So as I understand it...

If Trump is successfully impeached for a 2nd time.

He loses:

- An ex presidents salary.
- An ex presidents homes.
- An ex presidents secret service protection.
- Cannot run for office ever.

On top of that he could end up spending 20 years + in a supermax prison somewhere for other charges.

In the meantime he still has his finger on the buttons and could do allot of further damage to the USA by leaking information to Russia, such as daily briefings etc.

On the above I think the Democrates need to step back and think things through a bit more. Does Biden want to see this through or concentrate on Covid and other stuff as many die hard Reuplicans will see a witch hunt and act accordingly,

Just my opinion....
:shock: Losing his salary, homes and SS protection sounds even better than not being able to run for office. :D

I'm not worried about his nuclear codes, the military know he's not of sound mind and will refuse. He'll probably send the wrong codes anyway.

The guy with the horns is in prison and refusing to eat anything that's not organic, but they didn't say whether he's getting the food requested or having to starve. I hope it's the latter. :)

What did they expect :lol: No Goverment in power is gonna want the threat of big tech censoring them and fact labeling their tweets. Goverments are built on lies, slurs & finger pointing. They made their bed.

This is getting more and more disgusting. Some of the rioters smeared there faeces on the walls!

It's not clear whether they did it at home and carried it in a bag or crapped in the hallways surrounded by rioters. If the latter, did they have toilet paper? Did they wash their hands?

The oracle strikes again!

A judge has asked the prison authorities to look into it (at the request of his lawyer).

His Mom says he has only ever eaten organic and has a dicky stomach... I get the impression he still stays with her.

The fact that Trump was allowed to spread so much bullshit for four years is evidence to the contrary.
So exactly when would you have cancelled the democratically elected POTUS?

It's authoritarian know-alls like you who try to drown out / silence others who are behind cancel culture.
Don't you dare to argue with "commissar Derek"! :lol:

The Founding Fathers never envisioned a leftist America.

They'll be turning in their graves at the way it is going (and would likely get banned from Twitter if they were alive today).
Who cares what a bunch of old guys from the 1700s envisioned? :lol:

YT has regular purges of people on the right it doesn't agree with (but who have committed no criminal offence).

Last week they briefly took down TalkRADIO because they had the gall to interview someone with an opposing lockdown view and Andrew Doyle's parody Twitter account Titania McGrath was suspended because he posted a joke about fat women.

Big Tech is stuffed full of leftist, snowflake authoritarians (on the non-tech side) - witness the James Damore Google memo incident.

The British government should do more to protect free speech. Democracy is nothing without it.

Those on the left who delight in these bans (because it favours their side) should be careful what they wish for. You can never be woke enough for these twats. Don't think they won't come for you too in the end.
