You can bet your bottom dollar that he will be a big part of the fabric of American politics!
yep. and the way democrats remain totally committed to identity politics, he'll be a perennial presidential frontrunner until we elect the first pillow biter.
His first response claims that the impeachment power does not apply to him because he is no longer president. "The constitutional provision requires that a person actually hold office to be impeached. Since the 45th President is no longer 'President,' the clause �shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for...' is impossible for the Senate to accomplish, and thus the current proceeding before the Senate is void ab initio as a legal nullity that runs patently contrary to the plain language of the Constitution."
Trump also argues that the Constitution does not allow the Senate to disqualify a president from future office unless that president has first been removed from office due to impeachment. "Since removal from office by the Senate of the President is a condition precedent which must occur before, and jointly with, 'disqualification' to hold future office, the fact that the Senate presently is unable to remove from office the 45th President whose term has expired, means that Averment 1 is therefore irrelevant to any matter before the Senate."
...
While the article of impeachment condemns Trump's statements challenging the 2020 election results as "false," Trump defends those statements. He claims he exercised his First Amendment right "to express his belief that the election results were suspect, since with very few exceptions, under the convenient guise of Covid-19 pandemic 'safeguards' states election laws and procedures were changed by local politicians or judges without the necessary approvals from state legislatures."
...
"Insufficient evidence exists upon which a reasonable jurist could conclude that the 45th President's statements were accurate or not, and he therefore denies they were false," Trump argues. "Like all Americans, the 45th President is protected by the First Amendment..... t[T]he Constitution and Bill of Rights, specifically and intentionally protect unpopular speech from government retaliation" (emphasis added).
Read the whole thing.
That's a good point. The fact that Trump is -- was -- president does not mean that the Constitution is suddenly toggled to the "off" position making it legal to criminalize speech and opinions.
But they have to claim this kind of bullshit, because Trump never said anything that would be constitutionally unprotected, like "Let's burn this down."
That's what the antifa agent provocateur said repeatedly in his own video-- and he's already been released without bail.
Resolution impeaching Donald John Trump, President of the United States, for high crimes and misdemeanors.
Resolved, the Donald John Trump, President of the United States, is impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors and that the following article of impeachment be exhibited to the United States Senate:
Article of impeachment exhibited by the House of Representatives of the United States of America in the name of itself and of the people of the United States of America, against Donald John Trump, President of the United States of America, in maintenance and support of its impeachment against him for high crimes and misdemeanors.
ARTICLE 1: INCITEMENT OF INSURRECTION
The Constitution provides that the House of Representatives "shall have the sole Power of Impeachment" and that the President "shall be removed from Office on Impeachment, for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors." Further, section 3 of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution prohibits any person who has "engaged in insurrection or rebellion against" the United States from "hold[ing] and office ... under the United States.' In his conduct while President of the United States — and in violation of his constitutional oath faithfully to execute the office of President of the United States and, to the best of his ability, preserve, provide, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States and in violation of his constitutional duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed — Donald John Trump engaged in high Crimes and Misdemeanors by inciting violence against the Government of the United States, in that:
On January 6, 2021, pursuant to the 12th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, the Vice President of the United States, the House of Representatives, and the Senate met at the United States Capitol for a Joint Session of Congress to count the votes of the Electoral College. In the months preceding the Joint Session, President Trump repeatedly issued false statements asserting that the Presidential election results were the product of widespread fraud and should not be accepted by the American people or certified by State or Federal officials. Shortly before the Joint Session commenced, President Trump, addressed a crowd at the Ellipse in Washington, D.C. There, he reiterated false claims that "we won this election, and we won it by a landslide." He also willfully made statements that, in context, encouraged — and foreseeably resulted in — lawless action at the Capitol, such as: "if you don't fight like hell you're not going to have a country anymore." Thus incited by President Trump, members of the crowd he had addressed, in an attempt to, among other objectives, interfere with the Joint Session's solemn constitutional duty to certify the results of the 2020 Presidential election, unlawfully breached and vandalized the Capitol, injured and killed law enforcement personnel, menaced Members of Congress, the Vice President, and Congressional personnel, and engaged in other violent, deadly, destructive and seditious acts.
President Trump's conduct on January 6, 2021, followed his prior efforts to subvert and obstruct the certification of the results of the 2020 Presidential election. Those prior efforts included a phone call on January 2, 2021, during which President Trump urged the secretary of state of Georgia, Brad Raffensperger, to "find" enough votes to overturn the Georgia Presidential election results and threatened Secretary Raffensperger if he failed to do so.
In all this, President Trump gravely endangered the security of the United States and its institutions of Government. He threatened the integrity of the democratic system, interfered with the peaceful transition of power, and imperiled a coequal branch of Government. He thereby betrayed his trust as President, to the manifest injury of the people of the United States.
Wherefore, Donald John Trump, by such conduct, has demonstrated that he will remain a threat to national security, democracy, and the Constitution if allowed to remain in office, and has acted in a manner grossly incompatible with self-governance and the rule of law. Donald John Trump thus warrants impeachment and trial, removal from office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any office of honor, trust, or profit under the United States.
Amazon announced on Tuesday that Amazon Web Services (AWS) CEO Andy Jassy will replace Jeff Bezos as CEO during the third quarter of this year. Bezos will transition to executive chair of Amazon’s board, which means he’ll still oversee the company.
Bezos founded Amazon in 1994 and since then has morphed it from an online bookstore into a mega online retailer that sells and delivers all sorts of products all over the world. In January of last year, Amazon surpassed a $1 trillion market cap under Bezos’ leadership. It’s now worth more than $1.6 trillion
Resolution impeaching Donald John Trump, President of the United States, for high crimes and misdemeanors.
Actually more like Resolution impeaching Donald John Trump, President of the United States, for the high crime of being Trump and for the misdemeanor of being Trump.

If Lindsey Graham and Liz Cheney had a baby - it would be Mitt Romney.
Well I thought it sad that Pete and his spouse couldn't have a baby.
Though his spouse is his strongest credential for the job.

Congratulations to @PeteButtigieg on becoming the second openly gay member of a President’s Cabinet.
Welcome to the club!
Grenell has a REAL future in leadership and has proved it as he worked his way up.
Mayor Pete... he's like Beto-lite.
ROFLMFAO !!!
This man may have a real future in American politics.
I'd have to agree with the Reverend here.
He's incompetent and a Democrat...
You can bet your bottom dollar that he will be a big part of the fabric of American politics!
Can't wait to see the great things little Peter will do with the US Tranpotation system.
Fellow Traveler James, do you know of his plans?
He's incompetent and a Democrat...

America now has an imbecile in the early stages of dementia as its president. My readers and I see it. The world sees it because there is nothing really special about us. All we have done is ignore the spin.
The world ignores the spin as well because in many lands the media is little more than a puppet for the government.
The world will act accordingly.
Our allies know better than to trust us.
Or should.
If the EU were smart, it would beef up its military because things could get hairy, and we are an unreliable partner. There will be a new war. Just where is anyone's guess. Taiwan seems to be the betting favorite, but history says the USA will try another ground war in Southeast Asia.
Our brief experience with a constitutional republic ended on January 20, just a few months shy of its 232nd anniversary on April 30. That was the date in 1789 when George Washington began his two terms as president.
The nascent technocracy that replaces our constitutional republic is a mixture of Internet Oligarchs and Deep State buffoons. Whereas kings and their courts in Western Europe ruled by divine right, these bozos believe they should rule because they are smarter than the rest of us.
Jack Dorsey, the head of Twitter, banned the president of the United States from his service. That's a lot of power for a fellow who looks like a blue-eyed Osama bin Laden.
The media sees nothing wrong with allowing an unelected billionaire to cancel the will of the American people.
We put the USA in the hands of dangerous imbeciles.
Consider the worship of Tony Fauci. They brought him to Washington nearly 40 years ago to tackle AIDS. AIDS is still around. They rebranded it as HIV. In 2018, there were 15,820 deaths.
His budget, though, is 10 times higher than it was when he began, and he is the highest paid employee in the federal government, raking in $417,608 last year. That's more than the president makes.
What exactly has Fauci done about covid 19? As far as I can tell, his main purpose last year was to foil President Trump. Fauci has a medical degree but really he is a medicrat.
Chairman Xiden is the perfect figurehead for this government of the government by the government and for the government. He does not know what he is doing. Neither do they.
If you’re a reporter with a tough question for the White House press secretary, Joe Biden’s staff wouldn’t mind knowing about it in advance.
According to three sources with knowledge of the matter, as well as written communications reviewed by The Daily Beast, the new president’s communications staff have already on occasion probed reporters to see what questions they plan on asking new White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki when called upon during briefings.
His favorite ice cream is tough
We put the USA in the hands of dangerous imbeciles.
yep.
and alky the imbecile claps like a fucking seal at sea world every time Slow Joe opens his fucking pie hole.
Trump was incompetent, but because he is a Republican your hypocrisy is getting worse .
btw...
antifa.com is directed to whitehouse.gov
try it.
brilliant. as only an imbecile would define brilliance.
