The War Drums Are Beating - Impeach Trump

The War Drums Are Beating - Impeach Trump


There is a new call for President Trump to be removed by activating 25th Amendment by the Vice President Pence and Cabinet or through Impeachment.

CNN's reporter Clare Foran just published an article titled,  Calls grow in Congress for Trump to be removed by impeachment or the 25th amendment.

In part she writes,

Quote
A growing number of lawmakers -- including from Democratic leadership -- are calling for President Donald Trump to be removed from office either through impeachment or the 25th Amendment to the Constitution after a violent mob of Trump supporters stormed the US Capitol on Wednesday.

The calls have come largely from Democrats so far, but at least one congressional Republican has joined in. GOP Rep. Adam Kinzinger of Illinois, a frequent critic of the President, has called for the 25th Amendment to be invoked, saying in a video message on Thursday, "the President must now relinquish control of the executive branch voluntarily or involuntarily."

The top Democrat in the Senate has also embraced the 25th Amendment push.

Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer put out a statement Thursday denouncing the "insurrection" at the Capitol "incited by the President," and saying, "This president should not hold office one day longer."

"The quickest and most effective way -- it can be done today -- to remove this president from office would be for the Vice President to immediately invoke the 25th amendment. If the Vice President and the Cabinet refuse to stand up, Congress should reconvene to impeach the president," he said in the statement.

Invoking the 25th Amendment would require Vice President Mike Pence and a majority of the Cabinet to vote to remove Trump from office due to his inability to "discharge the powers and duties of his office" -- an unprecedented step.

Other rank-and-file Democrats have urged impeachment in the wake of the mob violence at the Capitol that took place as a joint session of Congress met to count the Electoral Votes affirming President-elect Joe Biden's win amid false claims from Trump that the election was rigged against him.

Four members of the progressive "squad" of Democratic lawmakers -- Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib and Ayanna Pressley -- all spoke out in support of impeachment in the wake of the violent siege of the Capitol.

"I am drawing up Articles of Impeachment. Donald J. Trump should be impeached by the House of Representatives & removed from office by the United States Senate. We can't allow him to remain in office, it's a matter of preserving our Republic and we need to fulfill our oath," Omar tweeted Wednesday.

"This is on Donald Trump, period. He called folks to D.C. and gave them marching orders. He needs to be impeached and removed immediately," Tlaib tweeted Wednesday.

With Biden's inauguration date fast approaching on January 20, it is highly unlikely that there would be adequate time or political will in Congress for any kind of impeachment effort.

Any 25th Amendment push is also unlikely to come to fruition with little time left before Biden's inauguration. The calls in Congress, however, underscore the extent to which lawmakers are reeling and furious with the President in the wake of the devastation at the Capitol on Wednesday.

The Democratic-led House of Representatives impeached Trump already in 2019. In order to remove a President from office through impeachment, the Senate must vote to convict after an impeachment trial. That did not happen in the GOP-controlled Senate where Trump was ultimately acquitted.

After the pro-Trump mob was cleared from the Capitol, lawmakers reconvened late in the evening to continue the Electoral vote count. Congress completed the count and finalized Biden's win in the early hours of Thursday morning.


Our elected officials sure fear Trump, or do they? I put forth that they fear you, the 74-million folks that voted for him. They wish to punish you because again, they fear you. 

I reported yesterday that Chris Wallace and Brett Bair from Fox News, on air blamed Trump for the riot at the U.S. Capital Building.

Interesting though, no building's were burned. Nobody looted the U.S. Capital Building and ran off with Nike shoes or Coach purses. Nobody shot fireworks at police, threw urine filled bottles at them, nor did they throw rocks - Interesting. I suspect that the protesters for Trump need to do an AAR and change tactics to mimic professional rioters over at BurnLootMurder Inc. and Antifa. 

The impeachment war drums are beating again.

   Don't interrupt your enemy if they're in the middle of doing something stupid.  If the Democrats do indeed impeach Trump, I think they'll find the civil war will become very hot.  Not too smart to keep poking your finger in the side of a wild beast.  That'll surely push Trump's supporters over the edge.

It is funny that during the beginning of the drama I thought that some of the folks breaking breaching the U.S. Capital Building sure looked like Antifa or BurnLootMurder Inc types. Well, throughout the day, I have been hearing and reading accounts from Trump rally marchers that in fact there were many wearing Antifa and BurnLootMurder clothes (all black), web gear, helmets, backpacks, etc. Some witnesses even saw these suspected folks throwing flares and communicating on BaoFeng type radios.

Using the Trump rally, as a 'black flag' operation. Mmmmmmm?

Keep your eyes peeled for other accounts.

 They want to impeach him so he can't run for president again.
 I don't understand why President Trump didn't invoke the insurrection act the moment Pence stabbed him in the back or why he isn't doing it now.
In principle, no less than in practice, socialism is the ideology of thieves and tyrants.

Jojo, the directors of the Executive Branch agencies, slow walked the Insurrection Act and EO 13848.

This man who has accomplished so much in four-years is going to be persecuted till he dies. Along with Trump, all Trump supporters will be persecuted too. Wait for it.............

He may not know about the act?

BTW, they dont want to impeach Trump, they want to send a message to anyone you may consider following in his footsteps. Why do you think just about every person in congress, repub or dem, has come out and said Trump did everything wrong and should have conceded the election instead of fighting for whats right.

We no longer have a govt, they have us...

      It's getting worse than we can imagine.  From my perspective, a Civil War is inevitable.   A political editor for ABC news is calling for a cleansing of Trump supporters: https://pjmedia.com/news-and-politics/victoria-taft/2021/01/08/abc-news-executive-calls-for-cleansing-trump-from-america-n1323748   Hmmmm.... cleansing sounds familiar, seems to me that we heard that during one of the world wars, along with concept of appeasement. 

A flight attendant union president called for the banning of Trump supporters from flights: https://headlineusa.com/flight-attendant-union-wants-airlines-to-ban-trump-supporters-for-mob-mentality-behavior/    I guess all Trump supporters are part of a mob, never mind that Antifa mobs have wreaked havoc throughout the country.  It's funny that I didn't see similar actions after BLM and Antifa rioted over the entire summer.  If we're going to be persecuted, we may as well give them a good reason to persecute.  Resistance and rebellion are in the DNA of this great country, unfortunately, they're going to be needed again.
