Meh. The republicans are going to gerrymander their way into ~6 house seats, and flip the house. That's even without factoring in the ruling party usually losing seats in the midterms.

I don't think you need mens rea in civil procedure, that's more of a criminal justice thing. I'm actually feeling pretty well about these defamation suits. There's still a good chance that things will be settled out of court, for an undisclosed amount, though.

Absolutely disgusting clear once again. Great run.

Impeachment is a purely political remedy, so it doesn't really matter that they're prosecuting for every possible crime they can, as long as they impeach. The rioters and instigators of it should be slapped with every law on the books that can be used against them in criminal court, though.

What Bush did do was start two wars over vague accusations of terrorism that destabilised an entire region and left well north of a million people dead.

The filibuster isn't gone and republicans still have enough seats in the senate to stonewall any legislation with it. As long as Dems like Manchin aren't for dismantling the it, it's not going to change.

I don't think trump 2024 is going to split the republican party, same as I don't think they'll bar him from ever holding federal office again. But I guess we'll see. In the meantime we get to laugh at trump getting perpwalked out of mar a lago

Paul Erickson – President Trump has issued a full pardon to Paul Erikson. This pardon is supported by Kellyanne Conway. Mr. Erickson’s conviction was based off the Russian collusion hoax. After finding no grounds to charge him with any crimes with respect to connections with Russia, he was charged with a minor financial crime. Although the Department of Justice sought a lesser sentence, Mr. Erickson was sentenced to 7 years’ imprisonment—nearly double the Department of Justice’s recommended maximum sentence. This pardon helps right the wrongs of what has been revealed to be perhaps the greatest witch hunt in American History This pardon is A+

self pardon incoming

Republicans are doubling down

Conservative Americans care a lot about social issues like gay rights, abortion rights and trans rights, and by and large racial rights. In that they want to ban and supress.

We'll see what happens at the inauguration. I wasn't expecting violence at the certification, but look where we are now.

If you feel like reading it, the thread that got anacybele banned is still around. I'd recommend to everyone to just drop the subject though.

We haven't heard from McConnell yet so it's probably a no from him on impeachment. Not surprising, still disgusting.

Trump banned pence from the WH yesterday. That's forever ago, OldyMcOldson, get with the times.

Pence status: hiding in the toilet.

Pelosi says the democrats will impeach if the cabinet doesn't 25th amendment trump Guess we'll have to see what McConnell has to say.

Waiting on what Pelosi has to say. If it's not impeachment time I'm not gonna be happy

His first impeachment lasted less than two weeks, off the top of my head, and involved a week of testimony. All of that can be skipped now. In all honesty, just impeachment isn't the solution I want. I want trump to be removed from power under the 25th amendment, and then impeached and banned from ever holding public office ever again.

I was just told that the president can blanket pardon people for crimes committed in DC. It's probably time to start calling your senators and telling them to impeach.

At least the insurrectionists are being treated more appropriately now

DC is one of the most dem leaning areas in the country. We still have police taking selfies with insurrectionists inside the capitol

I noticed a few recent joiners who haven't posted much else lurking this thread. Those are usually trumpers. Ssjbardock is also still around.

So, no trumpers willing to speak out for their god-emperor?
