I actually support a coupe of things Trump did. One is getting our troops out of harm's way in places they should never has been sent. The other is acknowledging the plight of the white working class. This country had already acknowledged the working class's minority members.
What's terrible is his normalization of relentless lies by the president, and of personal attacks on those who crossed him that were vastly out of proportion to the provocations. That stuff was straight out of the playbook of the dastardly Roy Cohn, who was Trump's idol.
His Senate trial presented reason #2,999,999 why we need term limits in Congress, The Republicans were more interested in clinging to office than in doing the right thing, and they were terrified that Trump would come to their states and campaign against them in the primaries.

Trumpism is the new platform on the Republican Party. They cannot live without it for fear of violence from Trumpists, and they will not live without it because it brings them easy avenues to power.
Trump and his family and various companies are losing a shot-ton of money and facing dozens of civil and criminal charges (even Panama finds them too corrupt to tolerate), they're losing or at risk of losing any number of high-value properties, his supporters are fomenting an internal war within the conservative camp, and he is faced with vastly better handling of a pandemic he chose to worsen by the man he lost his reelection to. His chances of getting into any public office again are poor and worsening by the day, but the rot that he exacerbated is still there and in many ways spreading.
Only time will tell if he ends up behind bars from criminal charges.

Originally posted by Space Cop View PostIt wouldn’t be an impeachment (which I do agree is for sitting presidents and it sounds like 11 GOP said that was their only reason for acquittal). It would be a federal charge of sedition, inciting a riot, or whatever. He can’t be impeached again, but he’s not free of all criminal prosecution. I’m not even saying this has to happen or will work, but if I were Dem, I’d rather go that route.Last edited by TazzMission; 02-14-2021, 02:27 PM.

Originally posted by TazzMission View PostHes what is called a private citizen now. I would assume even federal court cant touch him for impeachment. Ill have to research it to be sure but can you imagine the government starts arresting a single civilian expecially the conspiracy theorists? Not to sound like a hypocrite but i believe in some.

Originally posted by Space Cop View PostIf what Trump did is so illegal then prosecute him in a federal court which has the benefit of not relying on a political vote and still bars him from running again. However, since he was rather vague (he never said “storm the Capital building,” “attack congressmen” or “break in now”) that probably wouldn’t go through either.Last edited by TazzMission; 02-14-2021, 01:34 PM.

The killer fired several shots off to the side as a warning. But instead of shutting up, the women yelled, "I've got you on video!"
So he shot Jimmy, who ran away howling and left his wife to fend for herself.
Then he shot the woman, who STILL didn't shut up! After she was shot, she yelled three times, "You fucker!"

When someone points a gun at you, it's time to DE-escalate the situation. Not escalate it.
It sounds like they had taunted the guy in the past, and he had backed down. But this time he didn't.

Not really THE outrage of the week, but pretty bad:
Muslim comedian jailed in India over jokes he didn't even tell
