Newsmax.com reports that

The House this week will take up a resolution to impeach President Donald Trump for the second time in less than two years over his actions encouraging a mob that stormed the Capitol, Speaker Nancy Pelosi said.

“In protecting our Constitution and our Democracy, we will act with urgency, because this President represents an imminent threat to both,” Pelosi said in a letter Sunday to House Democrats. “As the days go by, the horror of the ongoing assault on our democracy perpetrated by this President is intensified and so is the immediate need for action.”

Pelosi said Democratic leaders on Monday will request unanimous consent for a separate resolution urging Vice President Mike Pence to convene the cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment to the Constitution “to declare the President incapable of executing the duties of his office.” She said Pence should respond within 24 hours.

More than 200 House Democrats have signed on to co-sponsor an impeachment resolution accusing Trump of “Incitement of Insurrection,” and says he engaged in high crimes and misdemeanors by “willfully inciting violence against the government of the United States” in connection with the storming of the Capitol Wednesday by throngs of his supporters.

The 25th Amendment to the United States Constitution states that

Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.

Thereafter, when the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that no inability exists, he shall resume the powers and duties of his office unless the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive department or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit within four days to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office. Thereupon Congress shall decide the issue, assembling within forty-eight hours for that purpose if not in session. If the Congress, within twenty-one days after receipt of the latter written declaration, or, if Congress is not in session, within twenty-one days after Congress is required to assemble, determines by two-thirds vote of both Houses that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall continue to discharge the same as Acting President; otherwise, the President shall resume the powers and duties of his office.

This amendment was put in place to ensure a legal and aboveboard transfer of power incase the President were to become incapacitated to the point to where he could not fulfill his duties.

It was never meant to be used as a political weapon by one political party to get a president in good health out of the way, disgracing him just days before his term ends.

Speaking of political weapons, regarding Nancy Pelosi’s call to impeach President Trump AGAIN…according to constitution.congress.gov…

At the time of ratification of the Constitution, the phrase high crimes and misdemeanors thus appears understood to have applied to uniquely political offenses, or misdeeds committed by public officials against the state. Alexander Hamilton, in explaining the Constitution’s impeachment provisions, described impeachable offenses as arising from the misconduct of public men, or in other words from the abuse or violation of some public trust. Such offenses were Political, as they relate chiefly to injuries done immediately to the society itself. In the centuries following the Constitution’s ratification, precisely what behavior constitutes a high crime or misdemeanor has been the subject of much debate.

Because of the vagueness of the definition of the phrase “high crimes and misdemeanors”, Pelosi and the rest of the Democrat Elite and the Vichy Republicans are using President Trump’s speech in which he invited the crowd to go and “peacefully protest” in front of the Capitol Building as a means to ensure that he can not run for President in 2024 and kick their butts again.

I cannot even imagine what it must have been like for President Trump and his family to have been subjected to the treatment which they have received since he declared that he was going to run for President.

I have never seen a United States President and his family subjected to the degradation and barbaric treatment which Donald J. Trump and his family have had to endure.

And now, after the Democrats and their Vichy Republican stooges have succeeded in driving Trump from office via means of an obviously rigged election, they want to pile on, in a display of tone-deaf arrogance that makes their cries for “unity” hysterically funny…if they weren’t so maddeningly sickening.

I believe that Pelosi and that bunch of losers who consider themselves to be “the smartest people in the room” are trying to goad average Americans living in the Heartland into another Civil War.

At this point, anything is possible.

Coup 2.0: Pelosi to Introduce Bill to Establish an “Oversight Committee on Presidential Capacity” to Try to Use the 25th Amendment to Remove Trump

FoxNews.com reports that

Republicans were baffled by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s Thursday suggestion that she might introduce a bill allowing a body appointed by Congress to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove President Trump from office as he recovers from the novel coronavirus.

The 25th Amendment allows for the vice president to become acting president if it is determined that the president “is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office.” Currently, the vice president and cabinet can invoke that amendment.

“Tomorrow, by the way, tomorrow, come here tomorrow,” Pelosi said. “We’re going to be talking about the 25th Amendment.”

Pelosi was referring to a bill she will unveil Friday with Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., that would allow Congress to establish a permanent body to determine whether the president is fit for office: an Oversight Commission on Presidential Capacity. The bill is expected to reflect legislation that Raskin introduced in 2017.

Still, Pelosi would have to convince Senate Republicans to go along with it. Plus, Vice President Mike Pence would also have to sign the declaration as well, which would be highly unlikely.

Trump fired back at “Crazy Nancy” on Twitter. “Crazy Nancy is the one who should be under observation,” he said. “They don’t call her Crazy for nothing!”

Trump said during a FOX Business interview Thursday morning that he is “feeling good,” and does not believe he is “contagious at all.”

Rep. Doug Collins, R-Ga., noted previous attempts by Pelosi to remove Trump from office.

“@SpeakerPelosi will stop at NOTHING to take down @realDonaldTrump,” he wrote on Twitter. “First it was the Russia hoax, then sham impeachment. Now she’s trying to invoke the 25th amendment because he… fully recovered from the coronavirus? We won’t let her get away with it.”

“Congressional Democrats have not stopped their quest to remove President @realDonaldTrump from office since the day he was sworn into office, working night and day to overturn the will of Americans,” Rep. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., wrote on Twitter. “Here is another installment of their pathetic series.”

“The person who is third in line to the nuclear codes but was “setup” by her hair salon wants to have a conversation about the 25th amendment… Good one,” the president’s son, Donald Trump Jr., wrote on Twitter.

“I wouldn’t put it past @SpeakerPelosi to stage a coup,” Rep. Mark Green, R-Tenn., said. “She has already weaponized impeachment, what’s to keep her from weaponizing the 25th amendment?”

“I think that the public needs to know the health condition of the President,” Pelosi said. “There’s one question that he refused to answer … when was his last negative test?” Pelosi said that this information is necessary in order to “make a judgment about the actions that were taken after that.”

The word “delusional” does not even begin to cover San Fran Nan’s s Superiority Complex and her tone-deafness when it comes to average Americans’ wishes.

Nancy Pelosi’s station in life defies logic.

As she has shown us for decades and for the last four years especially, she has to be the most tone deaf aristocrat since Marie Antoinette, who, when supposedly asked about the starving rabble in France, quipped,

Let them eat cake!

There are two possibilities for Pelosi’s misjudgment of the American People:

For her to completely brush off the plight of America’s small business owners, their employees, and and average American citizens, who could really use another $1,200 Stimulus Relief Payout, does not just “strain” credulity…it stomps that sucker flat.

She has been so sheltered from us “rabble” during all of those years up on Capitol Hill, that she simply is clueless to the daily lives of average Americans and how we feel on the issues of the day. Or…
She, like the Presidential Candidate of her political Party, Joe Biden, is a victim of galloping dementia.

The brilliant Conservative Economist, Dr. Thomas Sowell, once wrote,

…Perhaps the most remarkable feature of the world envisioned by today’s liberals is that it is a world where other people just passively accept whatever “change” liberals impose. In the world of Liberal Land, you can just take for granted all the benefits of the existing society, and then simply tack on your new, wonderful ideas that will make things better.

As I have written previously, Pelosi and her compatriots are holding up giving additional money to America’s small businesses and average Americans in order to leverage for add-ons to the bill which will strictly be political pork to the Democrats’ handpicked special interest groups,like those who are in our Sovereign Nation illegally.

Like the money they added to the first Stimulus Package for the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.

Liberal Ideas always cost taxpayer money…and they never make things better for the average American.

President Ronald Reagan once famously said,

It isn’t so much that liberals are ignorant. It’s just that they know so many things that aren’t so.

A quotation which also helps to explain Pelosi’s gross overestimation of the popularity of Liberal Ideals among Average Americans here in “Flyover Country”.

Pelosi’s continued denial of the fact that Americans rejected the political ideology of the Democrats and voted for change in the 2016 Presidential Election appears to be a part of an alternative reality that she and the rest of the “Special Snowflakes” who voted for Hillary Clinton and who compose the Far Left Base of the Modern Democratic Party, have transformed themselves into, considering all they have done during the past almost 4 years since the election is to try to damage President Donald J. Trump and remove him from office by any means necessary including, now it seems, attempting to misuse the 25th Amendment.

The pain of their frustration is so immense over Clinton’s loss that they have created a reality in which Clinton actually beat Trump, one in which their embracing of the tenets of Marxism has won the hearts and minds of the American People.

Their undersized medulla oblongotas and oversized craniums will not allow them to accept the fact that Americans completely rejected their candidate, Hillary Clinton, and their Political Ideology on that fateful day in November….and are about to do it again on November 3rd by reelecting President Donald J. Trump.

So, they have retreated to that alternative reality, where they can feed and ride their unicorns somewhere over the rainbow and where they will find rest in their “Safe Space”.

If “Marie Antoinette” Pelosi and all of her cronies  believe that Americans will simply stand by and allow them to commit treasonous sedition against a sitting President of the United States of America, they grossly overestimate themselves.

They also have forgotten how stupid they looked after their failed attempt at impeaching the President.

Her and her fellow members of the Democratic Elite have once again allowed their own arrogance to blind them as to their unpopularity with American voters.

However, they are in for a rude awakening.
