Impeachment Trial Redux
This unprecedented effort by the Democrats is about nothing more than trying to disqualify their political opposition.

Facts are apparently now a thing of the past, at least when they have anything to do with Donald Trump. Democrats and the Left couldn’t care less about the facts surrounding the events of January 6, and the corporate leftist propaganda and media machine shamelessly promotes their message.
It should come as no surprise, then, that Democrats and the Left have once again determined to target Donald Trump, even though he’s been out of office for weeks. They have been engaged in a nonstop smear campaign against Trump, begun even before he stepped foot in office and culminating in this second impeachment, which is devoid of evidence, facts, or reason.
In other words, it is exactly like the first impeachment.
No reasonable person could interpret the president’s January 6 speech on the Ellipse as an incitement to violence or “insurrection.†Nothing in the text could be construed as encouraging, condoning, or enticing unlawful activity of any kind. In fact, the president’s remarks explicitly encouraged those in attendance to exercise their rights “peacefully and patriotically.†Yet the Democrats’ impeachment charges allege that the president intended for the crowd at the Ellipse to “interfere with the Joint Session’s solemn constitutional duty to certify the results of the 2020 Presidential election.â€
A reading of the plain text of the president’s remarks, of course, disproves this. The president devoted nearly his entire speech to an extended discussion of how legislators should vote on the question at hand. Instead of expressing a desire that the Joint Session be prevented from conducting its business, the entire premise of his remarks was that the democratic process would and should play out according to the letter of the law—including both the Constitution and the Electoral Count Act.
