Picture this: President Hillary Clinton is sitting in the Oval Office with top advisers and members of Congress, discussing a national infrastructure-building and job-training initiative. Somebody in the meeting observes that hard-hit red states like Mississippi, Alabama, West Virginia and Kentucky are in the direst need. President Clinton looks at that person and says, "Why should I invest a dime in sh*thole places like that?"
The Republicans would be stampeding toward impeachment in no time.
Of course, Hillary Clinton would never say anything like that. (The idea of Hillary as President, however — after she got three million more votes than her unspeakable lout of an opponent — isn't such a stretch.)
We mention all this because while Donald Trump deserves to be run out of town on a rail — for endless reasons — we realize that, unlike colluding with Russia to steal an election, using offensive language about other countries probably doesn't rise to the level of a high crime or misdemeanor. So why isn't censure on the table?
The Democrats need to introduce a motion to censure Trump and then try to force a vote. Or at least get Republican leaders on the record as blocking a vote. They need to do it today. We cats HISS.
UPDATE: Representatives Cedric Richmond (D-LA) and Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) announced today that they'll introduce a censure resolution in the House next week. We cats PURR.
