What can you even say at this point about Texas Democrat Rep. Al Green when it comes to President Donald Trump that hasn’t already been said? Green (TX-09), still battling a terminal case of Trump Derangement Syndrome, announced Thursday that he plans — yet again — to introduce articles of impeachment against the president before Congress leaves for its Christmas break.
Because when it comes to obsessive, performative anti-Trump theatrics, Green never disappoints. Green has turned impeaching Trump into his full-time side hustle, spending years churning out impeachment articles that reliably go nowhere before getting quietly shelved.
Earlier this year, the perpetually unhinged Democrat even filed articles to impeach Trump as the 47th president — and the Republican-led House promptly tossed them aside. Now he’s back again, vowing to deliver yet another batch “before Christmas,” as if it’s some kind of deranged holiday tradition.
But here’s the reality, Al:
Even your fellow Democrats seem to have zero appetite for another round of your absurd Impeachment Theater. Yet you keep marching out there, embarrassing yourself on cue — and to be honest, watching you do it all over again might be the most entertaining part of the whole spectacle.
Here he is, once more at his most delusional:
There will be articles of impeachment filed before the Christmas break. This, I pledge. We have to participate. This is a participatory democracy. The impeachment requires the hands and the guidance of all of us.
Excuse me? What “hands and… guidance,” and from whom, exactly?
From the Trump-hating Democrats who haven’t produced a single meaningful policy in years and instead spend every waking hour foaming at the mouth about the imaginary horrors of Donald Trump? Spare me:
Green also said he and other advocates would hold a peaceful protest at the Lincoln Memorial on Saturday.
The announcement of Green’s impeachment effort — his fifth set of filed articles — comes as the Democrat base in Congress has wrestled with how to effectively fight Trump.
Some in the more progressive wing of the party have spoken out against figures like Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., over Senate Democrats’ failing to secure concessions out of a 43-day government shutdown.
Even before the shutdown, other figures in the party, like Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner, had called for new party leadership in Congress to more effectively put up resistance to Republican momentum in Congress.
The first two paragraphs above are downright laughable, but the last two at least make sense if you’re viewing them through the rose-colored lens of the “participatory democracy” rhetoric Green loves to throw around.
But here’s the hard truth: if congressional Democrats actually focused on crafting serious, bipartisan policies instead of dedicating every ounce of their energy to destroying Donald Trump, maybe — maybe — some of the voters who crossed party lines in 2024 to back Trump and down-ballot Republicans would consider “coming home.”
Will Democrats do that? I’d never bet on it.
Also on Thursday, Dave Mytych — the outreach lead for For Liberation and Resistance Everywhere (FLARE), an organization that proudly bills itself as “the only continuously operating, 24/7 effort to dismantle the 47th President’s fascist regime” — took the mic alongside Green and blasted Democratic leadership by name. You know you’ve hit peak dysfunction when even the far-left activist class thinks congressional Democrats aren’t sufficiently extreme:
This is what the American people want. They want fighters that hold the line. Democrats, are you listening? Leader Schumer, are you listening? Leader Jeffries, are you listening?
Where exactly do these TDS-riddled zealots get their intel on “what the American people want”?
We heard the same delusional talking points nonstop before the 2024 election — and what did they accomplish? Besides helping cement a decisive victory for Trump and a strong showing for congressional Republicans, absolutely nothing.
And, in classic fashion, Green didn’t even bother to specify which impeachment counts he plans to file this time. Not that it matters — the substance has never mattered. The spectacle is the point.
