President Donald Trump has been officially impeached for a second time, with the latest attempt striking me as no more legitimate than the last. As I’ve shared in other articles, factually, I don’t believe Trump ever incited violence on January 6th when a group of QAnon morons rushed the Capitol Building. He pointedly said to protest “peacefully” in his speech given prior to the action. While his previous comments on the election being stolen may have gotten people worked up, that’s hardly a viable standard for incitement — otherwise, many more politicians would be in jail right now.
Looking at all the aspects of this, I simply don’t believe there’s some deeply principled, justified reason to be impeaching Trump after he’s left office. Right now, the Senate trial isn’t even scheduled, and the President is gone on Wednesday.
Now, a Democrat House Impeachment manager is giving the game away. This has always really been about stopping Trump in 2024.

A House impeachment manager acknowledged on Sunday that one reason for charging President Donald Trump with incitement of insurrection was to prevent the outgoing commander in chief from trying to become president again.
“One of the other purposes of impeachment in this case is to make sure that President Trump is not able to run for federal office again, that he’s not able to seek the presidency,” Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-Texas) told George Stephanopoulos on ABC’s “This Week.”
There’s nothing quite as democratic as abusing the constitutional power of impeachment, moving forward on mere partisan supposition, in order to stop voters from having the opportunity to vote for who they want. Would I prefer an 80 year old Trump as the nominee in 2024 over some other options? No, I wouldn’t, but you’d better believe I think voters have the right to make that decision individually.
Democrats are terrified that carrying a failing Biden administration into 2024, with an awful standard-bearer like Kamala Harris at the forefront, is a recipe for a Trump resurgence. Of course, if they were smart, they’d let this impeachment nonsense go. Perhaps Trump gets bored and decides he’d rather play golf for the rest of his days? But if you poke the bear, don’t be surprised when he bites. This is only going to fire up Trump and his supporters more to make another go at it.
Regardless, impeachment shouldn’t be used this way. It was never meant to be a tool used under specious circumstances to stop a political opponent from being able to run for office again. No crime was committed here by Trump, nor is there any evidence of actual incitement on Trump’s part. Voters should get to make their own decision on the matter, not some partisans in Washington hoping to take advantage of short-term hysteria.
The real reason they want to break him....they are terrified he will write a book and put on paper all he has learned about the criminal DC
Even Wikipedia says that's not true.
Trump Jr. was born on December 31, 1977, in Manhattan, New York City, to Ivana and Donald Trump.[
I have been waiting for the chance to ask:
The dims violated constitutional process as spelled out in the Constitution when the house impeached Trump the last time.
Since they did not follow the Constitution, is that impeachment not illegal?
Will the supreme court rule it illegal?
He was born in Manhattan. Why is he not the correct type of citizen?
Yikes thanks for the correction.
Not kidding they know how badly a Biden presidency is going to go
“He was born in Manhattan. Why is he not the correct type of citizen?”
Yes, but there are a few here who insist that the parents be US born. It doesn’t matter that it holds no Constitutional sway.
They will keep saying it over and over and over. Daily.
Donald John Trump Jr. was born December 31, 1977 in New York City. However, his mother, Ivana, was a Czech national who worked as a ski instructor in Canada and lived with boutique owner, George (Jiři) Syrovatka. She met Donald Sr in 1976 and married him in 1977, the year that Don Jr was born. She became a naturalized US citizen in 1988. There is no provision in the Constitution and no controlling American case law to support a contention that the citizenship of one’s parents governs the eligibility of U.S. citizens born within the United States to be President.
They cannot vote on banning from office until after they have successfully voted to remove from office.
Dersh poo pooed this whole thing.
You’re welcome. :-)

“1/18/21. I’m guessing after hearing VP Pence’s address to the soldiers of the 10th Mountain Division yesterday, boldly declaring “the best is yet to come” — there are many who are feeling a bit embarrassed for labeling him a traitor a few weeks ago. At the very least, they’re now quite confused.
Ahhh, the twists and turns of war. Ya just gotta love it!”
There will be no trial in the Senate. The Constitution mandates the Chief Justice preside, and as private citizen Trump is no longer President, Chief Justice Roberts will decline. He may hate Trump but even he won’t participate in a total kangaroo court sham.
The Dems are reducing the impeachment clause into nothing more than a Pelozi queef.
In the future impeachment will be used to eliminate candidates prior to the election.
Was Ivana a citizen when Don Jr was born?
Ivana was not a citizen when he was born.
Yrah Trolls are getting nervous are you not?
Not a high crime or a misdemeanor. No reason at all to convict.
Great point! It’s unbelievable that the Dems can’t see the handwriting on the wall.
That's looking at the big picture.
Tucker Carlson is always spot on but he was en fuego and as eloquent and thoughtful as I’ve ever heard him. This is a must watch & share!
If you don’t know how much trouble we’re in, this will clear the cobwebs!
