Trump lucky the Mike Pence is an honorable dude and won’t expose him. I wish this was one time Pence would be petty
But we know Pence probably throw in under the buss despite Trump fucking him over
I get what you are trying to say, but Pence has been enabling dude for 4 years too...
Hard to expose Trump without exposing himself at the same time.
Can someone edit and insert the David Banner beat when she says "patriots down on the floor." Or Show meeeee!!!

You can tell Pence was happy they loss election. He couldn’t wait to certify those results
There was nothing Pence could have done or said to Trump to prevent him from doing what he wanted to do.
These politicians are going to find Post-Trump is going to be hard. THey are FOREVER stained with their attachment to that piece of crap. People and their rivals will never let them forget it.
Worst, We haven't learned 99% of the stuff that was going on in the WH. Give it a few weeks/months after Trump leaves office and all that information starts coming out. It's going to make it worst for them considering they knew about all of it and still did nothing.
Cats like Romney, to a small degree, are the only ones that can kinda hold there heads up high after Trump. One of the only top GOP people that publically spoke out against Trump. The rest were silent as mouse and complicit.
Lady G is already trying the bullshit "Let's just move on" strategy...No bitch! That's not going to work.
What part of corporations are evil don’t you understand? You deserve nothing. Good day, sir.
I am hearing on the radio right now that Nancy Pelosi is going to organise
a conference call to guage the temperature of an impeachment resolution
among her conference. Rep Bennie Thompson D-Miss is on the phone
saying a vote could take place next week.
It is not just that he threatened their lives, but it is the fact he trampled
on the dignity and authority of Congress.
Who thinks that there are not enough Republicans who would vote to kick
Trump out. I think that some senior Republicans walk up to him and tell him
that he is over.
They also just announced that Nebraska Senator Ben Sasse has said that he
would look at this differently from the way he did in January.

Gauge!?!? Impeach him now.
They are not in Washington, and are not scheduled to come back until the 19th.
Among many things, this mitigates the efficacy of invoking another Order 66,
as happened on January 6.
But they are also ceding the space for the consideration of an invocation of the
25th Amendment. As Pelosi said, if that does not happen, she "may" call for an
impeachment.
Oh shit... Now I feel horrible.

Democrats speed toward Trump's impeachment

Democrats speed toward Trump's impeachment
House Democrats are moving quickly toward impeaching President Donald Trump as early next week, a reflection of the seething outrage that remains over his incitement of deadly riots inside the U.S. Capitol.
Rep. Clark: House could vote on impeachment by 'mid-next week'
Timing remains in flux and Speaker Nancy Pelosi has yet to make a decision on exactly how to proceed, including whether to pursue a constitutional process that could remove Trump without impeachment. Top Democrats are still in talks with all their members and will hold a caucus-wide call at noon. But they are expected to decide today on their next steps, according to several lawmakers and aides.
Even if the House does impeach Trump, it's far from clear the GOP-controlled Senate would act before his presidency runs out in 12 days.
House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn told POLITICO on Friday that articles of impeachment could be drafted imminently.
“I believe we should have our articles of impeachment prepared over the weekend. Judiciary ought to be ready to file them on Monday and we ought to be ready to vote for them as soon as they’re ready to put it on the floor," the South Carolina Democrat said.
Asked if he thought there would be a critical mass of members to support fast-tracking it, Clyburn. ”Oh I think so and I think it’ll be bipartisan.”
Rep. Katherine Clark, the assistant House speaker, also predicted Friday that the full chamber could vote by the middle of next week. Other Democrats said it could happen sooner.
“Donald Trump needs to be removed from office, and we are going to proceed with every tool that we have to make sure that that happens to protect our democracy,” Clark (D-Mass.) told CNN.
After treading cautiously before impeaching Trump in 2019 over his pressure campaign against Ukraine, Democrats are moving rapidly in the waning days of Trump’s presidency — fueled by a fiery anger over Trump’s role in the deadly assault on the Capitol that left one U.S. Capitol Police officer and four others dead, and forced hundreds of lawmakers to flee from violence while insurrectionists occupied their offices and both chambers of Congress.
Pelosi herself — who watched rioters invade her office, use her computer and take selfies in her chair — is irate, calling Trump’s conduct an act of “treason” in a call with her leadership team on Thursday night. She and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer called on Vice President Mike Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove Trump and said if he did not act, they would move to impeach.
Two sets of articles of impeachment have already been drafted, and Democratic leaders have coalesced behind those led by Rep. David Cicilline (D-R.I.), a member of the House Judiciary Committee. That proposal says Trump deserves removal — and would permanently bar him from public office — for “willfully inciting violence against the government of the United States.” The resolution also accuses Trump of improperly pressuring Georgia’s secretary of state to overturn President-elect Joe Biden’s victory on false pretenses.
One focus for Cicilline and other top Democrats in the coming days will be recruiting House Republicans to buck their party and their president on the floor. Democrats believe the GOP will have at least one defection: Rep. Adam Kinzinger (D-Ill.), who became the first House Republican to call for Trump to be removed from office through the 25th Amendment.
Moderate Democrats — which are a critical faction in Pelosi’s caucus, particularly with the much tighter margins this Congress — privately say they still prefer an approach centered on the 25th Amendment. But it’s unlikely they would block a path to impeachment, if that is what Pelosi chooses, according to several sources familiar with their thinking.
One issue for Pelosi: her majority is much smaller than when the House impeached Trump in December 2019. Back then, an intense effort to unify the caucus led to only two defections. Some Democrats are also wary of impeaching Trump — just days after spasms of violence rocked the Capitol — amid an uncertain security environment, particularly as authorities are preparing to secure Biden’s Jan. 20 inauguration.
House Democrats have extremely limited time to launch the proceedings against the president, if they intend to remove him before his term expires. Democrats have discussed ways to further fast track the process, including bringing impeachment articles directly to the floor.
Though it typically runs through the House Judiciary Committee, the panel has not yet been formally organized and its chairman, Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.), along with other key members, say the impeachment articles will need to go straight to the House floor.
If Democrats pass articles early next week — and Pelosi immediately sent them to the Senate — the Senate would be required to begin a trial immediately under congressional rules. Trump’s first impeachment trial, on charges he abused his power and obstructed a congressional investigation, ultimately lasted four weeks before the Senate delivered its verdict.
That timetable suggests the goal of any impeachment is unlikely to be Trump’s removal and is much more focused on the option to prevent him from holding federal office in the future. Some Democrats believe that possibility could woo Senate Republicans, some of whom are eyeing a 2024 bid themselves.
Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.) said Friday that he would consider Trump’s removal depending on how it plays out in the House.
"The House, if they come together and have a process, I will definitely consider whatever articles they might move,” Sasse said in an interview with “CBS This Morning” on Friday. "What he did was wicked.”
Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), another potential White House aspirant who opposed Trump's effort to challenge Biden's electoral votes, declined to comment to reporters in the Capitol Friday. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's office also declined to comment.
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), however, said a last-minute attempt to impeach Trump would backfire.
"Any attempt to impeach President Trump would not only be unsuccessful in the Senate but would be a dangerous precedent for the future of the presidency," Graham, the chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said.
Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) said in an interview that he would support any legal remedy to removing Trump, but cast doubts on both removal through the impeachment process and the 25th Amendment.
“For the safety of our nation and the sake of our nation and also our international standing, it'd be best if President Trump left immediately. So whatever ways,” Manchin said. “If you say impeachment, we've already voted to impeach once. Are there 20 other Republican senators that will vote to impeach now?”
Manchin, once one of the few Senate Democrats who tried to work with Trump, said it would be far more realistic to have Cabinet members speak out against the president and for Twitter to unplug his account.
Top Democrats are still discussing the 25th Amendment path, though it became far less likely after Pence rejected calls to remove Trump from power with the support of him and the Cabinet. Democrats could still choose to pursue a bill from Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), which would create an outside commission to recommend Trump’s removal, possibly including former presidents. Other Democrats, though, have said that approach would fail because Pence would still need to agree to the panel’s findings in order to remove Trump.
Scores of congressional Democrats — as well as numerous former federal officials, some governors and at least two Republican House members — have all called for Trump’s immediate removal from office, either by impeachment or the Cabinet’s invocation of the 25th Amendment.
Dozens of those House Democrats sent a letter to Pelosi, House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer and House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn on Wednesday urging them not to take the House's scheduled recess next week.
“We are the only branch of government that is capable of governing this country and led by sane and competent people,” the letter, which was led by Rep. Tom Malinowski (D-N.J.), reads. “Going home and staying home until the eve of President Biden’s inauguration should not be an option.”

North Texas lawyer who videoed, participated in Capitol riot fired from his job

FORT WORTH
A North Texas lawyer has been fired by his employer after he was seen on video outside the Capitol building along with hundreds of other supporters of President Trump on Wednesday.
Social media posts identified the attorney as Paul Davis, who was an associate general counsel and director of human resources at Goosehead Insurance, a company based in Westlake.
When contacted Thursday morning, a message on Goosehead Insurance’s voicemail said, ”The Goosehead employee involved at the Capitol is no longer employed.”
Goosehead also said in a Tweet Thursday morning that, “Paul Davis, Associate General Counsel, is no longer employed by Goosehead.”
Davis could not be reached Thursday for comment.
On Wednesday, Davis posted a video on Instagram saying that he was outside the Capitol building and he had just been tear-gassed. The video was shared on Twitter by Roger Sollenberger, a staff writer at Salon.
“That was not fun,” Davis said on the video.
“All we want is an actual audit of ballots and the Dominion machines,” he wrote in the captions of the video. “Our politicians could end all of the unrest in two days with a legitimate audit, but they won’t allow it. Why?
Davis said Trump supporters were trying to get into the Capitol to stop Congress from certifying President-elect Joe Biden’s victory. Members of the mob eventually scaled walls and smashed windows at the U.S. Capitol, breaching police lines to lay siege to the iconic legislature and force a temporary halt to the constitutional process of affirming the results of the presidential election.
“They are tear-gassing us,” Davis said on the video. “It’s not acceptable.”
