Nope, he will not hide from it, but instead broadcast it as he will use it as a way to dupe his supporters out of additional donations, thus enriching himself.

Impeachement part 2 has officially begun.

https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/11/polit...ans/index.html

Quote:
House Democrats formally introduced their resolution to impeach President Donald Trump on Monday, charging him with "incitement of insurrection" for his role in last week's riots at the US Capitol.

The impeachment resolution that the House is poised to vote on later this week is the Democrats' first step toward making Trump the first president in history to be impeached twice.

Democrats also tried to move a resolution Monday urging Vice President Mike Pence to invoke the 25th Amendment to remove Trump from power, but House Republicans blocked the request.

The single impeachment article, which was introduced when the House gaveled into a brief pro-forma session Monday, points to Trump's repeated false claims that he won the election and his speech to the crowd on January 6 before pro-Trump rioters breached the Capitol. It also cited Trump's call with the Georgia Republican secretary of state where the President urged him to "find" enough votes for Trump to win the state.

"In all this, President Trump gravely endangered the security of the United States and its institutions of Government," the resolution says. "He threatened the integrity of the democratic system, interfered with the peaceful transition of power, and imperiled a coequal branch of Government. He thereby betrayed his trust as President, to the manifest injury of the people of the United States."

The resolution, which was introduced by Democrats David Cicilline of Rhode Island, Jamie Raskin of Maryland and Ted Lieu of California, also cited the Constitution's 14th Amendment, noting that it "prohibits any person who has 'engaged in insurrection or rebellion against' the United States" from holding office.

Do you feel any responsibility for enabling the president?

I feel.... yada yada.. Trump has changed I did nothing wrong. These people don't understand accountability or leadership.

The weirdest part of this one for me - the kids in cages were a lot worse under trump than Obama?

Response: This is a difference in policy.

Sounds like Trump will be awarding the Medal of Freedom to Bill Belichick on Thursday. No word on if he'll be there to personally accept it like those other two morons, Annika Sorenstam and Gary Player.

This screams to me Trump is trying to find friends.
His "supporters" that are of influence are leaving and he is hoping to associate himself with other people he thinks are respected.

Why are lawyers advising Trump not to pardon himself?
Is it because that would be seen as an admission of guilt?

Pence and his staff are incensed that Trump never cared and didn’t check on their safety when Pence, his wife and daughter were caught in the Capitol during the siege.

Well sure. I'm not a mind reader. But I can hardly think of any politicians I know more about than Nancy and experience points to crocodile tears and political grandstanding.

I don't mind. You're entitled to your opinion.

I don't care how old she is and I don't inexplicably dislike her. I have very good reasons. I'll talk about bad people however I want. Good people too. I've called many politicians many mean things, including Nancy. The events at the capitol won't change that.

You're also wrong that I have no idea who she is as a person. She's been a public figure for decades. I probably know more about her than any other elected official in the United States.

Logically, it makes a lot of sense for the Republicans to support impeachment. It removes the Trump factor for 2024. Why TF would you want to risk that buffoon losing you an election?

What an oddly specific time tonight for his presidency to end.

Also, when I go there it says 22 seconds not 54.

Narcissists gonna narcissist.

Did they believe he was ever capable of empathy? It's a foreign concept to him. Like human emotion to a machine.

Donald Trump is the only one that exists in Donald Trump's world. I'd wager that he would send Eric to Guantanamo without hesitation if it could get him his Twitter handle back.
