Trump Dumped on His Way out the Door
The U.S. House of Representatives voted to dump Trump on his way out the door. Ten Republicans joined all the Democrats in a 232 – 197 vote to impeach the president for “inciting insurrection.”
Trump will Leave White House One Way or Another
President Trump will leave the White House within 7 days one way or another. Passions run high about his remaining options.
The WSJ editorial page wants him to resign. Nancy Pelosi demanded that Mike Pence invoke the 25th amendment. But Pence said no – the same answer he gave when Trump pressured him to overturn the election. Now Pelosi wants a second Trump impeachment.
A Monday Quinnipiac survey found that 89% of Democrats want Trump frogmarched now. But 87% of Republicans are opposed. And 73% of Republican still believe there was “widespread voter fraud in the 2020 election.”
If a big chunk of the population thinks the election was illegitimate what will they think of impeachment?
But if he’s not impeached does that mean loser presidents get a free pass from election day to inauguration day?
Orderly Transfer of Power Following Trump Insurrection
Donald Trump promised an orderly transfer of power after flushing his accomplishments along with his last shred of credibility. But it may not matter. Pelosi called for yet another impeachment unless the cabinet invokes the 25th amendment. The WSJ called for him to spare us that ordeal by resigning.
Hunter’s Tax Affairs Under investigation
Last week Hunter Biden let out word that his “tax affairs” are under investigation. But the AP says it’s about more than his taxes. There’s also a subpoena for documents related to Hunter’s far flung business deals,.
The New York Post first reported in October that the FBI was investigating emails on Hunter’s laptop. And the media gave the Post the back of its hand. Twitter shut down the paper’s account. Adam Schiff told Wolf Blitzer the story was Russian disinformation and NPR simply refused to cover it.

Stacey Abrams Refused to Concede
Stacey Abrams refused to concede defeat in the 2018 Georgia gubernatorial race. She said the election process is “rotten and rigged.” Sound familiar?:
“Concession means to say that the process was fair, but when I run an organization that in 10 days between election night and the night I refuse to concede we receive more than 50,000 phone calls for people who were denied the right to vote I am complicit if I say that that system is fair
From the Hill, Aug. 19, 2019: WSJ Appeared in the November 12, 2020, print edition as ‘Notable & Quotable.’
The Donald couldn’t have said it better himself. As it happens, Abrams helped set the stage for Trump’s defeat in Georgia.
