Following the Trump-incited riots last week in Washington, House Democrats are pushing to impeach the president for a second time. Politico reports today:

The House will take its first formal step toward removing President Donald
Trump Tuesday, with Democrats warning he presents a grave and immediate threat
to the nation despite having
just a week left in office.

Democrats’ push to force Trump out — first with a vote later Tuesday calling
on Vice President Mike Pence to take unilateral action and then an impeachment
vote Wednesday — is barreling to the floor at unprecedented speed.

“This
is a solemn day,” House Rules Chair Jim McGovern said as his panel moved
quickly to tee up the resolution intended to pressure Pence. The Massachusetts
Democrat, who was steps away from the doors as rioters attempted to pound their
way into the chamber last Wednesday, rebuked Trump for urging his supporters to
march on the Capitol where their insurrection temporarily halted certification
of President-elect Joe Biden’s win.

“He
called together an angry mob, he filled them with falsehoods and false hope.
And then he sent them to the U.S. Capitol,” McGovern said. “It is past time for
the vice president to do the right thing here.”

Over the weekend, U.S. Rep. Tom O’Halleran joined the four other Democrats in the House delegation—Reps. Raul Grijalva, Ann Kirkpatrick, Greg Stanton and Ruben Gallego—in announcing he would support impeachment proceedings if Vice President Mike Pence and the president’s cabinet did not take action to remove Trump via the 25th Amendment.

“Today, it’s clear to me that the Vice President and President Trump’s Cabinet have no intention of taking action,” O’Halleran said over the weekend. “Moreover, we’ve seen just how quickly things can escalate; with American blood on his hands, Donald Trump should not remain in the highest seat of power in the free world for even the next 11 days. I am joining my colleagues on a resolution to draw up Articles of Impeachment to remove Donald Trump from office, preventing him from becoming a further threat to our national security.”

O’Halleran cited his past career as a cop in announcing his decision.

“As a former law enforcement officer and criminal investigator, I spent my career gathering facts and evidence to pursue truth and justice,” O’Halleran said in a prepared statement. “Today, I am using the facts at hand to inform my decision to act to remove a threat to our nation: Donald Trump refused to concede in a free and fair election and incited insurrection by domestic terrorists who scaled walls and strode armed through our Capitol, threatening lives and desecrating the building that represents our very democracy. In our democracy, we hold elected officials accountable when they break the public trust and put their own interests before the good of our country.”

  1. Sorry to break up your little love/hate fest but Trump did not send antifa to the Capitol Building. This video clearly shows the antifa rioters that caused the shooting of Ashli Babbit. Now the question is why did the Congress not have more protection outside? Why did they open the barriers? Why did they waive the Trump supporters in? Was it a trap?

    Tom O’Halleran joined the four other Democrats in the House delegation—Reps. Raul Grijalva, Ann Kirkpatrick, Greg Stanton and Ruben Gallego—in announcing he would support impeachment proceedings….

    Just what do they know about who invited antifa because they were storming the building while Trump was still speaking 20 minutes away.

    It’s easy to find facts when you look for them and unfortunately the facts reported by the day to day suckers in the media never add up.

    These do!

    Has that MO been seen before?

    Numerous times.

    Who has the guts to report it?

  2. Babbit violated her oath to this country and became a traitor. I don’t care what happened to her for her bad choices.

  3. Then I guess you would also like to see the same end result for antifa and blm members. We must continue to support equal justice over social justice. If we are to be treated as the same we must be held to the exact same standards.

  4. The FBI and other law enforcement agencies have already concluded that there is no evidence whatsoever that antifa played any role in the violent attack on the Capitol.

    You Tchump f*ckwits live in a delusional nightmare of your own invention. The problem is, for the last four years, decent, rational people had to live in it with you.

    Believe whatever ridiculous fantasies you want, but the rest of us know these truths to be objective facts: 1) 60 different lawsuits, dozens of different judges, and ZERO indication of any election fraud whatsoever; 2) Your racist piece of shit “president” LOST, fair and square; 3) Time for the MAGA C.H.U.D. to GET OVER IT, crawl back under your manhole covers and STFU.

    PROSECUTE THE TERRORISTS AND TRAITORS!
