House Democrats on Monday released a revised article of impeachment against President Trump.

The proposed resolution was drafted in response to last Wednesday's Capitol riot. The article, formally introduced on Monday, is based on a draft released one day after the riot.

The resolution charges Trump with "inciting violence against the government of the United States" first by "repeatedly issu[ing] false statements" about the presidential election as well as by speaking to the mob before it breached the Capitol.

Democrats are prepared to vote on the resolution this week. If it passes, it will be the second time the House has voted to impeach Trump.

Read the full resolution below.

The resolution charges Trump with "inciting violence against the government of the United States" first by "repeatedly issu[ing] false statements" about the presidential election as well as by speaking to the mob before it breached the Capitol.

1) Stacy Abrams still says she won that election a long, long time ago. Are her false statements actionable?

2) The President of the United States spoke to a crowd. Should he not have done that? Was that wrong? Because I gotta tell ya, I've seen a lot of presidents, and that sort of thing goes on all the time.

The entire article of impeachment is for saying:

"...if you donâ½½t fight like hell you're not going to have a country anymore..."

He was referring to his own fight in that part of the speech. He noted that most people would simply give up instead.

How will they prove that his statements were false?

Congress shat its pants when the patriots arrived. Can’t deny Trump told them to show up in the neighborhood after he got them riled up. Yes, he said no violence, but to avoid a fight you don’t send a man down to his ex-girlfriend’s house where she’s getting busy with his best friend with the windows open and tell him to behave. Rather, you buy him a drink, tell him to forget about her, and make sure he gets home.

So historically, yes, this is exactly when a legislature will decapitate an executive. To protect its privileges and teach future executives a lesson.

But this resolution is hogwash, and anyone who votes for its language is a liar. Which brings us back to the pants. You can get stains out of trousers, but you can’t bring burned pants back to life.

I actually believe there will be a resignation this week, followed by a Pence pardon.

About the only exit strategy now to make certain that Ross Perot 2.0 doesn’t actually tell everyone the real story. Or that might be the deal to make certain that DJT does not do an Assange/Snowden data dump of every server the US government owns...officially or otherwise.

The 25th Amendment, to be used on TRUMP, designed by Rockefeller & Kissinger ‘WATERGATE AMENDMENT’, by John Fitzgerald, on amazon. Great novel about the Rockefeller’s scream to implement the 25th Amendment.

It is almost like the Dems want a real insurrection.

That's my take, too. They themselves are inciting rebellion. Trying to outlaw MAGA rallies will just make them bigger. Everything they are doing is Stalinist purge tactics and guaranteed to make the backlash much bigger.

They haven't fired on Fort Sumter yet, but they have fired on the "Star of the West." Coincidentally, that was EXACTLY 160 years ago to the day.

So the GOP will be able to put all the fraud into evidence?

I think part of this is simply that they want Trump to go down as the only president who was impeached twice.

I don’t think Pence would pardon him.

False. Hmmm I think on the 15th the get the ballots for Fulton county in a audit. That will show fraud. Unless they won’t let them do the audit.

Article of impeachment against Trump

Gee, Nanzi should be proud, Joe Stalin couldn't have written it better, himself.

What is this, their 6th impeachment?

They went forward with the 4th or 5th. They did not remove him.

Nanzi has just admitted that it is a political tool and that is all that it is.

From the Saul Alinsky playbook:
Always accuse your enemy of what you yourself are doing.

They got the idea from satan, originally. The dems have perfected the art. Keep this in mind when listening to anything they say. Turn the accusation back upon them and it will let you know exactly what they are doing.

In this case they are staging an insurrection via election tampering, censorship, Article 25 and impeachment proceedings. It is not their first attempt. It may, however, be their last. Lord willing, it will be.
