    Hello darkness, my old friend
    One of the punishments the Senate can levy, if they convict, is barring him from ever holding federal office again. It's a separate penalty from simply removing him, from what I've read.

    The constitution

    Article 1, Section 3, Clause 7

    "Judgment in Cases of Impeachment shall not extend further than to removal from Office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any Office of honor, Trust or Profit under the United States."

    If he is impeached by both the senate and house and removed from office he can no longer run for president

    Yesterday the occupant of the white house invited a seditious mob to invade the Capital, with incompetence if not collision of law enforcement. And I see page after page of people outraged because someone in a sports chat room said mean things.

    I would absolutely love to hear each and every one of these morons try and articulate why they feel they have the right and privilege to engage in this kind of asshat fashion. I read a small (as it should be) write up on the clown who made himself at home in Pelosi’s office. He sounds like a community minded individual who I assume has a job. He considers himself a “patriot”. How has America (or the left wing socialist conspiracy) let him down in particular? What is his specific complaint?? Or the specific complaints of the rest of these “patriots”. All we hear from them (and their supreme leader) is generalities with little if anything to justify them. No one ever said life was fair and they need to get over it like the other half of the country has had to do. Someone needs to tell them that the white mail patriarchy has had it’s life support pulled and they should prepare for the funeral. They are nothing more than the Joe Bubba Antifa, no matter how they might look at themselves (if they even make the effort).

    They all can just say Trump sent them there. They were following his orders. The orders of the president of the United States. And, it wouldn't be a lie.

    The so called "coup attempt" actually hurt Trump's chances for a legitimate challenge.

    In the interest of better understanding, ill ask if you're calling sly a goat fucker, instead of simply assuming you're calling sly a goat fucker.

    Facebook and Instagram blocked him through the end of his term. Hopefully Twitter is following suit.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    There wasn't any route to a "legitimate challenge," as there still hasn't been any evidence provided for election fraud. Challenging the count in Congress was purely performative.
