I’m looking for a statement that the charge by Pelosi for tRump to be removed by Pence has been rejected.
Or perhaps they’re doing both impeachment and demanding the 25th at the same time…

“Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA) announced on Monday that an article of impeachment against President Trump for ‘incitement of insurrection’ has been formally introduced in the House.”

This is a good start, but TBH, I’m kind of disappointed it didn’t include a second count of “being a dick”.

If this is not an impeachable offense, what the hell is?

If he was a dick, he would have been shipped to the Bundy Bunch.

He is an ass.

So the charge should be “Being an Ass.”

They could not get unanimous consent to bring up the 25th resolution quickly so it will be brought up tomorrow. I don’t know if that means they will hold for another 24 hours before voting on impeachment.

Not a blowjob.

Lying about a blowjob was the charge.

Over heard two white male co-workers, both welders. Talking about if, I assume, the 25th is invoked and the grid gets shut down. One said if that happens he’s leaving here, stopping to pick up his dad and and heading somewhere, didn’t catch where. And all I could think is goddamn there are some batshit crazy mofos all around! JFC!

If they met in the middle of the night to count votes, they can met in the middle of night for this.

I’m sure it was considered, but there was probably a bit of a hang-up figuring out which specific statute that fell afoul of.

“Twice-impeached one-term ex-president Donald Trump…”
OK, historians, there’s your template for beginning your chapter on the failed white-nationalist accidental U.S. president number 45. “He who shall not be named” should be used for all further mentions.
