🇺🇸 F'dup Chapters in American History (The Trump Years) --- Part 30

Well at least we are respected in the world again and not a laughing stock

Am I jumping the gun here by saying this feels like the walls are actually closing in on Trump

The walls have been closing in since November 7th, if not earlier.

 

[Holy Slapper]

Depends on if the Senate acts within the next 7 days.

They can run this beyond inauguration, if the intent is to make sure he never runs again.

There seems to be some disagreement. Obviously, it's never been tested in court. Some say the senate only has the right to convict a sitting president. Others say the senate can carry through the trial as long as the charges have been brought.

This definitely feels different. Two weeks ago I think most people assumed there was a reasonably good chance Trump would leave office and not face a single consequence for anything he did the past four years.

The GOP sold their soul to pack the Supreme Court with "Pro-life" judges and since accomplishing that they've ramped up killing people, and if that doesn't summarize the Republican party I don't know what does

My rep finally found a spine, I see.

Axios - Scoop: McConnell leans toward convicting Trump in an impeachment trial

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

Big corporations are putting the pressure on to impeach and remove Trump really by pulling the funding plug.

Their nutjob voter base may be mostly against it but rich contributors are bailing out.

The coup supporters have to choose between votes and money.

*Nelson laugh*

I had a bad feeling in my stomach when I learned Trump was being advised by the indicted QAnon (traitor) who pled guilty General Michael Flynn again in the White House.

Politico - Poll: Support drops for a Trump run in 2024

Donald bin Laden went from leading at 53% in November to leading with 40% now. Nobody else is close.

(this is moot if the Senate bans Trump after conviction or some legal alternate method.)

Who the heck wants to re-elect him again in 2024 after what happened apart from his MAGA base?

Trump Tower needs to be removed or renamed. Although who would want to buy that property in future?

 

[Aurakles]

It's actually a bit depressing that the decision to impeach is being made by corporations. That they are openly bragging about withholding their bribes until they get what they want.
I approve of the ends, but the means are a disgusting indictment of the US political system.

 

[Pfeiffer-Pfan]

So is the vote for impeachment today? It all seems so laid back.

Yeah too laid back.

Republicans saying that impeaching Trump would be “partisan and would divide the country” don’t seem to be aware of the irony of them saying this.

...So rushing to confirm a conservative Supreme Court justice shortly before the election and contesting the legitimacy of a election your party’s president lost weren't partisan and didn’t divide the country then?
