ewerk 26269 Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Not necessarily. The Senate has to consider it once the articles are received but I don’t think there’s any requirement to send them immediately. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewerk 26269 Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Well that’s a given but the timing is up to Pelosi. Plus McConnell will be minority leader after the inauguration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 19801 Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 What is the point? So he can’t run for office again? Not sure I really get it. Unlikely to get through the senate anyway. Won’t it just give him more of a platform anyway? Janes Comey was just on newsnight saying Biden should consider pardoning trump so he just fucks off into obscurity, even though he belongs in jail. Don’t give him the attention he craves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 17741 Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 This last 4 years of Trump never really happened did it? This level of idiocy is too far fetched. It's some type of set up, or perhaps I am going to awake from a REM coma any time soon? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t give him the attention he craves There’s five people dead after what he unleashed the other day. I get why he should be punished by his peers for doing it before the feds get him, to cleanse the lunacy that GOP has been for the last half decade, which in turn will help to re set US democracy. A full stop. The GOP turning on him now is grim, nauseating fuckin hypocrisy. But it has to be done. “Don’t martyr him”, yeah it’s a good point but the republic of the US buried its head in the sand for 5 years now it must face up to what it’s done & pay the price. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t give him the attention he craves Apparently there’s 20 Republican senators who could be persuaded which is more than enough. The thing is that Trump isn’t going to fade into obscurity, he isn’t going to be a good boy like Nixon. He needs the limelight, the attention, he’ll constantly be shouting from the sidelines. The best thing they can do is bar him from public office and bury him in prosecutions, completely discredit him. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I think Comey hasn't been paying attention if he believes Trump would look at a Presidential pardon as anything other than a victory. A victory he'd need to crow about on Fox News for the nxt 4yrs. The Toddler in Chief should go to jail and if that means there are violent protests from the far-right, then those people should be prosecuted too. Saying you don't want to put criminals in jail because you're afraid is a cowardly position to take. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isegrim 8870 Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 A proper impeachment trial does give a chance to look at things properly. It’s a chance to get rid of those demagogues for good. Otherwise they will start looking for re-election or putting one of his children up for election to keep the cult and everything that’s associated with it going. That is why I do also think that it’s good that the proceedings in the senate will not start before the inauguration. Enough time to dig ip more shit, especially with a change of the administration in the WH and possible access to classified information. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 4963 Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 I assume it would also prevent Trump from getting classified intel after he leaves office. Which I think is a must, frankly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 38708 Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 If his offspring are convicted of felony charges, doesn’t that also prevent them from running for/holding public office? Jnr is certainly as guilty as his father of incitement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 26269 Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 I'm not sure it precludes you from holding federal office, I know you can be a felon and still be elected to congress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayvin 4963 Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 I'm not convinced Don Jr has the same appeal as his father, I don't think we have to worry about a resurgence of the Trump legacy after this, they're being cast out of the Republican party in full. Ted Cruz maybe taking on the mantle, or Tucker Carlson if he decides to swing that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
