Friday News Roundup: Trump Concedes, but the Drumbeat for Impeachment Will Pound on
DB Daily Update ^ | David Blackmon

Posted on 01/08/2021 4:57:07 AM PST by EyesOfTX

[Note: This piece includes heavy video content.]

We may never find out, but I think it’s fairly likely that Mitch McConnell, Lindsey Graham or some other Trump semi-ally in the Senate got on the phone with the President yesterday and told him that unless he issued a concession such as this and promised an orderly transition, there were at least 20 Republican votes in the Senate in favor of removing him from office in an impeachment process. Probably more.

The pre-existence of that many votes, along with the now-50 Democrat votes, would be more than enough to facilitate a very quick impeachment/removal process without holding any hearings, given that the House only requires a majority vote to impeach and the Democrats hold such a majority there. The Q people on Twitter are still out there trying to convince you all that Donald Trump will remain in the presidency past January 20, but that’s not going to happen, folks. There really aren’t any magic bullets in the world.

They don’t want him to return in 2024. Impeachment keeps a person from holding further office.

The left is scared to death of Donald Trump and the populist movement.

President Trump has set the left back at least for a generation.

The measure of the lefts fear is that they will never let up tryingto destroy President Trump, his family and those who work for him.

But this is not over.

So much winning to come!

For starters, Biden has reaped the whirlwind.

Civol disobedience will rule the next 4 years.

Meanwhile the crooss eyed ding bat, Nancy Pelosi calls for removing the president of the United States by the 25th amendment.

They are trying to do this to a man loved by 74 million Americans.

No Unity. No Justice, No Peace,

Did I miss something, I never heard him say he conceded. I thought he had a card left to play but am starting to wonder.

Great idea!

Impeach the greatest President of our lifetime while at the same time have the loony left in and out of congress demonstrate exactly why they have no business being anywhere near power.

They are literally and publicly threatening retribution and gulags against their opposition

We just endured 4 years of the left refusing to do ANYTHING but try to stop Trump from succeeding. I’m guessing we will see 4 more of them trying to impeach, or jail, or whatever him now. That said, my only hope is they will be so busy doing that they’ll not have as much time to destroy America as they would otherwise.

Doctored video. Has Trump been seen by anyone since the 6th?

No fixing stupid. They have reams of evidence of voter fraud, and not one jot of proof that Trump incited an armed insurrection, or that there even was an armed insurrection. So this is studious stupidity of the very worst kind. I’m sure Trump can handle it, but I’m not so sure I can anymore.

Feel like burying my head in the Netflix sand and not coming out until 2024.

“drumbeat”

A nice metaphor since drums just make noise.

"President Trump has set the left back at least for a generation."

A generation? Hardly. The erasure process has already started. By this time next year, it will be as if Trump had never existed.

First of all - Don’t believe the report.

But if Trump is threatened with impeachment by his own party, then I would tell them to pound sand. Impeach me, but there are lot more Trumps waiting in line - Donald Jr., Eric, Laura, even Baron.

They have got 75 to 80 million votes the minute they declare for the presidency.
How many have you rhinos got?

The republican party has just made itself a relic. Just like the Whigs.

The only ones left I would trust are Cruz, Nunes, Steven Miller, Grenell - there sure aren’t many. Would make a good topic. Who is left to trust ?

We’ve all watched Trump for 4 or 5 years. He’s very transparent. We know what he’s thinking, he reacts very openly and engages with the press regularly. The fact that he’s not on a lawn somewhere chatting with the press and pushing back on their narrative speaks very loudly. Has anyone seen him since the 6th? When was the last time you remember President Trump not having an opinion of something? We need to DEMAND answers

Trump is not a press release and statement kind of person. He’s also not a taped video type of person. In the middle of “a pandemic” he threw a massive party on the Qhite House lawn. He is not taping video answers. Come on, we’ve watched him for 5 years

“Did I miss something, I never heard him say he conceded. I thought he had a card left to play but am starting to wonder.”

The Democrat party are still wanting to remove Trump, he must have something up his sleeves.

I have NEVER in a 35+ year career in intelligence, every witnessed, heard of, or contemplated the possibility of a finished intelligence product (DNI report), being allowed to stand with analytical bias kept as a determining factor for the assessment.

What planet are we on?

Secondly, I can’t even grasp how analysts would be allowed to keep their jobs when admitting they skewed analysis based on concerns the finished intelligence product would be used for “political” purposes.

What planet are we on?

Third, I have never seen, heard of, of contemplated the possibility of senior intelligence officers being shackled to the conclusions of analysts of an intelligence product with stated analytical bias.

What planet are we on? Let me off. This is insanity.

We should immediate petition the president to surrender to the Chinese unconditionally, because there is no path for peace, prosperity, security, or victory under these conditions.
