Nancy gets a bill approved but that failed.

History is going to be made today but this is not a good thing.

And Congress shows how irrelevant it is.

 

Well, So Much for That

Nancy Pelosi and Congress have passed a bill giving Mike Pence 24 hours to implement the 25th Amendment. She said that if Mike Pence does not implement the 25th Amendment impeachment proceedings will begin.

Guess what? Mike Pence told Nancy to kick rocks and Nancy has started the impeachment process. It’s happening as I write this.

Now, there are a couple of problems here:

First off, Nancy Pelosi and Congress have nothing to do with the 25th Amendment. Only the President and his cabinet can implement the 25th Amendment. The only responsibility of Congress is to be informed about it. Period. So that bill she got passed on Monday was worthless.

Again, it amazes me that she has time to pass a worthless bill but took six months to pass COVID relief. Incredible.

Next, this impeachment is probably worthless. The Senate is not in session and will not meet until after Trump is no longer President. The Democrats have said they may wait 100 days before sending the impeachment to the Senate because they want to pass Biden’s Left wing agenda.

Again, the Constitution might get in the way. Can you remove someone from office when he is not in office? Probably not. Impeachment is a political tool not a legal one. If they wanted to go after Trump, they may have to do it through the criminal system. If convicted of a crime for, whatever, he cannot run again.

Again, it amazes me that she has time to go through a worthless impeachment but took six months to pass COVID relief. Incredible.

Why are Democrats doing this? They are doing this for two reasons:

• They want to make this the last thing Americans remember about Trump.
• They want to stain his legacy historically.
• They want to make sure he never runs for President again.
• They want to give themselves the moral high ground.

 

This is a very cynical ploy. It’s nothing more than a show. What’s worse, all this is going to lead to nothing that the Democrats are going for.

Is Impeachment Even a Thing?

Here’s what the Democrats and some Republicans are saying: President Trump created and insurrection with his words during a rally while the certification of votes was taking place in the Senate. That insurrection led to the deaths of two police officers and three rioters.

Here’s the problem for Democrats: They decided to rush this impeachment before any real investigation was done and they ignore what Trump actually said in his speech.

Now, before I get into that, let me talk about Trump’s behavior since he lost the election. It has been terrible. He has been complaining that there was wide spread fraud. I believe he is probably right. I believe that this election was stolen. But, the problem is that one has to prove it. Trump had two months to prove it, which might not have been enough time, and couldn’t.

• With that, he should have just kept positive but he didn’t.
• He should have ensured a smooth transition, but he didn’t.
• He should have talked about his successes, but he didn’t.

 

He whined and complained. I don’t blame him for his fighting to get the election overturned, the riot or the objections by those in the Senate. He just acted like a child that had his favorite toy away. This I do blame him for. I think he would have gotten a lot more sympathy if he had just accepted the loss and looked to the future.

With that being said, outside of his bad behavior, Trump did nothing wrong to deserve being impeached and deserves, much less, to be out of office.

• In his speech, he did say the protesters should go to Congress but he said they should “peaceable protest and be patriots.”
• He never told the people to be violent. Nothing in his speech preached violence.
• He did pit his anger at the Congress including Vice President Pence. He was confrontational. This isn’t a crime and happens all the time in politics.

 

Simply put, there isn’t a crime committed by Trump.

The other problem that this impeachment has been fast tracked with no investigation information available to the Senate or House. That is a very bad thing for the House and makes this whole thing look really politically and not motivated by a crime.

See, here’s the thing, The FBI is not reporting that this was a planned assault. The rioters had bombs, Molotov cocktails, weapons and zip ties. This was not, for the most part, a spontaneous riot. This may have been planned. That would be evidence that what Trump would have said would have nothing to do with this attack.

We are also finding out information about those being arrested. A lot of them have some severe mental and social problems. They were radical. They were already susceptible to violence.

Finally, the FBI is not even sure these individuals were at the rally.

So this is going nowhere, especially as the evidence comes out from the FBI.

Are the Dems Going to Gain Anything Over This?

Everything done by the Democrats is going to fail. In fact, it could be a disaster politically.

Trump is not getting impeached. He did not commit a crime and he will not be in office before the Senate can hold a trial. In fact, he will be on a golf course in Scotland before the Senate even gets the articles.

Politically, this is a disaster for the Democrats. In a poll released today, 76% of those polled think this is a bad idea and a waste of time. That includes Democrats, Republicans and Independents. Again, six months to get a COVID relief bill and one week to get the President impeached…again.

What could be worse is that Nancy picked her impeachment managers already, before the impeachment had happened. The managers will be led by Jamie Raskin. The good news is, according to the New York Times:

“The managers come from across the country and represent different ideological wings of the party. Of the nine, seven are people of color, L.G.B.T.Q. or women.”

One individual, Eric Swalwell, will also be a manager. This could make a trial real interesting. Eric Swalwell is the Congressman who was having a tryst with a Chinese spy. I can’t wait for the President’s lawyers, if this thing even happens, get a hold of him when he makes remarks.

Finally, this is not going to tarnish President Trump’s legacy as much as the Democrats want to believe. Yes, Trump’s behavior in the past couple of month wasn’t great but his accomplishments were many and great.

• His economy had an average quarterly GDP growth of around 2.5% including several quarters over 3%. Obama averaged less than 2% his entire eight years.
• The stock market hit record levels.
• Manufacturing returned to America and factories were being built.
• He replaced NAFTA with the USMCA.
• He lowered unemployment rates to under 5%. Lowest since the 60’s. Obama barely got it under 7% and had it as high as 15%.
• Implemented prison reform.
• He rebuilt the military and added Space Force, which is a big deal.
• He destroyed ISIS.
• He killed the ISIS leader and one of the worst terrorist in Iran.
• He got the NATO allies to put in more money for defense.
• He weakened started a trade war with China.
• He weakened Iran and North Korea.
• He moved the embassy in Israel to Jerusalem.
• He had four peace deals between Israel and other Arab countries.
• He implemented Operation Warp Speed that motivated the private sector to create three vaccines for COVID in nine months. This is an unheard of period of time.

 

All this within four years, with a hostel Congress, a hostile media, under investigation about a false Russia investigation and being impeached over a ten minute phone call. Oh yeah, and he donated his entire Presidential salary to charity.

President Trump had a great domestic policy, a great economic policy and a great foreign policy. He did a great job. History is going to remember that.
