Congress focus as COVID roared was an empty impeachment over a single phone call.
Another impeachment in order to pigeon hole senators, before this dies down, will take weeks.

Is that what we want to focus on for the first 30 days? Rome is still burning with COVID and our reps are distracted. One week to go. Ignore the Orange Blowhard with whatever medium he finds. Prediction: media will continue to follow his every word, no matter what mediums SV ban him from.

We should and very easily can be talking about day one, versus a mostly peaceful rally (numbers whom stormed versus numbers whom attended)....gone awry. He is NOT going to jail, and wouldn't win a seat on the West Palm Beach Water Board.

Time to focus, time to be mature, time to allow Biden to unite. Afford him that, versus increasing the size of the oppositional fringe.

A shit show happened, he relished some of it. Illinois might file bankruptcy, California in a race to go first (the first Federal-to-state bail out will be free).

There is no healing without accountability. For once, Democrats are nearly universally united against Republican malfeasance.

A practical reason is that it eliminates Trump "self-pardoning" himself, as the Constitution is unambitious (for once) regarding anyone being pardoned while under Impeachment. Even that Trump would fail with such an attempt, Impeachment thwarts a Supreme Court challenge.

Exactly. Prosecution and accountability is also a deterrent from these other threats. The Alphabet agencies are already reporting threats around the inauguration. They are closing the Washington monument etc because of threats.

If we do absolutely nothing or just "ride out the next two weeks" and let it go thats not the HUGE deterrent that we need for the future. It should be well known that no other future president better ever do this shit again because look at twice impeached trump etc.

Trump tried to have the Vice President and The Speaker of the House killed. You cannot be serious.

At the VERY LEAST, he could not have given less than a fuck if it had happened or not.

It really says something that when he was sitting and watching it unfold in real time that he was confused or otherwise could not understand why everyone else in the WH was not as gleeful at seeing this turn of events as he was.

In his twisted mind there was something "wrong" with THEM that they did not see this turn of events as the greatest thing since sliced bread.

*DJT's impeachment happened Dec. 18, 2019 and trial ended long before Congress faced the covid crisis.
Impeachment trial of Donald Trump - Wikipedia

DJT gleefully caused a murderous assault on the House Legislators to occur. LOCK HIM UP!

If "Jack McCoy up in NYC has anything to say about it (and he DOES) he is going to put Trump's ass in Attica!!

Yep. Ask South Africa. Reconciliation works.

I don’t think self pardon is legal. Nor are preemptive parsons.

fact checks
States cannot declare bankruptcy, one reason is they can raise taxes to pay their debts.
Despite McConnell comment, states can’t go bankrupt, only default - Roll Call

the (first) impeachment was December 18, 2019 ⁠–⁠ February 5, 2020
(1 month, 2 weeks and 4 days)

The first US patient was identified with confirmed COVID-19 in Washington State on January 22, 2020. The patient returned from a trip to Wuhan Jan.15. He survived.

The first US death was Feb. 29, also in Washington State.

Trump declares us emergency over SARS-COV-2 on Feb 3, 2020, eight days after WHO declared worldwide emergency.

Impeachment with conviction from the Senate means he can't run in 2024.

Fucking DO IT.

25th amendment should have/could have been invoked awhile ago. The fake-tanned, eager-to-be dictator needs to be the fuck out of office in a way he can't come back from. If republicans want to be capable of keeping any kind of credibility they need to get on board.

This isn't "red vs. blue" bullshit. This is: Do you support democracy or not??

If you think Trump should remain in office after being legally fired by our democratic process, you should consider moving out of the country. You don't believe in the constitution, so get the fuck out. If anyone will even take you...

Not holding President Trump accountable sets a precedent. Leaving office after committing impeachable high crimes and misdemeanors while pardoning himself on the way out the door sets the precedent that any future president may commit crimes of any nature and simply pardon himself.

Is this the kind of America that anyone wants to live in? One where there is no balance of power? One where the office of the president is never held accountable? Actions have consequences and the man currently holding the office of the presidency is a common thug and a criminal with very dangerous authoritarian and fascist tendencies. Trump needs to be impeached regardless of whether or not the Senate convicts. It must go on record.

Not holding traitors who tried to overthrow America accountable is exactly why those racist trash at the Capitol felt emboldened to wave the Confederate flag. We can't make that mistake again.

There can be no "unity" and no "healing" until both those that committed the insurrection and those that encouraged them to it are held accountable and one of those ways is another impeachment.

Even if it's only symbolic (which it probably will be) it still will send a message that "law and order" actually means something beyond a hollow Republican talking point.
