Stand back, everybody, *Geraldo Rivera* is throwin' down!!

[Leghorn21]

Fair Warning, as I did with Bill Clinton in 1997-8, I tonight announce that if you want to impeach this president on these facts you'll have to come through me.

1. I'm sure this threat from Geraldo Rivera, of Al Capone's Vault fame

(and the guy who got kicked out of Iraq for revealing troop movements) will be the one thing that will make all the House Democrats just give up and forget the whole thing.

2. Ok. Take your Geritol, asshole

[Thekaspervote]

3. Past his sell by date!!!

[emmaverybo]

4. On what facts, reality tee vee tease?

[PoliticAverse]

5. So since Clinton was impeached then Trump will be too ? n/t

[JohnnyRingo]

16. That struck me as well.

I don't recall Ken Starr or Newt Gingrich battling it out with Geraldo Rivera to impeach Clinton. Not at all.

What's his angle anyway? Trump's never going to nominate someone with such a Mexican sounding name to a cabinet position.

[TDale313]

6. ...

Yeah, that threat’s as empty as Al Capone’s vault.

[JimGinPA]

7. I'm Kinda Bummed...

I can only Rec this once. These replies made my day!

[Marie Marie]

8. He's kidding..right?

What's he going to do - throw a body block on Nancy Pelosi?

10. Lol!

11. It would be unfortunate if my nose were broken...

[BigmanPigman]

12. I think folding chairs are off limits in his presence

after that incident, or maybe he has learned to duck since then.

[smb]

32. Maybe GeeDubya Taught Him How To Duck nt

[BigmanPigman]

34. I was impressed by the Bush timing and reaction,

not just once but two in a row. Gerlado could never do that.

[NBachers]

13. "Through me???" That must make him a member or the Me Through movement. As in Me Finished.

[sprinkleeninow]

17. Or, upstanding member of the Me No Relevant one.

Sod off Geraldine.

[Scurrilous]

14. LOL

[rusty quoin]

15. A joke

[JohnnyRingo]

18. At least he calls the evidence "facts".

Not a hoax or a coup, but solid facts worthy of impeachment

[Grokenstein]

19. People have forgotten his TRUE career highlight

...interviewing Godzilla.

No, seriously, I think it was on ABC or NBC way back in the late '70s. Geraldo was in a studio news desk mockup, and a simple loop of Godzilla just standing around facing camera was running on the monitor behind the desk. Geraldo would ask a stupid question (they do exist) and they would cut to another loop of Godzilla grunting or roaring, as if in response. That's some award-winnin' journalism there, I tell you what. Wish I could find video of it.

20. They'll come through you like a chair thrown by a white trash skinhead.

[Blue Owl]

24. The mustache of trash

[eShirl]

21. "That threat is emptier than Al Capone's vault."

[Leghorn21]

22. by way of a kick:

[gratuitous]

23. General JC Christian!

Man, I hadn't thought about that guy in YEARS! I'm glad to see he's still workin' it.

[Takket]

25. Holy shit. Geraldo is still alive? And people still listen to him?

Who knew!!!

[dem4decades]

26. Breaking News. Gerardo Rivera - Still an Idiot.

[Downtown Hound]

27. Gladly. Where do I need to go?

Few things in life would bring me greater pleasure than to knock that clown on his ass.

[elfin]

28. Desperately gasping for relevance.

Does he even have any audience anymore?

[flotsam]

29. I have to go though you???

Fair enough-screw with me and I'll rip off that 70's porn 'stache and stick it up...you get the picture? Your upper lip will be as bare as Al Capone's vault!

30. Upon seeing this tweet, Rep. Nadler calls a meeting of the Democrats in the Judiciary Committee:

"Folks, I've got some bad news. We've been getting closer to starting an impeachment process. We've been winning in the courts; we'll get the witness testimony and the documents before long, and after Mueller's statement Nancy seemed to be changing her mind. But Geraldo Rivera has just tweeted this: "I tonight announce that if you want to impeach this president on these facts you'll have to come through me.""

The room goes silent, then there are scattered gasps and moans. "Oh, no!" someone said. "Not that!" someone else sighed.

"You all understand what this means, right?" Nadler continued. "It means impeachment is impossible. There's no way we can get through Geraldo. Impeachment is doomed. We might as well just forget the whole thing."

Without another word, they all shuffle despondently from the room. Someone is overheard to ask whether anyone wants to go out for pizza.

31. I once worked in the same office as a woman who knew

him before he was famous, back when his name was Jerry Rivers.

He has always been a phony.

[GoCubsGo]

33. Oooooh!!! Jerry Rivers is pissed!!!!
