President Trump was impeached a second time by the US House of Representatives on Wednesday in a largely party-line vote that saw a handful of Republicans join Democrats to blame the outgoing commander-in-chief for sparking last week’s Capitol siege.
The measure reached 217 “yea” votes shortly after 4:20 p.m. to make Trump the only president to be impeached twice.
The final vote was 232-197, with 10 Republicans crossing party lines and four Republicans not voting when House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif) announced around 4:35 p.m.
No members of the GOP voted in 2019 to impeach Trump the first time.

House GOP needs to draw up articles of impeachment for Biden, to be presented in January 2022 once the GOP-controlled House is in session. High crimes and misdemeanors will be filled in at that time based on the previous week's news stories.

Yawn. Who cares? Meaningless gesture.
At this point President Trump should wear this impeachment as a badge of honor and a medal awarded to him for all he did to expose the deep state and the criminal communist demonrats.

Can you say Kangaroo Court trial? No discussion of the "charges", no opportunity to exercise the opportunity of the charged to present evidence in his/her own defense as promised in the constitution. This sets the precedent for any future congress to impeach a president based on any minor disagreement. "Treason" is now redefined. The bar for "High crimes and misdemeanors" has been lowered to the ground. Buckle up, patriots--this is going to be a rough ride for the next two years.

If this is impeachable, then why isn't Harris being impeached for her statements about the riots this summer when interviewed on Colbert and her bailing out rioters in Minnesota? ( I know why, of course, but why didn't anyone bring it up?)

These Republicans who owe their win to Trump alone, do realize that Biden didn't really get 80 million votes? Do they realize that they are playing up to computer generated, xeroxed, and millions of other ballots cast by, fake, dead and illegal ballot "harvesters."
If they think that the 75 million sane, legal and loyal Trump voters are going to somehow have their eyes opened and will embrace this ridiculous administration, while continuing to support wimpy Republicans, they are as delusional as Nancy Pelosi.

A symbolic lynching. Apparently they didn’t get the memo from Mitch that this thing will never get to the floor of the senate. Dead upon passage. Feel better about yourselves? We now have the dirty ten Repubs that will be targeted by the MAGA Party for defeat next election.

Shameless...talk about inciting violence...don't fall for it. That is what they want. After months and months (really years and years) of violent confrontation across the country and including, DC, right outside the venerated White House, it only takes one event where a few people on the right are "violent" and we are now Public Enemy #1. Makes me loathe the mainstream media with heat of a thousand suns.

On Jan 20, Nancy and Schumer will arrange to have armed military at The White House so they can get propaganda images of "Trump being thrown out / marched out of The White House." Trump should make a surprise exit and deny them the photo op.

You can thank the morons of the Syracuse area for Katko, another uniparty HACK. Meanwhile the Tom Reed, R, NY representative has the bright idea of censuring President Trump. The lard posterior has done nothing but dine on our dime in DC till this stupid stunt. Another absolute dope who will be out of office next time he runs.

Nancy Piglosi is so old that she can't get off stuck with her obsessive hate of President Trump. She's the danger to the country, she's the one who makes USA the laughing stock of the world. Love the idea of the MAGA party. Just told the Republican Party to take me off their list.

Impeachment is the charge...not a conviction. No trial is upcoming.
I can understand Beutler (WA), who lost 6% from '18 numbers in her '20 election as did Katko (NY) and Kinzinger (IL). They calculate at their own risk. Valadao (CA) lost in '18 by a thin few votes, and won in '20 by another whisker. Meijer (MI) succeeded Amash, with 53% of the vote in that district.
These others...Upton (MI), Newhouse (WA), Gonzalez (OH), Rice (SC) are all relatively safe seats.
Cheney should get booted from her caucus and committee leadership positions. Her only excuse is she is a Bushie.

Okay. I expect one and only one response from President Trump. He has a week left to do it,
Fire Wray at FBI (and Haspel at CIA, Biden already has his deep state replacement for her).
Release WITHOUT redactions all documents pertaining to the deep state and the Russian Hoax, the Impeachment Hoax, and the Clinton and Biden crime families.
We all know that come January 21st, there will be a run on military grade paper shredders, greenhouse gas friendly incinerators, and Bleach Bit 2.0 by all those government agencies. And a resumption of the political spying operations by deep state as happened under the Obama-Biden regime.

Since the House is under Demon-Rat control anyway, if the Repuli-Can't Party still had any cajones, they would immediately strip these 10 traitors of all of their committee assignments and kick them out of the party!!!
But it won't happen. After their treasonous votes, they will retain their power and wealth, and get lots of help being re-elected by the Republi-Can't Party the next time they run!!!
This is exactly why the Republi-Can't Party is dead to me. I am now an independent. I will never vote for any Demon-Rat!!!! I will continue to vote for solid conservative candidates even if they run as Republicans. But I will support them and donate directly to their campaigns. Never another penny to the Republi-Can't Party!!!!! And if they are stupid enough to ask me for another penny, they are going to get a very not-very-nice reply from me!!!!!!

The lesson here is this:
We will destroy anyone who challenges us the next time we steal an election.
Isn't it curious that Trump was impeached, TWICE, for challenging democrat misdeads.

Trump will wear the 2nd house impeachment like the badge of honor that it is. In four years, he almost beat the swamp. At least now we know how entrenched it really is.
Ten Republicrats, one and all, were traitors to the Constitution and their oaths. Go alongs to get alongs who will find out that when the democrats crap on them, as they will, they've got no one to run home to for protection.
Adam Kinzinger of Illinois
John Katko of New York
Liz Cheney of Wyoming
Jaime Herrera Beutler of Washington
Fred Upton of Michigan
Dan Newhouse of Washington
Herrera Beutler of Washington
Tom Rice of South Carolina
David Valadao of California
Peter Meijer of Michigan

This Pelosi & RINO House has over-reached its bounds by racing ahead to impeach, fabricating outrageous charges and now denying this President his Right to even defend himself! It is these rabid leftist pols who are shamed by such unAmerican actions, NOT this President who has accomplished so much good for the USA and beyond for peace and who did not encourage the rioters in any way. We were watching TV that day as everything occurred and observed the usual anarchist antifa tactics in the attack on the Capitol, which began BEFORE those attending the rally where the President was speaking even had time to March on over to the Capitol building. The media is repeating their bogus line about what actually happened, just as they covered for the anarchist antifa mobs throughout last years violent city riots by calling them, ''peaceful,'' even as we watched the truth on TV.

#29, I’m pretty sure Tulsi is not in the House. She either didn’t run or was voted out. Watching some of this today, made me realize how disgusting and holier than thou most of our Congress critters really are. Not a single Democrat should be serving and that goes double for the ten stupid republicans who voted for this sham.
