Democrats Plan Trump Impeachment? 

Democrats have no handle on what to do with President Trump. No handle at all. We are 17 days deep into the Trump administration, and it feels like he’s been president for a couple of years because of the pace at which he is moving. It is absolutely unprecedented.

I have to imagine the Democrats feel like a boxer who is simply outclassed because the person they are facing down is throwing such a flurry of punches that by the time they even realize they’ve been punched, the next punch is already on its way and there is no possibility of slipping past it.

Because they are being totally outclassed only 17 days into Trump’s administration, Democrats are going right back to the old playbook, which means — impeachment.

Trump has been president for 17 days.

This just shows that the Democrats’ goal with Trump all along was never an honest accounting of presidential power. It was never about whether Trump had actually committed impeachable offenses when they impeached him twice.

It was never about any of that. It was this simple: They hated him.

It was beyond their reckoning that a Republican president might actually do the kinds of things that Trump wanted to do. Thus, they were going to use whatever tools they had at their disposal, whether it was impeachment, legal prosecution, deep state fakery in an attempt to undermine his popularity with the American public, or media and social media manipulation.

17 days in and the Democrats are already reverting to type. They are already saying they will do anything possible to stop Trump from enacting an agenda that was approved by the majority of the American people.

On Wednesday, Representative Al Green of Texas said he plans to introduce articles of impeachment against President Trump, accusing him of “ethnic cleansing” regarding his plans for Gaza. “Ethnic cleansing has been a crime against humanity, and I stand here today in the well to denounce what he said, to denounce what the president said,” he bellowed. “I rise to announce that the movement to impeach the president has begun. I rise to announce that I will bring Articles of Impeachment against the president for dastardly deeds proposed and dastardly deeds done.”

“Dastardly proposed and dastardly deeds?” I didn’t realize those were “high crimes and misdemeanors” under the Constitution of the United States. Green is going to write in his Articles of Impeachment, “Dastardly deeds done.” That’s going to be what it says?

By the way, what Trump is proposing for the Gaza Strip is not, in fact, ethnic cleansing. He is proposing that people ought to be allowed to voluntarily leave an area where there is nothing but rubble. There is no economy. There are no jobs. There is nothing. And then that place would be rebuilt into something that is actually great and decent, and some of those people would be allowed back, depending upon their circumstances. That is the proposal Trump has actually put forward.

According to Green, that’s now impeachable. But it doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter what Trump did. Green could have found a thousand things to “impeach Trump” over. He is saying, by the way, that the articles of impeachment are still a “work in progress.”

“Senior Democratic sources brushed off Green’s efforts, casting him as a backbencher who is not in coordination with leadership,” Axios reported, but that will last precisely as long as they think they can’t actually get any steam behind it.

Democrats are absolutely struggling, one of the reasons for which is that Trump is picking targets that are unpopular for Democrats, and he is hitting them with regularity. This is the most targeted administration I have ever seen in my entire life. He’s picked a set of targets that are 80-20 targets in favor of the Republican position, and he is hitting them over and over.

Democrats are in full-scale disarray. Aesthetically, they’re in disarray. Organizationally, they’re in disarray. The Democratic National Committee just picked David Hogg as its vice chair. Meanwhile, Chuck Schumer (D-NY), the Senate minority leader, is attempting to lead chants, and it is going wildly wrong. He showed up to protest along with his fellow Democrats like Maxine Waters (D-CA) and Al Green.

Remember, Green is supposed to be a “backbencher,” yet he is right next to Chuck Schumer at a rally protesting Elon Musk’s access to the Treasury Department.

As my producer Savi pointed out, it sounded like a chant at the nursing home right before they take them away to naptime: “At 5 p.m., we will all rest.”

In a piece titled, “Blow this place up,” POLITICO wrote:

Senate Democrats are struggling to deal with a rising tide of anger inside their party as President Donald Trump and billionaire ally Elon Musk run roughshod over federal agencies, with House members seething and activists demanding they “shut down the Senate” in response. 

Instead, it has in many ways been business as usual in the Senate over the first two weeks of Trump’s second term. Republicans have ground through procedural obstacles to confirm nearly a dozen Cabinet nominees, a pace that alarms a broad swath of Democrats.

The lack of organized pushback has many Democrats wondering when Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and other party leaders will put forward a more aggressive strategy for resisting the GOP blitzkrieg that has already gutted the U.S. foreign-aid agency, halted many federal grants and left government employees shell-shocked.

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, she of bartending and low IQ, said, “This is not business as usual, and Senate Democrats should not be treating this as business as usual. We need to see a halt on all Trump nominees.”

Do it. Try to stop all the nominees; shut down the Senate. Go for it. Let’s see how that goes for you. See if the American people like that particular plan. 

House Speaker Johnson said, “The President is doing exactly what he said on the campaign trail that he would do, and he’s delivering on that. We’re a big part of that, and we’re going to do it as well. Meanwhile, the Democratic Party truly is seemingly lost. They have no rudder; they have no vision. They have no clear leader. The only message they have is anti-President Trump, and we’ve all seen that that’s a failed strategy time after time.”

Exactly.

Democrats don’t have a strategy. So they have decided impeachment, obstruction. Let’s see how that goes for them.

They are picking some of the worst things in the world to defend. It turns out the American people do not like wasting billions of dollars on ridiculous giveaway projects to Democrats’ friends. The Democrat blue taxpayer pipeline that was set up by the bureaucracy inside the executive branch had billions of dollars flowing from unelected bureaucrats in the executive branch to non-governmental organizations run by unelected Democrats outside the executive branch all over the world — and that pipeline is coming to an end thanks to the Department of Government Efficiency.

I’m old enough to remember when Democrats laughed at DOGE, saying it wasn’t a real thing. “Elon Musk, what’s he really going to be doing?” And then President Trump gave Musk the keys to the car, go into all of these agencies, begin gutting them, and start looking at all the problems in the agencies.

Musk and Trump going in and cleaning the government out? Turns out the American people like that.

And all the Democrats can do is caterwaul about impeachment.

Good luck with that.
