Speaker Pelosi Declares a Coup Against President Trump Real Clear Politics, Dec 6, 2019, Frank Miele
Nancy Pelosi transparently announced a coup against President Trump on Thursday morning, Dec. 5, 2019, a date which will live in political infamy.
There was never any doubt that the House of Representatives will vote on a strictly partisan basis to impeach the president, but it could not have been foreseen that Pelosi would frame that approaching act as a naked power grab.
Yet that is exactly what she did.
In opening her announcement to draft impeachment charges by quoting the Declaration of Independence, she acknowledged more plainly than ever before that she is taking a revolutionary act, that she is overthrowing the established order and that, in modern terms, she has launched a coup.
Consider the words she quoted: "When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them with another ..."
This is either wildly inappropriate or a fundamental clue to the deeper meaning of the necessity of impeachment, as seen by the Democrats. These are not the words of an orderly transfer of power via legal means. They are a confession of the underlying intent of what has long been called "The Resistance" — and that is revolution, rebellion, the overthrow of an executive power that does not conform to the expectations of an aggrieved ruling class.
What we must ask now is just who are "the people" on both sides of this conflict? Pelosi implied that "one people" are dissolving their political bonds with "another," so who exactly are Pelosi and her like-minded revolutionaries declaring independence from? President Trump, the 63 million people who voted for him, the Republican Party or the authors of the Constitution itself?

That tells you all you need to know about how far we are from 1776. This impeachment is not a unifying act like the joining together of 13 Colonies against a common enemy, but rather the tearing asunder of a union into separate camps much like the rebellion that Abraham Lincoln encountered in 1861.
As time passes, I become more and more convinced that "impeachment" is what they consider to be their best weapon at removing Trump and his (few) allies, before the lid can be substantially blown off of the can holding all fo the current corruption, and that which has been building for decades..... it has been a race to get ahead of anything that AG Barr can bring forth....

I have been convinced of that for some time now @EdJames. Welcome aboard!

I also believe the demonrats are not afraid to burn the whole village down to save themselves.
