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.

Didn’t Wikileaks release a ton of files a few hours ago?

Great post.

The GOP had an opportunity to support their President and work together to stop election fraud from winning the day.

They chose not to do so.

They will _never_ be able to walk that back...

No.

Trolls keep reposting it pretending it's new.

“or else face removal”

“Face” removal is something I would rather see Nancy do. At least a bag on the head as a courtesy.

Panic causes many weird tendencies. Fancy Nancy (along with others)is on the far side of panic; the noose is tightening. They are slowly realizing they have been caught. Soon the truth will be known. Now, what to do?

Their plan is to not only impeach our President but to arrest him and imprison him. Just watch.

Modern-day former presidents were all denizens of the swamp or aspired to it after their terms ended. President Trump is different. He doesn’t need to cash in on his presidency so there is no leverage Nancy has over him. Since she has dedicated herself to destroying Trump, the President has no reason to treat her well or withhold the secrets of the swamp which he has learned. Of course she’s panicked about what he might do in the next few days.

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.

YES!

Pelosi needs a medical intervention. Shes completely off her meds. Is it Alzeheimers affecting her judgement or has she stroked out? Her behavior (and that of the MSM) is reminisent of a jilted and bitter ex-wife trying to ‘punish’ their ex-spouse.
