Defeating a House resolution to toss 74-year-old President Donald Trump out of office under the 25th Amendment, Republicans tried to install some rationality into the House Democrats’ angry mob that wants to get rid of Trump before the inauguration. House Democrats blame Trump for the Jan. 6 mob scene tat the Capitol, where an angry mob stormed the Capitol, defacing government property. Democrats blame Trump for “inciting g insurrection,” something so preposterous, so off-the-wall, so disgraceful turning definition of “insurrection” on its head. Democrats know all about insurrection since they paid armed insurgents in Syria under former President Barack Obama billions for eight years to topple Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. Supplying splinter groups arms-and-cash defines “insurgency” or “insurrection” not watching the lunatic fringe go ballistic in a typical riot.
Where were the carefully planned weapons all part on an attempted coup d’etat, “insurrection” or “revolution”? They didn’t exist on Jan. 6 because the melee that ensued wasn’t an “insurrection” as stated in House articles of impeachment but an unruly mob engaged in criminal activity breaching Capitol security, vandalizing and defacing government property. Democrats wanted Vice President Mike Pence to invoke the 25 th Amendment designed only for the purpose of dealing with a president’s incapacity or extreme disability, like a heart attack, gun shot wound or other mishap rendering the president unable to perform his duties. Democrats want to get rid of Trump any way they can, even if it means inappropriately applying the 25th Amendment. Democrats call Trump a danger to U.S. national security but only in a symbolic sense.
Trump didn’t lift one finger to enable the crowd to break into the Capitol or instruct anyone to break the law, event though the articles of impeachment charge Trump with “incitement of insurrection.” Democrats and the media describe the criminals that invaded the Capitol as “Trump supporters,” but, one thing’s for sure,” Trump didn’t instruct anyone to storm the Capitol or break the law. In their zeal to toss Trump out of office, Democrats have tried-and-convicted Trump of “incitement of insurrection” when he delivered a speech to his supporters complaining about fraud in the 2020 election. If Democrats and the media got their way, millions of Trump supporters [75 million voted for him] would be charged with “incitement of insurrection” because they believe something fishy went on the 2020 election contributing to President-elect Joe Biden’s victory.
House members seeking toss Trump out of office with the 25th Amendment either haven’t read the Amendment or don’t know the president must be incapacitated or gravely disabled. House members can’t use the 25th Amendment because they despise Trump or consider him a danger to U.S. national security. Trump hasn’t changed since the day he was sworn in Jan. 20, 2017. Somehow he hasn’t abused his “nuclear codes” or gotten the U.S. into another Mideast war. “President Trump gravely endangers the security of the United States and its institutions of Government,” the legislation said. Whatever happened on Jan. 6, it wasn’t due to Trump giving orders to his crowd to attack the U.S. capital or break any laws. “He will remain a threat to national security, democracy and the Constitution if allowed to remain in office,” the legislation said, exaggerating the threat Trump poses.
Democrats’ case against Trump that he represents a clear and present danger to U.S. national security could not be more fraudulent. Reminiscent of the four-year-long Russian hoax, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, said “we need to move forward with alacrity.” Schiff exaggerated for four years Trump fake contacts with Russia, now urges the House to invoke the 25th Amendment. “We will act with urgency, because this President represents an imminent threat,” 80-year-old House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said. Pelosi’s been out to get Trump from the day he was sworn in. Her first impeachment failed because her allegations about Trump meddling in the 2020 election made zero sense. Asking Ukrainian President Volodymr Zelensky about Joe Biden and his son Hunter’s corruption was reasonable.
Trump’s been in office four years but suddenly it’s urgent that he be removed from office, nine days before Joe’s inauguration. “The horror of the ongoing assault on our democracy perpetuated by this President is intensified and so is the immediate need for action,” Pelosi said, insisting Trump planned and organized the Jan. 6 melee at the Capitol. If a small percent of his audience stormed the Capitol and committed crimes, it wasn’t Trump that ordered them to do. What’s Pelosi trying to do to the U.S. criminal justice system, trying-and-convicting Trump bases on pure speculation? Pelosi and her House lieutenants would use their time more wisely letting Trump finish out what’s left of his term. He’ll be gone in nine days and fade from U.S. history. Chances of Trump running again for public office are slim-and-none.
