Debate only the riot and the President’s inflammatory actions leading up to and encouraging the riot

I’ve been getting all kinds of strange comments to my posts on Facebook and my responses in our local news outlet about Wednesday’s coup attempt. Everything from comparing the riot to Black Lives Matter riots to infiltration of the mob by agitators from Antifa.

One even compared it to the Gleiwitz incident, a staged assault by the Nazis on their own facilities in 1939 and blaming it on Poland.

These are irrelevant distractions and are in no way connected to the riot itself. They must be blocked during the impeachment debate. If the complaints are valid, they can be addressed later in the correct forum.

First, Why it was a coup attempt

The mob was chanting “Kill Pelosi” and “Hang Pence.” Had they succeeded and Mitch McConnell been killed,

There would be no elected official remaining in the Presidential Succession

The House and Senate would be in turmoil

Impeachment would be nearly impossible due to fear and chaos

Members might vote against impeachment out of fear — they could be next, assassinated on the way to or from their home

The House must impeach to prevent Trump from running again and to set a precedent for the future.

The impeachment bill should contain a section that states:

All Executive Orders and Pardons issued by the President on or after this impeachment bill is filed in the House, January 11, 2021, shall be null and void upon passage.

This possibility is not addressed by the Constitution, but should be included. After all, a future President might cause havoc and the precedent would be set. Let the courts fight it out.

How to Block Irrelevant, Distracting Topics

The reason behind the riot is not relevant. Actions speak louder than words and only the actions count.

Who cares why a person commits murder, except for self-protection. People inside the Capitol Building were there to commit murder and overturn the Constitution, no matter what their claims are. Those were their actions.

The riot was well-planned, with bombs and other weapons. It was instigated and promoted by the President, Donald Trump. He advocated and encouraged, through his last speech in person on Wednesday, tweets, and earlier speeches, the overthrow of the Constitution.

Any speeches on the House or Senate floor not referring to the riot, or Trump’s communications calling for overturning the Electoral College results, should be ruled out-of-order. The impeachment is a trial and should be treated as such.

Any senator who attempts to filibuster should be censured, recalled if possible, and voted out of office, no matter the party. That includes Mitch McConnell if he is able to but refuses, on his own, to call the Senate back into session to process an impeachment from the House.
