I took a beating on Twitter Thursday night for making what I thought was a commonsense observation that President Trump should be negotiating favorable terms for resignation "if there are 20 GOP senators who’d vote to impeach."
In our current climate, this was taken as a call for Trump’s impeachment. But it wasn’t a value judgment. It was a mathematical calculation.
As it happens, I do think the president has committed an impeachable offense, making a reckless speech that incited a throng on the mall, which foreseeably included an insurrectionist mob.
These rioters ended up overwhelming security forces and storming the Capitol. They shut down a solemn constitutional proceeding, endangering the lives of the vice president and the people’s representatives. They ripped through the facility, causing not only significant property damage but grave injuries.

Making a reckless speech?
Impeachable?
And by the way genius, the senators don’t impeach.

Seriously, breathing is not an impeachable offense.

Pathetic little soy bitches over there at National Review - next to the greatest president of my lifetime, Donald J. Trump - they are about the size of a rat dropping.

You know Andrew, the next innocent speech these folks might go after could be your own.

These people describe what happened at the Capitol as if that makes the president legally responsible for it.
Biden supported the much more violent attack on the White House.
This is bs.

I took a beating on Twitter Thursday night I’ll bet he enjoyed every minute of it.

Glad he made an observation on Twitter where the president has been censored.
Isn’t that a wonderful country he lives in.
