Not that Clinton or Obama incited a failed coup, but they also were term limited out...

The fact that some Republicans can’t do their job is a problem for the party to eventually figure out.

Then by all means, proceed good sir, just know that it would be political suicide for a Republican Senator in most states to vote for impeachment against a candidate that got 75+ million votes, so good luck finding enough to vote for it.

That is the Republicans fault. They can decide if they want to start being honest to their base. Or they can just keep rolling the misinformation out.

Socialist Dems have never been honest with their minority, poor or young voter base! Ever!

Speaking of TDS, Kellyanne Conway seems to have let the TDS overwhelm all aspects of her life.

And the videos that her daughter posted with Kellyanne screaming at her and saying horrible things...yikes. Some serious emotional abuse.

Briefs are due soon.

Any legal team wanting to follow the RINO playbook and not go through all of the election fraud is no loss.

Pelosi opened the door with her ill-conceived bogus article, and that opportunity cannot be wasted.

And to answer Goosey, the Senate's constitutional authority to try articles of impeachment against Trump ended over 11 days ago. Bills of attainder are not allowed in this country.

Impeachment trials are not a Bill of attainder, moron.

I don't know the details of what is allowed/not allowed in normal times because I know this is anything but normal times, and the rules are whatever Pelosi/Schumer want them to be. Yeah, I know the argument that the purpose of impeachment is to determine if an office holder should be dismissed from said office. Federal judges can be impeached too, and probably some others as well. Given that Trump IS out of office one might ask, well, what's the point of going through all of this? The Constitutional answer is: there is no point. The libtard/Swamp answer is: they don't want Trump to be able to run again in 2024.

Impeachment only allows a permanent bar from office as a additional punishment after removal from office. Can't do the second without the first.

Any legislative action against a private citizen that cannot qualify under impeachment provisions (including due to the tardiness of the action) becomes a bill of attainder. Since the constitutional issue was raised already, any almost impossible Trump conviction would be appealed to the Supreme Court and should be overturned by a simple read of the Constitution without any extensive interpretation needed.

Even the Dimmwits aren't dumb enough to do what they know they would have to do to actually get Trump barred from seeking office--try and convict him on the bogus charges that would have to be filed in a court of law.

Wrong, all around.

And the Constitution doesn’t say you have to have a removal and disqualification. Instead it expresses it in terms of the maximum punishment that can be applied.

Quote:

---

The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments. When sitting for that Purpose, they shall be on Oath or Affirmation. When the President of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice shall preside: And no Person shall be convicted without the Concurrence of two thirds of the Members present.

Judgment in Cases of Impeachment shall not extend further than to removal from Office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any Office of honor, Trust or Profit under the United States: but the Party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to Indictment, Trial, Judgment and Punishment, according to Law.

---

With that said, I fully expect the Republicans to latch on to every fake excuse for that their electorate will accept to not impeach, just like last time.
