Friday afternoon House Speaker Nancy Pelosi confirmed she will be sending an article of impeachment against President Trump to the senate on Monday. Chuck Schumer confirms the senate trial will likely take place next week.
Any GOP Senator who goes along with this insufferably political scheme to target former President Trump will face a primary challenge in their next election. We will ensure.
WASHINGTON DC – […] In a statement later on Friday, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi confirmed the plan and dismissed concerns by Republicans that Trump’s legal team wouldn’t have adequate time.
“The former president will have had the same amount of time to prepare for trial as our Managers,” Pelosi said, referring to her hand-picked team of House Democrats who will essentially serve as prosecutors in the Senate trial.
“The House has been respectful of the Senate’s constitutional power over the trial and always attentive to the fairness of the process,” Pelosi later added in a letter sent to her members, noting that Monday would be a “momentous and solemn day.”
Democrats have not yet offered details on when the trial will begin, but Pelosi’s decision to formally deliver the article of impeachment on Monday means that the Senate trial will likely begin early next week, absent a consent agreement between Schumer and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.
Under Senate rules, an impeachment trial must begin within one day after the House sends its article if the chamber is in session, unless Schumer and McConnell agree to a different timetable. (read more)
The goal of the entire democrat effort is to use Alinsky tactics against President Trump, and make sure he is not able to: run for office again, retain secret service protection. Everything now is about targeting political opposition. It’s all ugly… Big and Ugly.
The Senate is going to hold a moot court? What a fabulous waste of time.
“Any GOP Senator who goes along with this insufferably political scheme to target former President Trump will face a primary challenge in their next election. We will ensure.”
Actually we will also not vote for you in the general election either!!! You either get primaried or you lose to the Dem in the general election. It makes no difference. There will be no more “holding our noses and vote GOP”. There will be no more “The GOP needs to hold the Senate”. There will be no more “The GOP is the lesser of 2 evils”.
NO! NO! NO!
GO AFTER TRUMP- AND WE HAVE TWO CHANCES TO TAKE OUT THE RINOs. WE HAVE THE PRIMARY OR GENERAL TO TAKE YOU OUT!!!
And any RINO apologist who tells me otherwise can put a sock in it!!! Take a hike!
Republican party can go pound sand!
actually I think now this month and next is the time to clean out the party – I think most local party reorganizations take place now
Take back the Party
The Party reorganization begins every four years with the elections at the precinct level – my states window for this is right now! I imagine most states do this after the presidential elections.
We only have 8 months to get organized!
First day to file for a place on the Primary ballot for precinct chair candidates.
Tuesday, September 14, 2021
Methods for becoming a County Chair: (Sec.171.022) Election for two-year term. Candidates for County Chair run for office in the Primary Election each even-numbered year. A one-page notarized application must be submitted to the County Chair (yourself, if you are seeking re-election) within a one-month filing period. Individuals may also run as write-in candidates (Sec. 171.0231). The winner is determined by majority vote of those voting in the Primary Election.
Methods of Becoming a Precinct Chairman Election for two-year term. Candidates for Precinct Chairman run for office in the Primary Election each even-numbered year. A one-page notarized application must be submitted to the County Chairman within the filing period, usually September to December. Individuals may also apply as write-in candidates (Sec. 171.0231). If only one candidate applied to be on the ballot, there will be no election and that person will be declared elected to the office (Sec. 171.0221). If there is more than one candidate, the winner is determined by majority vote of those voting in the Republican Primary.
I think we need a deeper clean than just the primaries.
What state is your reference for party chairs from? I imagine most states are similar but we will all have to look for what applies to us locally to make changes.
Jason – you summed it up PERFECTLY. Excellent job.
“Actually we will also not vote for you in the general election either!!! You either get primaried or you lose to the Dem in the general election. It makes no difference. “
Rule # 1: This must be our Prime Directive.
Rule # 2: See rule # 1.
Did you not see how the last election went? They determine the winners and losers. That should be blatantly obvious and if it isn’t we have no hope to return our country.
So…. if it IS obvious, and it is to most Treepers, what is your proposed solution ?
I think they need to be followed, heckled, and made to feel uncomfortable 100% of the time they are in public.
The voters in their home towns need to make their lives miserable.
If people do that, follow, heckle, that would seem to add to their fervor to declare anyone not with their big club to be domestic terrorists, as that seems to be the way things are rapidly being defined.
Not sure if common sense will even have a chance with the blood lust that has been let loose by the Democrat/Antifa/BLM wing of humankind.
Jason Tatum, totally agree with you. Burn the GOP to the ground. This second impeachment BS is beyond vile. I do not believe the Constitution allows for some travesty like this. I hope President Trump challenges its validity and if they convict him, the legitimacy of trying to keep him from future office. Makes me sick.
Did you miss the message of the last election? Building votes to win a future election is past. Voting is over.
I copied and pasted the first paragraph and e-mailed it to Senator Traitor McConell.
I will do the same right now and also send it to “my” senators Marco Rubio and Rick Scott!
I’m gone, and I ain’t comin back.
I am SOOOOO down for this!!! Get them either way!! ?. They just may listen if they are told this enough!
I’m there. Either take them out in the primary or general election. Destroy their power and leverage. Burn it to the ground and build a Patriot Party.
Actually makes no difference what the GOP Senators do anyway, we plan to Primary or General them out. Play TAPS for the Republican Party NOW!
IF they convict ( a big “if”), they can then hold a separate vote (majority, not 2/3) to bar him from running for any future federal office. I think that is the real goal, and I would not call it moot.
NOWHERE in The Constitution is Congress granted the power to bar Trump from running again. Even if e had been impeached and removed from office he would STILL BE ELIGIBLE to run again.
Impeached Judge Al Cee Hastings now sitting in Congress. Look it up before its scrubbed from wikipedia’
After the Uniparty worked together to stage our fraud election, I’d be worried they think a fake impeachment will bring Republican voters back home. It should stir emotion on both sides and raise money from gullible donors on both sides.
They’ve been planning Trump’s removal for years. It’s all been war-gamed.
I cannot imagine the R establishment would believe such a thing. They are rubbing salt in a wound that has no time to heal for PT and for 75 million Americans.
You’d HAVE to be a sociopath to be incapable of seeing how merciless and cruel this is.
After stealing the election from PDJT … now they want to punish him… for complaining about it.
Psychopaths… this takes serious mental illness to do something like this to a man THEY KNOW is a good man, was a great president… and WON the election.
Cold Day in Hell.
Dems feel they have nothing to lose since the memory of people is short. We are far away from elections.
They “impeached in the House w/out one witness from POTUS.”
I am amazed, actually, that Nancy Pelosi isn’t afraid some wacko will put a bullet between her eyes and she won’t survive to enjoy her martyrdom.
Despicable and I blame McConnell
So do I – Follow the example of Don Thrasher and demand that McConnell and all the house members that voted for impeachment be censured.

In Bram Stoker’s novel Dracula, the only way to guarantee that the Evil of the vampire can stay defeated, is to decapitate the body, stuff the head with garlic, and drive the stake through the body very deeply.
What does that have to do with the topic here?
Nancy or Mitch?
Both… and….
A whole lot.
EVERYTHING!
Ask Kathy Griffin.
In the 897 Cadaver Trial, Pope Stephen VI had a predecessor, Pope Formosus’ body exhumed. His corpse was brought to the papal court where it was accused of perjury and acceding to the papacy illegally. At the trial Formosus was found guilty and his papacy retroactively declared null.
And what does that have to do with the topic here?
Actually, real bright “sunlight” on McConnell’s corrupt scams and underhand back room dealings could be very effective. If someone could locate and pull back the curtains on his U.S. Chamber of Commerce dealings (and profits) and on how any legislation has favored Chao’s family shipping interests….
He’s a cagey crook so I doubt he’s left very obvious breadcrumbs to follow, but maybe the Senate records exposed via FOIA will reveal some uncomfortable facts.
The seventh branch of the US Military is required right now – Magnum Force.
Please explain this cold anger thing to me again, Sundance.
“It’s all ugly… Big and Ugly.”. And it’s going to get much uglier, remember, Trump is just in the way.
I’m confused. The Constitution states that impeachment applies to The President, PDJT is not one of those today.
Communist DEMS do not care what the Constitution says!
Democrats are time travelers. Dead people vote and ex-Presidents can be impeached.
The GOP should then insist on impeaching Obama….if they had the balz…..which they do not.
In a hypothetical world, where GOP had testicular fortitude, I might thing that possible. The gay Kenyan hold court over these eunuchs. Imagine how bad it is when you get cucked by a cuck?
Roberts should inform Schumer he won’t preside over an Unconstitutional trial … i.e. no trial …
Surely, you are joking.
He doesn’t preside over constitutional trials, either. Just ask Texas.
He already expressed that sentiment.
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/john-roberts-does-not-want-to-preside-over-trumps-second-impeachment/ar-BB1cTu3z
Uh, China doesn’t recognize our constitution.
This was a coup, not an election.
They will not stop with impeachment, IMO. I think that’s why they wanted troops there.
Bingo
They want the troops in DC because they are terrified of 75 million Trump supporters.
So, if I quit a job, can my employer decide to fire after I am already gone?
I am totally baffled…
Yes, fire you and ensure that you don’t get the pension you earned and are entitled to and, oh, decree you can never work again… Pretty powerful “employer”, eh bkrg2?
They should just declare The Constitution null and void and be done with it… If they did, Jen Psaki wouldn’t even be asked about it…
This makes Orwell look — as my Grandma would say — a “piker”….
Sadly. At this time We the People have not a Constitution…
Supposedly the theory is that as long as the “impeachment” happens (i.e. the House articles are drawn up and voted through) while the president is sitting, then the conviction may happen after the president has left office.
The impeachment process applies to other federal offices also, and any act deemed to be a “high crime or misdemeanor” taking place while the individual held office. There’s no time limit in the Constitution on when such trials must take place. The Senate has held other impeachment trials previously that took place after the office-holder had left or resigned, just never in the case of a president.
Thanks
Isn’t the stated reason for Impeachment of a US President “removal from office”?
There have only been 2 impeachments of ex-office holders. Blount’s case was kicked because he was a senator & they decided senators were no subject to impeachment & Belknap’s case was nearly kicked (close vote) and he was ultimately aquitted
They should all be targeted for primaries regardless of what comes of Impeachment 2: Trump Boogaloo.
They need to be targeted with eggs and packages of poop on their doorsteps.
Hey, Joe, how’s that “My goal is to unite the country” thing goin’ for ya, man? The bitch is undercutting you with even the few remaining sane voters in your party.
And how are YOU doin’, Mr. Chris Farley Barr?
How do I hate thee, let me count the ways.
UNITY!!!!!!!!!!!
Meanwhile…
The entire world (x-central planner commies) gives our ‘Gubmint’…
The Big Beverly Hills Howdy.
If they give Trump a real trial, the evidence of voter fraud may actually get in front of a lot of people who have no idea what we know.
this will not be a real trial… this will only be theater.. a show trial just like communist like…
As Obama’s former advisor David Pouffe said in a tweet, “His kind must not rise again.”
Watch for that evidence to be ruled irrelevant and immaterial.
You forget. They now own the Senate and make the rules.
They can’t discuss any matter not in the Article passed by the House. The Senate trial will be solely over whether or not President Trump has a contributory liability for the actions of others who broke into the Capitol, did damage etc.
Long past time for us to start using Alinsky on them.
They don’t have the votes to convict. And even if they did I don’t believe Trump will run again anyways and nobody is going to seriously take away secret service protection from an ex-president. The precedent being set is horrible for all future presidents. Especially since neither of his impeachment’s have even had a crime related to them.
Trump should use the stage in this political theater as a sounding board to scorch the political class and sound off on election fraud.
They can try to hurt the man, they can’t stop the movement.
Agree…Our movement is ‘Yuge’
Actually it’s far past time to invoke rule .308……nothing else is going to solve our problems.
They have the votes to convict if they can quash any presentation of the hard exculpatory evidence – the social media-based preplanning by outside entities not part of the MAGA movement.
I’d bet the NSA has hard evidence of other nefarious pre-planning of that riot by anti-Trump entities….
Impeachment is the process to remove a sitting president from office.
How in the world can this be applied now? If I were Trump, I would make it a central issue that congress has no jurisdiction over a private citizen and appeal that point directly to the supreme court.
well Roberts is supposed to preside over the Senate trial … he can simply say its Unconstitutional and refuse … we will see …
Pretty sure they’ve already got him by the balls.
I believe you forgot the adjectives “shriveled” and “atrophied” in your sentence.
“The Ex-President has no standing.” – John Roberts
He already said that a week ago.
Do not the evil cabal’s actions reveal that President Trump IS President?
SCOTUS has already proven they are owned body and soul by the left. Relying on them for anything but betrayal is folly.
Steve Bannon is correct that this is the perfect public venue to show proof for the fraudulent election and the false flag on January 6th. These events are all part of the four year coup. If any Republican Senator has the beginnings of a pair, they should insist on adequate time to make their case, and make it so that the average citizen can understand everything.
Go read Invisible Mikey at 6:28p.m. – the odds are that they will disallow any evidence that PDJT wants to present unless it deals with their narrow accusation.
They are not following the usual rules so why should President Trump or his lawyers?
It is impossible to believe this is the United States of America. Members of the Senate had better be challenging the supporters of this to a dual. I’m talking the real deal with ten paces and turn.
duel
Couple of beers, nice in Florida today.
If convicted, I don’t see how Republican Senators can expect to keep support for future Republican candidates. It seems like a suicide mission for a Republican Senator to vote for President Trump’s conviction. His popularity and last approval rating were good.
Could it be that Republican Senators are that afraid of Deep State donors? We’ll see.
they can’t now….regardless of this, and they know it…and you know… they DON’T CARE
Think about it for one minute…Any time President made an EO it was sent to the courts by democrats.
The courts are now packed with Trump judges, why hasn’t a single republican taken any of Xiden’s EO’s to court? That why they need to be voted out
Whether Trump is convicted or not, I already plan to not vote for either of my two senators when they come up for re-election. I will vote for very few Republicans anymore. Perhaps the County Sheriff, Supervisor, and Auditor, if they are qualified and honest, but not for any higher offices.
I can understand the disgust and don’t blame you. However, the left/communist would love nothing better than to have us all that demoralized.
I don’t have the answer I’m just trying to figure out if there is anyway that could help bring about a change in making sure better people are actually able to run and be voted for. Currently my thoughts turn to a bottom up revolution in the local party apparatus.
We can vote, but it will not count. Voting is over.
I think it will still count at the local and perhaps some state level, the fraud we saw could only work for state wide races.
Correction. The courts are packed with McCONNELL (Uniparty) judges. BIG difference.
Why do you think the cases proving vote fraud could not get any traction in any district court, even ones presided over by supposed “Trump” appointees?
They all watched the election be stolen from their sitting president. They are doomed already.
A million dollars will not overcome Trump saying don’t vote for this rino
Chuck Schumer says Trump is responsible for inciting an erection. There are very few politicians capable of doing that. As much as I like the guy, President Trump is not one of them.
#SchumerHeartsTrump
No matter what you say Schumer, you don’t need to stiffen the President’s resolve.
Inciting in whom? Schumer, Pelosi? I can say that Pelosi has been acting like it for over a year now.
Meh
If I thought this might be fair trial I would think of it as a good thing. However it will not be fair and the conclusion is already made. They must have enough RINOs already signed up or they would not go ahead with this.
So, what Justice is going to preside over this farce? Roberts has said he is not interested in presiding over another Trump impeachment.
Give it to Clarence Thomas who can read them the riot act on rules and let Rudy and Trump’s lawyers present so much evidence people will be sick of evidence.
Much as Thomas doesn’t like Trump I have to think he hate the Witch of the West as much.
These days I am reminded of one of H.L. Mencken’s greatest quotes:
“Every normal man must be tempted at times to spit on his hands, hoist the Black Flag and begin slitting throats.”
Love it.. TY Mr.Elder.
Let’s see how Chief Justice Roberts reacts. This is a preplanned two-for folks. Block President Trump from seeking office and replace Roberts with Sotomayor, first female Chief Justice.
Note: the Chief Justice is appointed by the President and approved by the senate. I see a nuclear vote vote next Monday in the senate to appoint a new Chief Justice if Roberts declines to participate, which is probably fine by Roberts anyway and part of the plan with this impeachment.
Slow Joe gets to make history by appointing the “Smart Latina” as the new Chief Justice.
Right. The “Wise Latina” If that isn’t racist, what is?
This is nothing so much as a Dark Ages Inquisition with Trump being the condemned heretic. And these throwbacks, these abominations on humanity, like Pelosi and Schumer, call themselves “progressives”.
and we are all next………..
China Mitch is the wild card…
Any GOP Senator who goes along with this insufferably political scheme to target former President Trump will face a primary challenge in their next election. We will ensure.
Absolutely!
Somehow, that just doesn’t seem like enough.
All 100 senators need to be put in a MMA cage with some champs.
I’m just a suburban mom but I’d be happy to give it a whirl.
If the Senate fails to convict then Trump remains in office just like last time right?
GOP idiots. Trump doesn’t need you. YOU need Trump and his MAGA voters. But, it’s obvious you are too stupid to figure that out. As the saying goes, “You can’t fix stupid.” So, bye GOP.
Yep, the democrats are destroying the Republicans too. Dems get a twofer.
Are the Republicans really that stupid? Rhetorical
No. They have pretty much revealed the fact that they don’t give a rat’s azz about us anymore. They can get all the campaign $$$ they need from their corrupt shady deals with lobbyists. As to voting, I think Dominion has their answer to getting enough votes. We need a different approach, one that they aren’t expecting.
These folks desire to head off a MAGA LIBRARY off at the pass. Just imagine what a MAGA Library would be like…
The BIGGEST, BEST and most BEAUTIFUL library ever — would be better than Disney Land — and they’d have the best of wines (Trump Winery) in house and possibly the most amazing of hotels to stay at(Trump Plaza). Bring on the Impeachment Trial – Go scorched Earth, they WILL lose BIGGLY!
POTUS can still build his library they just wouldn;t fund it or have it under the National Archives.
Nixon built his own private library after he left. I was later made official I believe after he died they brought it under the National Archives who runs them.
But nothing stops POTUS from funding and building his own.. The POTUS benefits though usuall allows money to build one.
My understanding is that since POTUS left office at the end of his term. he is entitled to his benefits. the only way he could be denied is if he was convicted and REMOVED from office. but they can’t remove him from an office he no longer holds. If they tried he could sue ..Or they would have to change the law.. but they can vote that he not be able to ever hold office again and that is what I think the goal is here..they would also have to vote to remove SS protection..
Al Cee Hastings
Slut
As a fairly rational person, I cannot fathom why the GOP would pursue this suicide mission, given that a bulk of the 75 million stand firmly behind the greatest President in history. No level of tone dearness can offer an explanation. Those bastards will PAY DEARLY
Apparently they live in a hermetically sealed bubble.
Zero Sum Game
Well, let’s see. Nan and her spy network, the whole intel community, have knowledge of Mitch’s $$$$ with China, I’m sure.
How do you impeach someone who isn’t even in office?
They can’t, ergo Trump is still President.

If one minds a bit of reading, GovTrack.us has some information on that House Bill mentioned in the Tweet.
https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/116/hr5717
And they even have a .pdf link available.
https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/BILLS-116hr5717ih/pdf/BILLS-116hr5717ih.pdf
Last I knew, the Bill would have to be resubmitted as it was not even brought up for a vote by the 116th Congress, and the 117th Congress has just been seated.
These days? Who knows if they will continue to even follow their own rules.
May a P%X be upon their house…(and senate)
Can someone tell me if they want to deny him the perks of an ex-president?
That will be EVIL!
Another thing, can he fail to show up for this farce?
If he doesn’t show up what will happen?
If you mean Trump personally, he didn’t appear at Impeachment Trial 1, nothing.
The Senate did not conduct a trial in ShamPeachment #1
I suspected as much.
It sounds to me like an implied threat. The deep state may just kill him without secret service protection.
This is why the troops are in DC. They fully intend to convict him, strip his benefits, strip his secret service and make sure he never runs again. Hence the troops.
Sadly no good lawyers are willing to defend. I expect most of the GOP to turn on him again.
Pray I am wrong
His daughter is a lawyer. He should have her defend him. That would be epic.
Can’t Don JR. Girlfriend represent him she was a former prosecutor I believe?
I am sure there are many a lawyer who will defend him — Hoping many a Treeper steps up!
Professor John Eastman will be one of the impeachment lawyers. He was one of Trump’s lawyers for contesting the Electoral College.
No, that’s not why the NG troops were in DC in such numbers. There were two reasons, one fairly overt and another not-so-overt.
President Trump has just hired a lawyer from SC to represent him at the impeachment trial.
Once Trump let office his impeachment became a legal impossibility. The left isn’t interested in legal or illegal. They are fronting this circus to keep people distracted. Watch his circus while we commit these crimes over here.
That truth is sufficient to give even A-holes like Sasse and Romney a valid excuse to vote against conviction. They can say (in high dudgeon) “Trump’s behavior was unacceptable, but I cannot vote to convict because he isn’t even the president anymore. It’s unconstitutional.” That wouldn’t exactly be a profile in courage, but the fact that they have such an “out” means that any Republican who votes to convict would be doing it purely out of hatred of Trump and his supporters. Any Republican who votes to convict should be persona non grata.
Any Republican Senator who is currently breathing should be persona non grata.
We will know the outcome early in the trial. Watch for the Senate to establish strict rules of evidence. If it is ruled that the President cannot submit evidence concerning the stolen election because it is irrelevant and immaterial to the case, the votes are there to railroad him.
Mitch should just say, “Our Constitutional lawyers say this is a no-go,
They want him dead.
The he would be a Martyr…they wouldn’t want that.
Better hope the “Garage Guard” wakes up and smells the bacon.
Everything else is just what we been doin’ for the past 50-60 years. Wait and see. Wait and see.
That’s all we ever do is wait and see.
If you can’t see now, you never will.
Another RNC call just now. This time, I took it hoping to hear a live person. I felt pretty silly yelling, “F— off a jillion times to a robot voice, but after the fifth one, robot voice said, “No problem.” LOL Programmed he is for people who yell.
The Senate will be setting a dangerous precedent.
A GOP senator should send this to SCOTUS.
A POTUS can’t “be removed” unless he is in office.
Primary? How about IMMEDIATE RECALL?
For at least 16 years before Trump became president the government agencies were filled with both Bush employees and Obama employees. And Trump was against both the Bush and Obama administrations and at rallies and tweets spoke about Bush and Obama mistakes and insulted both past presidents. It was a stacked deck against the president doing anything with the CIA/FBI/DOJ because both Bush/Obama people in those agencies worked together with singleness of purpose to take out Trump.
“government agencies were filled with both Bush employees and Obama employees. And Trump was against both the Bush and Obama administration”
Scum from the WJC days had risen to the TOP of every agency in the swamp
Just another obvious high crime, and another opportunity for any REAL law enforcement to do its duty and arrest them all.
They turn Washington into an insane asylum, and act only to demand we give them credibility, i.e. recognition of their legitimacy — which of course is impossible, as they are nothing but illegitimate, in all ways.
The obsession that drives the diseased cadaver to punish President Trump, should really be looked into by reputable psychiatrist.
That may be a more difficult feat than finding an honest Congressman.
