Just think of all the Democrats who would have to be impeached!
Credit Scott Adams with the best conservative strategy since Reagan's "We win. They lose," plan against the USSR.  A couple of weeks ago on a Periscope broadcast, he introduced his "Aggressive Compliance with the Rules" plan.  Under this strategy, Republicans would have to demand that Democrats play by the Democrats' rules.
Adams suggests that this be applied in the case of impeachment.  He argues that Democrats' case against Trump be made against them.  Democrats argue that he incited people to violence in his January 6 speech, as stated in the articles against him:
SNIP
Adams says fine.  If that's the standard to remove Trump from office, it must also be the standard for removing members of Congress as well.
We all know that speaker Pelosi, along with Representative Waters and a host of others, have said far worse.  So articles of impeachment must immediately be filed against each of them and any other Democrat who's said likewise.  Adams makes the point that highlighting the Democrats' hypocrisy — the traditional tried and failed GOP strategy — needs to be thrown onto the ash heap.  For far too long we've complained, we've talked, we've followed conservative media, we've written essays — hell, we've even voted Republican.  Now is the time for action.
It's time for conservatives to contact Leader McCarthy and their nearest GOP member of Congress and demand that they file articles of impeachment against Pelosi and Waters ASAP.  Democrats must be held to the same standards they wish to apply to Republicans.  The time for talking is over.  Only by applying what Adams called "aggressive compliance with the rules" will we have any hope of success.
And the impeach issue is just the first one.

There is a removal process but the majority would never throw out one of their own
Yes he did, Saul told the left to do it. Scott just has a web site and wants Republicans to fight back using the same tactic. Without the MSM this will be difficult, but I like the concept of turnabout.
For this to work the Republicans would have to possess balls. The only Republican with a pair was ousted in a coup supported by God damned people like Romney.
We need a new party.
Or a revolution.
The difference is the Left doesn’t give a hoot about rules. Conservatives are all about them. We can point and shout...they won’t care. They will use another Alinsky rule: Mocking and ridicule.
And honestly, when the right uses mocking and ridicule they come across as ham-fisted and bullying.
We are just not naturally “mean” people.
Forget it - he’s on a roll.
It seems like it is the eternal battle between good and evil.
What if Democrats were forced to play by their own rules?

The act of impeachment can cover the President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States which includes all officers who hold their appointments under the national government, whether their duties are executive or judicial, in the highest or the lowest departments of the government, with the exception of officers of the army and navy.
Our country has been in existence with this system for now closed to 238 years with hundreds, really thousands, of “officers” falling under this scrutiny every year. But in all this time, only 21 impeachments have been voted by the House...three in the last 26 years, and two of one officer in the last four years. So for the preceding 212 years, the average amount of impeachment with all the thousands of possibilities that was actually determined in the house was one every 11.8 years on the average. But that doesn’t count the number of investigations and proceedings that were halted, that can number in the hundred of thousands also. We need to regroup in one of two directions:
First: Establish a process that clings closer to our judicial theology. Congress made up the rules of impeachment so that they could remove a person and keep the integrity of the government. As those rules have been re-defined so many times in well over 200 years, they are now not a real positivity of rule. Removal of office is not considered equal to criminal law punishment by congress. So taking a job away for non-criminal activities is determined correct. In the outside world there would be a legitimate lawsuit. Congress has placed themselves above the law which the citizens use. That in itself could be considered coercion when it is based upon party vote. This could easily be considered a coup which is defined as:
a sudden, and illegal seizure of power from a government.
Two: create a non-agendaed group of non-governmental employees whose job is to determine the level of severity and/or existence of an offense. In other words, special prosecutors whose job is to investigate congress’s related efforts to impeach. Selections are no different from the current stock of possible candidates. Pay them a retaining fee, and keep them under contract to step in when required. this can be accomplished through contract.
The House has given themselves too much power for threat over a sitting president though intimidation and is now after a non-sitting private person with the same laws that apply to government officials. And the rules they made up further this effort. They need their wings clipped to protect the people elected and appointed to office by those electees. When you consider that removal from a job means almost nothing in government. And bad publicity like the first Trump impeachment that had no witnesses, no evidence of a crime, but was being used to attack a president in the media without all the evidence being forwarded, is actually more criminal than a regular ponzi scheme. And they are put in jail.

It really does. I guess that is why one of the options I am considering is to just stop playing the game. I retired early. I have no debts. I am ready to pay for my “last” new vehicle with cash...and simply fall off the rock so far as playing with the government.
There is the new girl that filed impeachment articles against slow Joe. That takes some guts and she’s right on all accounts.
Keep on the better path and grow closer to God each day.
This is also encouragement for the young.
Do the best you can with what you have where you are.
