It’s impeachment week, the first one in American history for a President who is out of office.  Many are not watching on account of their emotional health.  As of today, maybe the impeachment managers are having second thoughts about the wisdom of having entered into this spectacle.  Not to upset you, but the defense lawyers made a rather comprehensive montage of those who seek conviction, publicly making statements way beyond anything uttered by #45 on January 6^th.  He dared use the word “fight,” and so have his accusers, hundreds if not thousands of times.

They called for uprisings.  They said the looting and burning would not stop, and “should not stop.”  You can look it up if you want to see all the times those seeking conviction have made statements far exceeding what they claim as evidence.  It would be worth a hefty sum to be able to see the faces of those, many of whom were having to sit in the proceedings and watch themselves call for “fighting” and “uprisings.”  The impostor himself invoked his desire to take Trump out back, “and beat the hell out of him.”  Here’s betting there were some red, maybe purple faces in the Senate for having made what you might call “indiscreet utterances.”  Apparently the vote is today, or tonight.

The purge is ongoing.  If someone suspects everything might not have been on the up and up last November 3, and in the days following, they’re being described as domestic terrorists.  Maybe they’ve forgotten how they bellowed about the election of Trump being illegitimate.  They used every artifice to disavow and delegitimize him even before he took office.  Then they worked tirelessly to turn the public against him.  They shamelessly edited his words in order to call him a racist, which they’ve done relentlessly.  Lately, they’re trying to shame and ruin all who supported him or were employed by him.  Who are they?

Time magazine (is it still in print?) published an article proudly outlining how big tech, the media and large corporations worked together to bring about his defeat through the Coronavirus scare and mail-in voting, changing election laws without the benefit of State legislatures.  It was a full-court-press, and they are very proud of themselves for having achieved the desired result.  But, according to the mainstream media and every social media platform (save the few, struggling to survive the onslaught) you better not tell a soul if you suspect something was amiss.  They’ll come after anybody who dares suggest such a thing with repercussions.  Not only will unapproved statements be blocked and removed, but people are being banned, sometimes permanently.

It’s just a guess, but it’s highly likely we’ll be hearing about shenanigans in swing counties whether the titans of tech like it or not.  No court has heard any evidence.  Everybody in position to respond to any such discussion just blows a gasket and starts slinging accusations.  But some court cases are ongoing, though no judges of any persuasion have been subjected to any evidence.  The buffoons trying to throttle any suggestion of malfeasance have apparently forgotten everything they promoted for four years.  Now it’s a crime if you have any reservations!

The “great reset,” as imagined by organizations with global clout, is now being touted by corporations we know.  Financial corporations.  They’re going to enforce zero-carbon policies on their clients.  That means nobody gets a loan unless they’ve jumped through every green hoop, and agree that the great worldwide religion of global warming is just as scary as they say it is.

But enough with the depressing nonsense.  It’s the Sabbath, and we’re going to enjoy it.  Apparently these bosses are going to outlaw the Bible if they can.  They’ve already made much in God’s Word illegal to practice in society.  If you intend to live by the Word of God, you better keep it to yourself.  Unfortunately, that’s a luxury we don’t have.

Pages could be filled with every means imaginable being employed to weaken or destroy everything the United States ever stood for, including its citizens.  But you can read all about it, in glowing terms, on every mainstream outlet.  Some of us would rather not!  Have a great Sabbath.

WASHINGTON (1010 WINS) – Members of the Senate on Saturday voted to acquit former President Donald Trump at his second impeachment trial.

Trump was acquitted of a single charge of incitement of insurrection in connection with the deadly storming of the Capitol on Jan. 6.

The vote was 57-43. Thirty-four votes were needed to acquit.

The acquittal had been expected, as the chamber is split 50-50 between Republicans and Democrats and a two-thirds majority is required for a conviction.

The trial was derailed Saturday after the Senate voted to hear witness testimony. It proceeded after lawmakers reached a deal to avoid calling witnesses, a move that could have significantly delayed the vote. They agreed to use a written statement instead.

Republican senators had voted with Democrats to hear witness testimony after details came out about a phone call between Trump and House Republican leader Kevin McCarthy during the Capitol riot.

During the call, Trump reportedly knew his supporters were rioting at the Capitol but did nothing about it, even telling McCarthy that “I guess these people are more upset about the election than you are.” Democrats said it showed the former president’s indifference to the siege.

The impeachment trial lasted for nearly a week, with House prosecutors arguing that statements Trump made leading up to the Capitol siege, including urging supporters to “fight like hell,” as well as his false claims about the election incited the attack. But Trump’s lawyers called the impeachment a “witch hunt” and contended that the former president wasn’t looking to incite violence with his words.

Trump is the only president in history to be impeached twice. He’s the only president to face an impeachment trial after his term in office had ended.

The post Senators vote 57-43 to acquit Trump in impeachment trial first appeared on Garner Ted Armstrong Evangelistic Association.

“The President will not testify in an unconstitutional proceeding,” Trump senior adviser Jason Miller told Fox News Thursday.

The former president’s legal team fired back at Impeachment Manager Jamie Raskin’s request Thursday for the former president to testify as part of the Senate impeachment trial, calling it a “public relations stunt” and saying they “cannot prove” the allegations against him.

The comments come after House impeachment managers requested that Trump provide testimony under oath either before or during the Senate impeachment trial about “his conduct” on Jan. 6.

The president’s legal team did not say, one way or the other, whether the president would testify.

“We are in receipt of your latest public relations stunt,” Trump’s attorneys Bruce Castor and David Schoen wrote. “As you certainly know, there is no such thing as a negative interference in this unconstitutional proceeding.”

“Your letter only confirms what is known to everyone: you cannot prove your allegations against the 45th President of the United States, who is now a private citizen,” they continued.

They added: “The use of our Constitution to bring a purported impeachment proceeding is much too serious to try to play these games.”

The request from impeachment managers came after Trump’s legal team filed an answer to the Article of Impeachment denying what managers call “incontrovertible facts about the president’s conduct on and leading up to” the Capitol riots.

Trump’s legal team responded saying that “the 45th President of the United States performed admirably in his role as president, at all times doing what he thought was in the best interests the American people.”
