Pelosi: Impeachment proceeding begin in the 2nd attempt: Pelosi Demands Pence Invoke 25th Amendment
Rather than attempt to do their work for the American People, the House, emboldened by the New Party rule and driven by Pelosi’s blind hate, launch a 2nd attempt of Impeachment in total disregard of the 75M or more Americans who disagree.
Guilty until proven innocent: President Trump did not incite violence, and called for peaceful protest. We watched the speech and read his posts now taken down. Guilty until proven innocent Take two, but this time he may not have a chance to prove it. This at the expense of the American people, emotionally and through taxes , who are already burdened by the draconian lockdowns.
TRUMP”S EXACT QUOTES TAKEN DOWN BY TWITTER:
“I am asking for everyone at the U.S. Capitol to remain peaceful. No violence! Remember, WE are the Party of Law & Order – respect the Law and our great men and women in Blue. Thank you!
Please support our Capitol Police and Law Enforcement. They are truly on the side of our Country. Stay peaceful!”

“On Wednesday, the President incited a deadly insurrection against America that targeted the very heart of our Democracy. The President represents an imminent threat to our Constitution, our Country and the American people, and he must be removed from office immediately.
“Today, in pro forma session, Leader Hoyer introduced a Unanimous Consent request to take up legislation by Congressman Jamie Raskin calling on the Vice President to mobilize the Cabinet to activate the 25th Amendment to remove the President.
“The House Republicans rejected this legislation to protect America, enabling the President’s unhinged, unstable and deranged acts of sedition to continue. Their complicity endangers America, erodes our Democracy, and it must end.
“The House will next take up the Raskin legislation in regular order to call upon the Vice President to activate the 25th Amendment to remove the President. We are further calling on the Vice President to respond within 24 hours after passage.
