President Trump Posts Chilling Meme After Lawless Democrats Vote to Impeach Him For Non-Crimes

 

President Trump posted a chilling meme a few hours after the lawless Democrats voted to impeach him for non-crimes.

 

Democrats voted in a straight party line vote to impeach President Trump for abuse of power on Wednesday night.

 

The second article of impeachment was for ‘Obstruction of Congress.’

 

228 Democrats voted to impeach.

192 Republicans voted against the sham.

 

Democrat Rep Tulsi Gabbard voted “present.”

 

Trump posted the meme Thursday night without a caption to let it speak for itself.

 

“In Reality, They’re Not After Me, They’re After You. I’m Just In the Way”

Pollak: Senate Can Acquit Even If House Withholds Articles of Impeachment

 

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) appears to be considering an idea Democrats have floated for several days of holding back the articles of impeachment to exercise leverage over the Senate and the president.

 

She declined formally to transmit the articles to the Senate on Wednesday evening after the House voted to impeach President Donald Trump.

 

Unfortunately for them, the Senate can act, regardless — and would vote to acquit.

 

That’s because the Constitution is absolutely clear about the Senate’s authority. Article I, Section 3 says: “The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments.”

 

That is all.

 

The Chief Justice presides over a trial involving the president, but the Senate makes the rules. And the Senate is controlled by Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), who regards what the House has done with contempt.

 

You’re in Cocaine Mitch’s court, now.

 

Politico outlined Democrats’ new idea, citing constitutional lawyer Laurence Tribe (but, interestingly, not the Constitution itself). Pelosi hopes to pressure McConnell into holding a “fair trial” — this, after she and her party broke every relevant House rule and precedent, and several Amendments in the Bill of Rights, all in the name of their “sole Power of Impeachment.”

 

They forget that a “fair trial” applies to the accused, not the accuser, and has since 1215.

 

Set aside, for the moment, that holding onto the articles of impeachment would contradict everything Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) and the Democrats have said for weeks about the “urgency” of impeachment. They needed to stop him before he could “cheat in the next election,” we were told — that’s why the House could not wait for the courts to rule on the White House’s resistance to stop congressional subpoenas.

 

All of that would be exposed as a lie.

 

If Pelosi refuses to submit the articles of impeachment to the Senate, McConnell can convene the Senate anyway, summon the Chief Justice, and swear in the Senators as jurors. Democrats can boycott, but they can’t stop the trial.

 

McConnell can then propose to dismiss the charges or even hold a vote to acquit the president.

 

Pelosi can hide the articles of impeachment in Adam Schiff’s basement forever, and it won’t make a bit of difference.

 

Case closed.

NSW fires LIVE updates: State of emergency declared amid worsening bushfires, heatwave

 

3.22pm

At least three homes destroyed in Balmoral, three firefighters hospitalised

 

At least three and possibly many more properties have been lost in the village, nestled in the Bargo State Conservation Area, and three firefighters taken to hospital.

 

Two men have face and airway burns, as well as some to other body parts such as their arms, chest and a leg. A female is suffering from burns and smoke inhalation.

 

The Green Wattle Creek fire suddenly ripped through the area "without warning," an RFS volunteer said. It has crossed the railway line and is extending much further to the east towards Bargo, Tahmoor and places like Pheasants Nest.

 

"The firefighters today have performed absolutely courageously. This is as bad as it gets. We've had gas cylinders exploding, very, very intense fire activity. We're doing as much as we can now to try and save lives," the RFS volunteer said.
