President Donald Trump is calling for the resignation of one of his fiercest critics in U.S. Congress: Representative Adam Schiff (D-CA).

After an earlier tweet that seemed to indicate a more transcendent Commander in Chief, in which he revealed that he has “learned to live” with what he considers a “crazy” Fake News media (and promised to share his secret!) President Trump has returned to a more vengeful demeanor in calling for the resignation of Rep. Schiff. Trump tweeted:

Rep. Schiff is the current chair of the House Intel committee and a dogged critic of President Trump. He has also refused to accept Attorney General William Barr’s four-page letter that summarized the highly anticipated Mueller Report in a manner that was most favorable to Mr. Trump.

During an interview with The Washington Post that was published Wednesday, Schiff doubled down on his claim of collusion saying “Undoubtedly, there is collusion,” he told the paper. “We will continue to investigate the counterintelligence issues.”

1. The Dictator speaks

Tell him FU

[bearsfootball516]

2. Lol good luck with that.

[forgotmylogin]

58. But he was "duly elected"

And some might say "our favorite Congressperson".

[Stuart G]

3. Horrific thing to say of a critic. (Thank You for posting this)

Very sad and stupid statement. A critic of the President of the United States, because of his actions, is told by the President of the United States that Congress should force his resignation. This is almost an impeachable statement.

[ancianita]

4. ...

[Tech]

5. Once the American people have the report in full

We will talk about who should be forced to resign

[Stuart G]

9. I agree with you completely. Trump's turn will come soon.

[Eyeball_Kid]

23. SDNY is the bigger threat to Trumpy. It's about RICO and money laundering.

Once the indictments are made public, Trumpy will be a nonstop rage machine. I'm looking forward to Trumpy being Trumpy.

[certainot]

49. problem is in the meantime we let limbaugh and a few hundred other ignorant lying radio

assholes attack schiff on a regular basis. all this built onto 2 full years of calling it part of a coup by obama clinton soros and the 'deep state'. we ignore 1500 radio stations doing that and expect good results - it won't happen. the prefix for any response to jordan and trump and meadows and republicans when they lie about this stuff should be "well. that's what limbaugh said, but...." - they are dittoheads, teabaggers

they need the left to continue to ignore the dipshit liars hiding behind call screeners - enabling this obstruction. it's the only real advantage trump and the republicans have and we even let 88 major universities support 260 limbaugh stations.

democrats need offense if we don't want the republicans to intimidate enough blue dogs in talk radio states to enable the kind of compromises based on talk radio-generated "court of public opinion' and 'what the people want' bullshit that will shoot this country further down the road to authoritarianism

[SWBTATTReg]

65. 'we let' ? 'we ignore', 'we even let 88 U support 260 L stations'? Nice sound bites and we all ...

know these facts on DU, I am just wondering how/what are you proposing to 'stop' or 'end' all of this? Step on the first amendment rights of students in those Universities for example in shutting down the 260 L stations? As young as AOC is, I don't think we (democratic party) don't really have an issue with the universities/youth of this country, since AOC still won as a democratic candidate and since rump still complained about 'free speech' still being stifled (according to him) on the universities and issued an 'executive order' to that effect.

So something is kind of at a disconnect between rump still complaining about free speech at universities and all of the rush l. radio stations.

I think in reality, bombastic radio and TV have lost their effectiveness (obviously). The so called president constantly lies and is toxic. People know this. So what if there are xxx numbers of broadcast stations radiating pro rump propaganda? These broadcast stations probably losing money for the owners. The internet is stripping away the value of a lot of these assets and I hope that the current owners are suffering (they should, competition). All of these broadcasting stations don't mean a hoot when no one listens (or at least, the vast majority of Americans that do not support rump do not).

I thought we were doing pretty good despite all of this vast array of supposed radio and/or TV pro-rump stations when we won control of the House of Rep. in the Nov. 2018 elections.

[certainot]

68. your sister's a whore, your brother's a thief and your ideas are treasonous - is still the mantra

aimed t liberals and democrats from 1500 corporate think tank-coordinated radio stations (and probably kremlin too).

winning the house is a minimum and who knows by what spread we actually had to win to get by the voter suppression and cheating?

how does ignoring that make any sense? if trump/putin would pay $1000/hr for radio infomercials 1200 radio stations x 15 hrs/day are worth $5BIL/year FREE for them. you can't have real democracy letting 40 states with 80 senators get blasted all day with their shit. fox is just the cartoon cliff notes for talk radio, which dominates rural states with coordinated unchallenged locally coordinated messaging - there are no free easy alts for politics while driving, working, doing chores - it's fox x 100

and dems just walk on by

limbaugh just called for boycotts of the "liberal media" - that's free speech.... universities helping deny global warming and defunding public ed is okay? all those schools need to be asked what they would do if the KKK bought the station. yeah the stations are losing billions but it's worth trillions in GW denial, war, tax breaks, deregulation, supremes, etc

people living in major cities often have no idea - here's a primer on RW radio - with some ides on how to destroy what is the only major advantage the cons have over democrats - republiconradio.org

ignoring that simple math continues to be the biggest political mistake in history and it's being used right now to attack dem investigators and to force republicans into getting obama and his admin under oath - it's bullshit and dems are going to keep bending over for limbaugh until the left goes on offense. and talk radio is by far the most vulnerable target - and likely the most devastating when democrats finally do it.

[SWBTATTReg]

69. And not once have you even proposed a solution...that's what I asked in my response to you...

Do you have any answers or solutions? Probably not, since this is the 2nd time at least you've thrown this up as a post (that I'm aware of), and that's fine, but you haven't listed a single viable solution, other than the doom and gloom you are throwing up here. As I said, all of this doom and gloom didn't seem to negatively impact the 2018 Nov. elections (it may have a little, but not enough obviously).

[certainot]

71. it's a 20-1 monopoly and all dems have to do is apply market forces

the 20-1 monopoly is not a representation of american market demand for fascism, hate and lies and the blowhards are not 'political entertainers' enjoying free speech rights - it's a coordinated propaganda operation

the least americans can do is monitor their local rw stations and the dem party and allied associations are negligent and stupid for not doing it. they don't even poll for talk radio - the only reason we have trump.

in the last year or so it got a lot faster easier and cheaper to transcribe talk radio - it needs to be digitized so it can finally be forced to become part of the free speech spectrum. now all the advertisers can easily be associated with the hate and lies and global warming denial - it would be stoprush x 10

the ad industry will start having to ask advertisers if they really want to support trump - or risk their clients anger when they become exposed

protesting the universities until they start looking for apolitical alternatives will speed up the flight of advertisers from rw radio. as soon as one or two unis start looking others will follow. the discussion alone will scare the crap out of the republicans and that will draw media and make it all worse. advertisers will flee.

it would be the easiest and most offensive activism prog orgs could do to make themselves more effective.

you'll find some of that at republicanradio.org

[Submariner]

6. Schiff should reply

So-called President Trump, who spent years as a yellow bellied draft dodging coward while his Mommy got him 5 deferments for fake bone spurs, should be forced to resign from the presidency!

[ehrnst]

7. TOTALLY the reaction of a man who is innocent of any crime...

[democratisphere]

8. FUN FACT: drumpf will be gone long before Adam Schiff retires.

[Botany]

10. Trump is just trying to capture the news cycle by saying stupid shit.

https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=11965253

Thanx to DUer Auggie

The game plan: Make a stupid statement. Media reports. Social media spreads. Suddenly ...

it's a "thing" -- a new "issue," "alternate fact," red herring, etc.

Over, and over, and over -- name any progressive plan or idea and The Right has bullshit spin for it.

******
Adam Schiff should be removed from office, wind power doesn't work, take away health care, or cut the funds for special
olympics Trump is sending out these crazy things in order to change the subject from Trump, Russia, and the Barr
cover up.

[Ponietz]

14. Yes, and I, for one, am not 'moving on' until I see the report

It’s now or never, in my opinion.

[dustyscamp]

16. Yeah we need to start ignoring him and stop taking the bait

[LuckyLib]

36. Flinging stuff at the walls for distraction.

He’s a master at it.

[Auggie]

40. Thank you Botany. We can trace this M.O. as far back as Reagan (and probably even much further) ...

[Botany]

42. You mean like when Reagan got 300 + marines killed in Beirut, Lebanon, puled our troops out, ....

.... and then invaded Grenada in order to change the subject?

[Auggie]

57. Yep. But even more basic: "Big government is bad"

That was part of the stump speech in 1980.

So much Right Wing bullshit since then ...

"Trickle down economics"
"Death panels"
The Iraqi connection to Al Queda
Obama's birth certificate
Benghazi
Hillary's emails
etc ...

[Botany]

60. And never forget that Reagan kicked off his 1980 campaign in Neshoba County, Mississippi* ...

.... talking about "State's Rights."


* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murders_of_Chaney,_Goodman,_and_Schwerner

[Auggie]

66. Yeah. The Deep State Right has been fucking the USA for decades.

[Cold War Spook]

70. There was a good reason for attacking Grenada,

but it did not have to be with boots on the ground. A nighttime bombing raid on the runways would have told the Soviets that the US knew what they were doing. There would not have been any reason for the Russian officers and Cuban workers to remain there.

[tymorial]

55. Exactly. I literally just posted this.

He is playing at misdirection.

[rzemanfl]

11. Fuck you Drumpf, you Nazi. n/t

[enough]

12. Projecting again. NT

[EricMaundry]

13. The Barr Coverup is unraveling

All Trump can do now is rant and rave.

[Perseus]

15. Adam Schiff should run for president

Then put the buffoon in jail.

[Hestia]

21. I think he would make an outstanding AG - the next admin will need someone to wrest

control back from the Liberty U minions. He's tough enough to do it.

[LuvNewcastle]

72. I think he'd make a great Speaker after Nancy retires.

He would give the GOP ulcers.

[C_U_L8R]

17. Ridiculous

Trump needs to release his taxes, the Mueller report and testify under oath. This overcompensating aggression is pure nonsense. He’s hiding everything.

[Arkansas Granny]

18. If you look at his twitter feed for this morning, it reads like the ravings of a lunatic!

[DirtEdonE]

20. Imagine that!

A raving lunatic with a raving lunatic twitter feed!

[NewJeffCT]

37. is that different than any other morning on his feed?

[DirtEdonE]

19. Someone needs to explain to the orange jackass

That in a democracy forced resignations are known as elections.

Or better yet, wait until 2020 and let the fucking traitor learn the hard way.

[machoneman]

22. Dolt doesn't understand that even if this occurred, another loyal DEMOCRAT would take his place!

Dotard is right!

25. A fart in a hurricane

[TEB]

26. Magat is scared of Adam Schiff

[Delmette2.0]

44. +1,000

Dipshit 45 has to vent on his greatest fear.

[Thekaspervote]

27. And you.. you lying, leaking orange fart... you resign. .. we DEMAND it!!

[mnhtnbb]

48. I'd love to see the grass roots organize a huge demand for 45 to resign.

Why aren't we all calling and e-mailing the White House insisting that 45 resign?

Fu*k that lying, traitorous, orange sack of $hit.

And fu*k taking the high road.

[seta1950]

28. No

trump is the one who should resign, we have had it with his hate and meanness.

[Wounded Bear]

29. Projecting again...or should I say still...

Could it be that the hidden PTB "Deep Party" Republican bosses are leveraging Trump to quit before he totally destroys the Repub party's future?

[grannyokie]

39. Projecting

You got that right. That's what he does because he has a pea brain and can only see himself. It's also the standard for a lot of Republicans. I said in an earlier post "looks like they got a Tiger by the tail" They thought that weak brain of his and lack of any solid positions on anything he would be easily manipulated and controlled to do their bidding. It has worked in some regards. This might be just wishful thinking on my part, but it will soon backfire as we are witnessing before our eyes. 2018 they got an ass whopping the Republicans. They have cleansed the party of moderates. Kiss the ring or be gone. I hope he does destroy the Republican party.

I also wish and it is only a wish. The press would stop following him around on the White House lawn like dogs after a dog in heat, for some mock press briefing while the the helicopter muffles questions being asked. He avoids the regular Press briefings that normal Presidents had before he smashed a lot of norms. Don't cover his damn sickening rallies. Send an intern. Film it record it and send to the News outlets what's relevant. This is only a wish.

[MontanaMama]

30. Traitor say what?

[ProudMNDemocrat]

31. Look for more Tweets calling "Little Schitt" just that.

Trump IS afraid of Adam Schiff. Of course he is not going to resign from the Committee he chairs or from Congress.

All this makes Adam Schiff more popular in his District and in the country.

[sinkingfeeling]

32. By whom? We have elections in this country.

[MissMillie]

33. Mr. Trump, it's called

"Separation of Powers"

You are not Rep. Schiff's boss.

[Freethinker65]

34. Schiff did not lie. There are tapes of Trump obstructing the investigation.

The question becomes, was the President using his constitutionally given powers to do the obstructing, or did the President overstep the powers granted to him?

Does the President always have the power to demand resignations and replace people, or are there limits? Can the President discuss with his staff certain events as he supposedly recalls them and demand to be updated on all governmental investigations, or are there limits? The report surely indicates multiple times where Trump may have overstepped his powers merely to protect and/or enrich himself...Mueller wanted congress to decide.

The entire report needs to be available to the entire Congress. Even if it is determined Trump was within his Presidential powers to effectively meddle in and try to, or succeed, obstructing the investigation, Congress should debate the merits of redefining those Presidential Powers. Do they truly want this type of behavior from another President??

I also find it curious that Trump tweeted Schiff "unlawfully lied". Does Trump believe the Presidency gives him the power to "legally lie" to the American people? It certainly appears that way.

[irisblue]

35. Implying a Giffords style forced resignation?

Gotta make the Capitol police & SS so happy when Tang1 is the source of the threat

[watoos]

38. That's an impeachable offense, abuse of power.

[Johonny]

41. Schiff leaks like a Russian whore, oh wait. That never happened I swear.

[watoos]

43. Actually we could use a Daniel Ellsberg leak.

[malachi]

45. Yes! Time to Schiff or get off the pot. The

entire report and anything else that Democrats know should be leaked. Nothing could be more patriotic.

[Autumn]

46. Adam Schiff for President. Now.

[MyOwnPeace]

47. This is beyond insane............

IQ45 thinks someone should resign for lying?

OK!

You first!!!

[Timmygoat]

50. This is just more proof

That Adam Schiff is hitting Trump hard and that he has Trump worried.
I say 'Adam Schiff for president'

[DallasNE]

51. Trump, who For Years Claimed Obama

Was not an American citizen can again make an unsubstantiated claim that Schiff is lying and conclude he must resign. What a load of crap.

[Funtatlaguy]

52. Forced. Just think about him using that word.

That’s next level.
I’m sure Susan Collins will be just the correct level of concerned.

[LuvNewcastle]

74. Yep, I think he's calling for a 2nd Amendment solution.

That's what his little followers will do for him.

[JAD]

53. Schiff should call former repub Evan McMullin to testify

I am fairly certain he was the one that recorded McCarthy saying Putin pays trump. Tell him to bring all his recordings.

[tymorial]

54. He is attempting to bait the media.

His first tweet was an attempt to draw the media in by claiming he is no longer going to be outraged by fake news. He follows that up with a tyrannical rant in the hopes that the media will latch on and make this their headline story thereby drawing attention away from Mueller. What Trump fails to recognize is that this only makes everyone more suspicious.

[gldstwmn]

56. Show us the report. n/t

[Sneederbunk]

61. Leak it. Leak it now.

[gldstwmn]

63. It's going to happen one way or another.

I'm willing to bet the leaks will be fast and furious once Barr digs and and refuses to release it in it's entirety. He's going to try. He got his merger and now it's time to pay the president back.

[Tarc]

59. Ickle Diddy Trumpkins ca go fuck himself

Why his comments are given even a split second of airtime on this topic is ludicrous.

[marieo1]

62. DJT should resign NOW!!

Who does DJT think he is? Why have republicans given him so much power. If anyone should resign, it should be DJT!! This whole country would be a lot better off without most of the republicans!!
