WASHINGTON A Democratic lawmaker from Texas who filed impeachment articles against President Donald Trump during his first term is vowing to do it again within the month.
Rep. Al Green, who was kicked out of the president's recent joint congressional address for standing and yelling in protest, said at one of the many anti-Trump demonstrations held across the country Saturday that he'll file the longshot motion in the next 30 days.
"He is a Goliath," Green said, referring to Trump at a rally in the nation's capital. "But my friends, my friends, for every Goliath there is a David."
He continued: "I want you to know, Mr. President, this David is going to bring articles of impeachment against you within the next 30 days."

He apparently reiterated this at a rally yesterday as I had heard he was planning to do this anyway.

The playing field has changed significantly and will change more in the short term.
We do not know what the situation is in the House. He is there and he knows things we do not. I respect him and appreciate him and will support every chance to stop this destruction.
I'm not saying it will or won't prevail. I don't know but no one else does either.
Giving up is foolish.
Bless him!

(1,355 posts)The same way that Corey Booker's 25 hour long "filibuster" speech helped get Dems off the couch this past weekend and
onto huge protests.
We make the news in a good way when we're angry.
We need to do sh*t instead of just taking it.
Right now, if sh*t works, great!
If it doesn't work, it's other effect is for Dems to be seeing Dems going on offense & actively engaging the other side..

Trump definitely needs to be impeached and removed from office. There's only one way to accomplish that.
