House Democrats draft article of impeachment charging Trump with 'incitement of insurrection': Fast Track introduction as early as Monday and a full House vote as early as middle of next week

House Democrats on Friday discussed moving forward with efforts to impeach President Donald Trump a second time, circulating the draft of a single article citing "incitement of insurrection" that they could introduce as early as Monday and hold a full House vote on as early as the middle of next week.

The article charges Trump with "willfully inciting violence against the government of the United States" with his comments at the rally outside the White House that it says "encouraged—and foreseeably resulted in—imminent lawless action at the Capitol."

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi held a lengthy conference call with her caucus Friday on how to proceed with just 12 days to go before Trump will leave office.

"The president chose to be an insurrectionist," Pelosi told members at the start, according to a source on the call.

Earlier, she sent a letter saying Democrats should pursue impeachment unless Trump resigned "immediately."

They really want a war don’t they?

No, they just know they can do whatever they want, and no one is gonna do squat to stop them.

I just heard that Apple is banning Parler from its platform until it cleans up its content. This from WarRoom.

This is false. It is still available as a download on the Apple Store.

The key question is, how many republican senators would vote to convict?

Whats to stop Trump from resigning just before the vote and avoiding an impeachment?

I've remarked elsewhere that this is an option and in fine Trump style. Outfox them at the last hour by resigning, making Pence the shortest-term president ever, making impeachment moot, and leaving Pence with the nasty work of attending the inauguration of the faux potus. Then a well-deserved vacation and plans for 2024.

If he’s impeached and convicted they can then vote to ban him from public office.

I wonder if they forgot when Trump had to be taken to the bunker and more than 60 Secret Service agents were injured:

Yeah, for the people that want to “heal” they are darn vindictive. Little people with big power, just like the real Nazi’s.

Things are unravelling faster than I ever thought possible. The traitorous democrats are slitting their own throats. They will not be forgiven, nor forgotten, nor will they ever live in peace again. Such fools they are!

This is the same ‘bait & switch’ act (maybe not the right term) they pulled on civil rights. For decades the DEMs wore the white sheets and terrorized blacks and were against them voting BUT when times changed they hung that on the REPUBS and the DEMs timed it just right and took credit with the actions in 1964 on the voting rights act and as SEN L Johnson said ‘we'll have them 9blacks) eating out of our hands for a 100 years!’

Now having stolen the biggest election ever in the history of our country, instead of getting caught, or of having congress explain details to the public in open hearings and keeping the focus on that and maybe getting it righted at last min, with the same kind of play they've used before the DEMs - the setup - their henchmen (antifa) were let in, lead in as or with TRUMPs supporters and the dems media lead the worl to believe that the whole congress was under siege, the lying plot takes over the news and never to be spoken about again will is the STOLEN ELECTION / NEVER IN HISTORY - never no where - only that TRUMP tried to take over the GOVT!’

Yes and the media, DEMs and REPUBs are JUST FINE WITH THE LIE!

GD it - I'M NOT!

THEY ARE BEGGING FOR CIVIL WAR II

If it is so stipulated in the conviction in the Senate, I believe.

The sharks are in a feeding frenzy. Everyone can smell blood now.

First, make an example of Trump. Next, begin the purges.

We the peons must never again get the idea that we own the country. We don’t. We exist only to serve our overlords.

Congress was briefed before the January 6th Million MAGA March about ANTIFA actors infiltrating the protest to cause chaos, sew seeds of violence, and ultimately change the narrative by turning an overall peaceful protest into a mainstream media declared riot.

I am so ashamed of America!

These lies and hate that began in the MSM and social media networks from day one of President Donald Trump's first day in office are an extreme exposure of where this country has gone into disgusting failure.

What a pathetic failure this nation has become! President Donald Trump did so much to fix the broken and screwed up things that the self-centered politicians for decades have created.

While for all four years of his presidency they attacked him, vilified him and spewed their hate and lies because he wasn't part of their deep state of corruption. And they didn't want to be exposed with their hands in the cookie jars making millions for themselves while doing nothing for America.

And now they have to keep pressing because they feel they've got the people's back supporting their hate and corruption. SO SAD!

This Reichstaag Fire was planned by the left MONTHS ago! How do I know? Remember Nancy's fuss over the 25th amendment paperwork she filed a few weeks back and many thought it might even be for Joe Biden?

THAT WAS FOR IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE CAPITOL INCIDENT!!!! THE DEEP STATE PLANS FAR, FAR, FAR IN ADVANCE!
