More madness from our Gaseous Little Baby Man Dirigible. Yes. Still gaseous. Still imploding. Still inciting mobs, still encouraging insurrection. 11 days until Joe Biden is sworn in as President. Seems like a lifetime away.
The Toxic Fat Man is not tweeting anymore. Finally Twitter bans the man. Long over-due. How many lies, how much disinformation and how many idiocies has emanated from the Toxic Clown's account? Uncountable. Unconscionable damage to our nation.
Finally shunned by social media. Perfect. Should have been done long ago. The torpedoes are coming from all directions. Calls for resignation, calls to invoke the 25th amendment and from the House of Representatives...

demeanors.

ARTICLE I
:
INCITEMENT OF INSURRECTION
3
The Constitution provides that the House of Rep-
4
resentatives ‘‘shall have the sole Power of Impeachment’’
5
and that the President ‘‘shall be removed from Office on
6
Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or
7
other high Crimes and Misdemeanors’’. In his conduct of
8
the office of President of the United States—and in viola-
9
tion of his constitutional oath faithfully to execute the of-
10
fice of President of the United States and, to the best of
11
his ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution
12
of the United States, and in violation of his constitutional
13
duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed—
14
Donald John Trump engaged in high Crimes and Mis-
15
demeanors by willfully inciting violence against the Gov-
16
ernment of the United States, in that:
17
On January 6, 2021, pursuant to the Twelfth
18
Amendment of the United States Constitution, the Vice
19
President of the United States, the House of Representa-
20
tives, and the Senate met at the United States Capitol
21
for a Joint Session of Congress to count the votes of the
22
Electoral College. Shortly before the Joint Session com-
23
menced, President Trump addressed a crowd of his polit-
24
ical supporters nearby. There, he reiterated false claims
25
that ‘‘we won this election, and we won it by a landslide’’.

3He also willfully made statements that encouraged—and
1
foreseeably resulted in—imminent lawless action at the
2
Capitol. Incited by President Trump, a mob unlawfully
3
breached the Capitol, injured law enforcement personnel,
4
menaced Members of Congress and the Vice President,
5
interfered with the Joint Session’s solemn constitutional
6
duty to certify the election results, and engaged in violent,
7
deadly, destructive, and seditious acts.
8
President Trump’s conduct on January 6, 2021 was
9
consistent with his prior efforts to subvert and obstruct
10
the certification of the results of the 2020 presidential
11
election. Those prior efforts include, but are not limited
12
to, a phone call on January 2, 2021, in which President
13
Trump urged Georgia Secretary of State Brad
14
Raffensperger to ‘‘find’’ enough votes to overturn the
15
Georgia presidential election results and threatened Mr.
16
Raffensperger if he failed to do so.
17
In all of this, President Trump gravely endangered
18
the security of the United States and its institutions of
19
government. He threatened the integrity of the democratic
20
system, interfered with the peaceful transition of power,
21
and imperiled a coordinate branch of government. He
22
thereby betrayed his trust as President, to the manifest
23
injury of the people of the United States.

4 Wherefore President Trump, by such conduct, has
1
demonstrated that he will remain a threat to national se-
2
curity, democracy, and the Constitution if allowed to re-
3
main in office, and has acted in a manner grossly incom-
4
patible with self-governance and the rule of law. President
5
Trump thus warrants impeachment and trial, removal
6
from office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any of-
7
fice of honor, trust, or profit under the United States.
