Joe Kennedy III calls for impeachment proceedings against President Trump

[TexasTowelie]

Representative Joseph Kennedy III is calling on the House to begin impeachment proceedings against President Trump, adding his voice to a growing Democratic chorus calling for action in the wake of the scathing report by special counsel Robert Mueller.

“I believe it is time for the House to begin impeachment proceedings against the President. This is not a decision I made lightly, nor is it one to celebrate,” Kennedy said in a statement Friday afternoon releasedafter an interview with WPRI. “It’s a dark day for our country when its Commander-in-Chief is accused of high crimes. But after reading the Mueller report in full, reviewing the facts and consulting with legal experts, I believe Congress has a responsibility to act decisively.”

Kennedy has, until now, advocated the continuation of existing inquiries, telling the Globe in May that while impeachment couldn’t be ruled out, “we should continue to investigate his potential obstruction of justice, abuse of power, and financial conflicts of interest in the relevant committees.”

His announcement marks a rare instance of Kennedy bucking his caucus leaders. He’s developed a reputation as a team player and loyal ally of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who has been steadfast in her view that pursuing impeachment against Trump is the wrong political strategy for Democrats to take.

Move to Kansas City in 2 weeks .... where they have no offices or labs .... or be fired.

Members of Congress representing many of the D.C.-based federal workers whose jobs are about to be reassigned or moved to the Midwest are running out of ways to try to stop the Trump administration from relocating those offices.

Democratic lawmakers have written a flurry of letters, bills and amendments in a race to block the measures before the end of the fiscal year on Sept. 30, with little success.

Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue last month finalized plans to move about 550 jobs at two scientific agencies in the Agriculture Department from Southwest Washington to the greater Kansas City region.

In a separate move, the administration has threatened to furlough and possibly lay off 150 workers at the Office of Personnel Management, the federal workforce’s human resources agency, if Congress blocks the administration’s plans to eliminate the department.

Trump wants to bring back WW II tanks for his parade.

New Sherman Tanks? Trump Brags Parade Will Feature Them, Though They Were Discontinued in 1957

According to the Washington Post’s Josh Dawsey, the President claimed, “And we’re gonna have some tanks stationed outside… So we have to put them in certain areas but we have the brand new Sherman tanks and we have the brand new Abram tanks.”

Greg Miller, also from the Post, pointed out that Trump was mistaken. He wrote on Twitter, “Trump says July 4 celebration will have “brand new Sherman tanks. Sherman tanks haven’t been in service since 1957.”

2. WTF, it's probably too late to impeach now,

Republicans will claim it's just an election ploy.

Trump and his complicit M$M will control the narrative without an impeachment inquiry. It sure would have been nice to get that grand jury information which would have been a lot more revealing than a redacted Mueller report.

There are no good reasons not to impeach.
