Once again, the lawless Democrat controlled Congress have chosen to dismiss the United States Constitution and proceed with a second impeachment trial of former President, Donald J. Trump.
The Constitution is clear, this an unconstitutional action, mostly done to show the American people we do not matter, and our system of government has been relegated to a Banana Republic status.
The United States Constitution, Article 2, Section 4, states: “The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors”
First off, President Trump is no longer the sitting president, therefore impeachment under the Constitution is not a viable avenue. President Trump left office on January 20th as specified in the 20th Amendment. So, once again, the impeachment trial is unconstitutional and illegal. It is so unconstitutional, not even the left leaning U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts would preside over it.
The unelected dictator in the White House obviously does not care about the Constitution, otherwise he would have asked his Democrat controlled legislature to stop this circus and move on to more pressing issues.
Only an unintelligent person would believe what happened at the Capitol Building on January 6, 2021, was because of President Trump. What happened at the Capitol was a failure of law enforcement, the intelligence community, and a minority of reckless individuals. Video evidence has shown most of these people were allowed inside the building by the same law enforcement officers in charge of protecting the Capitol.
Many Americans present were exercising their rights as free Americans to assemble and peacefully demonstrate. At no point in the President’s speech, did he ask for his supporters to storm the Capitol or cause harm, anybody who speaks to the contrary is lying.
This is the lie the Democrat controlled Congress is using to justify an impeachment trial on a President who has already left office.
As a professional law enforcement officer, I could see the people climbing the walls and destroying property. These were not every day Americans; these were professional agitators in the mold of Antifa and other domestic disruptive groups. To say these people were “White Supremacists” or “antigovernment insurgents” is grabbing the lowest hanging fruit available, and it is simply ignorant.
This was not an “Insurrection” as many in the media or our own government wants to portrait this law enforcement failure.
“An act or instance of rising in revolt, rebellion, or resistance against civil authority or an established government.” This is the meaning of an insurrection and what we saw at the Capitol does not even come close.
These rioters were not rising in revolt, rebellion, resisting against civil authority, or an established government. These rioters were not doing anything more or anything less than what Antifa has done to American cities for the better part of 2020, destruction of property and supported by the lack of action from law enforcement agencies.
If you want to read about real cases of insurrection, go no further than Napoleon, Francisco Franco, Qadhafi, Idi Amin, and Pinochet, to name a few. These individuals used insurrections to raise to the top. If we had an insurrection in this country, it was done at the ballot box, by the voter fraud committed by the Democratic Party.
With this unconstitutional impeachment, the United States government is saying that former President Trump is no better than these dictators. That is an insult to the American people, to our country, and to the former President.
This phony trial is a black eye on America, and we should be ashamed of the people we have sent to Congress to represent us. This is not what I voted for.
While citizens in other undemocratic countries fight to have a representative government like that of the United States, the Democratic Party is tearing down our institutions, our culture, our history, and dismissing the Constitution to govern.
