Democrats Speed Towards Impeaching Trump Again
11:28 am
“House Democrats are moving quickly toward impeaching President Donald Trump early next week, a reflection of the seething outrage that remains over his incitement of deadly riots inside the U.S. Capitol,” Politico reports.
“Timing remains in flux and Speaker Nancy Pelosi has yet to make a decision on exactly how to proceed, including whether to pursue a constitutional process that could remove Trump without impeachment. Top Democrats are still in talks with all their members and will hold a caucus-wide call at noon. But they are expected to decide today on their next steps, according to several lawmakers and aides.
Even if the House does impeach Trump, it’s far from clear the GOP-controlled Senate would act before his presidency runs out in 12 days.”
Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), quoted by the Associated Press:
“Every day that he remains in office, he is a danger to the Republic, and he should leave office immediately, through resignation, the 25th Amendment or impeachment.”

If it happens, Trump will have the honor of being the only President impeached twice.
Your first point:
You mean some Dem may have more power than Mitch McConnell?
Second point: Pence had better remember that H. W. Bush's pardon of Nixon doomed Bush's political career.
Who pardoned nixon?
As for a really amateur coup attempt, the blame should not be as much on the naive invaders of the Capitol Building as on Trump himself. HE was the "fake news" instigator of that absurdity.

Ford pardoned Nixon, pederast.
shut the fuck up.
You do realize, Reverend...
That eventually people will see this panty wadding and pearl clutching and total naked blatant hypocrisy for what it is?
Trying to "rush" to impeach a President who will no longer be actually in office by the time the process would be done? All he has to do is "object" and that is eight days.
Could it be more BLATANTLY POLITICAL and irrelevant?
If I was Joe Biden at this point, getting ready to be sworn in, I would be "pissed" that once again Donald Trump is living rent free in every liberal's head and quite literally sucking all of the air out of everyone and completely overshadowing and dominating Joe Biden at this point. Nobody seems to even care that a new President is being sworn in.
Everyone is too raged out and incapacitated by their hatred of the bad orange man!
The ONLY thing that appears realistic to me... is that they are truly scared of Trump and are looking at one last chance to delegitimize him for future purposes. Otherwise, it's nothing but hypocrisy and spite.
If Mr. Trump wants to avoid a second impeachment, his best path would be to take personal responsibility and resign. This would be the cleanest solution since it would immediately turn presidential duties over to Mr. Pence. And it would give Mr. Trump agency, a la Richard Nixon, over his own fate.
Scott, The Wall Street Journal too, is raged out and incapacitated by their hatred of the bad orange man!
I don't think they're scared of him. I think they hate him do much thst they're trying to destroy his reputation for thr rest of history. Pelosi couldn't wait to tell the press that she called a general to change the nuclear launch codes on Trump for God's sake. She wants the 25th amendment and impeachment. Good grief. The piling on is historic.

Gerald Ford
So to go through impeachment... The house would have to:
1) create articles of impeachment
2) create a committee
3) create a committee report
4) debate the articles of impeachment
5) vote
that is before it goes to the Senate
It took Pelosi and gang nearly three months from start to finish to approve two articles of impeachment against Trump. Both the Jackson and Clinton impeachments took between 2-3 months.

So much for Biden's unity.
If the house does have a hearing on Wednesday morning, if they impeachment bill is ready, they could vote by Wednesday night or Thursday
It would be sent to the Senate the same day!
Biden has been staying out of discussions on impeachment process.
He will be announcing his final cabinet nominees today
28 Times Media And Democrats Excused Or Endorsed Violence Committed By Left-Wing Activists
After excusing and ignoring riots from leftists all year, Democrats and their allies in the media are ready to condemn riots now that the turmoil has shifted to fit their narrative.
https://thefederalist.com/2021/01/07/28-times-media-and-democrats-excused-or-endorsed-violence-committed-by-left-wing-activists/
what i've learned over the past 6 months is that the only things that are "systemic" are the hypocrisy and the bullshit coming from the left.
Well Roger...
When you take two days to take what generally takes three months... you get what you pay for and people will see it for what it is worth.
Just a giant FUCK YOU to any Trump supporter and a chance to show that hypocrisy rules the day for liberals!
So you provide the new geriatric President with ZERO goodwill and 100% resistance from nearly half the country.
Great plan!
If I was Mitch McConnel I would hold a public Senate hearing and call every Democrat who supported Antifa riots over the summer and ask them to explain their own actions.
Spend weeks, if not months on it...
Ignored troll squad asshole

Just a giant FUCK YOU to any Trump supporter and a chance to show that hypocrisy rules the day for liberals!
these stupid fucks always over reach. the one thing we need right now is to lower the temperature in the room. liberals, driven by their Stage IV TDS want to crank it up to boil.
Scott, there are no procedural regulations, so if the Democrats have the impeachment bill ready to vote on Wednesday it would be sent to the Senate majority leader desk in minutes
Once the house votes to impeach the President, which could happen in one day. the impeachment bill would be sent immediately

where Mitch sits on the thing because to proceed with it would be the most idiotic and childish thing anyone could possibly do.
good thing you're on supervised lockdown alky wife-beater. you're a menace to yourself and others.
I just wonder out loud... what is it like to "hate" as much as liberals just "hate". Hate, hate, hate, anger, anger, anger... hate, hate, hate!
I couldn't live like that. Sorry.
So the pederast is a historical genius as the Alky is.....
Trump's "conflagration" (really his self immolation) [in simple language, he set himself on fire] will surely keep him from being a serious candidate for 2024.
And as for his lawyers, they aren't crazy clowns, for they made PLENTY of money defending (as best they could) Trump's insanities.
Your "unlikely to be true" list seems to be unsubstantiated hearsay or unsubstantiated hear"see."
Scott, you seem to be saying that you are far, far more clever than all the judges who looked at all the arguments for an unfair election and found them either unconvincing or GROSSLY unconvincing. (Some of them used some very strong language in their rejections.)
You're saying the public is being manipulated (not by the media which you say doesn't "work") --but BY THOSE JUDGES?
[There Roger seems right. You're out of your mind.)
You seem to be saying that the invasion of the Capitol Building was a peaceful protest that may have had some bad elements in it. DUH?
Biden was inciting violence? You're out of your mind.
Pre-inauguration Trump did indeed do a wonderful thing: He promised that he was going to tax the wealthy more because, he said, they "should" pay more.
Trouble is, he did not keep that lofty promise (that got a lot of the Tea Partiers' votes).
But that has never seemed to trouble you at all.
The police officer who later died was indeed injured by a protestor. Others were injured by protestors.
You see "bad health" as the reason.
I just wasted an hour listening to your bunko talk.
You say, if you were a police officer, you would know that the pushback would be strong if you shoot a black person, and that would deter you.
Let me just ask you this: How many white men do you know of who were shot repeatedly in the back by either white or black police officers? I know of none. Of black men who were so shot I know of three, all of them running or moving away from the shooter.
Scott, I don't hate Trump. I believe that he's a dangerous person who should never been elected
I hate people like Adolf Hitler and others who are evil.
Trump is a mentally disabled person. Even people who are working with him are frightened of him
Pence should implement the 25th amendment.
But we will prevail!
Our system has been working for 240 years.
...away from the white shooter.
my 10:57 am
error (blush) it was of course ford who pardoned nixon
Scott, you seem to be saying that you are far, far more clever than all the judges who looked at all the arguments for an unfair election and found them either unconvincing or GROSSLY unconvincing.
Continue to lie about me Reverend?
Other than hate and lies, what do you bring?
Let me quote "myself" from a post from just yesterday.
While I make no qualms about the fact that there were many statistical and logical inconsistencies with this particular election, I have never once suggested that I believed that the election would be overturned. However, believing that election contests like this can almost never be won, doesn't mean that you should not file the contest. For no other reason than to highlight and bring these allegations to the light of day.
That being said, understanding that these election contests were primarily for show should have been obvious to most everyone. But, of course, it was not obvious to the President (as we learned) and it was not obvious to many Trump supporters who were led to believe that these election challenges had a real chance to succeed. I have had this discussion with many Trump supporters who I attempted to convince (mostly unsuccessfully) that the challenges were ultimately an exercise in futility.
Not that it matters...
Tomorrow you will be back to lying about me again.

The Dark Winter Presidency is starting to effect gasoline prices as they rise.
WASHINGTON (AP) — House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Friday she has spoken to the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff about preventing President Donald Trump from initiating military actions or a nuclear strike.
Pelosi said in a statement to colleagues that she spoke with Gen. Mark Milley “to discuss available precautions for preventing an unstable president from initiating military hostilities or accessing the launch codes and ordering a nuclear strike.”
She said, the situation of “this unhinged President could not be more dangerous.”
Pelosi is meeting with the House Democratic caucus Friday to consider impeachment proceedings against the president.
She and Democratic Senate leader Chuck Schumer have called on Vice President Mike Pence and the Cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment to to force Trump from office. It’s a process for removing the president and installing the vice president to take over.
Trump is set to leave Jan. 20 when Democrat Joe Biden is to be inaugurated.
Democrats are discussing whether to act quickly to impeach Trump as soon as next week if his Cabinet doesn’t first try to remove him after he encouraged loyalists who ransacked the Capitol in a siege that has left five people dead.
The articles are expected to be introduced on Monday, with a vote as soon as Wednesday, according to a person familiar with the planning and granted anonymity to discuss it.
If Trump, whose term ends Jan. 20, were to be impeached by the House and convicted by the Senate, he could be prevented from running again in 2024 or ever holding the presidency again. Trump would be only the president to be twice impeached.
Scott, I said you were gaslighted, but I keep proving it regularly! Impeachment by Wednesday +

Key Democratic Senator Won’t Support $2,000 Checks
12:43 pm
“President-elect Joe Biden’s plans for a major new economic relief package boosting stimulus payments to $2,000 ran into possibly fatal opposition from his own party Friday as Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV.) said he would ‘absolutely not’ support a new round of checks,” the Washington Post reports.
“Manchin, a moderate who will hold great sway in a Senate split 50-50 between Democrats and Republicans, made his views known even as the Biden team worked to develop a coronavirus relief package that would include new stimulus checks, extended unemployment benefits, and more.”

A Rush to Keep Trump From Sparking Another Conflict
12:30 pm
“High-ranking national security officials have spent the last 24 hours scrambling to figure out how to keep their commander-in-chief, Donald Trump, from inciting further violence at home to spilling national secrets to sparking last-minute confrontations with international foes,” the Daily Beast reports.
“The concerns in the upper echelons of the administration’s national security community range from fears inside the Pentagon that the president will do or say something that effectively throws the U.S. into a military confrontation with another country to anxieties in the intelligence apparatus that Trump will divulge classified intelligence on his way out.”
Bonus Quote of the Day
“This morning, I spoke to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley to discuss available precautions for preventing an unstable president from initiating military hostilities or accessing the launch codes and ordering a nuclear strike.”

Lawmaker Helped Clean Capitol Until 3 a.m.

Rep. Andy Kim (D-NJ) told GQ that he stayed in the U.S. Capitol until 3 a.m. Thursday morning to help clean up the debris left by pro-Trump rioters.
Saud Kim: “There was trash and debris everywhere, broken furniture and broken flags, coats and gloves, cigarette butts and car keys. Trump flags and random bits of food. There was some body armor. This was probably the worst condition that room has ever been in. It broke my heart-—I almost started crying.”

probably because he could spot an asshole a mile away.
i sat down at a gate in the Phoenix airport one time around 20 years ago on my way home to KC. cracked open my laptop, started to work with an hour to kill and spotted a giant diamond ring out of the corner of my eye. looked over and saw the hand sporting the ring was holding a newspaper. looked closer and saw it was Lasorda. He glanced at me, nodded. I nodded back. We never said a word to each other. it was obvious he wanted to be left alone.

it's never all about you as far as they're concerned.
"Los Angeles County Public Health Director Dr. Barbara Ferrer was recorded saying the country's largest county would not reopen its schools until "after the election."
“We don’t realistically anticipate that we would be moving to either tier 2 or to reopening K-12 schools at least until after the election, in early November,” Ferrer said in a conference call with school administrators and medical staff, a recording of which was played on KFI's "John and Ken Show."
She kept her word, Today she announced K-12 Students will return to the physical classroom, in two weeks"
She is following "Science" , Political Science.
What will happen next is obvious: A total crushing, anti-free speech effort that treats Trump-supporting groups like Branch Davidians. An effort to restore the fundamentally unserious neocons as the voice of reason in the room. A hardening of the bounds of the People’s House to keep people away from politicians. A use of any levers of government power — including audits, regulation, and lawfare — to harass conservatives now categorized as seditionists and terrorists by the incoming president who falsely claims to want to unite the country. And above all, a doubling down on all the policies and efforts put in place to crush exactly the type of people who showed up at the Capitol yesterday in a foolish, desperate attempt to make themselves heard.
The rioters failed in their effort and ensured their marginalization. But marginalization doesn’t mean evaporation. They’re still here. They’re still Americans. And they’re not going away. How our politicians handle that will dictate a lot about the next several years. And that shouldn’t give people a lot of hope, considering that four years after his election and two weeks before his departure, the only person they’ll apparently listen to is still Donald Trump.

Trump Supporters Harass Lindsey Graham
2:45 pm
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) was verbally harassed by about a dozen Donald Trump supporters at Reagan National Airport on Friday after his public break with the president, Politico reports.
Several people repeatedly loudly yelled at the South Carolina Republican that he was a “traitor.” One woman called him a “liar,” while another said, “You work for the people, you work for us, do you hear me?”
In President Barack Obama’s book, “A Promised Land,” he compares Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) to a character in a spy movie “who double-crosses everyone to save his own skin.”
__________
Graham was an early critic of President Donald Trump, repeatedly attacking him during the 2015 and 2016 campaign for the Republican nomination.
"He’s a race-baiting, xenophobic, religious bigot,” Graham said of Trump in 2015.
“You know how you make America great again? Tell Donald Trump to go to hell.”
Then he became Trump's most cuddly lapdog.
And now?

Perdue Concedes Defeat to Ossoff
3:07 pm
David Perdue (R) conceded to Jon Ossoff (D) on Friday, ending Georgia’s runoffs for control of the U.S. Senate days after his campaign floated potential legal action to contest his narrow defeat, the Atlanta Journal Constitution reports.
Jon Ossoff: Jewish upbringing gave me ‘conviction to fight for the marginalized’
Ossoff may well be the most high-profile Jewish Democrat in the United States right now.
“I’m descended from Ashkenazi immigrants who fled pogroms in the early 20th century, and I grew up among relatives who were Holocaust survivors,” he told Haaretz in an exclusive interview last week. “So my Jewish upbringing instilled in me a conviction to fight for the marginalized and oppressed, and also to be vigilant where there’s the risk that authoritarianism may emerge.”
He says the Trump era has seen a dangerous rise in right-wing extremism, noting that “ethno-nationalism had been a threat to Jewish people throughout the world and our history, and a threat to minorities in American society.” However, he adds that since Trump was elected in 2016, we’ve also “seen a renaissance of civic engagement. It rejects right-wing extremism and now has served to defeat Donald Trump. The task at hand is to ensure that this movement blossoms and continues as more than mere opposition, but as a movement to help provide jobs and justice for all people in Georgia and across the country.”
While the runoff elections may have been unprecedented in this Southern state, they were not a fluke, but the culmination of years of work by activists and state officials to make the Democratic Party viable again in the South. President-elect Joe Biden’s victory in Georgia last month, by some 12,000 votes, was the first by a Democratic presidential candidate since Bill Clinton in 1992. And the fact that both Ossoff and his fellow Democratic candidate, Rev. Raphael Warnock, have unseated the two incumbent Republican senators is a remarkable turnaround.
“In the last decade, we’ve been building a multiracial, multigenerational coalition across race and faith lines committed to lifting working people of all backgrounds,” says Ossoff, 33. “The coalition in Georgia has invested in voter registration, volunteer mobilization and community outreach to grow this new Southern coalition.”
He adds: “I’m reflecting on the first meal I ever shared with [the late Georgia] Congressman John Lewis. He wanted to talk to me about the alliance between Jews and Blacks in the civil rights movement, and how he had marched alongside rabbis and Jewish activists for civil rights in the South in the mid-1960s. He stressed how important it was to sustain this alliance.”
What’s happening now, Ossoff believes, “is the emergence of this alliance coming out for health, jobs and justice for all people in this state. And that the standard bearers in these historic runoffs are a young Jewish son of an immigrant, mentored by John Lewis, and the senior pastor at Ebenezer Baptist Church, a Black preacher who holds Dr. [Martin Luther] King Jr’s pulpit and who pastored John Lewis, is a continuation of this tradition."

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) - A West Virginia state lawmaker has been charged with entering a restricted area of the U.S. Capitol after he livestreamed himself rushing into the building with a mob of pro-Trump supporters, the Justice Department announced Friday.
Ken Kohl, a top deputy federal prosecutor in Washington, announced the charge against Republican state Del. Derrick Evans on a call in which he presented dozens of new charges against members of the crowd that violently stormed the Capitol on Wednesday.
Police Officer Brian D. Sicknick, who succumbed on Thursday, Jan. 7, 2021, to the injuries he suffered defending the U.S. Capitol, against the violent mob who stormed it on January 6th.
99% of police officers are the bravest people in America. I hold The President responsible for his death.
U.S. Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick, who died Thursday, Jan. 7, 2021, of injuries sustained during the riot at the Capitol. A native of South River, N.J., Sicknick served in the New Jersey Air National Guard and went on to a law enforcement career, which his family said was his lifelong dream. He joined the Capitol Police in 2008. (United States Capitol.)

Trump Has Second Thoughts About His Concession Video
4:00 pm
“Donald Trump’s most loyal supporters feel angry and betrayed over the Thursday video in which the president tried to distance himself from a pro-Trump riot in Congress, despite the president’s advisers assuring him he had not alienated too many of his fans,” the Daily Beast reports.
“Shortly after his White House video—in which a scripted President Trump acknowledged that a transition to a ‘new’ administration was underway, but stopped short of even admitting that he indeed lost fairly to his 2020 Democratic opponent—posted online, Trump started having second thoughts.
"Throughout the evening, the outgoing, increasingly authoritarian leader of the free world quizzed close advisers and White House officials about if he did the right thing,
and if the reception from the public,
the media,
and his supporters was ‘good.’
… He asked if his supporters felt let down."

Well of course they do. They were only following what they took to be your orders!
