Democratic Mega-Donor Demands Democrats Pledge to Impeach Trump
2017-10-12
[FREEBEACON] Tom Steyer, Democratic mega-donor and environmentalist, has demanded Democratic politicians and candidates pledge to to push for the impeachment of President Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
if they take control of Congress next year.

Steyer, a Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, investor and multi-billionaire who donated more than $91 million to Democratic campaigns during the 2016 cycle, issued a letter to Democrats on Wednesday demanding a pledge to push for Trump's impeachment, the New York Times

...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize...

reported.

In his message, Mr. Steyer described Mr. Trump as a "clear and present danger to the republic" and called on Democrats to pledge that they would seek to remove him from office if they take control of Congress next year.

Mr. Steyer ‐ who is considering a run for Senate, perhaps against Senator Dianne Feinstein
...Dem Senator-for-Life from Caliphornica. She has been a politician since about the time she was weaned. Feinstein was the author of the 1994 Federal Assault Weapons Ban, and tried it a second time in 2012. Feinstein has chaired the Select Committee on Intelligence since 2009. At age 80, Feinstein is the oldest currently serving United States Senator....
, a fellow Democrat ‐ cited a range of acts by Mr. Trump to justify impeachment, including the president’s "relationship with Vladimir Putin
...Second and fourth President and sixth of the Russian Federation and the first to remain sober. Putin is credited with bringing political stability and re-establishing something like the rule of law, which occasionally results in somebody dropping dead from polonium poisoning. Under Putin, a new group of business magnates controlling significant swathes of Russia's economy has emerged, all of whom have close personal ties to Putin. The old bunch, without close personal ties to Putin, are in jail or in exile or dead...
and Russia," allegations that Mr. Trump has used the presidency to "promote his own business interests" and his "seeming determination to go to war."

#8  Go to your room, Besoeker. That wasn't a pun, but it's precisely as egregiously bad. Or you win the thread -- one of the two applies.

Same group of haters, my intended message :-(

#7  You sure it isn't DiFi on Al's Heimers drugs?

#6  If this guy runs for Senate against DiFi it will most likely get down to a runoff between the two in the general election because, of course, no Republican stands a chance in Calipr0nia. I would then find myself in the most uncomfortable position of being forced to vote for DiFi because, incredible as it may sound, Steyer is even worse.

I know I said yesterday that Feinstein is a Senator for life but...Calipr0nia has instituted an unusual system in which the two top vote getters in the primary run against each other in the general regardless of party affiliation. That's how in 2016 Democrat Kamala Harris faced off against Democrat Lorena Sanchez.

So Steyer with his big bucks could give Feinstein a run for her money.

#4  If you want a civil war, this is how you go about getting a civil war.

It must have become painfully obvious by the Spring of 1865 that some people would never really be comfortable with a Lincoln presidency.

#2  The same Tom Steyer who uses his money to kill the domestic coal industry so he can profit from investments in coal in Southeast Asia?

No hypocrisy there. Nosiree.

Mr. Steyer should have bought CAT a year ago at $87. It closed yesterday at $128. And to think, he manages hedge funds.
