You can't impeach someone for
removal from office when they
aren't in office anymore. They
cannot try a private citizen.


I’m willing to let the courts decide this, not some rando Trumpster on a message board.

They might have just wanted their chance to break in to the capitol building for whatever reason.

There is no good reason
I'm still shocked more did not die
This building is only the number 1 terrorist target on the entire planet for extremist Muslims or extremist Trumpers

Extremist Trumpsters are a MUCH greater threat to our country today than extremist Muslims. It’s not even close.

My guess is Pence and number of Republicans are giving the 25th solution as a condition of 'just one more thing.' As long as Trump is a good boy, they'll try to hold out until the term ends. All the Democrats and some Republicans are ready to boot him now.
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

It doesn't apply. It's only for
when a president is unable
to perform his duties, not
just because you don't like
him. It would be challenged
and the SCOTUS would throw
it out long after Trump was
gone.
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

Dershowitz quoted the passage
in the constitution. It only applies
to sitting presidents. Has no power
over private citizens.

Records show fervent Trump fans fueled US Capitol takeover

An AP review of posts and records of more than 120 people charged or otherwise connected to the Capitol riot shows that the mob was overwhelmingly made up of longtime Trump supporters, including GOP officials and donors and far-right militants.

Recent polls:
67% blame trump for the riot
51% of republicans do not blame trump

Both numbers are surprising, but moreso the republican number. His support among republicans has been, up to now, rock solid, but only 51% think he wasn't to blame.

Translation: 51% of republicans polled are mentally ill.
