There’s only 12 days left in Donald Trump’s presidency, but the House democrats plan on impeaching him anyway next week. Citing the mild “riot” at the Capitol this week, which they blame on the President, democrats say they will move ahead by introducing articles of impeachment mid-week. This seems like a very productive use of their time and resources considering there’s absolutely nothing else going on in this country, like a pandemic, that could use some attention.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and newly-stolen Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer are demanding that Vice President Mike Pence invoke the 25th Amendment and remove President Trump from office. If Pence fails to do their bidding, the democrats say they will move ahead with impeachment.
Here’s Assistant House Speaker Katherine Clark saying that the dems aren’t going to wait around for Mike Pence to betray President Trump:

“If the reports are correct, and Mike Pence is not going to uphold his oath of office and remove the president and help protect our democracy, then we will move forward with impeachment to do just that,” said Clark.
Since when does the Vice President take an oath to unseat the President because the opposition party hates him?
“We have a president that incited a seditious mob to storm the Capitol. We now have five deaths from that and the harm to our democracy is really unfathomable,” Clark said.
Wait, first she says that they have to impeach Trump to protect democracy and then she says democracy has been unfathomably harmed. How can you protect something that has already been destroyed? Also, how is our democracy any different today than it was on Monday?
It’s interesting how democrats insist that removing a President from office, undoing the will of the people, is an act of protecting democracy. They’ve done this for Trump’s entire presidency.
Clark said the democrats will introduce articles of impeachment next week and they will use “procedural tools” to fast-track it to a floor vote. Unlike the last impeachment, they won’t even bother rolling out “witnesses” to testify how President Trump hurt their feelings.
Fast-tracking or not, the fact that there’s only 12 days until Trump is out of office makes this as silly as anything the democrats do. Let’s say they introduce the articles of impeachment next Wednesday and get rid of all evidence gathering and testimony for a floor vote. That means they’d only have a week to impeach Trump before his term expires.
Then, the 2 new illegitimate democratic Senators from Georgia haven’t been sworn in yet, so Republicans still control the Senate and it’s highly unlikely that Mitch McConnell is going to start an impeachment trial with days to go in the Trump presidency. Even if he did, the Senate trial has rules and one of those is that the President has a right to defend himself and Trump could drag that out indefinitely.
Democrats are spiteful people and they are still pissed they couldn’t remove Trump from office with the bogus Ukraine scandal. It’s not bad enough that they stole Trump’s reelection from him, they want to kick him in the ass on his way out.
