| Topic | We impeached Trump again |

You'd need a 2/3s vote, which is never going to happen, and that vote likely won't take place until AFTER Trump has left office. All congress did was waste time they could have been using to fix actual problems, but that's the hallmark of their ineptitude. papercup posted... Sure it did, it put on the record that Trump incited a failed coup. Except it actually doesn't any more than any other token statement and, more importantly, it was never really a "coup" in the first place considering that there was no attempt to seize the reins of power. Instead they just made jackasses out of themselves, taking selfies in peoples' chairs, stealing shit, and then either surrendering or fleeing. And other than breaking into the capitol, there didn't seem to any collective thought process. That's why at worst the media has been calling it an insurrection, whereas only the goofiest of partisans call it a coup, including Californian Democrats who have been trying to use it to defend attempts to recall their governor by linking the two events (something that probably only makes sense in California). streamofthesky posted... If he's impeached, he can be banned from ever running for federal office again and he can lose all his post-term privileges like his pension and such. That's completely untrue, and a good example of why you shouldn't get your political "facts" from Facebook memes and Tweets. https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/11/politics/fact-check-tweet-trump-impeachment-run-2024-secret-service/index.html --- (\/)(\/)|-| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. ...
