    What’s the point of impeaching someone that is no longer in office? Not sure I’ve heard a single good reason other than it keeps Bad Orange Man from running in 2024

    There is some financial benefit if he gets convicted. As he loses these if convicted:

    1) Office spacing and staffing allowance

    2) Annual pension, roughly $221k year

    3) $1m annual travel allowance, and former first lady gets $500k

    But the greatest benefit is that it creates a distraction from the incoherence and stumbling you'll see and hear on a daily basis from Biden.


    Not even sure if that happens. This would be breaking new ground for the impeachment and the impact if convicted.

    it will all go to court. The Supremes will rule in favor of whatever Epstein wants - see previous poast with details about Epstein

    If the chief justice refuses you can't have an impeachment.

    Of course no due process already precluded any impeachment.

    This is to attract attention while they hand us over to China.

    That doesn’t look like John Roberts at all.

    Although the real Roberts looks like a pedophile to me and is obviously compromised in some way. Rewriting Obamacare as a tax was simply a miscarriage of justice by SCOTUS.

    Since he is out that means it is 100% unconstitutional

    Seems like something that could easily be decided before a trial and subsequent 14th amendment challenge.

    It comes in to play when Trump runs in 2024 and the dems try and sue to keep him out and that assumes he is even convicted. He won't be.

    Yes.
