If Congressman Jamie Raskin hadn’t already established himself as a freshman to watch, he definitely did when word got out about one bill that he thinks he will introduce very soon—articles of impeachment against soon-to-be President Trump.

Last weekend, Raskin spoke at an Obamacare rally at Bowie State University. However, he drew the biggest cheers when he said that he may be voting to impeach the Donald very soon. Watch here, via The Young Turks.

Raskin says that he already has grounds for impeachment—the fact that Trump hasn’t even begun to unwind “tens or hundreds of millions of dollars” worth of foreign business interests. He has come to the same conclusion as a number of ethics experts and constitutional law experts from both parties—it would be a flagrant violation of the Emoluments Clause, which bars federal officials from taking gifts from foreign governments.

...and now Trump uses the Constitution like toilet paper, but that's dandy with the Right.

There, johnny, I finished your pithy thought for you.

I wouldn't want anyone to think you were just another partisan hypocrite.

You're welcome.

Well, Trump walked down a street, went to a few inaugural balls, attended church, and this afternoon will visit Langley.

How do any of these contravene the Constitution.

Thank you in advance for the ineffable wisdom of your counsel.

Impeach Trump because of his finances??
Then good luck to the Left in finding a poor man to run for President..! :lol: :lol: :lol:

They found Obama, sillydaddy. He was only worth a few hundred thousand.

What makes you think they couldn't find another "poor man"?

It's the Republicans who are absolutely incapable of finding a poor man who holds their beliefs.

Just as Gram Parsons found Emmy Lou Harris to sing with, so the Left Wing will find another race-baiting socialist to serve as standard-bearer.

Cory Booker served as a witness instead of asking questions because Cory aspired to become the next race-baiter for the Dems.

But, because Cory is an educated fellow who might actually rescue somebody from a burning building, he may not be quite sleazy enough for the Dems despite his socialism.

Yep and after just 8 years in public office he's worth over $200 million.

"Yep and after just 8 years in public office he's worth over $200 million."-RealStool

More made up stupid shit from the Tool. :lol:
Not even close.

But yes, Obama is now worth a lot of money. He made $12 million dollars as President.
Now just imagine how much Trump will be worth at the end of his term. It won't be a measly $12 million.
He fully expects to be worth five to ten billion dollars more at the end of his term (as will all the people working for him.)
Five (or six?) guys from Goldman Sacks in his cabinet and staff. They're probably going to make a trillion dollars for their company over four years.

But RealTool will say that is just fine. He will go insane over $12 million and applaud the $500 BILLION or more his guys (including Trump) will make in this scam.

Well, I looked into it a bit more, and Obama had already made about $4 million from his books before taking office, he made $3.2 million in salary as President, plus his expense and travel funds that come with the office.
And now he is worth about $12 million.

So Obama only made about $4 million as President beyond his earnings from the job and his previous net worth.

Does anyone think Trump is only going to make a few million off the job?

I don't recall what year I first looked at Obama's disclosure, but at that time he was worth a bit less than 1 million.

Now it is true that a president gets a free casa, free food, no electric bill, no gasoline bill, a free car, a free plane, so he can save the salary and expenses.

But Barry's vanity paid -- he wrote, or had ghostwritten for him, two books about the many wonders of himself.

$20 million advance for a book yet to be written by Michelle "about herself" and libtards claim the ones who paid the $20 Million did it as an "investment" rather than for favors rendered by the President :lol: :lol: :lol:

AssClown, Trump isn't going to accept a salary for being president. Being a Google master you should have known that.
By Clownkicker
#82708
Yes, Loser Boy AssClown Insipid, I knew that already.
Now you must realize that Trump isn't taking the salary because he doesn't bother with chump change.

AssClown Insipid makes my point for me. Trump is going for billions, not a paltry 1.6 million. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Thanks for clumsily and inadvertently (again) supporting my point, moron.
I can always rely on you to stick your foot in your mouth. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Wealth envy from an avowed Marxist Tool is quite a contradiction. But then again we never expect consistency from you libtards.

And that was a nice try attempting to salvage your stupid assertion about Trump's expected income.
But, as always, nobody bought your blather.

Loser Boy Assclown Insipid is too stupid to understand that I didn't try to "salvage" anything I said about Trump.

I stand by every word I posted on this thread about him.

But we must cut "Looser" Boy Insipid some slack. His reading comprehension has always been abysmal.
But it does make him dance on command. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:


And as long as reading comprehension has been mentioned, please look up the word "avowed" dumbfuck.
And look up "wealth envy" while you're at it. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

When you make up stupid shit, it doesn't magically become something I ever said, you ignorant assclown. :lol: :lol: :lol:
