Impeachment Resolution Cites Trump's 'Incitement' Of Capitol Insurrection
The impeachment article says that during an address to supporters on Wednesday, Trump "willfully made statements that, in context, encouraged — and foreseeably resulted in — lawless action at the Capitol, such as: 'if you don't fight like hell you're not going to have a county anymore.' "
Section 3 of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution prohibits any person who has "engaged in insurrection or rebellion against" the United States from "holding an office ... under the United States." In his conduct while President of the United States — and in violation of his constitutional oath faithfully to execute the office of President of the United States and, to the best of his ability, preserve, provide, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States and in violation of his constitutional duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed — Donald John Trump engaged in high Crimes and Misdemeanors by inciting violence against the Government of the United States.

Here we are folks. As I type this Trump is being impeached for a second time. They are making the arguments for it in the House right now. Trump was right. He did make history.

The pleas for unity, however well-intentioned, obscure a crucial fact: This is not a bipartisan crisis. The Republican Party welcomed Trump into their ranks and indulged and excused him for four years. They nurtured the movement that led to the attack on the Capitol.
Even after the Capitol was violently sacked, even after at least five people were killed, a poll showed that 45 percent of Republicans support the invasion. That means millions upon millions of Americans see no problem in disrupting the peaceful transfer of power, a bedrock of constitutional democracy. And mere hours after the crisis at the Capitol, nearly 150 Republican lawmakers formally objected to the results of the 2020 election anyway.
So that’s where we are.

Intel strongly suggests this isn’t over. Yet no one is calling on the president and the Republican Party to tell their radical right to stand down. One sentence in a speech telling them to do so by the president doesn't cut it. That alone is reason enough to impeach and then pursue further charges.
As I just posted in another thread. This is also about blocking Trump from getting any of the perks presented to a President after he/she leaves office. Those perks are substantial.

It’s not a dodge to keep going back to history, but a majority of Americans supported the America First position prior to December 7, 1941, the day Pearl Harbor was attacked. If a vote had been taken on December 6 as to whether we should defeat Nazism and Japanese imperialism, I think Americans would have voted overwhelmingly against it. Likewise, a majority of Americans are overwhelmingly against punishing Trump.
Once the United States got into WWII, you would have expected FDR to call for healing and unity. But in fact, Roosevelt attacked the most prominent isolationists, calling them the new “copperheads.” Copperhead was the term for Democrats who still supported slavery and the Southern cause in the wake of the Civil War’s outbreak. Roosevelt correctly intuited that isolationists had to be completely defeated at that moment, not made peace with.
Now is the time to say no, to take a forceful stand against Trumpian neo-fascist opposition to democracy and the constitutional order, to say that we can’t permit this to go on anymore and that we have to anathematize those who believe otherwise. And that means marginalizing the people insisting the election was stolen. It means legal action against the people who invaded the Capitol and those who gave them support. And ultimately, it requires a forceful military and police response to these kinds of disorders and attempted overthrows of the government.
We’re not in for happy times. But I’m enough of a Christian to remember the line about Christ bringing not peace, but a sword. And I think that probably is what’s going to have to happen to get past this dark period. https://biblehub.com/matthew/10-34.htm

GOP Congressmen afraid of being assassinated by Trumptards:
Ana Cabrera @AnaCabrera
In the category of shocking but not surprising: CNN’s @jamiegangel reports that the WH is putting huge pressure on members, and that members are saying "they want to vote to impeach but they legitimately fear for their lives and their families’ lives."

Meet the Press @MeetThePress
WATCH: Rep. Jason Crow (D-Colo.) says majority of GOP "paralyzed with fear"
@RepJasonCrow: "I had a lot of conversations with my Republican colleagues. ... A couple of them broke down in tears ... saying that they are afraid for their lives if they vote for this impeachment."

The demographic structure of our population is changing fast and isn’t racist friendly. The populism message will always appeal to the uneducated in our country, but with the white supremacist population in decline, that message will be less alluring in our election process.
The up and coming republicans will distance themselves from the Trump era.

The Capitol Hill mob wanted to intimidate Congress. It’s working.
After receiving death threats, Republicans say they’re afraid to vote to impeach.
Tim Alberta, Politico’s chief political correspondent, writes, “I know for a fact several members *want* to impeach but fear casting that vote could get them or their families murdered. Numerous House Republicans have received death threats in the past week.”

They reap what they sow. It is what it is and Trump will be impeached.
