Let us be painfully clear – and fast in clarity. If Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer re-impeach Donald Trump – twisting an established legal standard for “incitement” to match their disdain for Trump – bad things follow. Here is how that works – and why Biden should call them off.
Democrats will move to impeach this week, giddy over controlling both chambers. They will ditch due process, and any semblance of established constitutional procedure. They will have to, as time is short for ousting a president due to leave office anyway in eleven days.
The idea of a measured, multi-month parliamentary inquiry, traditionally premised on dutiful committee work, sound procedure, articulation of historical bases for “high crimes or misdemeanors,” legal representation, fidelity to tradition and honor – will have to be tossed.
The mad dash to impeach – claiming Trump’s injudicious, improvident, reckless remarks amount to “insurrection,” since an unruly mob overran the Capitol – is already well along.
Truth be told, the fast track, slap-dash impeachment may succeed, since that spectacle of violence at the Capitol, resulting in five deaths, was horrifying. Visuals left emotional imprints.
If the case is made that President Trump intended these events, the House and Senate could move like lightening, making the attempted impeachments of Andrew Johnson, Richard Nixon, Bill Clinton, and even the earlier Trump impeachment mockery – look like child’s play.
But here is the arresting reality, which ought to stop Democrats cold. If this sober constitutional remedy for “high crimes and misdemeanors” is – in some slipshod, venal way – reconceived, legally twisted, procedurally accelerated, and suddenly redefined, no president will escape it.
Let me specific. Who does not think, in all honesty, if a power-drunk, fast-tracking Democrat mob in House and Senate exact political vengeance with instant impeachment, a similar move would not emerge in two years, going directly after Biden or Harris, if House and Senate flip?
Is this what Democrats and Republicans want? What any American leader or citizen should want – a suddenly common, debilitating default to presidential impeachments? We are already at the border of that constitutional nightmare – one our Founders would firmly foreswear.
When Democrats unilaterally changed Senate rules for confirming judges, giving their party a sudden leg up on appointments under a Democrat president, they imagined the more historically hesitant, procedurally attentive, often demur, traditional Republicans would not follow suit.
How did that work out? Ask any Democrat how they feel about President Trump’s 220 new federal judges and three new Justices. Point is simple: If you cheapen the process for partisan gain, you forget an iron rule of Washington DC and of politics: What goes around comes around.
Democrats should not expect a more conservative, traditional, history-minded Republican majority – with a 50-50 chance of flipping both House and Senate in 2022 – will forget. No, reality is a swift, pointless, legally unsound impeachment of President Trump – conducted like a Communist kangaroo court in just eleven days – is a shout destined to echo a hundred years.
And the first echo, if history is our guide, could be as early as 2023, two years from now. If discretion is the better part of valor, wisdom the distillate of reason, mercy a balance for justice, decency and respect touchstone of good leaders, this senseless impeachment should be tabled, in favor of holding onto whatever dignity Congress has left.
While this may mean nothing in our shrill political times, rife with vengeance – most living Americans and a majority of those who came before, would say stop this useless impeachment. That said, unless Biden weighs in – claiming magnanimity – the impeachment gambit will go forward. That would be a blow to the Republic as great as recent violence, arguably far worse.
I think that impeaching a President who is already out of office is about as smart as bringing dead murderers to trial, finding them guilty, and sentencing them to death.
In 2022, we need to re-elect no incumbent. We need for hundreds of true conservatives to run
and they need to identify themselves now. The 2022 primary is much more important than the
Nov 2022 vote.
Those obsessed with Trump will need a lobotomy this week. What will they be doing ? Their jobs ?
I’m speaking of Nancy, Swalwell ( the chi-com spy), Nadler, Shifty, Romney and that crowd.
The Dems would be ecstatic for the Repubs to impeach Biden in a couple of years. It has ALWAYS been their intention to remove Biden from office at some point to allow their real choice for President, Kommie Harris to assume the office. A Repub impeachment would absolve them of the responsibility of having to come up with another reason for removal. It would give them another brickbat to bludgeon Repubs with. The Repubs are too linguini spined to go through with it though. They’re going to be cowering under their chairs for the next two years, chewing their fingernails down to the quick over whether they will be able to be re-elected in 2022. They’ll be dam(m)ed by the Dems if they support Trump and dam(m)ed by 70 million Trump supporters if they don’t. They’re just going to have to decide who holds the power over their fate in their hands. Will Trump support fade as time passes or will it only grow stronger as the persecution of him, his family and supporters accelerates under the (Biden)/Harris administration?
The Socialist, liberal left along with the Republican Rhinos, with the confirmation of Joe Biden as President, told us to “shut up and get in line,” we just got slapped in the face. Someone tell me did we like it? I guess so long as they, those who hold the power, have sheep to sheer the status quo will be maintained; politics as usual! I guess that is what Americans wanted; well, at least half the nation.
What does any of our conversations mean anymore. Words that lead to no real action are worthless! Why listen to any news media it is all spin? Why support Hollywood’s garbage peddled as entertainment? Why believe anything on the internet? It is ALL spin with an agenda. The only sure thing about TRUTH these days is there is not enough of it going around. The cultural norm now is for Democrats and Republicans to speak out of both sides of their mouths and We The People let them get away with it. Politicians will tell the people what they want to hear and then do what they want “all in the name and best interest of the people. WAKE UP AMERICA the devil is no longer at the door but in the house. Politicians have lined their pockets with tax dollars and pass laws that they themselves are exempt. The Constitution has been crapped upon, The Peoples Voice trampled as they are preparing to take even more of our rights away. Our best efforts, focus as THE PEOPLE now should be to keep the government out of our pockets, maintain our right to exercise faith and keep these deplorables away from our children. The title Politician has become a profane, dirty word, the lowest of all positions in life, deserving of little respect or attention. Long like the Republic, the right of the people to govern themselves and GOD bless America.
Joey does not have the character, wit or the grit. I have reasoned that If Joey Biden can make it into the White House then Jeffery Epstein could have qualified to be the President. The position means nothing anymore as well as all our online discussions on AMAC or any other format. WE THE PEOPLE no longer have any say in our governance. The People were outwitted by the left.
This surreal and so-called impeachment is simply the sh*t show of Pelosi and her Demshevik accomplices who truly fear all the accomplishments that President Trump had made during his presidency. President Trump’s accomplishments in 4 short years stand in stark contrast to the abject and continuing failures of the Demsheviks and their Deep State denizens.
Pelosi is the Poster Witch for “Trump Derangement Syndrome.” Her insanity on this subject is unparalleled. This is a toxic woman who does not serve the American people in any meaningful way. The fact that she is third in line to be president is an alarming fact and if she ever is elevated to that position, we will all have a front row seat watching the inmates running the asylum (and the country into the ground). Would someone with COVID-19 go cough in her face – pleeeeeezzzzeeee.
Pelosi has done nothing in the past four years besides being obsessed with impeaching Trump and she should have to give back every penny of her salary for that time. She sure hasn’t earned it. Plus all the bar tabs on her flights home that the taxpayers have had to pick up. She is a disgrace to America.
Not a chance in Hell that commie Biden would stop it
Hopefully they wont have time to impeach Donald Trump and The only people attending in the Inauguration will be the Swamp creatures and BLM with ANTIFA and 25,000 Armed Reservists …
These swamp creatures, having hopelessly reprobate minds, will spend OUR MONEY on everything EXCEPT Actually BENEFITTING American Citizens (with the exception of “themselves”, of course!). IS IT EVEN POSSIBLE TO RID OURSELVES OF THESE REPUGNANT “PARASITIC” CREATURES ???!
Trump was never impeached ! Why does all news say so? It was tried but didn’t pass The Senate as I recall. If it had passed he would have had to advocate his position. Am I not right. ?
The only reason Pelosi wants him impeached is so he can never be president again. SHES HORRIFIED OF HIM BEcAUSE HE CAN EXPOSE AND DEMOLISH THE MARXIST REGIME LIKE NO OTHER!!! They are the swamp!
LETS ALL HELP BY PRAYING. ——-GOD IS THE. ONLY. ANSWER!
A couple of “seers” said Biden would be arrested before he could be swarn in! Pray they’re right! He should be PLEASE PRAY.
It’s our only answer.
We will see over the next 10 days that Biden will go along with anything his handlers tell him to do.
As far as impeaching Trump, Nancy is too stupid to realize that at least 85 million voters oppose it.
And she has this job for 2 more years ? How can you be speaker in a nursing home ? I guess this
govenment must be run by old , white people. Oh well.
I am not at all convinced that Biden has any say so over what the Democrat Socialists will do.
Oh Lord! It’s not to hard to see the future of America if the Democrats proceed with their agenda. Civil war is a very ugly thing. Do the right thing, Joe.
Biden has no power as of yet, let alone the fact that he is clueless as to what is going on around him!
Why can’t they just accept the fact that they won? Why do they have to be sore about it. I don’t understand their need to get one more jab in or to throw more fuel on the fire. And they wonder why there is such a divide.
SURRENDER TO YOU SLAVERY IS WHAT BLACKS FOR AFERICA DID, WHAT JEWS DID TO HITLER. AMERICA FOUNDERS DID NOT SURRENDER TO BRITISH SLAVERY. AMERICA TO DUMB FAT AND HAPPY TO TALK AND DO NOTHING NOTHING NOTHING. SOCIALIST LAUGH AT YOUR WEAK WORDS AS THE SLOWELY KILL YOU. AND KNOW THEY WILL KILL YOU IF YOU CAN’T PICK THEIR COTTON. FREEDOM IS NEVER FREE. BOUGHT WITH BLOOD
Unfortunately term limits will not be on the table . God willing things will turn in 23 . The haters have to go and we all know their names, and how long they’ve been in government. The third person in power ripping up the State of the Union speech in front of millions of Americans, and these people are making decisions for our country too. Biden will not stop the impeachment. He hates the President as much as the no names mentioned. Karma’s a b*~^h. . . Hopefully this road is not taken .
Our country is in dire straits. The election was stolen. It is becoming more and more clear that it was BLM and professional agitators that caused the problems at the Capitol. There were one million quiet Trump supporters. We have octogenarians running our country right now and hot on their heels are socialist lunatics like AOC. As much as I would like the Democrat Party to simply die of old age, I dread the future with their young. The vitriolic hatred of Trump is sickening. There is no basis in fact for it and he was haunted and hunted down during his entire term. I truly fear for our country. I fear we will lose the greatest country on earth and along with it our democracy.
Pelosi has fancied herself as the up and coming dictator the first. If nothing, the Demonicrat controlled House and Senate should remember they usurped the legislative standards and strong armed ill conceived legislation through under Obama. Now they act like the Republican’s are the only ones to do it when they Senate confirmed the last Justice of the Supreme court. Pelosi is delusional!
So it’s time for REAL American Citizens to step up and focus on removal of ALL socialist democrats who choose to exploit,steal,and destroy OUR Country,Constitution and right to Freedom.
The useless failed policies, morals and hatred of democrats which is now in plain view,flaunted in the faces of decent law abiding people must end now.
It is We the People, not self serving elites, and washington establishment, that rule America.
They need to be removed , NOT a President who was the only honest,hardworking person in the washington cesspool.
Open your eyes and follow the money,the REAL steal of votes was only the beginning of their fleecing of our Country.
Had enough, let’s go America, drain the swamp.
They aren’t worried about 2 years from now. They’ve got it! They successfully cheated in TWO fraudulent elections and are confident in their ability to keep a republican from ever getting elected again! Biden/Harris/Pelosi took it all!
Enough, already!! Trump is only in office for another 8 days. Pelosi needs to stop being so spiteful. Makes me wonder what she is afraid of.
Agree with article, but I will pray that Trump does not do something damaging to America in the last 8-days in office. It sounds like he will still work on some pardons & what is Pompeo doing this week??
The dims won the election and they’re still PO’ed. What is point of winning if you’re still angry ?
You’re right. Biden should stop it. Personally, I hope Trump is impeached 5 times this week. Every impeachment is a stripe on Trumps
sleeve and a reminder of how swamp crooks failed to stop him. DC will have Trump nightmares for years and I love it. Trump has revealed
the swamp creatures for who they are, has stripped them naked, and shown a light directly upon them. No swamp creature wants that.
They are now exposed and out in the open fleeing to Joe Biden for new cover. Meanwhile swamp crooks like Comey and Brennan go free.
There is no future “FLIPS”, if this voter fraud succeeds, NOBODY will get “elected” the MACHINES RULE, welcome to the MATRIX, the scotus will be bloated with injustices and law and order will cease to exist, innocense will not exist if you are not ccp members, they with SILENCE FREE SPEECH AND OPPOSITION, we will be a “banana republic”, they WILL impeach the greatest PRESIDENT that ever lived, he made promises and kept them, he showed the SWAMP RATS for how evil and WORTHLESS they truly are, they want control of the WH DESPERATELY, they have a stack of Pardons five feet high they want to “legitimize” as quickly as possible, they corrupted the scotus, fbi, doj, state and local courts, and law enforcement, where are the “dirty”cops? Have any of them EVER been “punished”? Not in socialist/dem systems, WE THE PEOPLE have the right to RECALL our politicians if they fail to serve us or defend the constitution, take them out individually, expose them and make them turn on thier gang members, this will also expose just how corrupt judges and lawyers truly are.
Amen! Well reasonedand thought-out!
Things are falling apart far faster than anyone anticipated. The drums of civil war are beating
loud and fast,.The commies are trying to stop the conservative opposition before it has a chance
to get going. All of us need to reach out to other like minded people in our areas and build networks
of mutual interest.
Biden weigh in?? He can’t put 2 coherent sentences together unless it’s written out for him. Let’s weigh in on the Biden family corruption!!
They are acting like spoiled, power hungry children who always have to get their way. They only want impeachment so they can prevent the President from running for office again. Fine. I pray that each and every politician who plots against the President will “get what they deserve” as deemed by God’s will. Then I pray they rot in Hell afterwards. I am SICK of all this childish drama. I wish we could’ve empty out the House and Senate and start all over. But America is doomed. Beijing Biden will sell us out to the highest bidder.
AMEN!!!
If it’s believed that Trump incited the action at the Capitol, then shouldn’t Pelosi and some others be held equally accountable for inciting rioting this past summer?
Biden is unfit mentally and physically to hold office. He is the Dems own hand puppet. Pelosi is number 3 on the presidential list can you believe that. Once they 25 JB, she’ll be no 2. Didn’t Harris have a sexual harassment against JB? Didn’t she say she was black?-Color should not matter at all. Only the most qualified should hold such precious Political Office, and these people are not even close. Total Crooks. This was a Government takeover, we all know it, now what’s to be done to defend our Constitution?
Biden won’t do anything his handlers don’t approve of and I doubt they would approve of it
I hate to be a downer, but I don’t think it makes a difference. They have it all now and aren’t giving it up. As far as I can see we won’t win office anymore because of the rigged elections, case in point, Georgia. I don’t know what the answer is, but counting on elections probably isn’t it. We need a plan and need it fast.
Biden is not a leader he is a pawn. A 26 amendment would solve the problem. An amendment that would apply to mentally ill congressmen (oh sorry I should have used the pro-noun “them”. She (oops – “it” is unhinged, out of control. vengeful and perhaps “ice creamed” with power.
It is all about the ego of Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer. They are up for election next year. Hope they go by the wayside.
The wags in academia, the media, tech giants etal still don’t understand why Mr. Trump was elected president in the first place. They cannot imagine anyone having thoughts or feelings that differ from their own. They also don’t realize that they are also to blame for the divisions within the nation, the most recent being the failure to redress the grievance about the possibility of election fraud and deceit.
It’s true we won’t forget the truly illegal election of Joe Biden come 2022 mid-terms; however, if nothing is done by the spineless Republicans to stop mail in ballot fraud, allow proper overseeing of counting by both parties, eliminate ballot harvesting, and preventing anyone other than state legislature from changing voting rules – well, it will be the same results- we will be robbed again. Also the voter registration records need to be updated, eliminating dead people who seem to continue to vote despite being dead! What is the point of having rigged elections? I just hope some of the people who actually voted for these Democrats will see the damage Democrats have done to our country by mid term election time, and vote Republican. I am an Independent, and I have voted for Republicans and Democrats – not for the party but for the person and their platform, and what I thought it would do for our country and people.
I was saddened to see our Capitol Building overrun and disrespected, and these people should all be prosecuted. We should also see what other groups might have been involved. Conservatives do not normally break into buildings and destroy property. They have endured four years of being called names and being degraded by the elites; and handled the insults with composure and dignity. One only need to consider the source of the insults, and that eliminates any need to be disturbed by it.
Our freedoms are being attacked daily by the Socialist/Communist Democrats – we must act now if we are to preserve our Republic. Benjamin Franklin said, “We are giving you a Republic, Madam; if you can keep it.” Let’s not let Benjamin Franklin down or any of our other patriotic Founding Fathers. Our children and grandchildren deserve to live in the land of the free and the home of the brave, not a grotesque totalitarian government controlled country. Too many of our brave men and women have shed their blood to keep America free and safe. Our greatest danger is from within now – the Democratic elitist NWO politicians who want power and riches for themselves at the expense of the American people.
God bless America, and send us some brave, patriotic leaders who will keep America as the America we know and love.
What Republican stands by another Republican when the ship is in a storm? We are in a perfect storm for the Democrats to do whatever they want to Pres. Trump and he will have no majority at his back only us citizens in row boats rowing behind wondering if we will survive this disaster. The Democrats rioted and no uproar was heard; Hunter got caught but nothing was done; Hilary got caught and she sailed thru it untouched along with Obama at her side and the final blow they rigged the election, twice in Georgia within two months. The Democrats have a well organized machine. If they don’t impeach him or VP Pence does not betray him; they will find a way to press criminal charges for whatever they can make up and twist. In CA Waters has actually called for civil riots and she gets re-elected. Harris is a known manhandler and Biden a mobster. Nothing happens. Pray for Pres Trump and his children only God can help this Country
Let the country go to hell Democrats!!!! This country may have voted Trump out of office but it DID NOT vote for Socialism! Democrats think we are all, and I mean ALL Americans except the powers at be are stupid! Let these clowns screw the country! Hurt the very folks that voted for them and come 2022 – watch the House and Senate flip to Republican majorities and hopefully conservative legislators!!! Don’t lose hope! The Democrat leadership is running on full pride, arrogance and salivating at the mouth for power! Freedom and rights are the last things on their minds! They just want it ALL! Well let them hurt their constituencies! I know a lot of voters who didn’t like Trump but they didn’t like Biden either! They voted Democrat for president holding their nose but will vote against the Democrats if they hurt the economy, keep folks locked up even after getting a covid vaccine, mess with retirement accounts and any constitutional rights!!! We haven’t had a real hurt for the leftist voters and if we want those folks to wake up and see the frog boiling in the pan, well hurt is what they need! It will be hard but I those of us who follow the light (Jesus) knows who is really in charge! He wants ALL to come to Him, and sometimes suffering is what it’s going to take!
This article needs some proofreading & correction. The first president impeached was Andrew JOHNSON, not Andrew Jackson. I think “Let me specific” s/b “Let me BE specific.”
Dems spent $40million taxpayer $$$ on Mueller’s investigation into false Russian collusion against President Trump. Now Pelosi & Co want to impeach President Trump AGAIN on false allegation that he caused trashing of Capitol bldg. President Trump told people to go home peacefully. There’s only 9 days left in President Trump’s term.Pelosi is real good at wasting taxpayer dollars.
You are right about what goes around comes around. I distinctly remember Mitch McConnell stating, as soon as Obama became President,My number one goal is to make him a one term President.That was wrong for him to say .We do need term limits. I’m republican but try to be objective.
With this 2nd impeachment effort the socialist are trying to block Pres Trump for campaigning in 2023 for the 2024-2028 term.
Pelosi’s rabid pursuit of impeachment on so little facts will, ultimately, come back to bite the dims in the rear. She is demented as are most of the older members of both houses. Time for a Convention of States in my opinion as well as pursuing term limits and logical retirement ages for politicians. The ones who are supposed to ‘serve We the People’ would have aged out of any civilian job and as they continue to demonstrate their mental issues should be removed. That includes several from both sides of the aisle.
You know that they are spreading false information of rioting everywhere and are going to blame Conservatives who will all be home not rioting on January 20th.
