Why do you think Washington’s an armed camp?


Exactly what I was thinking. Reading Trumps argument explains as much. Those folks in DC fear that one way or the other, hell’s coming their way. Why?

Because they know what we all know: They are trying to run a government WITHOUT the consent of the governed.

Yeah, if it were me, I’d be hunkering down, too.

Key parts:
Since the House presented one article with multiple charges it is unconstitutional


I was wondering about this. Was the House in such a hurry to impeach that they screwed up the legal procedures laying out the charges? If so, what, are all the lawyers in the US House of Reps dumb asses?

“Trump may be making a mistake by declaring himself NOT to be the president.

I would argue that he is in fact the President. He won a majority of votes on election day, and as (see tagline) a legitimate President in exile, he deserves to have his case heard before the Chief Justice.”

Trump is president.

The usurpers claim otherwise.

By going forward they would be acknowledging Trump is president.

“Nothing can change the fact that Biden is the 46th President. “

That’s not a fact.

It’s a claim.

Your post is reasonable enough but is not relevant.

It is a constitutional crisis and extraordinary time.

He says he is 45th president.

 

He also says "the 45th President is no longer "President".

If you think about it conviction by the Senate would be a very good thing for all of us. Its gets him up in front of SCOTUS

He could have summarized this neatly in two words:

Does it? Where in the Constitution do you find that a President impeached by the House and Senate has SCOTUS as an appellate court?

His lawyers SAY it right in his response. If convicted they assert it a “Bill of Attainder”

The ONLY place a “Bill of Attainder” can be adjudicated is before SCOTUS.

That’s PDJT’s only route to SCOTUS at this point

Maybe I’m reading it wrong, but there seems to be an unintended double negative that renders the following sentence nonsensical:

(Answer 8, part 7, sentence beginning on fourth line of Page 13).

“The 45th President of the United States believes and therefore avers that the defect in the drafting of the Article requires that Senators be instructed that if two thirds of them fail to find any portion of the Article lacking in evidence sufficient for conviction, then the entire Article fails and must be dismissed.”

Why would failure to find a lack of sufficient evidence for conviction be grounds for dismissal?

It makes sense only if you remove the word “lacking”, as follows:

“fail to find in any portion of the Article evidence sufficient to convict”

“The Deep State can’t afford not to...and its why they have Capitol Hill surrounded in troops and barricades”

They know they pulled off a coup and are trying to incapacitate the legitimate president.

[ It’s too late. Nothing can change the fact that Biden is the 46th President. There is nothing in the books that can overturn Biden’s swearing in. It’s over for Trump’s Administration. As much as I would love to see something happen to reverse that it can’t be undone at this point. ]

Trump will never be the 45th president again.... he could become 47 ( remote possibility )
