Trump "Locked and Loaded" -- This EMERGENCY is Now the Responsibility of the Republicans in Congress [View all]

Trump tweeted the following further war provocation directed at North Korea this morning: "Military solutions are now fully in place, locked and loaded, should North Korea act unwisely. Hopefully Kim Jong-un will find another path!"

How much more do the Republicans in the House of Representatives need to start living up to their oaths of office. Trump's behavior is now well beyond proven to be an existential threat to the United States of America. By deliberately putting the constitutional democracy of this country at extreme risk through his ever escalating and reckless statements to North Korea, Trump has without a doubt violated his oath of office and committed "high crimes and misdemeanors". In light of the imminent danger into which Trump's actions over the last few days have placed both this country and the World, the House should vote immediately -- TODAY -- to impeach the president. No excuses, no delays! We no longer can afford the luxury of waiting for the completion of the Robert Mueller's criminal investigation.

Speaker Ryan should bring the House into session as soon as physically possible and once the necessary quorum is present he should cause an impeachment resolution to be voted on. Republican members must vote in sufficient numbers to pass that resolution. The Senate should commence the trial to consider removal immediately thereafter. This is a crisis -- and any failure to undertake these actions NOW -- before the whole world is blown up -- is totally on the Republicans in Congress.
