Under the timeline outlined by Senator Chuck Schumer [01:40 of video] the House will deliver the article of impeachment Monday evening January 25th. Senators will be sworn-in Tuesday January 26th, and the trial will officially begin the week of February 8th.
Apparently speculation is that Roberts will not be in attendance. SCOTUS only presides when a President is under trial. Trump is no longer President. I would suggest Trumps legal team may question the legitimacy of the senate trying a private citizen
Nope, there is no precedence and the Senate has no power to convict a former President that is now a private citizen. The entire charade is extralegal. Any role Shumer gives Harris is meaningless and again, extralegal. If dems are allowed to get away with this, even if they don’t convict, it sets a terrible precedent and gives the Senate power they do not and should not have. In fact Shumer needs to be censured at the least for ignoring the Constitution. It must be stopped before the dems are allowed to pull off just another hoax on the Country. If the dems are allowed to continue to accrue power outside the Constitution there will be no stopping them from destroying it.
Harris is not even a legitimate vice president because she is not a natural born citizen. The more the dems are allowed to ignore the Constitution, the weaker the Constitution becomes and the more our rule of law foundation crumbles.
And I (many of us) said the same thing about the FIRST impeachment, in fact about everything they have tried to do against Trump, and everything they have tried to do against the American people, at every level of “law enforcement”. They are lawless; it’s what they do.
Precisely, Raintree.
The Constitution specifies that it must be the Chief Justice. If the Chief Justice does not show, it is not a constitutionally valid impeachment trial. Even if the Chief Justice appears, the Constitution does not allow the Senate to issue a verdict for an individual who is not a current officeholder.
The House and Senate, had they wished to proceed against “The President” had until Jan 20, 2021 to deliver a verdict. They did not do so, so guess what? The Senate now has no legal standing to issue any verdict of an ex-president. You could also call it ‘laches’ for failure to bring a claim while the President was still in office.
Under our Constitution, the impeachment clause grants jurisdiction regarding current office holders, not former ones. If a violation of law occurred with evidence to prove it, the case would be referred to DOJ.
However, the very words of the President to march to the Capitol building ” peacefully” would (should ) preclude any charges ever being filed by DOJ, but then again, DOJ is politicized more now than at any other time. Most of the shame belongs to William Barr who saw it and did nothing.
I cannot stomach these people any longer. These so “righteous” people, constantly stand in judgement of President Trump, as they proceed to do whatever they wish, the Constitution be damned.
Barr is a coward. A spineless moral turd. I had grave reservations about him from day one, but (like Mitch McConnell) he was good at making constitutional noises.
When it was announced that Durham’s probe release was delayed until after the election I knew the fix was in.
The House has already Impeached (charged) him. The House of Horrors voted to impeach without any hearings or due process, on a “crime” that the President did not commit.
The Senate Trial is to determine acquital or guilt, punishment upon finding of guilt is removal from office AND no longer eligible to hold office. How can a person who no longer holds office be removed from said office – maybe they meant to impeach China Joe and bring him to trial? /s.
Additionally, per the Constitution, the officer who presides over the Trial is the Chief Justice, period.
Leftists are not going to quit attacking America until they achieve their ideological goal.
They are zealots… nothing will get in their way to achieve a single state country that lavishes the riches of our once prosperous nation on the chosen few.
I am cursed Drogers… I live in a blue city in a blue state. I see the corrosive force leftism becomes… whole infrastructures and standards of living fall apart but, some how, the chosen ones get attention and are lavished with “programs for help” funded by taxpayer money.
Politicians never ask what the taxpayer can expect in return?
Cause nothing says “UNITY” more than conducting an illegal show trial of the guy whom you cheated out of his victory! Especially since he didn’t expose all of your crap on the way out for all the world to see because he cared more about preserving the country than about getting revenge…
Oh, wow… you’re right, “to beat”… I must’ve been thinking about SOME OTHER Tweet, or maybe it was the WaPoOpEd calling for IMMEDIATE IMPEACHMENT as of Inauguration Day 2017.
Was JUST thinking this same thing… they’ve already started, and they’re not pitter-pattering around. I don’t think they’ll ultimately succeed, at the end of the day… but they’re going to Slash ‘N Burn til they can’t Slash ‘N Burn no more.
There are concerns in some quarters that the riot will be used as justification to limit constitutionally protected political speech. The latest Harvard CAPS-Harris survey found that 60 percent of Americans said they were worried the siege on the Capitol would be used as an excuse to curb civil rights. Psaki said the administration’s efforts would be done with “respect for constitutionally protected free speech and political activities.”
Don’t bullshit me, Jen Psaki. We’ve been down this road before, and we know how it ends. Like… you know… HOW IT ENDS IS A MATTER OF PUBLIC RECORD.
And let me just say: there’s nobody in a position of authority — ESPECIALLY CONGRESS — who will “save” us from that Hell On Earth that The Left is cooking up. Sssoooo… let’s just say it ultimately won’t end well.
You know you are no longer free when you government points the policing and military assets at its internal population rather than the threats beyond its boarders!
So I wonder, if our founders thought that way they would have never fought the British Empire. They were bigger and more powerful, and yet they bit their as$es. If you think small you’ll be squash. 74/100 million heavily arm and thinking they stand no chance. It’s a cowardly thinking IMHO.
They can if the Uniparty allows it. You think they are not on their way to declaring us domestic terrorists? Dlems have declared war. Republicans are in full retreat.
I want our new party to promise impeachment for everyone who wasted our time on this for their OTHER real crimes in the House and Senate AND the ex presidents.
#EyeforanEyeImpeachments
Unlike Dems we have real issues, but they threaten us daily and it’s all to throw us off the scent of their crimes. We cannot let that continue.
Let them know there are consequences to political persecution
I don’t think they realize it. Look at Fox News and what happened to the Tour de France after Armstrong was exposed. (Or they they really don’t need the votes either.)
The 14th Amendment jumped into the national discussion in the wake of the Capitol attack, in addition to impeachment and talk of invoking the 25th Amendment, an idea rejected by then-Vice President Pence.
Must be a couple more Amendments floating around that they can try… or just make a new one.
They are never held to account. We just put our heads down and hope that someday it will all be okay.

Jealousy and envy will be on full display all because Trump had the temerity to showcase his talent to turn the country around so easily, expose the hoax of the “new normal” while highlighting the ineptitude and greed of the corrupt Swamp.

I hope DJT considers defending himself in person at the trial.
I think they are saying that because President Trump questioned the results of the election it led to the actions of the 6th. President Trumps attorneys better have video of the capital hill police escorting those people into the capital and right up the stairs to the senate chamber. The video of the cops standing around while a Trump supporter ask them why they are not doing anything and not calling back up. They need to float the idea this was preplanned because Omar didn’t write articles of impeachment while she was hiding under her desk, that they were written in advance because the “siege” was planned and congress was in on it.p along with the capital hills police.
Out new battle cry must be “we will not comply.” States must work together to sue Bi Den on every one of his moves. Lawfare times 100. Some small court in any state should shut the move down countrywide.
Oh Chuckie gets a woody every time Trump opens his mouth. Nanzi Piglousy is so old and pickled that she can’t get excited by anything, but a Vodka bottle.
littleredmachine, heavens no he shouldn’t go near the Capitol. Nanci would probably have the Sargent At Arms arrest him. She’s just that crazy. I have read that somewhere in the bowels of the Capitol there is a jail cell leftover from the early days.
Why so Nancy or Chucky can scream for the sergeant at arms to arrest him?
He should just respond with ‘I’m a private Citizen now your actions are not constitutional, not that you all have ever cared a day about our constitution.’
Yep, precisely so. No longer matters, just like my vote. Our Constitution has long been shredded. These Communists intend to do as they will because they no longer fear the people.
Nasty Nancy didn’t tear up President Trumps speech at the last SOTU it was the constitution. Who knew?

Senate can’t conduct trials of of private citizens and then impose penalties on them, such as prohibiting them from holding office. It’s an odd, mutant version of a bill of attainder and is specifically prohibited and unconstitutional under Article I section 9. The Senate can remove a sitting President and THEN bar, but once out of office the Senate has no jurisdiction to conduct a “trial” of private citizen Trump.
trapper, common sense and The Constitution would dictate that, but Nannie Nanci has her own rules. What I find astounding is she gets away with it. No one in three branches of government stands up to her. It seems to me, she is really running the government.
One congresswoman from one district from the state of California runs the country. It’s simply astounding.
The last few months the Dems lied, committed crimes, fraud, stole the election and installed with the help of the Republicans, an illegal President.
Does anyone here at CTH PUT ANYTHING PAST THEM NOW? Please do not act surprised Treepers. We are in an open totalitarian regime. DC Statehood in a few weeks? You bet! They are now going to institutionalize their lies. Even if we vote, terrorists can’t vote, remember? No voting machines they still win.

Don’t lose focus. All of the RINOs need to be tossed out of our party. Make a list of those who go along with this sh22 show. Primary them. Get rid of them. We got this. 75 million of us are on board for the fight.
I agree, but I think we need to go deeper than that. Rebuild the party from the ground up from the precinct level up.
Start here to try to find how to get involved at your own local level. I think most of the party at the local level will be up for new elections starting now!
Better yet, make a list of those senators that do not go to the microphones with their prepared speeches about the unconstitutionality of this proposed impeachment trial. Congress had its opportunity while the President was in office. They blew it, and now have no standing to try or sentence a private citizen.
This is impeachment is unconstitutional. Evert Republican Senator MUST walk out of the proceedings and not participate. Every Republican who does not do that and participates and casts a vote MUST be abandoned by the GOP base and have their political career ended. Please deliver this message to every Republican Senator.
If the object is to thwart any Trump revival, then the impeachment serves its purpose.
But there’s no way this should be happening.
So much wrong with our govt.
There is no way on this Earth that the Senate of the United States of America can thwart a Trump revival. This will fail like all the other impeachments and any other future impeachments. The Senate is basically insane with fear because Donald Trump has the goods on all of them. Very few have to worry, but many, many do have to worry. It’s becoming clearer each day who they are.
90 days or less from now Trump will be President again. The Military is with him. Something major that would have damaged citizens is all that prevented them from closing the jaws of the trap on 1/20/21. I the Military resolves this something, there will be hell to pay for all the criminals.
Dems are already trying to classify Trump rallies as domestic terrorism. Normally I would not put much stock in that but it appears there is no normal anymore.
Ackman, Trump has already BEEN impeached. It has happened. Whether or not the senate finds him guilty of the charges is totally irrelevant.
Nothing these idiots in the government do can stop the revival of Donald J, Trump if he wants it to happen. That’s totally up to him. His supporters don’t care what they do. We are there for him whatever. He is beloved and the government is reviled.
I would actually find their clown show amusing if the world wasn’t watching and laughing at us for our stupidity.

What this is really about… is the Democrat/Socialist/Marxist/Communists in charge now WANT TO INCITE 80+ MILLION AMERICANS to slit their throats. Their goading us for all they’re worth. THEY WANT A CIVIL WAR because they want to throw the book at us for supporting Trump who RIPPED THE COVERS OFF THEIR EVIL SCHEMES!!!!! We now know all about their greedy, greasy, backroom deals. We’re sick of them and we aren’t going to take it any more.
“The Senate has no right to act as a judiciary body to try a private citizen, only to remove someone’s hands from power. And most certainly the Senate was never given the power by the People to tell them they may not elect this private citizen if they so choose.
To hold this trial would be to undo the protection the Framers had set in place in their careful recrafting of impeachment. It would usurp a power that was never delegated to Congress by the Constitution by trying a private citizen before the Legislature and, without benefit of judge or jury, to deprive him and the People of their rights.” (Source: Rabbi Klatzkin, PHD)
Since President Trump is now an ordinary citizen not presently holding office, this trial shouldn’t be allowed to proceed.
They are going for a total reset. You think we will get back to normal. Think again. They took over, the radicals are in charge, this is the new normal and they will always be in charge.

this Impeachment is just to provoke us so we can be punished further
for daring to support him.
best thing is radio silence and act like it doesn’t exist
Agree. They are abusing Trump to ruin him and whip us into a frenzy and then use us for target practice. Disengagement is our smartest move right now. It would be foolish to be drawn into their trap. Remember and learm from Jan 6th.
So, that seems like what sorta happened with Hitler’s rise. Why would we be silent? Those that can be silenced can also be controlled. That is what they are after.

Disengage anyway, unless you have some pressing need. The disappearance of 500,000 registered Republicans will send a message about the oblivion they are headed into. And with the purge coming, you don’t need your name out there for some potential employer to find.
Troublemaker, I saw ‘little Marco’ on OAN this morning he was ranting about XIden’s EOs were causing the loss of all the jobs, and we had to stop him by getting control of the house & senate. And so they’ve started. I hope people won’t fall for the ole playbook this time. I wish someone had asked him, that if the republicans in congress had supported The President from the beginning, in all probability we wouldn’t have this problem.
Send money & votes and we will stop this is all they can say. Every one of the republican senators is to blame and we need to let them know WE KNOW.
Yes, I really don’t think they can take that away. I believe the only punishment congress can render is removal from office and from holding office again.

I would wholeheartedly donate to President Trump’s legal defense so he can hire the best and brightest legal team expose the whole election fraud and show the whole world the whole TRUTH and nothing but the TRUTH during this impeachment trial. If 74 million of us who voted for President Trump could contribute even just a $1 a month each, he would have a formidable defense fund. It’s the least we can do to a man who has given up so much for us.
we should be donating / pooling together to buy up billboards on highways across the country
to ridicule them non stop.
would love to see a billboard on the NJ turnpike
mocking them for
ruining women’s sports
blood for oil
abusing our laws
late term abortions
open borders
expensive Ice Cream ruins dentures
stealing elections (Ruby and kin could be a billboard star!)
selling out to China
the list is endless
just make sure it is brutal and insulting and demeaning
also we could start a sticker campaign in the same vein
slap them every where!
big tech isn’t needed to fight a propaganda war.
they should see the brutal truth slapped in their face every day
just not where they would expect to see it!
who needs the lamestream to reach a message to people??
in the next few days in the presidential thread
I’m going to ask the brain power here for anti Demonrat slogans
for stickers (even vulgar ones, don’t hold back! no more Mr. nice guy!)
I will start saving up a list of the best ones and post it up here
from time to time
making up 250 stickers is cheap
set a goal for a certain amount each week/month
hopefully if we can get some people aboard across the country
it could take off
maybe start a crowdfund for out of the box non msm advertising??
our message must get out and nobody will do it
for us but ourselves
the message needs to be out of their reach/control
use your imagination for placement
gotta start somewhere
I have a big mouth and that will make me a easy target for them
I think I figured how I can keep running my trap
without them knowing where it came from!
they have the lid on the box right now and are sitting on the top
we need to get outside it.
If there is a way to donate, there needs to be a way for donors to tell President Trump not to hire any swamp lawyers recommended by RINOs like Lindsey Graham.

Impeachment is working magnificently. Everybody has moved on from the stolen election.
Absolutely pathetic.
CJ Roberts can end this TOMORROW by stating in writing the Constitution does NOT allow the Senate to “try” a private citizen and such an attempted trial is illegal.
What is happening with Marjorie Taylor Greene? I thought she was drafting articles of impeachment. They will not go through but she should proceed regardless.
The United States Constitution forbids legislative bills of attainder: in federal law under Article I, Section 9, and in state law under Article I, Section 10. The fact that they were banned even under state law reflects the importance that the Framers attached to this issue.
Within the U.S. Constitution, the clauses forbidding attainder laws serve two purposes. First, they reinforced the separation of powers, by forbidding the legislature to perform judicial or executive functions—since the outcome of any such acts of legislature would of necessity take the form of a bill of attainder. Second, they embody the concept of due process, which was partially reinforced by the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution. The text of the Constitution, Article I, Section 9, Clause 3 is “No Bill of Attainder or ex post facto Law shall be passed”.
Went through this last time…impeachment is NOT a Bill, it is not LAW, it is not an ACT. It is a legislative process performed by rules set by the House and Senate per their allocated authority under the constitution. The Bill of Attainder argument is BS.

Absolutely agree, Kleen! “The Constitution says, the Constitution says, the Constitution says…” so sick and tired of people saying this when it is obvious that the Uniparty doesn’t give a rat’s ass about what the Constitution says!

They try to impeach him because they know he is still President and they know that the Military is with him.
There was a purpose to the 8 year purge and loyalty oaths while Obama was in power, which impacted the leadership Colonel and above.
The is an old saying by world historians and anthropologists that a military often reflects its society. Remember the major portion of the rank and file are products of the indoctrination by our current education system. The large majority of the officer is ROTC and judging by the content Academy blogs, even the products of the once conservative Military Academies are suspect.
The major issue with the military is if they will tolerate the abuse by the democrats. Of note is a conversation with the husband of one of my nieces, who is an Army Recruiter. He has been hitting his quotas thanks to China Virus being used to wreck the economy, some things never change. Based on his 15 years, there is a quality gap from just 10 years ago.
The fact Trump did not use the military at the end tells me who owned the Troops.

The President can appoint a new chief Justice. The hearing process and vote counting is done similar to the blueprint laid out by Shanghai Mitch for all the fauz Federal Judges he approved. Can anybody say nuclear option…hmmm.
The media spins it 24/7 that Roberts is bad…plus Sleepy Joe gets another first, first women Chief Justice by appointing Sotomayor. This was all part of the plan and Roberts as well as Shanghai Mitch knew this was coming.
The “Smart Latina” will preside over the hearing with pleasue in honor of the mummy, RBG.
They have 2-weeks to appoint a new Chief Justice. How fast was Shangahi Mitch cranking out Judges??
A new Chief Justice is likely the real objective of this exercise, an impeachment conviction of Donal Trump would be a bonus. That gives the Puppet Masters and Democrats total control over the apparatus that makes the administrative rules for the operation of ALL 3-branches of government.
We had that discussion here on CTH a few times with respect to Congress. The most important committees in both Chambers of the Congress are the RULES Committees.
I was not aware that a president can change the chief justice. Just did a search & according to Wikipedia, I don’t see how what you say can happen unless John Roberts is removed from the bench
The chief justice, like all federal judges, is nominated by the president and confirmed to office by the U.S. Senate. Article III, Section 1 of the Constitution specifies that they “shall hold their Offices during good Behavior.” This language means that the appointments are effectively for life and that once in office, a justice’s tenure ends only when the justice dies, retires, resigns, or is removed from office through the impeachment process.

Based on how they are coming after us with the domestic terrorism excuse, based on how they’re targeting Parler, Trump…
I don’t see any classic, traditional solution.
Different times. This is tyranny, they are unleashing the full power of the US gov after their opposition. They labeled us domestic terrorists.
They will round us up before they allow us to regroup and organize to try to vote them out. They won’t allow it. They will unleash the most sophisticate surveillance program against us, we will be watched 24/7 and they will do to us what they did to Flynn, PapaD, Roger Stone…
This won’t solve itself and we can match their power.
Unless our military turns against them I don’t see how we get out of this one. I just don’t

Impeach PDJT every February for the remainder of the decade to be tried for every type of incident that floats through democrat pea brains. It would give a whole new meaning to the term Black History Month.
Let the healing begin.
Apparently speculation is that Roberts will not be in attendance. SCOTUS only presides when a President is under trial. Trump is no longer President. I would suggest Trumps legal team may question the legitimacy of the senate trying a private citizen
President of the Senate will then preside over the proceedings?
Here come daJudge… Harris.
Still, they will need 17 republicrats to convict.
Which McChina will provide for some small favor.
Will she be wearing her kneepads?
Nope, there is no precedence and the Senate has no power to convict a former President that is now a private citizen. The entire charade is extralegal. Any role Shumer gives Harris is meaningless and again, extralegal. If dems are allowed to get away with this, even if they don’t convict, it sets a terrible precedent and gives the Senate power they do not and should not have. In fact Shumer needs to be censured at the least for ignoring the Constitution. It must be stopped before the dems are allowed to pull off just another hoax on the Country. If the dems are allowed to continue to accrue power outside the Constitution there will be no stopping them from destroying it.
Harris is not even a legitimate vice president because she is not a natural born citizen. The more the dems are allowed to ignore the Constitution, the weaker the Constitution becomes and the more our rule of law foundation crumbles.
And I (many of us) said the same thing about the FIRST impeachment, in fact about everything they have tried to do against Trump, and everything they have tried to do against the American people, at every level of “law enforcement”. They are lawless; it’s what they do.
Dems do whatever the hell they want. The real play here is DC STATEHOOD which will soon be on Biden’s desk. Unbelievable to watch this play out.
Can’t be an impeachment trial w/o the CJ, and so would be an unconstitutional Bill of Attainder.
Precisely, Raintree.
The Constitution specifies that it must be the Chief Justice. If the Chief Justice does not show, it is not a constitutionally valid impeachment trial. Even if the Chief Justice appears, the Constitution does not allow the Senate to issue a verdict for an individual who is not a current officeholder.
The House and Senate, had they wished to proceed against “The President” had until Jan 20, 2021 to deliver a verdict. They did not do so, so guess what? The Senate now has no legal standing to issue any verdict of an ex-president. You could also call it ‘laches’ for failure to bring a claim while the President was still in office.
Under our Constitution, the impeachment clause grants jurisdiction regarding current office holders, not former ones. If a violation of law occurred with evidence to prove it, the case would be referred to DOJ.
However, the very words of the President to march to the Capitol building ” peacefully” would (should ) preclude any charges ever being filed by DOJ, but then again, DOJ is politicized more now than at any other time. Most of the shame belongs to William Barr who saw it and did nothing.
Conviction was never the goal anyway. Just more orange man bad fodder for the Pravda media.
I cannot stomach these people any longer. These so “righteous” people, constantly stand in judgement of President Trump, as they proceed to do whatever they wish, the Constitution be damned.
Words never truer spoken
They do not care about our Constitution. They will do it anyway, that is what happens in a totalitarian one party state.
Impeachment is a political matter, not a legal matter. No DOJ involvement.
Barr is a coward. A spineless moral turd. I had grave reservations about him from day one, but (like Mitch McConnell) he was good at making constitutional noises.
When it was announced that Durham’s probe release was delayed until after the election I knew the fix was in.
Agreed but the dems don’t care.
Maybe, but I suspect Roberts will not be able to resist hurting Trump.
I wonder what Trump knows about their secrets?
He MUST know after 4 years as POTUS
Flynn too
Let the false Messiah(s) jump from the high place, and not be able to fly after all…
That’s a thought…get them into a situation where we can say, “Can you fly, sucker?” (Just a thought…)
they lost their damn minds
Drogers, you’re just now noticing? 🙂
No, they “won.” And the GOPe is scurrying.
They didn’t win, and the GOPe is complicit in all they do.
I believe these evils are going to impeach our President. That is why they are calling for more troops, to “protect” the senators voting.
The House has already Impeached (charged) him. The House of Horrors voted to impeach without any hearings or due process, on a “crime” that the President did not commit.
The Senate Trial is to determine acquital or guilt, punishment upon finding of guilt is removal from office AND no longer eligible to hold office. How can a person who no longer holds office be removed from said office – maybe they meant to impeach China Joe and bring him to trial? /s.
Additionally, per the Constitution, the officer who presides over the Trial is the Chief Justice, period.
These people have delegitimized themselves.
Has justice Roberts said he will not preside over the proceedings? He just sits there.
How hard could it be?
A Moderate Man ~
you kinda answered your own question … ahhh, it’s justice Roberts so ahhh, really hard
Can’t lose what you don’t already have.

apologies, my fat fingers may have flagged comment
I read a comment like this, and I am always reminded of Daffy Duck ranting to Bugs Bunny, for thwarting him yet again, “You’re des-pic-able!”
Leftists are not going to quit attacking America until they achieve their ideological goal.
They are zealots… nothing will get in their way to achieve a single state country that lavishes the riches of our once prosperous nation on the chosen few.
as a matter of not to distant fact, i shuffle off this mortal coil leaving that good fight to younger others
boy and man i stood toe to toe never giving an inch. my heart knows another Patriot waits in the wings to take our place
they won’t win; i, you, and them will stop it
I am cursed Drogers… I live in a blue city in a blue state. I see the corrosive force leftism becomes… whole infrastructures and standards of living fall apart but, some how, the chosen ones get attention and are lavished with “programs for help” funded by taxpayer money.
Politicians never ask what the taxpayer can expect in return?
The Red States need more Constitution loving Americans. I know a move could be extremely hard, but we are in hard times.
Well when they have no one else to attack,they will turn on themselves.
They are going to lose alot more than their damn minds if they don’t wise up… then again…go ahead and ‘overreach’ again demonrats……
This is what happens when you take drug’s while watching repeat’s of groundhog day, so yes their collective mind is frazzled.
Unity? Seriously? Pray for President Trump and the Country
What unity can light have with darkness.
Cause nothing says “UNITY” more than conducting an illegal show trial of the guy whom you cheated out of his victory! Especially since he didn’t expose all of your crap on the way out for all the world to see because he cared more about preserving the country than about getting revenge…
Chuck you and the horse you rode in on Schumer!!

These people are horrid.
Lefties are horrid.. they will ruin our country in pursuit of social justice…honestly they are just getting started.
Oh, wow… you’re right, “to beat”… I must’ve been thinking about SOME OTHER Tweet, or maybe it was the WaPoOpEd calling for IMMEDIATE IMPEACHMENT as of Inauguration Day 2017.
They can’t destroy 74 million of us!
They’re doing a damn good job at trying to.
We need a people’s army.
We could start by surrounding the pipeline so it can keep going. Some of the 71 million there and some down at the Gulf to watch drilling continue.
Why are we even listening to Dear Leader for the CCP of the Americas?
Was JUST thinking this same thing… they’ve already started, and they’re not pitter-pattering around. I don’t think they’ll ultimately succeed, at the end of the day… but they’re going to Slash ‘N Burn til they can’t Slash ‘N Burn no more.
They will try.

NEW: Press Sec. Psaki announces Biden admin. efforts to combat domestic violent extremism:
• DNI to oversee a “comprehensive threat assessment”
• “Build NSC capability” to counter extremism, disrupt extremist networks
• Coordination among federal depts. on evolving threats
In other words, monitor and compile surveillance files on all non-Democrats
The best part…
https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/535438-white-house-launches-sweeping-review-of-domestic-terror-threats
There are concerns in some quarters that the riot will be used as justification to limit constitutionally protected political speech. The latest Harvard CAPS-Harris survey found that 60 percent of Americans said they were worried the siege on the Capitol would be used as an excuse to curb civil rights.
Psaki said the administration’s efforts would be done with “respect for constitutionally protected free speech and political activities.”
Don’t bullshit me, Jen Psaki. We’ve been down this road before, and we know how it ends. Like… you know… HOW IT ENDS IS A MATTER OF PUBLIC RECORD.
And let me just say: there’s nobody in a position of authority — ESPECIALLY CONGRESS — who will “save” us from that Hell On Earth that The Left is cooking up. Sssoooo… let’s just say it ultimately won’t end well.
You know you are no longer free when you government points the policing and military assets at its internal population rather than the threats beyond its boarders!
I like your optimism!
Even thought Communism has killed over 100million in the 20th century
So I wonder, if our founders thought that way they would have never fought the British Empire. They were bigger and more powerful, and yet they bit their as$es. If you think small you’ll be squash. 74/100 million heavily arm and thinking they stand no chance. It’s a cowardly thinking IMHO.
Mao did! Also around 70 million. Just curious how many Senators and house members have a picture of Mao in their office?
100 million
unfortunately Amy they can destroy 74 million of us.
Leftists are blinded by social justice… they hate us.
They can if the Uniparty allows it. You think they are not on their way to declaring us domestic terrorists? Dlems have declared war. Republicans are in full retreat.
I agree with you, but the problem lies with the 74 million people that thinks that they are less powerful than 435 people.
Yes! A good primer for understanding the desperation of Dems is to watch the great horror classic, The Blob.
Well guess what,that will never happen.This is not the hunger games fantasy.
We will be waiting a long time for the new sentiment “lagom” to infiltrate the DC political drama. Vikingmom, thanks for the wise advice 🙂
Excellent cat picture…add your own caption…
The GOP’s very existence as a political party is already teetering on the edge…c’mon, Mitch—I DARE you.
I want our new party to promise impeachment for everyone who wasted our time on this for their OTHER real crimes in the House and Senate AND the ex presidents.
#EyeforanEyeImpeachments
Unlike Dems we have real issues, but they threaten us daily and it’s all to throw us off the scent of their crimes. We cannot let that continue.
Let them know there are consequences to political persecution
I don’t think they realize it. Look at Fox News and what happened to the Tour de France after Armstrong was exposed. (Or they they really don’t need the votes either.)
Problem is, Fox only lost half their audience.
One have to be a masochist to to stick around the GOP.
Barf…. They make me sick.
Tiresome.
“Democrats float 14th Amendment to bar Trump from office”
https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/535467-democrats-float-14th-amendment-to-bar-trump-from-office
The 14th Amendment jumped into the national discussion in the wake of the Capitol attack, in addition to impeachment and talk of invoking the 25th Amendment, an idea rejected by then-Vice President Pence.
Must be a couple more Amendments floating around that they can try… or just make a new one.
They are going to try the 5th Dimension next.
A time machine might do it.
Up, up and away?!
Thanks for a much needed chuckle Magamung.
We’ll have to start doing the same.
Right now they have a press and big tech that cover up their crimes. There is zero reason that should continue.
There is no reason such lawlessness and persecution cannot be confronted.
They are never held to account. We just put our heads down and hope that someday it will all be okay.
Jealousy and envy will be on full display all because Trump had the temerity to showcase his talent to turn the country around so easily, expose the hoax of the “new normal” while highlighting the ineptitude and greed of the corrupt Swamp.
Screwmer, Pelosi, and McConnell are livid of the crowds Trump drew. They couldn’t fill a sandbox.
The Swamp’s ineptitude will be on full display.
I hope DJT considers defending himself in person at the trial.
don’t think he should go anywhere near the place
the temptation is outrage. Don’t fall for it. Laugh at them.
PDJT should have a small child go to the Senate and as his defense read:
I think they are saying that because President Trump questioned the results of the election it led to the actions of the 6th. President Trumps attorneys better have video of the capital hill police escorting those people into the capital and right up the stairs to the senate chamber. The video of the cops standing around while a Trump supporter ask them why they are not doing anything and not calling back up. They need to float the idea this was preplanned because Omar didn’t write articles of impeachment while she was hiding under her desk, that they were written in advance because the “siege” was planned and congress was in on it.p along with the capital hills police.
They can say that all they want. He has every right to question the election results – if this is their argument, it is absolute nonsense.
75M of us question the results of the election.
Perfect!
Out new battle cry must be “we will not comply.” States must work together to sue Bi Den on every one of his moves. Lawfare times 100. Some small court in any state should shut the move down countrywide.
IMO there should not even be a Trump lawyer there to give any credence to what amounts to a FASCIST FARCE.
Was Smucky the only Dem to get an erection out of the thought of impeachment ? Were Nanzi’s legs shaking ?
Oh Chuckie gets a woody every time Trump opens his mouth. Nanzi Piglousy is so old and pickled that she can’t get excited by anything, but a Vodka bottle.
Nancy Pelosi is demon possessed.
He should go in there and say “Do I make you randy Chuckie?”
littleredmachine, heavens no he shouldn’t go near the Capitol. Nanci would probably have the Sargent At Arms arrest him. She’s just that crazy. I have read that somewhere in the bowels of the Capitol there is a jail cell leftover from the early days.
Freudian slip? Does Schumer switch hit?
And when he enters he makes a big show of it. Like Elvis entering an arena prior to a show.
Why so Nancy or Chucky can scream for the sergeant at arms to arrest him?
He should just respond with ‘I’m a private Citizen now your actions are not constitutional, not that you all have ever cared a day about our constitution.’
They will cut the defense short and not allow evidence they don’t want to see.
Chuckie seems way too excited to do this. It seems like it is really hard for him to let it go.
Election erection insurrection.
HA. I see what you did there.
Circus interruptus
President Trump will be Regan’d if he goes in that area.
The Left are predictable – they do nothing but tell stories – IF you watch their Trailer you know the movie.
The truth is still the truth when no one believes it. A lie is still a lie when everyone believes it.
True, but if no one is listening then the truth cannot be heard.
The facts don’t matter. The Senators should just vote on the first day and get it over with.
Plain and simple-this is unconstitutional. Art 2 Section 4.
B-I-L-L
O-F
A-T-T-A-I-N-D-E-R
Yep, precisely so. No longer matters, just like my vote. Our Constitution has long been shredded. These Communists intend to do as they will because they no longer fear the people.
Nasty Nancy didn’t tear up President Trumps speech at the last SOTU it was the constitution. Who knew?
Did Dark Ages Chuck Schumer’s direct ancestors also try Galileo, Joan of Ark and Jesus Christ as dangerous heretics?
Bring it!
No where to run, no where to hide republicans.
The left are perpetually angry.
The word ‘happiness’ is not in their vocabulary.
Give them everything they want. Nope, not enough.
Nothing will ever change this. It’s an incurable mental disease.
Senate can’t conduct trials of of private citizens and then impose penalties on them, such as prohibiting them from holding office. It’s an odd, mutant version of a bill of attainder and is specifically prohibited and unconstitutional under Article I section 9. The Senate can remove a sitting President and THEN bar, but once out of office the Senate has no jurisdiction to conduct a “trial” of private citizen Trump.
Then sue them. We have seen the result of doing as they say and trusting they act in goo well.
Good will….but goo is more accurate!
trapper, common sense and The Constitution would dictate that, but Nannie Nanci has her own rules. What I find astounding is she gets away with it. No one in three branches of government stands up to her. It seems to me, she is really running the government.
One congresswoman from one district from the state of California runs the country. It’s simply astounding.
The last few months the Dems lied, committed crimes, fraud, stole the election and installed with the help of the Republicans, an illegal President.
Does anyone here at CTH PUT ANYTHING PAST THEM NOW? Please do not act surprised Treepers. We are in an open totalitarian regime. DC Statehood in a few weeks? You bet! They are now going to institutionalize their lies. Even if we vote, terrorists can’t vote, remember? No voting machines they still win. More immigrants, a permanent underclass, who support their masters. Try to get them out, at least in Wyoming Cheney will be primaries and kicked out. Others as well. That gives me solace.
Don’t lose focus. All of the RINOs need to be tossed out of our party. Make a list of those who go along with this sh22 show. Primary them. Get rid of them. We got this. 75 million of us are on board for the fight.
go 4 it
I agree, but I think we need to go deeper than that. Rebuild the party from the ground up from the precinct level up.
Start here to try to find how to get involved at your own local level. I think most of the party at the local level will be up for new elections starting now!

so cross fire hurricane on steroids and instead of looking at the president it will be looking at all of his supporters.
The Gestapo and NKVD would be so jealous of the tools that are at our governments hands or should I say at the Uniparties hands…..
Better yet, make a list of those senators that do not go to the microphones with their prepared speeches about the unconstitutionality of this proposed impeachment trial. Congress had its opportunity while the President was in office. They blew it, and now have no standing to try or sentence a private citizen.
Once again…who is counting the votes?
This is impeachment is unconstitutional. Evert Republican Senator MUST walk out of the proceedings and not participate. Every Republican who does not do that and participates and casts a vote MUST be abandoned by the GOP base and have their political career ended. Please deliver this message to every Republican Senator.
Why would any Politician worry about being voted out? As long he does what he is told to do wouldn’t rigged voting machines keep him or her in office?
Absolutely!
If the object is to thwart any Trump revival, then the impeachment serves its purpose.
But there’s no way this should be happening.
So much wrong with our govt.
There is no way on this Earth that the Senate of the United States of America can thwart a Trump revival. This will fail like all the other impeachments and any other future impeachments. The Senate is basically insane with fear because Donald Trump has the goods on all of them. Very few have to worry, but many, many do have to worry. It’s becoming clearer each day who they are.
90 days or less from now Trump will be President again. The Military is with him. Something major that would have damaged citizens is all that prevented them from closing the jaws of the trap on 1/20/21. I the Military resolves this something, there will be hell to pay for all the criminals.
If not I
I think you under estimate the damage that Obama did to the command structure of our military.
Dems are already trying to classify Trump rallies as domestic terrorism. Normally I would not put much stock in that but it appears there is no normal anymore.
Ackman, Trump has already BEEN impeached. It has happened. Whether or not the senate finds him guilty of the charges is totally irrelevant.
Nothing these idiots in the government do can stop the revival of Donald J, Trump if he wants it to happen. That’s totally up to him. His supporters don’t care what they do. We are there for him whatever. He is beloved and the government is reviled.
I would actually find their clown show amusing if the world wasn’t watching and laughing at us for our stupidity.
The media will bill this as the trial of the century.
What this is really about… is the Democrat/Socialist/Marxist/Communists in charge now WANT TO INCITE 80+ MILLION AMERICANS to slit their throats. Their goading us for all they’re worth. THEY WANT A CIVIL WAR because they want to throw the book at us for supporting Trump who RIPPED THE COVERS OFF THEIR EVIL SCHEMES!!!!! We now know all about their greedy, greasy, backroom deals. We’re sick of them and we aren’t going to take it any more.
GO AHEAD AND MAKE OUR DAY.
Where is their Army?
The army we once had now takes orders from the democrat party fascists, so it is now their army.
I don’t think that is true.
Sleeping on the floor of a parking garage.
“The Senate has no right to act as a judiciary body to try a private citizen, only to remove someone’s hands from power. And most certainly the Senate was never given the power by the People to tell them they may not elect this private citizen if they so choose.
To hold this trial would be to undo the protection the Framers had set in place in their careful recrafting of impeachment. It would usurp a power that was never delegated to Congress by the Constitution by trying a private citizen before the Legislature and, without benefit of judge or jury, to deprive him and the People of their rights.” (Source: Rabbi Klatzkin, PHD)
Since President Trump is now an ordinary citizen not presently holding office, this trial shouldn’t be allowed to proceed.
They are going for a total reset. You think we will get back to normal. Think again. They took over, the radicals are in charge, this is the new normal and they will always be in charge.
These people are desperate to provoke a Civil War.
Madness.
Oldersoul: Or, desperate for a way to stop the one they already started.
That’s fine Chuck. President Trump can do plenty of damage to you heading up the Patriot Party. We don’t need no stinkin’ unity.
The President of the United States is a result of voter rigged voting machines. If it can be done for the President of the United States what’s to keep it from being done for anyone running for any office requiring votes?
If they don’t send their military after us and round us up first…
The Middle Ages in Europe: You are a heretic!
17th Century Salem, Mass: You are a witch!
21st century American Senate: You are Trump!
Has humanity made any progress in the last several hundred years? To look at today’s Senate, you would never know it.
I think Trump will never hold public office again
they have the elections in the bag and in their control
this Impeachment is just to provoke us so we can be punished further
for daring to support him.
best thing is radio silence and act like it doesn’t exist
Agree. They are abusing Trump to ruin him and whip us into a frenzy and then use us for target practice. Disengagement is our smartest move right now. It would be foolish to be drawn into their trap. Remember and learm from Jan 6th.
We need peaceful engagement, force them into another Boston Massacre type event that shows the fangs of the state against it’s own citizens.
So, that seems like what sorta happened with Hitler’s rise. Why would we be silent? Those that can be silenced can also be controlled. That is what they are after.
What if they gave an impeachment and nobody came ?
I didn’t watch a single minute of the last one, lack of complete interest, but was transfixed by Watergate.
Kevin McCarthy must be getting an earful because he was just on air defending that Trump did not incite violence…
After saying he was partially responsible just last week.
I hate these political creatures.
I left a message for McConnell that if a single Republican votes to impeach I will fully disengage from the GOP.
Too little and too late for McCarthy.
He showed who he is. I never had much hope for him in the first place, but he sure stepped in it……..big time.
Way too little. Way too late!
Agreed, he is an oily guy isn’t he?
too little too late for the majority of them, they don’t know it yet though……they are too busy being legends in their own mind…
Yeah, we heard him the first time. Besides he still supports Lizzy for remaining chair of the republican caucus.
oh why on god’s green earth are you still engaged with them now???
Disengage anyway, unless you have some pressing need. The disappearance of 500,000 registered Republicans will send a message about the oblivion they are headed into. And with the purge coming, you don’t need your name out there for some potential employer to find.
except they will spin it as see what Trump did.
Show up more express your support of the Trump Doctrine and of the man.
Don’t turn tail and run and let them keep the party without a fight.
I agree don’t send money and tell them why
You should have already disengaged from that commie party. What the heck have they done for us in the past 60 years?
NOTHING BUT SCREW US!!!!!!!
Troublemaker, I saw ‘little Marco’ on OAN this morning he was ranting about XIden’s EOs were causing the loss of all the jobs, and we had to stop him by getting control of the house & senate. And so they’ve started. I hope people won’t fall for the ole playbook this time. I wish someone had asked him, that if the republicans in congress had supported The President from the beginning, in all probability we wouldn’t have this problem.
Send money & votes and we will stop this is all they can say. Every one of the republican senators is to blame and we need to let them know WE KNOW.
Does Trump still have security clearance?
He no longer has the nuclear football.
Does Biden?
He does, and the Military is loyal to him. We have 2 Presidents right now for the 1st time in our history.
Biden was sworn in as president before noon.
How is that legally allowed when President Trump’s term was still minutes away from expiring?
yes, probably inactive is all…they just mothball it if he has no need to know……
Yes, I really don’t think they can take that away. I believe the only punishment congress can render is removal from office and from holding office again.
I would wholeheartedly donate to President Trump’s legal defense so he can hire the best and brightest legal team expose the whole election fraud and show the whole world the whole TRUTH and nothing but the TRUTH during this impeachment trial. If 74 million of us who voted for President Trump could contribute even just a $1 a month each, he would have a formidable defense fund. It’s the least we can do to a man who has given up so much for us.
we should be donating / pooling together to buy up billboards on highways across the country
to ridicule them non stop.
would love to see a billboard on the NJ turnpike
mocking them for
ruining women’s sports
blood for oil
abusing our laws
late term abortions
open borders
expensive Ice Cream ruins dentures
stealing elections (Ruby and kin could be a billboard star!)
selling out to China
the list is endless
just make sure it is brutal and insulting and demeaning
also we could start a sticker campaign in the same vein
slap them every where!
big tech isn’t needed to fight a propaganda war.
they should see the brutal truth slapped in their face every day
just not where they would expect to see it!
who needs the lamestream to reach a message to people??
Let’s do it – it’s a good idea – I’ll donate to that.
It probably won’t do any good in my commie State of MA, but let’s do it where it can be effective.
in the next few days in the presidential thread
I’m going to ask the brain power here for anti Demonrat slogans
for stickers (even vulgar ones, don’t hold back! no more Mr. nice guy!)
I will start saving up a list of the best ones and post it up here
from time to time
making up 250 stickers is cheap
set a goal for a certain amount each week/month
hopefully if we can get some people aboard across the country
it could take off
maybe start a crowdfund for out of the box non msm advertising??
our message must get out and nobody will do it
for us but ourselves
the message needs to be out of their reach/control
use your imagination for placement
gotta start somewhere
I have a big mouth and that will make me a easy target for them
I think I figured how I can keep running my trap
without them knowing where it came from!
they have the lid on the box right now and are sitting on the top
we need to get outside it.
95 to 100 million, not 74 million
If there is a way to donate, there needs to be a way for donors to tell President Trump not to hire any swamp lawyers recommended by RINOs like Lindsey Graham.
Impeachment is working magnificently. Everybody has moved on from the stolen election.
Absolutely pathetic.
I don’t think the Dems have moved on. They know what they did. They know that we know. That’s why they are trying this stupid impeachment thing again.
its just a shiny object that they are waving in our face to distract
keep an eye on the hand behind the back.
Bill of attainder. Unlawful
Apparently not in Dark Ages America.
CJ Roberts can end this TOMORROW by stating in writing the Constitution does NOT allow the Senate to “try” a private citizen and such an attempted trial is illegal.
PARTY OVER. Next topic?
Would require a court that backs the Constitution.
You’re right. Stupid me…………….
They need to impeach Biden!
What is happening with Marjorie Taylor Greene? I thought she was drafting articles of impeachment. They will not go through but she should proceed regardless.
Looks like she filed them Thursday
The United States Constitution forbids legislative bills of attainder: in federal law under Article I, Section 9, and in state law under Article I, Section 10. The fact that they were banned even under state law reflects the importance that the Framers attached to this issue.
Within the U.S. Constitution, the clauses forbidding attainder laws serve two purposes. First, they reinforced the separation of powers, by forbidding the legislature to perform judicial or executive functions—since the outcome of any such acts of legislature would of necessity take the form of a bill of attainder. Second, they embody the concept of due process, which was partially reinforced by the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution. The text of the Constitution, Article I, Section 9, Clause 3 is “No Bill of Attainder or ex post facto Law shall be passed”.
They could careless about the constitution. They make the rules. It is what they say it is.
Went through this last time…impeachment is NOT a Bill, it is not LAW, it is not an ACT. It is a legislative process performed by rules set by the House and Senate per their allocated authority under the constitution. The Bill of Attainder argument is BS.
Everytime I see Schumer’s picture it makes me want to throw up ?
He’s the penguin to President Trump’s Batman.
the image of Shumer reminds me of a painful Bowel movement
He’s right – healing and unity will only come about when there is TRUTH!
Please explain, Constitutionally, how a private citizen can be impeached.
Get over what it used to be. Radicals are in charge, these are new rules, they make the rules, period. It is what they say it is.
Don’t confuse their minions. They lack critical thinking skills, which explains their chronic ignorance.
They can’t be. And, does the Senate now claim the right to bring ANY Private Citizen to a Show Trial for some misdeed that the House of Horrors can drum up?

c’mon…it’s all a dog and pony show to keep bidementia in the white house basement away from the media attention. they’ll never be happy because trump had them by the short hairs for four years…
Ds, know they don’t need to work for us, they just place themselves into power and do what they want. So what we don’t like it?
They are not worried about the constitution, they are not going back to what it used be. They are setting new rules because they know they will always be in charge.
This country is gone.
The country is not gone. They are pulling this crap because they re scared to death, and rightly so.
Cancel cable!!!!
There’s no show without an audience.
My TV hasn’t been turned on since oct of 2019
woo hooo
I’m not a racist anymore!!
First thing:
Stop trying to reason this and forget about bringing up the constitution. Hello? Have you seen what has been happening for the last 5 years?
Why do people still try to reason and look for the legality and right and wrong.
Folks, these people are totalitarians and they have absolute power.
They have the best surveillance in the world, the most powerful military. All at their disposal.
Absolutely agree, Kleen! “The Constitution says, the Constitution says, the Constitution says…” so sick and tired of people saying this when it is obvious that the Uniparty doesn’t give a rat’s ass about what the Constitution says! They have no intention of following what the Constitution says, and this should be evident by the total lack of integrity of anybody in the Uniparty in trying to get out the truth about the 2020 election fraud. Schitmer said that they have every which way to Sunday to screw us. And they will.
elections and the constitution are heading toward being distant memories
I have already moved past either as helping the cause
they also own the message and messenger
we need to take the message to people in out of the box ways
normal channels will not work.
Sundances post it note idea (which is great) needs to be taken much further
win the message battle and the tide might start turn against them.
this it will fix it the next election bullshit is getting old
people still don’t grasp
THEY ARE FIXED!!!
HOW DO YOU WIN A FIXED GAME???
the constitution not being followed crap is getting old
THEY DO THAT WITHOUT REPERCUSSIONS
WAKE UP THAT PAPER HAS BEEN RENDERED WORTHLESS
how many years have we been watching these things not work for us??
oh but it will be different next time… LMAO SMH
the sure way to failure is keep repeating what doesn’t work.
we need to start thinking outside the box !
They try to impeach him because they know he is still President and they know that the Military is with him.
Whoever thinks the military is with Trump sure forgot to tell the Pentagon.
There was a purpose to the 8 year purge and loyalty oaths while Obama was in power, which impacted the leadership Colonel and above.
The is an old saying by world historians and anthropologists that a military often reflects its society. Remember the major portion of the rank and file are products of the indoctrination by our current education system. The large majority of the officer is ROTC and judging by the content Academy blogs, even the products of the once conservative Military Academies are suspect.
The major issue with the military is if they will tolerate the abuse by the democrats. Of note is a conversation with the husband of one of my nieces, who is an Army Recruiter. He has been hitting his quotas thanks to China Virus being used to wreck the economy, some things never change. Based on his 15 years, there is a quality gap from just 10 years ago.
The fact Trump did not use the military at the end tells me who owned the Troops.
The President can appoint a new chief Justice. The hearing process and vote counting is done similar to the blueprint laid out by Shanghai Mitch for all the fauz Federal Judges he approved. Can anybody say nuclear option…hmmm.
The media spins it 24/7 that Roberts is bad…plus Sleepy Joe gets another first, first women Chief Justice by appointing Sotomayor. This was all part of the plan and Roberts as well as Shanghai Mitch knew this was coming.
The “Smart Latina” will preside over the hearing with pleasue in honor of the mummy, RBG.
They have 2-weeks to appoint a new Chief Justice. How fast was Shangahi Mitch cranking out Judges??
A new Chief Justice is likely the real objective of this exercise, an impeachment conviction of Donal Trump would be a bonus. That gives the Puppet Masters and Democrats total control over the apparatus that makes the administrative rules for the operation of ALL 3-branches of government.
We had that discussion here on CTH a few times with respect to Congress. The most important committees in both Chambers of the Congress are the RULES Committees.
I was not aware that a president can change the chief justice. Just did a search & according to Wikipedia, I don’t see how what you say can happen unless John Roberts is removed from the bench
The chief justice, like all federal judges, is nominated by the president and confirmed to office by the U.S. Senate. Article III, Section 1 of the Constitution specifies that they “shall hold their Offices during good Behavior.” This language means that the appointments are effectively for life and that once in office, a justice’s tenure ends only when the justice dies, retires, resigns, or is removed from office through the impeachment process.
Based on how they are coming after us with the domestic terrorism excuse, based on how they’re targeting Parler, Trump…
I don’t see any classic, traditional solution.
Different times. This is tyranny, they are unleashing the full power of the US gov after their opposition. They labeled us domestic terrorists.
They will round us up before they allow us to regroup and organize to try to vote them out. They won’t allow it. They will unleash the most sophisticate surveillance program against us, we will be watched 24/7 and they will do to us what they did to Flynn, PapaD, Roger Stone…
This won’t solve itself and we can match their power.
Unless our military turns against them I don’t see how we get out of this one. I just don’t
A standing army is one of the greatest mischief that can possibly happen. Without standing armies liberty can never be in danger, nor with large ones safe
-James Madison (“The Father of the United States Constitution”)
When a government wishes to deprive its citizens of freedom, and reduce them to slavery, it generally makes use of a standing army.
– Luther Martin, Maryland delegate to the Constitutional Convention
We find ourselves as enemies of the United States Of America. They are coming for us.
We threatened their corruption and they got mad as hell.
It’s one thing to be targeted by Uganda. But USA? The most powerful nation in the world?
Our time here is short, some way shorter than others (Pelosi and Biden are getting up there in age). Before they are cast into the eternal lake of fire, everybody will see everything they did. They will not be getting away with anything they did behind closed doors. Their actions speak volumes. They will not be forgiven.
“For nothing is secret, that shall not be revealed; neither anything hidden, that shall not be known and come to light” Luke 8:17
Was letting Hillary off the hook, legal? No
Was the Russia Hoax legal? No
Was impeachment 1.0 legal and according to procedures? No
Was stealing election legal? No
Then why are some of you still trying to refer to the law, constitution to reason this thing out?
Com on’, man…
Expect another illegal, unfair, revolting circus show. Nothing else.
You have to be crazy to think this time they will be fair and care about the law. CRAZY.
Impeach PDJT every February for the remainder of the decade to be tried for every type of incident that floats through democrat pea brains. It would give a whole new meaning to the term Black History Month.
Allow this should prove to anyone that the good ‘ol U S of A is now officially a tyranny & citizens only have 2 choices, submit or…….???
First chuckle (4:14 am, first comment read). Yes…Black Revenge Month, for Obama.
