A House resolution calling on Vice President Mike Pence to invoke his constitutional authority to remove President Donald Trump from office was blocked on Monday by Republicans the Sedition Party. These traitors to their country are still protecting their criminal “Dear Leader” hold up in the White House. They should face expulsion from the House.
The AP reports:
Democrats in the House are pushing Pence and the Cabinet to oust Trump, saying he is unfit for office after encouraging a protest march that turned into a mob that ransacked the U.S. Capitol in a deadly siege.
Republicans The Sedition Party refused to allow a vote on the Pence measure Monday, although a vote still could occur as early as Tuesday.
Pence has given no indication he is ready to proceed on such a course, which would involve invoking the 25th Amendment to the Constitution, including a vote by a majority of the Cabinet to oust Trump before he leaves office on Jan. 20. Democratic President-elect Joe Biden will be sworn in on that date.
With just days left in Trump’s presidency, the House also is preparing to impeach Trump this week. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is trying first to put pressure on Republicans to tell Trump it’s time to go.
Trump would face a single charge — “incitement of insurrection” — over the riot at the U.S. Capitol, according to a draft of the articles obtained by The Associated Press.
Lawmakers are set to introduce the Article of Impeachment on Monday, with voting mid-week.
The four-page impeachment bill draws from Trump’s own false statements about his election defeat to Biden; his pressure on state officials in Georgia to “find” him more votes; and his White House rally ahead of the Capitol siege, in which he encouraged thousands of supporters to “fight like hell” before they stormed the building on Wednesday.
A violent mob of Trump [domestic terrorists] overpowered police, broke through security lines and windows and rampaged through the Capitol, forcing lawmakers to scatter as they were finalizing Biden’s victory over Trump in the Electoral College.
“President Trump gravely endangered the security of the United States and its institutions of Government,” the legislation said.
The bill from Reps. David Cicilline of Rhode Island, Ted Lieu of California, Jamie Raskin of Maryland and Jerrold Nadler of New York, said Trump threatened “the integrity of the democratic system, interfered with the peaceful transition of power” and “betrayed” trust.
“He will remain a threat to national security, democracy, and the Constitution if allowed to remain in office,” they wrote.
Donald Trump’s enablers, co-conspirators and accessories to his criminality in Congress also “remain a threat to national security, democracy, and the Constitution if allowed to remain in office.” They must all be removed and disqualified from holding office.

I thought the Repugs were calling for unity in this time of crisis. Oh wait, they mean unity within their own caucus so they can continue engaging in seditious acts, or at least condoning them.
Guys, guys, it’s all a misunderstanding, I just checked in with Fox News, turns out it was the Dems who incited the riots, because they impeached President Doll Hair last year.
That made MAGAs mad and of course it led to the MAGAs beating an American police officer to death with an American flag on the steps of the Capitol of the United States of America.
Duh.
The Party of Personal Responsibility refuses to take responsibility.
To dredge up a classic Repug mindset: Responsibility for thee but not for me.
