Because they need to ask each other for the singular communal braincell when it's their turn to speak.

Yep, but I haven’t seen much evidence of that single cell amongst some of our colleagues here.

I feel the spontaneous need to change the subject for just a quick digression here; it’s really not worth starting a new thread, but um... anyone besides me ever look at some of the profile photos on these threads and notice how easy it is to distinguish a liberal from a conservative without even reading what they post? I’m not making a qualitative comment here; I just find it fascinating.

u look like a gunslinger out of the wild west but no i never made the connection...i don't like trump but hate most politicians so i like him for the fact they don't like him so that must be a good thing.
i hope he doesn't go to the impeachment hearing...bush and cheney and others were given subpoenas and never showed up stating their lawyers told them not to...
doesn't show up at inauguration then doesn't show up at impeachment...nice
to all you people want to take away his pension etc....well....would you want someone doing that to you for something they are accusing you of that they have done as well? doesn't supporting blm and antifa amount to that? shame on you.

to me it looks like it will be a quick work and he will not be impeached.....republicans yawning their way through it while democrats pretend to have hot news...

i think i will buy a time magazine and read the article about how with the help of millionaires and billionaires the dems saved democracy by changing dates of accepting ballots illegally and other strategems...seems to me they are getting out in front of the steal still and by admitting to small crimes hope to make people think the bigger one of the dominion machine is bogus...time will tell....funny rich and powerful people can get a way with "little crimes" the rest of us would do jail time for.

You really need to do some research b4 posting misinformation.

From Michigan State University College of Law's Professor Brian Kalt

-----------------

Asked "Does a president lose post-presidential benefits (pension, etc.) if impeached and convicted?"

Kalt's answer "Yes, but only if convicted while in office. The law gives benefits to those who either finish their term or resign (specifically, if "service…terminated other than by removal".
------------------------

Even if Trump is convicted it WON'T be while he is in office.

--------------------------
As far as the security detail goes

"Former presidents and spouses "for their lifetimes" (unless the spouse of the former president remarries)"

There is NO language regarding a former president who is impeached and convicted AFTER leaving office.

-------------------------

Other benefits that can be taken away by a vote in the senate ONLY if convicted AFTER leaving office

Office staff and space
Travel and security expenses, including for family (the security for travel ISN'T the regular security detail)

The ability to run for a second presidential term

They are looking at Trump's phonecall where he demanded 'find the votes'... Perhaps he will get convicted there?

“ Find the votes”.... how does anyone confuse that as inciting a riot. Nice stretch. I’ve heard far more serious calls to riot by the Democrats but I guess that’s overlooked and swept under the rug by Democrats.🤪

Bart, this is different from instigating the riot. Check the news my friend.

You are funny. Welcome to the forums

I agree Notlooking!

More funny things from this thread; the way "find the votes" was instantly misdirected and spun into a defense of inciting the idiots to storm the capital which it had nothing to do with.

Girthless' mention of $174K which is a tiny tip of the iceberg of the amount Trump scammed our country out of.

Cult? Hardly. Trump thinks like me, and not the other way around. What I never liked about dems was their feeble attempt to sound intelligent. I always wanted a concise explanation of what they are attempting to do. Covering that up with flowery words only tells me you're trying hide something. Lie to me once, I'll never listen to you again.

Interesting logic there. Trump has lied again and again about the election results being false and been proved wrong ... So you will never listen to him again?

Trump won't get convicted mainly because he isn't doing anything the dems don't do

in fact friday was all about showing that exactly....dems do whatever they want and then that includes in impeachment trial, lying is not a problem to them.

i was hoping for a vote today but now they want to be able to put witnesses up there the dems do...

more than likely this will backfire and after dems are done repubs will do the same thing until they are satisfied so if u thought this was ugly before, expect it to get uglier...

in fact before this is over if the dems get ugly the repubs will match their ugliness and i wouldn't be surprised if this devolves into some slapping and punching

trump is at the moment the only non globalist running for prez in the u.s. so there is a lot at stake here especially if you are an atheist with no moral compass at all and want to continue bringing in whatever godless ideas you want to into american government...

trump is a fighter more than i am and whatever the dems throw at him will come back....

all of the above

Where was the proof?

Is the proof because the courts didn't accept his legal challenges or was there actually a forensic analysis of the votes that I never heard of as of yet?

or is the proof that you arent allowed to question the results on social media?

SMH

someone believes he wouldn't lose all of that stuff as he is already out of office...

personally with the dems stretching this out by asking if they can call witnesses...all i think they are doing is showing their hatred...trump stood up to them at every corner...

it's obvious now intimidation is a big part of the dems movement by the censoring what is going on in social media now...

and it really isn't democrat vs. republican...it's bigger than that it's globalism vs. nationalism and christianity...

Revelation 22:2
In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

god is not a globalist, he is a nationalist...the people fighting against trump now the pro globalists are actually pushing the antichrist kingdom and fighting against God which never ends well...
Revelation 20:9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from God out of heaven, and devoured them.

Trump acquitted in second impeachment.

Just goes to prove, what an incompetent baboons
we have in elected office.

Instead of doing trivial stuff,
like actually serving a purpose.
Our elected representatives, proved
what a bunch of worthless douche nuggets
the really are, and let their personal butthurts
to a new level of low.
Even for liberals.





Remind me,
to send Nancy 'butt baby of Howdy Doody' Pelosi,
a My little Pony coloring book, and a participation trophy.


Was it worth it?
Hell yeah!
The left has kept me laughing for 52 years now.
