Popular Post newnative Posted January 9, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 9, 2021 Hang him high. Barring that, impeach him a second time, even though time is short. Do not let his horrible actions go unpunished. When the history of his failed, presidency is written, there needs to be a chapter on the SECOND impeachment. A president so awful he was impeached not once but twice. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will say again, not refering to conviction. This can be done anytime after the senate receives the articles of impeachment and requires a simple majority.

They're bypassing some of the perfunctory investigative processes (it's obvious what the dirtbag did!) and he could be impeached by Wednesday. What THIS would do is force the Senate's hand. They would have to reconvene for a vote. Then, 2/3 of the Senator's present could vote him out of office. Those still beholden to 45 could just refuse to return, saving face yet allowing the dangerous, deranged lunatic to be removed from office. Keep yer eyes open, it's gonna get interesting! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitch is going to lose some of his power, as Minority Senate whip. His wife, Secty of Transport, just got embarrassed enough to jump ship. 2 assumptions: Congress will indict. In the Senate vote, 2 Dems will abstain. So you need 19 GOP senators. Likely? perhaps not, but possible. This is the only opportunity for the GOP will take back their party. Trump's ace card always was the threat that he would withhold his nominations for RINO's. Now that his invincibility has been erased in Georgia, he is weaker than he has even been. With that in mind for the midterms in 2022, who know how GOP Congressmen/women and senators will vote. Strangely enough, all I want to see is at least a 2 party system, not the threat of a future dictator/autocrat/First Family dynasty (none of whom has the skill set to replace Trump) . 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lived on bases until I was 18. Worked in the tech world and for a long time, only sold to government/military organizations. Most in the military are hard core supporters of the constitution. They may like Trump, but they won't do anything that violates their oath to the constitution.

Yes, and Dominion filed a $1.3 billion suit against sidney powell, the lunatic who claimed dead hugo chavez altered the election results, among other moonbat lunacies. . Dominion forced the crazed clown lou dobbs to discredit his own statements about Dominion. The individual lawsuits are best, because even though a guy like hannity has $100 million net worth, if a court holds up a billion dollar ruling against him, he's bankrupt and destitute. The time has come. Willfully spouting lies might be free speech, but it comes with consequences. Let him pay. 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your wrong. The police chief tried to get the national guard in. The only ones who can do that are Trump and Pence. They blocked it, for obvious reasons. But the police chief didn't seem to care. Thus, he resigned in shame. Trump is responsible for this. Period. He could have ordered the building secured after seeing 10s of thousands of nuts. He didn't, and was actually happy watching it. As reported by many in the White House. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
