Visitors to Steyer’s new website see a compilation of news articles about  Trump ’s decisions  and a long open letter from Steyer  with a litany of reasons for politicians to remove  Trump  from office. Finally  there is an offer to sign up with the campaign.
“ He  is repealing clean air protections and unleashing polluters  even as increasingly catastrophic natural disasters supercharged by our warming planet ravaged the country throughout the summer ” Steyer writes. “ He  has threatened to reduce aid for millions of American citizens in Puerto Rico who are struggling to survive without drinkable water or electricity — a move that would be a total dereliction of  his  duty. And every day  Americans are left bracing for a Twitter screed that could set off a nuclear war.”
In the House  Reps. Al Green (D-Tex.) and Brad Sherman (D-Calif.)  two backbenchers from safe seats  have introduced articles of impeachment with no real hope of being adopted. House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi  who once fended off liberal demands that her party impeach President George W. Bush  said this summer that Trump might well “self-impeach” as he tumbled from controversy to controversy.
But so far  talk about impeachment — or about invoking the 25th Amendment of the Constitution  which would allow the president’s Cabinet to remove him from office — has not been embraced by the Democratic Party’s leaders. Removing  Trump  after an impeachment in the House would take the votes of 67 senators  leading many Democrats to consider the issue a distraction.
Last Sunday  the publisher of Hustler magazine  Larry Flynt  put a full-page ad in The Washington Post offering $10 million for information leading to  Trump ’s “impeachment and removal from office.” In the wanted post-style ad  Flynt listed a range of accusations against  Trump  including “massive conflicts-of-interest” and “gross nepotism and appointment of unqualified persons to high office.”
