The Washington Times ^ | JANUARY 08, 2021 | ALEX SWOYER

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced Friday her colleagues have decided to move forward with impeaching President Trump for a second time if he does not resign.

After an hours long meeting, the California Democrat said members of Congress hope Mr. Trump will resign but if not, they’ll move forward on their own.

“I have instructed the Rules Committee to be prepared to move forward with Congressman Jamie Raskin’s 25th Amendment legislation and a motion for impeachment. Accordingly, the House will preserve every option – including the 25th Amendment, a motion to impeach or a privileged resolution for impeachment,” she announced.

Under the 25th Amendment a president can be removed from office should the vice president and a majority of the Cabinet agree — or, alternatively, the vice president and another body that Congress designates for the purpose of determining a president’s fitness.

I wouldn’t wait.

I’d like to see President Trump issue boatloads of pardons this weekend and declassify reams of material, which is the right of any sitting president.

Until noon on January 20th, Donald J. Trump is the president.

My thoughts too. It is not beyond Pelosi to create enough havoc to confound Biden enough to open up the way for her control in the executive.

Those prosecutors would be canvassing selected precincts where the suspected fraud took place.

Release it to where? Will “they” even give it to him?

Maybe he already has it?

Hope so. My imagination says he has to ask some staffer, they go put it up, but he may be more hands on then that. Especially now.

They now control all three branches of govt....

They won't control the Supreme Court until they pack it, which is their intention.

The Supreme Court has effectively endorsed election fraud—since actions speak louder than words.

Because they want to humiliate him.

This is exactly what this is about. Pure hatred and vengeance is driving this. I wonder how many Biden voters believe this is the right thing to do.

I misstated. Meant to say Senate, House and presidency.

I don't pay much attention to Nanzi’s ravings, but I pay close attention to the GOP responses or lack of them. Danger is always at freedom's door step; it's liberty's defenses that count. And the GOP's powers of resistance are, to be generous, minute. The only sentiment I can muster for the GOP is, and has been, disgust.

Pelousy has been descending from crazy to utterly insane. She’s hitting rock bottom now. (Hadn’t she even the intelligence to look at a calendar? Pdjt is already lacking his underwear leaving office without Nancy’s inane big mouth trying to blow him out the door )
