The House of Representatives voted today to impeach President Donald Trump for a second time in a swift and bipartisan condemnation of the President’s role inciting last week’s riot at the US Capitol.
The House voted 232 to 197 to impeach Trump exactly one week after rioters forced lawmakers to flee from the very chamber in which they cast ballots in the fourth presidential impeachment in US history — and the first time a President has been impeached twice. Ten Republicans, including the House’s No. 3 Republican, Liz Cheney of Wyoming, joined with Democrats to impeach Trump for “incitement of insurrection.”
While the vote won’t force Trump from office — the Senate trial isn’t expected to begin until after President-elect Joe Biden is sworn in next week — the vote was a visceral response from lawmakers in both parties furious at Trump after a deadly pro-Trump mob overran Capitol Police, ransacked the US Capitol and put the lives of Vice President Mike Pence and lawmakers in danger last week.
“We know that the President of the United States incited this insurrection, this armed rebellion against our common country,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said on the House floor ahead of the vote. “He must go. He is a clear and present danger to the nation that we all love.” CNN.com

Completely embarrassing!
Worst part is some Jews voted for this embarrassment of a president.
But B”h he will soon be gone. And his tainted legacy will be but a bad memory
Totally agree. I know we have to be makir tov, but, let’s face it, to continue hocking like white-trash meshuggeners to defend the indefensible and collect fiction from right-wing sites to do so is like building a statue to Achashverosh just because he married Esther.
Jealous?
She most definitely is a threat to our democracy
What occurred on January 6 was ABSOLUTELY NOT any kind of riot or armed rebellion!! On the contrary, the over three million people who gathered in the vast malls of central Washington conducted a glaringly peaceful, immensely honored demonstration. President Trump’s speech — I heard it — did not whip up any violent frenzies or incite any insurrections. What it did say was that we are strongly opposed to this obviously fabricated so-called “election,” and so we must fight against it. Yes, he did say the word “fight,” because we most certainly do need to FIGHT this evil tyranny. Obviously, this “fight” is not with using clubs & boxing gloves; rather, with our large presence before the members of the Congress and our strong passionately declared demands for simple justice.
Then, very tragically though, at the Capitol complex, a large number of severely wicked ANTIFA thugs — many of whom dressed themselves to look like Trump supporters — forced through barricades & smashed windows & wildly broke into the building. At this, many of the (real) Trump supporters who were right there, understandably, followed them inside, and, in the chaotic atmosphere, also shouted and acted a good bit rowdy.
But, besides all the Antifa guys, how many actual Trump supporters were there who joined in, in this — NO, I will NOT call it a “storming,” rather — a “running into” the Capitol building??? One hundred?? Two Hundred?? Three hundred?? Even IF it was FIVE hundred (which it obviously was not), 500 people out of a vast 3,000,000 people, all the rest of whom did act completely honorably, that is just ONE SIX THOUSANDTH (1/6,000 th) of the huge group that did not act quite so honorably!!
Of course though, if it was even just ONE person out of a group of even TEN million people who acted wrong, that is still certainly wrong!! So the two hundred or how ever many people it was who acted wrong with following in with the wild Antifa operatives and got a bit wild themselves, certainly did wrong. PRESIDENT TRUMP HIMSELF — several times — sharply denounced them, and all the big reporters of the “alternative” media similarly denounced them.
However, all those wrong rowdy wild behaviors that did occur there were still NOTHING EVEN REMOTELY like any kind of what could be called a “riot” or an “insurrection”!!
Again, all those wrong rowdy wild behaviors that did occur at the Capitol, were still NOTHING EVEN REMOTELY like any kind of what could be called a “riot” or an “insurrection”!! And they were most certainly not even one one thousandth of one one thousandth of the countless horrific hyper-riot-mega-storms that countless severely wicked Antifa & Black Lives Matter gutter-slime-thugs terrorized in countless American cities through this last summer.
Yet those Antifa & BLM hyper riots — in which the gutter-slime-thugs occupied and held for days police stations and even whole several-block-sections of city downtowns, and in which they bashed down and turned over and ignited countless automobiles, and in which they ignited and burned down whole blocks of city buildings, and in which they smashed in store windows and stole from there countless TV’s & radios & computers & other merchandise, and in which they shinned laser lights at policemen’s faces and threw huge bricks at passer-byes, killing many people — were NOT condemned at all by the Holy, Holy, Holy Saint Nancy Pelosi, or the Holy, Holy, Holy Saint Chuck Schumer or the Holy, Holy, Holy Saint A.O.C. or any of the other Holy, Holy, Holy Saints of the Holy Tribunal of Saints. On the contrary, Saint A.O.C. and others openly declared how we must understand and respect and support the rioter’s rightful grievances.
Yet, in response to the Jan 6 capitol run in — which, again, everyone, including President Trump, said was very, very wrong, but was, relatively, quite a “small” wild incident — in response to this relatively small wild run in — in which almost all of the “wild” part of it WAS NOT EVEN DONE by any of the Trump people — the Holy, Holy Saints Tribunal and all its associate (ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, FOX, Twitter, Facebook, NY Times, etc., etc.) “Botei Dinim,” with the “Av Beis Din” (or is it the “AIM Beis Din”), Holy Holy Holy, Saint Nancy Pelosi, in the lead, exploded out in super-super-super nuclear fury:
This was “Pearl Harbor #2”!! This was “armed rebellion”!! This was “insurrection”!! This was “sickening”!!
Trump “is a clear and present danger”!! He “is an imminent threat”!! He is not fit to serve!!
Invoke the 25th Amendment!! He must go!! He must go right now!! He must go right, right now!!
Several members of the White House staff and other officials of the administration resigned:
“We didn’t sign up for what you saw last night” one of them sharply quipped.
The “mainstream” major online Internet social media realms of Amazon, Facebook, Twitter expelled not only President Trump’s accounts, but the accounts of any person who in any way had supported him.
Strong proclamations were announced that THE CHILDREN of people who had in any way supported Trump MUST BE REMOVED from their “terrible” “mentally imbalanced” “dangerous” parents to be “re-educated” in special training camps so that they will know to never vote for any candidate like him.
Again: Antifa’s & BLM’s massive-hyper-violent-torching of vast areas of countless American cities was fully OK, but a small wild run-in of the Capitol building — where the Trump people were not even the ones who did the wild stuff — gets massive calls to lynch not only President Trump but also anyone who in any way supported him and even anyone who can in any way be termed “Conservative”!!
This is glaringly far, far, far BEYOND just a cruel, mean “double-standard.”
This is glaringly far, far, far BEYOND just a cruel, mean extreme exaggeration and distortion of an incident to the point of being a total outright lie
This is glaringly far, far, far BEYOND just a cruel, mean blaming and penalizing an entire large group for some very bad things that a tiny minority of the group did
This is glaringly far, far, far BEYOND just a cruel, mean blaming and penalizing individual people and entire large groups of people for crimes that they never committed
Rather, this is a glaringly clear presentation of the cruel, mean, sinister, outright, pure evil that is, RACHMANA LITZLAN, facing and threatening us and our whole country and, really, the whole world. Again, we must try as much as we can to do T’shuva and beg Heshem to save us and bring Moshiach Tzidkaynu and the Geula Shelayma, Bimhayra Biyamaynu!!
