They can also vote to never have his name appear on a federal building. I don't see why taxpayers should pay anything to Trump after what he has done. Especially if he's as wealthy as he claims to be... 4 Link to post Share on other sites

Yea, very unfortunate the Joint Chief of Staff felt such a statement was necessary (but I'm glad they had the courage and foresight to issue it). Reminds me of this film; I assume there are more patriots like the guy on the right, then traitors like the guy on the left. Oh, and when Nipkow discusses this film he always says it ended the wrong way! 1 Link to post Share on other sites

The facts establish that he is unfit to remain in office a single day longer and warrant the immediate impeachment of President Trump. Link to post Share on other sites

Bogie56 Posted January 13 Author Share Posted January 13 House is expected to impeach Trump for record SECOND time today after Pence refuses to invoke 25th Amendment despite 223-205 House vote: GOP No.3 Liz Cheney leads Republicans backing impeachment as Mitch McConnell calls for President to be 'purged' The House passed a resolution urging Vice President Mike Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment removing President Donald Trump from power despite Pence sending a letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi earlier Tuesday saying he'll refused. In a vote that wrapped up around 11:30 p.m. Tuesday, the House voted 223-205 to approve the resolution, which can't actually force the vice president's hand. Then, on Wednesday, the House Democrats will try to impeach Trump for a second time over his role in last Wednesday's Capitol Hill riot. At least five House Republicans are expected join. 'I do not believe that such a course of action is in the best interest of our Nation or consistent with the Constitution,' Pence said in his letter to Pelosi, refusing to pull the trigger on the 25th. 'Last week, I did not yield to pressure to exert beyond my constitutional authority to determine the outcome of the election, and I will not now yield to efforts in the House of Representatives to play political games at a time so serious in the life of our Nation,' Pence added. Pence's letter came as the House was holding procedural votes on the resolution. No Republicans joined on until the final vote - with Rep. Adam Kinzinger joining Democrats in the push to have Pence to use the 25th. Kinzinger also said he'll vote for impeachment. Rep. Jamie Raskin (bottom right) penned the 25th Amendment resolution the House voted in favor of Tuesday while Rep. Jim Jordan (inset second bottom right), an Ohio Republican, criticized the Democrats' effort to have Vice President Mike Pence utilize the 25th Amendment. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Bogie56 Posted January 13 Author Share Posted January 13 Greg Sargent @ThePlumLineGS · 3h Here's how the GOP game works: By claiming calls for Trump's removal threaten "unity," Republicans are spinning the idea that our problem is *generalized division.* In reality, it's anti-democratic forces waging violent warfare on pro-democratic ones: https://washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/01/12/republicans-must-unambiguously-admit-that-trumps-lies-threaten-more-violence/… 1 Link to post Share on other sites

txfilmfan Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 11 hours ago, Princess of Tap said: People have seen American Military reconnoitering in the air around Scotland. The source of that was a report in a newspaper that Prestwick Airport near Glasgow had been briefed to expect U.S. military aircraft arriving on January 19. There was speculation at that time that Trump would spend time immediately after the inauguration at his club in Scotland. At that point, the Scottish first minister Nicola Sturgeon said Trump would not be allowed into Scotland due to COVID restrictions, as his travel would be considered non-essential.
