick tock.. Remove the cancer before it kills us.

Bug deal. They are just trying to keep their loyal minions loyal.

Can they meet to discuss health care for all?

hihi, Dems are getting crazy

Please don't try and impeach. You do not have the votes in the Senate and may cause a sympathy vote in 2020.

Maybe they could rent one of those nice meeting rooms at the Standard Hotel?

“So... I’m seeing some open slots on your calendar (checks notes) tomorrow.” WTF

IMPEACH

Get the ball rolling,Adam. We demand justice for the sake of our democracy.

I can understand somethings, but for group of people who are suppose to know so much more then the average person, certainly has showed a huge lack of common sense, they have proven the greed of power is so much more important, they haven’t learned a damm thin in 2 years.

The weak and delusional Dems along with the liberal media throw around this word Impeachment, but do not have the courage to act. That's because they know they'll have to confront The Real American People first. Please don't think we elected Donald Trump just to fool around !

Impeach impeach impeach the arrest him for treason

Yep absolutely move forward immediately impeach😂😂 let’s see how that works out for you in 2020. In the meantime all of the corruption over the last 2 to 3 years and your side will be exposed, be sure of that.

Schiff needs to be impeached and brought up on charges of treason!

JSmithpolitics1 Thanks for continuing to remind us what a terrible thing the MSM and the DEMs did to President Trump.

JSmithpolitics1 HouseDemocrats HouseGOP gop Another Lie ! You have been meeting & conspiring on since Nov, 2016. The real challenge is to find an illegitimate reason that you can sell and if there is an invisible hand of justice, you will not succeed with your conspiracy. Trump2020

DeannaMc1 Days . Next few DAYS.

WEEKS?

Oh...that means its not unanimous and its not gonna happen.

You dems are good at wasting time and people’s money. The fat lady has sung shifty. Muller report benign, so go suggest meaningful legislation

These clowns have multiple reasons to beat Trump at the polls in 2020, but they cannot get out of there own way.

I think they should meet Monday.

Please investigate the Democrats that have created this sham investigation and smeared the president.

Stop this now America is sick of it. Fix our roads, protect the net, upgrade our grid. Do something you lazy fools before its too late.

for what reason are the 'looking pretty foolish' democrats going to use

You misspelled 'days'

No collusion means no collusion. How hard is that to understand. Proof right in their faces.. Over kill. Stupid. Never happy Democrats..

desperatedemocrats

Can we impeach Schiff?

Don’t discuss it! Plan who to bring it into action and have it work and triumph!

Weeks? How about days.

They are meeting to figure out how to get out of the hole, they dug for themselves! This will all come back to them. Wait for it. IG report coming to a news cycle near you! A.G.Barr's investigation, they are running scared now!! He is a man of the law, a lawyers, lawyer!

They'll keep it going to throw cover over JusticeOIG Report coming out with criminal referrals for their cabal list of actors for treason. Question is how high will TheJusticeDept go with their investigation and make charges?

meet 'in the next few weeks'? next few WEEKS shouldn't they have been meeting this weekend. every day he's in power is a day our country is further damaged.

Good. Impeachment is the right thing to do. Trump has clearly committed high crimes and is a threat to the country.

Should help CNN and MSNBC ratings and get Dems face time. Smart.

Yes, Trump is corrupt, little to no morals definitely has no Human decency. But how was this monster able to do so much & take advantage of our political system?

Again really wow

🤣😂🤣😂they’ve been Discussing since 2016, some one tell them the wars over ,they lost . This is just not going to happen , impeachment is the new collusion , doomed to failure as the last hoax.

ACT NOW!!!!!

A few weeks This should have already happened.

What problem would changing to President Pence solve?

ImpeachmentNOW

Impeach RepAdamSchiff and imprison the coup plotters.

Do it, it’s your job to get this unqualified liar out of office.

Oh do you not understand it is over American people do not want to hear this garbage surely all the viewers you have lost since the Meuller report is a wake up call Surely not to Trump deranged syndrome suffers

If they decline out of fear of voter backlash as the GOP had suffered after Clinton’s impeachment they’re bigger cowards than I give them credit for. Dems would be handed the gov by a greatful nation in 2020 because Trump is an actual criminal.

What are these Fifth Graders trying to do next? Get over it, come up with new brighter strategies in order to win back what they wanted. Keep doing these Fifth Grader's stuffs is self destruction.

Yes! Impeach. We dare you. :)

They needed to do this yesterday.

Those who want to impeach Trump should be impeached and face criminal charges.

ImpeachmentNow

Impeachment proceedings will be symbolic at best. It's needed to show that no one is above the law, but removal from office is a pipe dream. There is no way 2/3 of the Senate votes for removal. I don't think Pence would be any better as President

Hahahah worst party ever you should start impeachment on Monday SpeakerPelosi RepJerryNadler

That way we can be sure Russia will not I interfere with this election for Trump. Impeach is th only way.

What a joke. I hope they do keep talking about this stupidity and do nothing to contribute to fixing what is broken in America. We, the American people are sick of it and we will show these Democrat losers how sick we are, in 2020, of the political games... keep it up.

I would rather his ass go down in defeat and take a prison bus to prison! This election will not be about Party first, it’s going to be pulling the People together, restoring the rule of law and our democracy! I’m not affiliated with any party, but I will vote for someone better!

Lol

Umm, sir. We don't have weeks. ImpeachmentNOW

Take your time, boys, wouldn't want you to do anything rash after a mere two years of open corruption.

Good! They need to begin working towards removing Trump.

Everything democrats do backfires so go ahead

Ok turtleneck 🐢

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Why do people think taking time to think about their response to the Mueller report before taking action is a weakness?

America CAN NOT wait for an election to remove him, his staff, his administration from office. Each and everyone has shone that they put Donald above America

Few weeks smdh

Few weeks It should have been yesterday!! Way over do

Republicans are busy investigating the perpetrators of the real scandal, which was instigated by Democrat activists in Obama's govt agencies in collusion with Democrat-run media political activists.

'weeks', 'discuss' SpeakerPelosi AdamSchiff Start this week or flip this vote forever

Trump is Bad MmmmKay!

No Collusion tho. No Obstruction tho. Yeah.....

Good. It will only help realDonaldTrump ! LOL

let me help, guys and gals. If you will not stand up to trump and his cult NOW, you cannot have my vote to keep you in office later. simple math.. anybody else with me?

THEY ARE MEETING FOR LAST OVER THE DESTRUCTION OF THIER OWN PARTY BY BECAUSE THEY WANT TRUMP SO BAD OUT OF OFFICE.

It's about time. ImpeachTrumpNow impeach Impeach45

Impeach. Hold public hearings. Shine the light on what was done and what was tried. Shine the light on just how far Senate GOP will go to protect Trump. Provide oversight. Do your job.

Thanks for the in kind donation to re-election campaign

Trump’s obstruction and compromised actions after willfully encouraging Russian interference cannot be allowed to go unchecked. This is not behavior for future president’s. Please stand for the rule of law.

Why to impeach such a good president.

Good, Barr will be working to expose what really happened in 2016. Clearly, Obama and his administration did nothing to try and stop Russians from infiltrating our country, why was realDonaldTrump never briefed? Why did AdamSchiff meet with Simpson in Aspen? realDonaldTrump

Looking to build a CYA file?

Unless you want this dumpster-fire happening again - ImpeachTheMF !

Is there a bigger embarrassment to America than AdamSchiff and ericswalwell. These two are a disgrace and lied to the American people. They should be impeached, not POTUS!!

If they move forward with impeachment, then they prove that they are more corrupt than what we have now. Easy republican win in 2020

Impeachment won’t get Trump. Why? Trump gets impeached. By some miracle, Repubs go along & Trump is found guilty. Pence is now Prez & pardons Trump. Trump goes scott free. Better? Trump voted out in 20. Trump indicted & convicted for obstruction. No pardon from Dem Prez. Bingo!

And Democrates will do all in their power to divide the nation gain power and eliminate the voice of the people.

'Democrats will meet in the next few weeks to discuss impeachment,' The effete, effeminate Pencil neck says. There. Fixed it for you

Weeks? Umm, no. Act NOW!

Deployables are all ready discussing your removal

Act now- impeach- get the truth out to the American people- we are watching 👀

Incarcerate!

. LOLOLOL LOLOLOL LOLOLOL LOLOLOL LOLOLOL LOLOLOL LOLOLOL LOLOLOL LOLOLOL LOLOLOL

Why not now? Waiting on the latest poll?

Impeachment for what? Because Hillary Clinton lost presidential election?

Good. Republican Landslide 2020.
