Congress' Democratic leaders warned of impeaching President Trump if his Cabinet doesn't invoke the 25th Amendment to remove him. Either way, there may not be time.

A protest is “the act of objecting or a gesture of disapproval,” according to Merriam-Webster Dictionary. The 1st Amendment of the U.S. Constitution protects the right of people to assemble for peaceful protest.Sedition, or seditious conspiracy, is defined in U.S. law as conduct or language inciting rebellion against the authority of a state, including the use of “force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States.

The bedlam in the Capitol also unsettled party leaders attending the winter meeting of the Republican National Committee in Florida. When RNC Chair Ronna McDaniel discussed the riot, she was so upset she cried, according to two sources at the meeting. But when Trump called into the meeting Thursday, he did not mention the violence. While some cheered him, others remained silent.

“The vice president demonstrated yesterday that he was in charge, that he was demonstrating leadership,” Jon Thompson, a former Pence advisor, said Thursday. “I don’t think we can say the same thing for President Trump.”The relief when Trump finally leaves office will be bipartisan, but many Democrats seeking his early removal privately are resigned they’ll probably have to wait until Inauguration Day.

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler said the articles of impeachment lodging charges against Trump should be brought to the floor immediately, bypassing his panel. With the House adjourned, members were discussing whether to try to persuade Democratic leaders to call members back to vote.The risk of House Democrats moving quickly to impeach the president is that it could tarnish the action if hearings are not held and Trump is not given time to respond.

A statement from Biden’s transition team said he and Harris “will leave it to Vice President Pence, the Cabinet and the Congress to act as they see fit.”The two Democrats instead focused Thursday on their promise to restore the rule of law by appointing leaders at the Justice Department who will not answer to them, but to the Constitution.

What a fn theater. Congress finally feels as threatened & vulnerable as regular Americans do on a DAILY basis. This is revenge pure & simple.

Freedom for Julian Assange the truth is not a crime Where are the future heroes that I have not heard in history documentaries The only heroes who have been fighting for our freedom are the people and the people alway come back

Yes. Plenty.

It is the Democrat party and media such as CNN that has blood on it's hands. When something is suppressed it must find a way to be heard. You played yourselves

Y’all mad a woman is shot dead while storming a Capitol building but don’t care when a woman is shot dead while sleeping in her own house? 🤔

All the 'acting' just happened. All these howls from filthy Democrats already achieved their goal. You can stop the act now.
