There could be consequences. He could be disqualified from running again and could lose a six figure pension.

Since they impeached him again they can vote in the senate to not allow him to run for president again with a simple majority vote.

Since Mitch McConnell is a pile of feces the trial won't occur until Biden's term.

It is a waste of resources, but the Dems are so vengeful that making Trump look bad in the press is more important than real issues like fixing the economy.

Can you clarify? I thought that was at the impeachment trial. I'd be glad if I were wrong and it only needed to pass a simple majority. The thought of this lunatic running again terrifies me.

we got lucky that the first modern demagogue in America was done by someone as stupid as he is narcissistic. we need to send a message that this shit is un-American to discourage the next guy from trying

Swimming pull?

It's extremely disingenuous to say that "personal grudges" are the motivating factor for inpeaching a president who incited a mob to attack congress during the process of finalizing election results, but I'm not telling you anything you don't know there.

You are aware that 20,000 troops are in Washington, DC because Drumpf had diarrhea of the mouth resulting in 5 people dead?

They may have deployed some troops for the inauguration prior to this but the Republicans and Drumpf added gasoline to the situation. We have to occupy our capital city to keep it safe.

How can you miss this? Lenscrafters dude. They'll have your shit ready in an hour.

it requires a full conviction, and then a separate vote afterwards. fact of the matter is its not going to happen, there's just not enough decent republicans in the senate to make it happen.

I don't think one requires the other.

I think there is slight confusion. It is a different vote entirely but the vote will occur at the senate trial.
