I LOVE Evenbob’s completely incorrect political analysis. Always good for a laugh. Mart Gaetz on line 1 for ya, EB.  “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

He also seems to have forgotten, somehow, that the house of representatives handles impeachment, not the senate, and it looks like the house is still in session. If they go through with it, on Monday they can start impeachment proceedings, and impeach trump before the end of his term. The senate has nothing to do with that part.

| Dalex64 Member since: Mar 8, 2014 Threads: 3 Posts: 3687 | Oh, and for trump to lose all of those benefits, he has to be impeached AND convicted in the senate, not just impeached by itself. Also also, the penalty of not being able to run for future office has to be voted on. It isn't an automatic penalty from being convicted in the senate, rather it is just one of the options that may or may not be applied.

Are you sure about that? I thought the senate had to vote to convict of impeachment after the house. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a deterrent. |

So what, it's as meaningless as the first impeachment. Trump won't run again anyway, he'll be 79 in 2025. Older than Senile Joe is now. The biggest danger they fear from Trump is him starting his own media platform, which he's looking into. And his awesome ability to fire up the base with rallies for GOP candidates. Trump will keep himself in the news more than Biden for the next two years. The payback bully in Trump won't let him leave this alone, that Bide stole a landslide election from him. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Yes. Bill Clinton was impeached. The senate did not convict him. Donald Trump was impeached. The senate did not convict him. "Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not to his own facts." Daniel Patrick Moynihan |

Bob, I was pointing your error. Trump can be impeached, without the senate, before he leaves office. How much it matters to you, me, or anyone else, isn't the point. "Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not to his own facts." Daniel Patrick Moynihan |

| Dalex64 Member since: Mar 8, 2014 Threads: 3 Posts: 3687 | As for him forming his own media company, who cares? Parler can continue, too. All it needs to do is either improve moderation of the content, or distribute the app outside of the Google store. I'm sure they'd be thrilled to have trump participating.
