Democrats will move to pressure vice president Mike Pence to invoke the 25th amendment and remove Donald Trump from office. This seems ridiculous considering Trump has a mere 9 days left as president. So the real question should be: why bother?
If Joe Biden won a “free and fair election” and Trump has said that an “orderly” transfer of power will occur, why would democrats even need to waste their time trying to remove him from office? According to the Wall Street Journal, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi says she will introduce a resolution on Monday; “We will act with urgency.”
Mr. Pence isn’t expected to move forward with a 25th Amendment process, people familiar with his thinking 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 to her Democratic colleagues, according to CNN. “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.”
No matter which articles you read, the only reason to push through impeachment in the last 9 days of Trump’s administration is his “inciting” of the riots and protests on January 6th at the Capitol. Again, with only 9 days to go, there’s almost nothing Trump can do at this time and the social media giants have already taken out his means of communicating with the public.
Democrats are justifying the unprecedented push for a second impeachment on the grounds that after his most flagrant abuse of power yet, Trump presents a stark danger to the country and the world and must be removed immediately. Another motivating factor is that a conviction in a Senate trial would likely bar Trump from ever seeking public office again. They parry critiques that such a late-term impeachment would be academic by arguing that Trump’s crime against the Constitution cannot go unpunished. –CNN
If there is success in the impeachment of Trump, he will not be able to seek any public office ever again. Perhaps that’s the goal. However, we all know elections are selections (that should be obvious by now) and they’ll put whoever they want in power, so what’s the point?
This might be all a distraction to cause more division. Keep your eyes on issues such as this. There’s a bigger reason for the impeachment of Trump than they are telling us. There’s a reason and we should be asking these questions.

““In protecting our Constitution and our Democracy [“DEMOCRACY”], we will act with urgency, because this President represents an imminent threat to both,” Pelosi…”
Not sure what “democratic” nation she is talking about, as it cannot be the USA, which is a CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC, with only 1 (one) partially democratic process – voting.
I have an idea of why she, and many others who serve within our governments – state and federal – refer to them as a “democractic” form of government so that those who are ignorant that what those who serve within our government can do not only have LIMITED authority, but what authority they are allowed to use is found in writing within the US Constitution (all must follow it) and within each state’s Constitution. If the American people think we are a “democracy” then those serving within our governments will not need to keep to the written powers/authority. But by doing so are they not working from within to destroy our lawful government – a “domestic enemy”? It is written so that the people, and those who serve as the people’s representatives within government always can know what is allowed, what is allowed only under certain conditions, and what is forbidden to those who serve within our governments.
Patrick Henry: “The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government — lest it come to dominate our lives and interests.”
“A constitution is designated as a supreme enactment, a fundamental act of legislation by the people of the state. A constitution is legislation direct from the people acting in their sovereign capacity, while a statute is legislation from their representatives, subject to limitations prescribed by the superior authority.” Ellingham v. Dye, 231 U. S. 250.
Pence is going to jail, being replaced by Flynn and Trump will be inaugurated in the WH.
Trump was a political upstart that won the presidency having never held an elected office and did a better job than any other lifelong politicians since Eisenhower. The Never Trumpers are those that have lusted for the Presidency, failed to win and never attained it, Christie, Romney, and Schwarzenegger who was not born here and can never be President. Throw in the failed Democrats like H. Clinton or the never had that support like Pelosi and you see it is a warning to any other political upstart that does not climb through the two major parties. We will destroy you, well will destroy everyone that supports you, and we will destroy your friends and family if you even try. That people is what this is about.
@James,totally agree.I think they never,ever expected Trump to win the presidency against Hillary.They did everything they could since then to make his existence a living hell.These fuckers threw everything but the kitchen sink at him during his 4 years.Yet,tons of folks still voted for him this time around.These assholes are just mad he got in there.Like you said,the message is: do things our way through our corrupt system or you will be absolutely crushed.Trump was the anti establishment guy that so many people absolutely loved,so,the evil Democrats,fascists,and socialists did everything to take him down(legal and not so legal tactics).As we all know by now – these group of evil bastards will stop at nothing to get what they want -absolutely nothing!!
