You may not actually know U.S. Misrepresentative Barbara Lee (D-CA) but it would be a great idea to keep a very close eye and ear on this firebrand in the Party of the Jackass. Normally, I don’t pay much attention to members of the House, but that’s going to change. I feel like I will have to take a close scrutinizing look at every single member of the 400+ body from here on out because, as Lee proves, the Leftists have not ended their perpetual march toward the cliff’s edge.
Lee serves the 13th District of California (East Bay (Oakland) from 1998-2013 as the then-9th District). She was the first woman to represent both the 9th and 13th Districts and was the Chair of the Congressional Black Caucus and the Co-Chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus. She is the only member of Congress of either chamber to vote against the use of force following the September 11, 2001 attacks. She is the darling of the anti-war movement and has been advocating for the creation of a Department of Peace.
It appears that, like Barack Hussein Obama, she has an immense chip on her shoulder regarding both race and the country itself. In 1972, she was president of the Mills College Black Student Union and she was a volunteer at the Oakland chapter of the Black Panther Party’s Community Learning Center and worked on Panther co-founder Bobby Seale’s 1973 Oakland mayoral campaign.
She is one of the staunchest defenders of abortion-on-demand, no matter the circumstance and is a fierce opponent of the Stupak-Pitts Amendment which sought to restrict abortion coverage under the guise of the Unaffordable Health Care Bill (ObamaCare).
By far, however, was the crowning achievement of being the only Democrat to vote against the use of force following 9/11 and this led to a ferocious opposition to the Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Terrorists (AUMF). Since 2001, Lee has been bent on doing away with this law that was initially approved to provide the executive branch the legal authority to take military action against the al-Qaeda terrorist network in response to the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Granted, all throughout this period, she barely batted an eyelash at the thousands of Barack Obama-initiated military operations that took place during his tenure.
Now, she has finally made some headway in the House by introducing a resolution to do away with the AUMF, thereby limiting the president’s options if and when another terrorist attack takes place.

This country is definitely on the verge of a war these in which these morons have never seen the like
She is a younger black idiot!
We the people voted for President Trump. You have NO right to remove him and I for one am getting sick of you brainless whimpering babies.
Time to set this black racist b**** down
After eight years of incompetence it’s great to see the efforts are paying off.The mind is a terrible thing to lay waste too.The Democrats are in meltdown.Obviously the head of the snake is hiding in plain sight.This treasonous fraud has no integrity. The great divider was instrumental in setting back race relations 50 years.The philosophy of division through diversity is a staple of the progressive socialist (Democrat ) party. Why unite us Americans when you can create dozens of self identified special interests.Now it had progressed into an dangerous realm.The current social warriors are attempting to intimidate American citizens. They are little more than fascist ideologues.Ending the free exchange of ideas and intolerance as demonstrated by the recent riots against opposing viewpoints is tantamount to Anarchy.The race based division is a legacy of the former presidents divisive rhetoric and ideology. The end result is yet to come the left has lost control of there own minions.The great dividers plan to create a socialist Globalist state is still underway.What freedoms will we loose if this isn’t ended.
HERE IS A LIST OF EVERY SINGLE TIME OBAMA COMMITTED AN IMPEACHABLE OFFENSE THAT DEMS & MEDIA COVERED UP
“Impeach!” It’s been more than eight years since Democrats uttered that word – long enough for anyone to wonder if it was still in their vocabulary, considering the deafening silence through the dozens of serious scandals during President Obama’s administration – but now that President Trump is the man in the White House, it’s back with a vengeance.
Democrats everywhere are wildly slinging the “I” word, hoping to nail Trump for high crimes and misdemeanors after the New York Times claimed a memo written by former FBI Director James Comey said the president urged him to end the federal investigation into former national security adviser Michael Flynn.
Some members of Congress are getting in on the action. They include Reps. Maxine Water, D-Calif., and Al Green, D-Texas. Even a Republican, Rep. Justin Amash, claimed Wednesday there are grounds to impeach President Trump. House Oversign Committee Chair Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, asked for the alleged Comey memo and other documents. Chaffetz tweeted that he is prepared to subpoena the information. And Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., invoked “Watergate.”
Now the Democratic Party is reportedly poll testing impeachment as a 2018 election issue. More than 1 million people signed a petition calling on Congress to impeach Trump.
Wasting no time Wednesday, the mainstream media sprang into action, enthusiastically echoing the left’s impeachment calls. MSNBC launched a Watergate ad implying Trump is America’s new Richard Nixon.
“Watergate. We know its name because there were reporters who never stopped asking questions,” says MSNBC host Chris Hayes, who hinted that Trump is next on the impeachment chopping block. “Now, who knows where the questions will take us. But I know this: I’m not going to stop asking them.”
Meanwhile, some overzealous members of the left plastered fliers around Washington, D.C., demanding all White House staffers resign Wednesday.
The posters read: “If you work for this White House you are complicit in hate-mongering, lies, corrupt taking of Americans’ tax money via self-dealing and emoluments, and quite possibly federal crimes and treason. Also, any wars will be on your soul. … Resign now.”
But constitutional scholar Jonathan Turley, who voted for President Obama, warned “impeachment” enthusiasts not to get ahead of themselves with President Trump. Why?
At this time, there’s no evidence Trump actually committed a crime.
“The criminal code demands more than what Comey reportedly describes in his memo,” Turley wrote in a May 17 opinion piece posted at the Hill. Turley explained:
For the first time, the Comey memo pushes the litany of controversies surrounding Trump into the scope of the United States criminal code.
However, if this is food for obstruction of justice, it is still an awfully thin soup. Some commentators seem to be alleging criminal conduct in office or calling for impeachment before Trump completed the words of his inaugural oath of office. Not surprising, within minutes of the New York Times report, the response was a chorus of breathless “gotcha” announcements. But this memo is neither the Pentagon Papers nor the Watergate tapes. Indeed, it raises as many questions for Comey as it does Trump in terms of the alleged underlying conduct.
A good place to start would be with the federal law, specifically 18 U.S.C. 1503. The criminal code demands more than what Comey reportedly describes in his memo. There are dozens of different variations of obstruction charges ranging from threatening witnesses to influencing jurors. None would fit this case. That leaves the omnibus provision on attempts to interfere with the “due administration of justice.”
However, that still leaves the need to show that the effort was to influence “corruptly” when Trump could say that he did little but express concern for a longtime associate. The term “corruptly” is actually defined differently under the various obstruction provisions, but it often involves a showing that someone acted “with the intent to secure an unlawful benefit for oneself or another.” Encouraging leniency or advocating for an associate is improper but not necessarily seeking an unlawful benefit for him.

Debbie and Brenda-
I have begun to actively write to and call my State Representatives on all issues because I have found that when the phones are ringing and the mail is coming in the are on alert.
They realize that we aren’t sleeping.
I keep an email outline that can be edited accordingly to address my position.
Post to their Facebook pages as well.
If I can do nothing else, I am going to relentlessly defend the President I voted for (with no influence from the Russians) against the shameless and slanderous vitriol from the left and the utter lack of support against such from McConnell, Ryan (both wolves in sheep’s clothing) and the denizens of the swamp.
These entrenched politician have slowly and steadily enriched themselves by pandering to lobbyists and usurping the taxpayer’s money.
Until Donald Trump descended that escalator to announce his run for President, he’d never ever been accused of any of the hateful deeds that he’s been bombarded with since that day.
Hollywood, Washington and the self important leftist media are all in bed together and we the people need to push back where it counts.
Feel free to copy, paste and share any of my comments and start barraging this traitorous government with your voices.

I’m sorry you asshat but you don’t get to curb the power of the president of the United States because you really, really, really don’t like him… These fools think they can make special laws just for Trump… And what a dangerous thing this would be… Curtail the options the man has to keep us safe… I don’t think so..
