Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street and building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the party is always right.

Eliminating Trump from being elected again one motivator in impeachment push, Pelosi says

Why worry? He'll be 78 in 2024, way too old. Besides, he is (still) a terrible president, no one would vote for him anyways.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said in a "60 Minutes" interview that aired Sunday night that one of the motivating factors for some in the new effort to impeach President Trump and remove him from office is to eliminate any chance he has of being elected again.

Leslie Stahl, the correspondent, mentioned some of the possible outcomes for Trump to Pelosi and pointed out that there is a chance that he somehow manages to leave office and run for president again.

Pelosi responded that the prospect of Trump running for president again is one of the motivations "that people have for advocating for impeachment".

She said that she prefers using the 25th Amendment "because it gets rid of him".

"But there is strong support in the Congress for impeaching the president a second time", she said. "This president is guilty of inciting insurrection. He has to pay a price for that".
