In my opinion impeachment will only make him stronger. It was not just build the wall that got him elected. Drain the swamp was just as powerful of a message 4 years ago. I can't imagine a bigger claim to standing up to elites then getting impeached after you left office. Even if by some miracle he is barred from office, his endorsement of someone sharing his name or ethos will only get stronger if they go this route.
The way forward is a guy who wants minors to blowhard and who has leeched off shady dealings with China. Our moral betters have spoken.
Ah yes, I'm just having fun. But not as much fun as it's going to be watching these Lefties tripping over themselves to justify the least enthusiastically supported president in history when he fucks up so bad and is far more corrupted. Watching moral puritans trying to defend that to save face is going to be glorious entertainment.
How about letting the American people decide at future elections? No?
Turtle was right when it comes to the 2k debacle. The ground rules were clear - no buying packs, and they were supposed to only use players they got for free or grinded for. But Trump being Trump stacked his team with galaxy opals, while Mitch had to play mainly with mid 80's reward cards because he followed the rules. Totally unfair.
The American people did decide. Then Trump tried a coup. The constitutional remedy of impeachment, administered by the people the American people elected to congress, is an appropriate measure to take for an impeachable offense, and barring an attempted autocrat from ever holding office again is exactly what needs to happen.
You are of no use when you don't do what your party wants. If your party wants war you better start one or they'll bury you.
We are also getting a preview of the totalitarian state via Twitter, Facebook, etc.
So you don’t trust your fellow countrymen not to reelect somebody you say is an autocrat, a fraud and a criminal? You really think poorly of their intelligence... But if people are so idiotic as to potentially reelect such a monster, should they even have the right to vote? Isn’t it just too dangerous?
A loss is a loss in politics. There is no medal for second place. He couldn't even beat Joe Biden of all people who is a terrible candidate.
I trust that the constitutional remedy was put in place for a reason and waiting around for the next election to settle things is the wrong move. It was the wrong move to wait until this election to have Trump removed as he showed in 2019 he was willing to commit impeachable offenses to win reelection. He showed it after election while throwing the whole electoral system under the bus. He showed it again when he committed a crime in trying to intimidate Georgia election officials into "finding more votes" or "recalculating" so that he won. He showed it again when he incited an insurrectionist mob to storm the capitol. If all of these things don't deserve impeachment, then why is impeachment even in the constitution and why would it specifically bar someone from holding office again?
Completely disagree.
There's a pretty solid argument that he violated the 14th amendment, and offered aid and comfort to insurrectionists.
They need a separate vote to kill his ability to hold office.

I think Trump himself lost sight of what got him elected the first time, and made him such a fresh outsider candidate for many. In 2016, he ran on populist rhetoric, but didn't really specify much. He vowed to bring jobs back, but largely failed to make that materialize - quite famously in some states with some scam tax cuts for giant factories that never turned into what was promised. Ben Shapiro famously endorsed him in 2020 after not endorsing him in 2016, stating correctly that Trump governed as a tax cut neocon for the most part, with one of the sole differences being - not starting another war (even though he assassinated a foreign general). In 2020, his campaign was scattered and largely without a cohesive message. He criticized ANTIFA and declared he was the law and order president, he ran on minimizing COVID, and then the only glimmer of his former self we saw was his endorsement of the 2k checks.
