What are you guys going to wear to our Celebitchy Impeachment Party? I think I’ll wear my biggest cocktail rings, a velvet jacket and a scowl. Part of me can’t even believe that it’s really happening. I mean, it will probably move at a snail’s pace, but it’s actually a pleasant surprise. We might be doing this! Anyway, Hillary Clinton is on board too. Hillary has been somewhat choosey about where and when and how she speaks out against Trump since he stole the election. But Hillary has some thoughts today…
Hillary Clinton on Tuesday joined the rising chorus of Democrats calling for at least an impeachment investigation into President Donald Trump following reports that Trump pressured Ukraine’s government to look into unsubstantiated theories about the family of his leading 2020 challenger, former Vice President Joe Biden.
“We are in a crisis,” Clinton said. She told PEOPLE she was now supporting Trump’s impeachment. “I did not come to that decision easily or quickly, but this is an emergency as I see it. … This latest behavior around Ukraine, trying to enlist the president of Ukraine in a plot to undermine former Vice President Biden or lose the military aid he needs to defend against Trump’s friend Vladimir Putin — if that’s not an impeachable offense, I don’t know what is.”
Clinton was referring to additional reporting that Trump had stopped congressionally approved financial support for Ukraine, which is in a conflict with Russia, before he spoke with Ukraine’s president about Biden and Biden’s son Hunter. Trump has said the two were not related. He has denied wrongdoing, saying his call with Ukraine’s president was not improper, and he dismissed criticism that he used his power as president for blatant electioneering as a “witch hunt.” He instead accused Biden and Hunter of “corruption,” without further evidence.
Calling Trump a “a reckless, corrupt human tornado who cares only about himself,” Clinton told PEOPLE it is the constitutional duty of the House of Representatives to begin impeachment proceedings “not happily or with glee,” but in the interests of national security.
“The president of the United States is betraying our country on a daily basis,” she said, adding, “This man who is in the Oval Office right now is a clear and present danger to the future of the United States.” About Republicans, Clinton said, “They’ve got to put country before party and there is no substitute for a careful, thoughtful response.”
“We are in crisis” – yep. We’ve been in crisis since January 2017. Actually, we were in f–king crisis during the 2016 campaign too. “The president of the United States is betraying our country on a daily basis” – QUEEN. Thank you for saying it, Hillary. Thank you for saying all of it. It will be interesting to see if Barack Obama says anything, don’t you think? I bet Obama will not. I could be wrong.
Please wear caftans and sensible shoes to the Impeachment Party.

As we head into autumn, I will layer my impeachment party caftan with some shawls and I need to order some new Merrill Mocs, my cold weather comfortable shoe of choice. Lots of tea and a case of Pinot noir at the ready
Caftans and Converse! Love it. I’m on board
I mean she’s always known. People didn’t listen because of reasons. I shall wear sensible shoes, a warm scarf and my tiara to the impeachment party
I know it’s still a long shot but this is the first time in years that I’ve felt like the Trump Troll, his corrupt staffers, and his godawful family might actually pay for what they’ve done. I’m still not ready to get my hopes all the way up yet though.
My hopes aren’t too high for actually getting rid of him, but I am looking forward to the investigations on several fronts. I read that all the various House committees will be investigating.
I’m digging Housecoat Hillary. She no longer gives a fuck.
I’m wearing my “Nevertheless she persisted” tank, and drinking from my “male tears” tea cup!
Hillary done knew everything. All her predictions have come true. Frankly, I think the only thing keeping her sane: that she knows him and knows it’s gonna end badly for him.
I’m loving her outfit here. I will also happily be in a caftan and sneakers because I want to be the most comfortable ever when that rat bastard finally gets his due.
I love her, I have always loved her, and I don’t care who knows it.
So have I! Trump has been a clear and present danger for years.
I’d like to wear a “thoughts and prayers” t-shirt, and a jacket that says “We Really Do Care, so F— You” on the back.
And sneakers of course, because comfortable footwear is a must.
I am digging your styling choices Lucy.
*makes sure to give complement before stealing idea :)*
I am thrilled, relieved, sad and sickened that things have gotten to this point. Anyone else?
As we discuss comfortable footwear, is it wrong to point out that Nagini had bandaids on her feet at the UN?
I want Nagini gone, banished. To have Cheeto Mussolini hold up his daughter as some kind of role model for girls and women but then take a pot shot at Greta Thinberg…aaarrrggghhh! Bring on the impeachment so i can toast to this family being gone from our daily newsfeed! Lightpurple, she is in a public role so yes bandaids are fair game!
I wonder what it must feel like for her to watch him disrespect that office so much. Not just as the candidate who beat her despite a popular landslide in her favor but simply as someone who dedicated her life to law and politics. Just the insult of it, really.
Exactly, Veronica! Knowing how painful his presidency has been for me, a nobody, I can’t even imagine how personally demoralizing every day under this administration is for her. I can’t believe she hasn’t decamped for some island paradise at this point. I would have. She gets (and has always had) all my respect.
*shakes pantsuit free from moth balls*
I’m all set!
A HUGE magnum of champagne to pop, of course, coasters made of the Steele dossier and the Whistle Blower’s report for everyone, chocolate, of course… and a HUGE TV for all of us to watch the Orange Mold’s face as he hears the word from BOSS NANCY, (and later gets dragged out of the WH.). This is all I need!
Love her – still hurts she’s not president
Yes. I’m okay until I see a photo, and then I get tearful. Same with the Obamas.
Of course she is. She lost to Trump…she is bitter.
I wasn’t clear – It still hurts me she’s not president
Hey Hope, Ivanka, Melanie! Thanks for joining and putting in your 2 cents. Thoughts and prayers to you and the orange sloth.
I’m still with her. 😢😢😢
Had to come see her outfit after hearing it discussed on this week’s podcast. I love it! Good for her and we should all don caftans in support (and because they’re fabulous!).
