Pelosi calls for Trump to resign or else face removal
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.

Let’s be honest. Joke Biden and the whore chosen as VP are not in any way legally elected. So let’s skip their “Inauguration” and just admit the USA has been stolen by enemies. Bath House Barry was never legally inaugurated because he, too, was illegal as hell. We, as US Citizens, have NO obligation to adhere to any laws rules set down under the illegal regime. Period. Stop paying taxes, stop being nice. Do what you need to do to protect you and yours. Period.

If she gets enough votes, he is impeached.
If the Senate gets enough votes, he is removed.
Ground is nothing to those seeking vengeance.

I wonder if it is a setup of sorts to sow division than go after Biden for not unifying everyone and demand he step down. He made that weird comment a few months ago about if he had a disagreement he would just step down.

Release everything

Many of us have been begging, cajoling the President to do that for many months.

There is _nothing_ to lose.

The Deep State has done every bad deed imaginable for decades--release it all--whoever gets burned--tough!

how? by whom?

guys that didn’t even protect their heritage from being torn down by animals?

It’s LAUGHABLE every time I read this stuff here now.

200 million guns.

No one willing to even get off the couch and stop the insanity for a year now.

I suggest people stop making fools of themselves saying things they are not going to do or be a part of.

If you mean it, DO IT!!

No I suspect we will all talk tough for another 4 years

In fact, I guarantee it

Yo Nanzi, remember that guy named Haman? He built a gallows with which to take care of a pest he didn’t care for. Guess who ended up swinging at the end of the rope . . .

Yes it is about 2024 and keeping Trump from running. Think about it ... the demonkkkraps do not want a “do-over” in 2024 when Buyden will be 82 years old, and have to run as an 82 year old with a bad or broken record, or if he dies or steps down ... it will be wide open. Camel Harris ... nahhhh. Who will be their torch bearer? The whole election fraud will be part of a 2024 campaign and the Jan 6,2020 Antifa infiltration of MAGA will be the demonkkkraps entire campaign. 2020 will be a mild election in comparison.

Joe Buyden’s words about unity are going to be used against him. And the expected favoritism given to Hunter, ...this ain’t over by a long shot. That is why the suppression of Trump supporters is going into high gear.

PS - I am waiting for Schumer to be charged by DOJ with threatening two Justices in 2020, and Nancy for destroying government property when she tore up the 2020 SOTU on live tv. Yes, let’s have at it.

It’s all so they can try to keep PDJT from running in 2024. Same reason the dems are needlessly attacking Cruz right now and asking him to resign for no reason. They’re scared he can beat Harris in 2024, even with the massive fraud, by appealing to Trump supporters if Trump himself doesn’t run.

Dementia Joe is a clear and present danger around nukes _now_.

The twenty fifth amendment is actually quaint in the nuclear age—by the time the process was followed the bad deed may already have been done.

As a Demonicrat Pelosi is a lying murdering traitor. She’s also descending into TDS-unhinged dementia.

Release it to where?

I would imagine somebody loyal to the President would have access to the Internet and could send the files all over the world, _including_ to enemies like China and Iran, not to mention Wikileaks and a bunch of third world countries, to make _sure_ the documents got released.

I am sure the President already has _tons_ of devastating documents in his possession or in the possession of loyal staff.

The perfect is the enemy of the good--he could easily do an Internet data dump that would change history forever.

Agree, enough madam speaker. Start drafting your resolution, ‘cause nobody is going to resign with 12 days left. (Especially because of the actions of antifa goons.)

Draft it, then Stick it.

Yes, they are trying to stop something, but what? For everything we see and hear, there are probably a dozen things going on that are invisible, for now.
