From iota's post we find these words. "Knowledge without action is useless." So true.
Further to that point: "It is not what you know that matters, it is what you do with what you know that matters."
I'm not sure who to attribute that statement to. It's something I heard or read years ago and it made perfect sense to me. I think of it every time someone says or I read "knowledge is power." No, it is not. Knowledge has no power, unless it is in action and put to use.

Joe Biden once promised that fellow Democratic presidential hopeful Beto O’Rourke, who famously threatened to send cops out to confiscate certain weapons, would be his point person on gun control if elected.
It seems that agenda has been launched, even before Biden’s inauguration.
The Federalist reports AR15.com, the largest gun forum, has been shut down by the web hosting company GoDaddy.

Democrats, 10 Republicans Vote for 2nd Impeachment of Trump
BY IVAN PENTCHOUKOV
January 13, 2021
https://www.theepochtimes.com/democr...g-2021-01-13-3
"Democrats in the House of Representatives, joined by ten Republicans, voted to impeach President Donald Trump for a second time, in a 232–197 vote on Jan. 13. The single article of impeachment alleges that the president incited an insurrection that resulted in the breach of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.
The impeachment, accomplished in a single seven-hour session, was the fastest in U.S. history. It is also the first time in the nation’s history that a president was impeached twice.
Republicans criticized the rush, arguing that it offered no due process to the president and no confidence in the proceedings to the American people. Democrats justified the truncated process by alleging that Trump poses a danger to the nation every day he is in office.
“We know that the president of the United States incited this insurrection, this armed rebellion, against our common country,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) alleged. “He must go. He is a clear and present danger to the nation that we all love.”
Every Democrat voted in favor of impeachment.
Some of the Republicans who voted to impeach the president were Republican Reps. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), John Katko (R-N.Y.), Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.), Fred Upton (R-Mich.), Jaime Herrera Beutler (R-Wash.), Dan Newhouse (R-Wash.), Anthony Gonzalez (R-Ohio), Tom Rice (R-S.C.), David Valadao (R-Calif.), and Peter Meijer (R-Mich.)
Some Republicans argued that moving forward with impeachment would further divide the nation.
“Instead of moving forward as a unifying force, the majority in the House is choosing to divide us further,” Rep. Tom Cole (R-Okla.) said. “I can think of no action the House could take that’s more likely to further divide the American people than the action we are contemplating today.”
Some of the Republicans who opposed impeachment didn’t explicitly defend the president. Others opposed the charge and argued that the president’s actions didn’t amount to incitement.
“At his rally, President Trump urged attendees to ‘peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.’ There was no mention of violence, let alone calls to action,” said Rep. Guy Reschenthaler (R-Pa.), a former Navy prosecutor. “President Donald Trump’s words would not even meet the definition of incitement under criminal statutes.”
“That’s impeachable? That’s called freedom of speech,” Rep. Tom McClintock (R-Calif.) said, noting that the president also threatened to oppose Republicans in future elections, including McClintock, who didn’t support objections to slates of electors. “Well, so what? That’s called politics. If we impeached every politician who gave a fiery speech to a crowd of partisans, this Capitol would be deserted.”
House Minority Leader Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) said that Trump holds responsibility for the attack on Congress, but opposed a rushed impeachment.
“He should have immediately denounced the mob when he saw what was unfolding,” McCarthy said.
The mob had already breached Congress when Trump was giving a speech to a large crowd of supporters more than a 30-minute walk away, a timeline by The Epoch Times shows. After news of the breach of the Capitol was reported, the president issued a video message calling on the crowd to support the police and to go home. The day after, he said there will be “an orderly transition on Jan. 20.” The president later said he will not attend the inauguration.
Cole pointed out that every impeachment in modern history was preceded by a committee investigation that included testimony from witnesses and experts. He argued that a truncated process affords no due process to the president and does little to offer confidence in the process to the American people. Reschenthaler cautioned that charging Trump would “lower an already low bar for impeachment.”
Republicans proposed forming a bipartisan commission to investigate the breach as an alternative to impeachment. A pair of Republicans who spoke in favor of the commission characterized the Capitol breach as a domestic terror attack. Rep. Rodney Davis (R-Ill.) cautioned that foreign adversaries witnessed how easy it is to take out a branch of the U.S. government. The commission, if formed, would prepare a report for the president advising how to prevent a future breach, Davis said.
Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) noted that rioting was not isolated to the breach of the Capitol on Jan. 6, but has gone on for months, with politicians on both sides to blame. Mace appeared to refer to the nationwide riots fomented and executed by the Antifa extremist group and the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement. The riots, arson, and looting caused up to $2 billion in damage across the nation and resulted in the deaths of two dozen people. McClintock suggested that if Antifa and BLM rioters had been diligently prosecuted, the events at the Capitol might not have occurred at all.
Democrats repeatedly cited the remarks by Republican Conference Chair Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), the third-highest-ranking Republican in the House. Cheney had earlier said that she would vote to impeach Trump and alleged that Trump’s actions amounted to “the biggest betrayal of any president of the United States in our history.”
Not a single Republican in the House joined the Democrats when they impeached Trump for the first time in 2020. The House investigation and the Senate trial at that time turned up no first-hand witnesses to the allegation that the president abused his power by withholding foreign aid from Ukraine in a bid to force the nation’s president to start an investigation into the Ukrainian business dealings of Hunter Biden, son of President-elect Joe Biden.
Hunter Biden held a paid position on the board of a Ukrainian gas firm Burisma when Joe Biden served as the vice president. Joe Biden has bragged that he forced the firing of Ukraine’s top prosecutor, Viktor Shokin, by threatening to withhold $1 billion in U.S. loan guarantees. Shokin has alleged in a sworn statement that he was fired because he refused to drop an investigation into Mykola Zlochevsky, the owner of Burisma.
The breach of the Capitol took place while the two chambers debated whether an objection to the counting of presidential electors from Arizona should be affirmed. After the building was secured, both chambers voted to overrule the objection. More than one hundred Republicans voted to uphold the objection.
Democrats criticized the Republicans who voted in favor of the objection. Rep. Jim McGovern (D-Mass.), who coordinated the floor speeches prior to the impeachment debate, had objected himself in 2017 to the counting of the electors from Alabama. The lead manager of the impeachment proceedings, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), had objected in 2017 to the counting of the Florida electors.
Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) said: “Americans are tired of the double standard. They are so tired of it. Democrats objected to more states in 2017 than Republicans did last week, but somehow we’re wrong.”
Democrats, including Pelosi, selectively quoted from Trump’s speech on Jan. 6, in which the president said “we fight like hell” in regards to his team’s legal battle to challenge the legitimacy of the election in several states.
“I think one of our great achievements will be election security, because nobody, until I came along, had any idea how corrupt our elections were,” the president said, before noting that others would not have taken a stand. “We fight like hell, and if you don’t fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore.”
The impeachment follows an unprecedented wave of censorship against the president by U.S. social media giants. Facebook, Twitter, and Google had all banned Trump from their platforms as of Jan. 13.
Jordan said: “It’s not about impeachment anymore. It’s about canceling the president and anyone that disagrees with them.” "

"The House just passed a second impeachment against President Trump. It will now head over to the Senate… which is in recess. So the earliest that the trial can start is on January 20th, which is after President Trump’s first term is over. So in theory, the whole thing is moot.
However, Democrats are arguing that President Trump can be impeached even after he’s out of office... but is that true?"
What about in 2024 when Trump is reelected...straight to court again. haha
2024? why so long?Quote:

Assuming the scenario given as official...If the impeachment can only be held on the 20th, so far it seems, Biden will be sworn in that day and Trump won't be president and can't be impeached until reelected, right?:nod:Quote:

based on those assumptions .. yes ..
and there is also the Trump factor to consider ... so could be 2024 ... could be earlier ...
until we reach the end ... we REALLY do not KNOW the whole story ....
i'll give you a hint ... its not so much him or the dems but the people who will decide
believe it or not ... its the you and the me's that are actually choosing how this will play out ...
and not quite ready to give up on us yet!
:shielddeflect:
PS i don't mean to be cryptic .. and i won't be ... i will lay it all out in the we don't know the whole story thread ... and hopeffully the right eyes will "see" what there is to do with these "characters" in OUR play
the operative words are "OUR play"

ah ... well .. then i guess i'll join you in asking ... you know, as i checked to confirm that you KNOW, that the patterns we are currently immersed in call for radical change ... and this WILL happen ... it is inevitable ... at the moment, everyone on the planet is being asked the question you just asked ...Quote:

Radically change it will.
From where I am sitting I just hope I can muster the courage to wait and see the unfolding so I can make an informed decision instead of attaching myself emotionally to the sides the old structures had put in place for me to get caught up in.
Radical changes rarely if at all turn out the way we want them to. Taking a stand too soon will only create a bigger counter force..
the change that is coming and being 'forced' if you will, is precisely to STOP counting, depending, relying on EXTERNAL forces to BE the determining factors in our livesQuote:

the fact that we have done this for so long IS what brought everyone to this point
right now, it is sinking in
the part that needs to "let go" of the reliance and grab a hold of the wheel that steers their life is taking a bit long to come into their awareness ... there is a terror IN "letting go" and a process of cognitive dissonance that goes with it
most Trump supporters are rather depressed, most democrats are doing ALL they can to take advantage of this momentary loss of balance and CONVINCE them that there is nothing they can do about it
THAT is NOT TRUE
and the dems are frantic to take every advantage before they come to this realization
but some will falter and wander for a while
but NONE can stand to be in that state for a prolonged period of time
and then the CHOICE will be made
it is actually being made now
some are acquiescing ... giving up and giving in
THAT is THEIR choice ... and their RIGHT to Choose is something the universe takes seriously and so will give them the experience they are asking for
and all the while they will protest how they didn't want it
maybe not, but it WAS what they CHOSE
hopefully, at a later time, they will make a different choice
others will connect to their Authentic Power, you know the one they CANNOT connect to as long as they are giving their power away
just can't have things both ways and it is a fact that TWO things CANNOT occupy the SAME space
so to "get" something else?
one has to "let go" of what has been "held" on to for soooo very long
do you think that ANYONE would just casually make this choice?
not on your life
it TAKES radical impetuous, catalyst TO move in that direction
NOT for everyone ... some like you ... some like me ... pursue change of our own volition
the catalyst WE require (and this TOO was a CHOICE) is of much less volatile nudge ...
c'est tout
PS i AM a Trump supporter .. so why am i NOT depressed?
one because Trump too is connected to his Authentic Power as am i
people who are connected to their Authentic Power were never relying on external forces to provide us with the outcomes we CHOOSE
not just want
we CHOOSE
and then we take ACTION to get it
i WILL live in FREEDOM and ALL of the ideals that Trump declared himself to stand for ...
and i WILL take action to ensure it ...
why would i be depressed over a specific outcome relating to someone else?
the one in charge of MY life? is ME
the thing is that this CHOICE is available to everyone and as soon as this realization become REAL to them?
THAT will absolutely be radical ... a wondrous and radical change IS available for everyone
