One of the representatives made a good point. Impeachment is a fundamental constitutional power, along with taking the country to war there is nothing more serious than using that power. They already made a mockery of declaring war. Now they've done the same with impeachment. It carries as much weight as a parking ticket after this. Let that sink in when a president like me eventually takes power. You'll love to see it.

I think Trump is a cunt of the highest order, and he's clearly wound up his supporters into a frenzy and almost certainly condoned their actions privately, but I don't know where I stand on this latest impeachment.
There's no hard evidence that what happened was his intention (though we all know it was), and he'll just point to the fact that he condemned them when faced with cameras. It opens a can of worms.
See Jonathan Pie on his banning from Twitter. That summed it up perfectly

Yes, I agree with JP too. Don't turn the wanker into a martyr.
The thing I don't really get about the impeachment is that they (the house) had a perfect opportunity to put the attempted fraud charge at him at the same time. (Just find me.11,800 votes). Yet, they chose not to do so.
I do agree, the only way it passes the senate is if republicans want to try and block him running in 2024.

I've just read that when the trial in the Senate goes ahead if there isn't enough for a two thirds majority. There will be a second vote to block him from standing in 2024. The second vote only requires a simple majority.
Therefore, the smart money would be on that being the final outcome and Trump using all the millions of dollars he's just acquired from campaigning/scamming his hard core cult followers.. on legal challenges against the ruling as it's only a simple majority.

There may be more that one case he needs to fund his lawyers for - and some of the others might be more pressing than whether he can attempt a coup in 2024.
I don't think the vote to stop him from running can go ahead unless they've already voted in favour of removing him
That's not what I read, as if they get two thirds majority, then he's automatically barred for running again.
However, this is all new ground. Tremendous achievement by Donnie.
Let's see. If they get access to what he was communicating behind the scenes then he's fucked, and rightly so. I couldn't give a toss of they decided to hang him, frankly.
Just two weeks ago, Trump was considered the Republican Party's “kingmaker” whose influence would loom for the foreseeable future. But last Wednesday, everything changed.
Some of Trump’s prominent business supporters have begun forcefully backing away from the president.
"I feel betrayed. OK?" billionaire businessman Ken Langone, co-founder of Home Depot and a major GOP donor, told CNBC on Wednesday morning. “Last Wednesday, if it doesn't break every American's heart, something's wrong. I didn't sign up for that."
"I’m going to do everything I can from Day One to make sure I do my part to make Joe Biden the most successful president in the history of this country,” Langone said.
Stephen Schwarzman, the billionaire CEO of Blackstone and one of Trump's biggest donors in the financial sector, has also thrown his support behind Biden. After the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, Schwarzman said he was "shocked and horrified by this mob’s attempt to undermine our constitution. As I said in November, the outcome of the election is very clear and there must be a peaceful transition of power.”
Close Trump business allies told NBC News that the shift away from the president is real and unlike anything seen in his history.
Now they’re worried what the increasingly cornered and desperate Trump might do in his remaining days in office.
The implosion of support represents the self-inflicted diminishment of the Trump brand from an imprimatur of glitz, luxury and excess to a piece of hard-flint political extremism, and will severely undermine his ability to capitalize on his name in the traditional business sense after he departs the White House.
Trump's ability to raise money could now be reduced to leveraging his claims of election fraud — but even here, some donors are suing to get their money back and payment processors are severing ties. Potential foreign backers for Trump, his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, and extended family may be wary of tainted ties and diminished access.
Meanwhile, the business backlash against the president for his role in the deadly attacks on the Capitol continues to grow.
After Deutsche Bank and Signature Bank, two of Trump's preferred lenders, said they would no longer do business with the president,Professional Bank, a lending entity based in Florida that has lent Trump’s company millions of dollars, said on Tuesday that it, too, was cutting ties.
“Professional Bank has decided not to engage in any further business with the Trump Organization and its affiliates, and will be winding down the relationship,” Todd Templin, a public relations representative for the company, told NBC News in an emailed statement.

Only problem I have with this, is if he were called Abdul Muhammad Trump and he said the exact same words he said about there "being consequences" and how his people "should stand up and fight" against evil people (basically a Jihad).. and then a bunch of armed Muslims went and attacked Capitol Hill, and an IED device was found within the premises, as well as an officer dying, would anyone on here say, "well, there's no hard evidence what happened was his intention"?
Trump, like those radical muslim clerics, is not stupid. They/He choose(s) their words very carefully. They know the charged language they use will anger people into doing stupid things. But they don't come out and explicitly say what they mean, because they know they're liable to be imprisoned, if they do.
He's fucked anyway. All his lenders have binned him, most of his major donors have binned him, New York just binned him. His name is dirt. I think they want to impeach him so he loses his million quid a year travel allowance and security detail because it's all he'll have soon.
Why the fuck is the pound doing so well against the dollar? I bill an American client quarterly and i just got ten percent less than three months ago. I thought the economy there was booming and we've had brexshit but it's moved like ten cents in the last three months. How the fuck does that work?
If the UK is going to shit then people will get rid of pounds. But you can't just treat that as a straight line correlation because as things continue going to shit, you reach a point where you know the central bank and government have to step in with stimulus, so now you suddenly flip your view and want to rebuy all those pounds.
Vacinne rollout timescales.
Half of fuck all is what she’ll get - ‘cause that’s what he owns.
Shaping up to be an absolute bargain if this keeps up! I'd definitely be keeping an eye out to invest at around the 0 to 1 level. Maybe 1.5 at a push.
Obviously it still has nothing to do with them taking a fascist approach to anyone with a different view to them and in doing so fatally undermining democracy around the world.
