There was no coup. There was no insurrection.
Do you think that Biden's ready for his impending impeachment bud?

Pence Calls Trump Wrong in Claiming Vice President Could Overturn Election Result
Cheney, Kinzinger censured by RNC for serving on Jan. 6 committee as GOP rift widens
Former Vice President Mike Pence forcefully rejected former President Donald Trump’s repeated claims that Mr. Pence could have overturned the 2020 election outcome during the session of Congress that was interrupted by pro-Trump rioters.
“President Trump is wrong,” Mr. Pence said in a speech Friday. “The presidency belongs to the American people and the American people alone. And frankly, there is no idea more un-American than the notion that any one person could choose the American president.”
“I had no right to change the outcome of our election, and Kamala Harris will have no right to overturn the election when we beat them in 2024,” he said.
Just hours before Mr. Pence’s speech, Republicans rebuked two House lawmakers for serving on the select committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, as the GOP continues to grapple with Mr. Trump’s failed effort to block the result.
A resolution calling for the censure of Reps. Liz Cheney of Wyoming and Adam Kinzinger of Illinois passed in a voice vote during a meeting of the Republican National Committee in Salt Lake City on Friday. The RNC, which is closely aligned with Mr. Trump, is made up of party officials representing U.S. states and territories.
The resolution accuses the lawmakers of disloyalty, alleging they have “demonstrated, with actions and words, that they support Democrat efforts to destroy President Trump more than they support winning back a Republican majority in 2022.”
RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel said Ms. Cheney and Mr. Kinzinger “crossed a line” by joining what she termed a “Democrat-led persecution of ordinary citizens who engaged in legitimate political discourse that had nothing to do with violence at the Capitol.”
On Jan. 6, supporters of Mr. Trump stormed the Capitol in an effort to block the certification of President Biden’s victory by Congress and Mr. Pence. Mr. Trump, who gave a speech encouraging supporters to march to the Capitol, was impeached by the House on a count of inciting an insurrection. In the Senate, all 50 members of the Democratic caucus were joined by seven Republicans in voting to convict, shy of the 67 needed.
Several GOP lawmakers pushed backed against the effort to sanction Ms. Cheney and Mr. Kinzinger.
Sen. Bill Cassidy (R., La.) tweeted: “The RNC is censuring Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger because they are trying to find out what happened on January 6th—HUH?” Sen. Mitt Romney (R., Utah) tweeted: “Shame falls on a party that would censure persons of conscience, who seek truth in the face of vitriol.”
The Jan. 6 committee has sought testimony and documents from numerous officials close to Mr. Trump, zeroing in on his communications that day.

The American People didn't get to choose the President either. Mail-in fraud chose the President.
That's cool though. Every day of watching Democrats destroy themselves is a gift to all of us.

Mr. Kellogg told investigators that on the morning of the attack, Mr. Trump was on the phone with Mr. Pence and told him “you’re not tough enough to make the call” to overturn the election, according to testimony from Mr. Kellogg.
Mr. Trump’s pressure campaign against Mr. Pence continued later that day, when in a speech on the Ellipse he repeatedly taunted Mr. Pence. At one point, Mr. Trump told the vice president that “I hope you’re going to stand up for the good of our Constitution and for the good of our country. And if you’re not, I’m going to be very disappointed in you. I will tell you right now. I’m not hearing good stories.”
Outside the Capitol during the siege, some rioters could be heard chanting “Hang Mike Pence.” Mr. Pence defied the pressure campaign to reject electors from six states challenged by Republicans: Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
The focus on Mr. Pence comes as members of the Jan. 6 committee have raised the possibility of referring their findings to the Justice Department for possible criminal prosecution of Trump. The Jan. 6 committee has sought testimony and documents from numerous officials close to Mr. Trump, zeroing in on his communications that day.

This article on the Senators of 1860 was published on January 5, 2021, one day before Jan 6th.
At least a dozen Republican senators have signed on to a last-ditch effort to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election, vowing to object to the electoral vote totals from several swing states when they are certified in a joint session of Congress on Wednesday.
Among those who refuse to accept President-elect Joe Biden's victory over President Trump: Ted Cruz (Tex.), Josh Hawley (Mo.), Marsha Blackburn (Tenn.), Ron Johnson (Wis.), John Kennedy (La.) and James Lankford (Okla.).
That has critics accusing the lawmakers of sedition — inciting rebellion against the authority of the government — and calling for their expulsion. No senator has been expelled since the Civil War, when 14 mostly Southern senators were kicked out by their colleagues.
The fuse had been lit Nov. 6, 1860. Abraham Lincoln won the presidential election despite not being on the ballot in 10 Southern states and earning less than 40 percent of the popular vote.
Four days after the election, the first senator bailed; James Chesnut of South Carolina submitted his resignation in a one-sentence note, which was "accepted enthusiastically" by other lawmakers, according to New York Times coverage.
As states seceded that December and January, more senators followed their states out the door. Some simply didn't show up for the next session; others made formal resignations. Crowds lined up in the frigid dawn to hear Sen. Jefferson Davis's farewell address, during which he made clear he thought secession was justified because he believed Lincoln would end slavery.
The audience wept openly and gave him rapturous applause. A few weeks later, he was president of the Confederacy.
In March, the remaining senators debated what to do about the empty seats. Did they not exist anymore because those states said they were no longer a part of the Union? Or if states were not permitted to secede, then were they merely vacant? They decided on the latter.
Some senators, such as Texas's Louis T. Wigfall, tried to have it both ways, remaining in the Senate even after their states seceded. Wigfall used his perch in Washington to spy on the Union and smuggle weapons South. For a time, he was both a U.S. senator and a member of the Confederate Congress, according to the Texas State Historical Association. Then in April 1861, he rowed into the middle of the action — literally in a boat — at Fort Sumter and into the Civil War.
When the Senate reconvened in July, the remaining members had had enough. Sen. Daniel Clark of New Hampshire proposed a resolution to expel 10 senators on the grounds they were "engaged in a conspiracy for the destruction of the Union and government, or, with full knowledge of such conspiracy, have failed to advise the government of its progress or aid in its suppression."
The Constitution requires a two-thirds majority to expel a member of the Senate. Before this moment, only one senator had been expelled, and more than six decades had passed since that time. The motion passed 32 to 10; those expelled were the two senators each from Arkansas, North Carolina, Texas and Virginia, plus Chesnut of South Carolina and Alfred O.P. Nicholson of Tennessee.
Within seven months, four more were expelled for offering aid to the enemy, including John C. Breckinridge of Kentucky, whom Lincoln had beaten in the 1860 election.
Almost all of the expelled men joined the Confederacy in leadership positions. Four died during or shortly after the war; when the Confederacy surrendered, four escaped to other countries and two were briefly imprisoned. Within a few years, all had resumed distinguished careers, though none ever returned to the Senate.
