I think the frame work that a sitting president can't be tried until impeached is sound. If not you would have a never ending load of cases against every president for any conceivable slight. That said once they become a normal citizen again impeachment would no longer be necessary, and cases should go straight to court.

That gets sticky in a situation such as the one we went through only three years ago.  Trump could have called out the military to back his coup attempt and as we've seen, his sycophants in Congress would never impeach him.  Next time, if he's elected and his Project 2025 comes to fruition he'll have vetted loyalists to do his bidding.  If an authoritarian we're to pull it off he'd never become a normal citizen.  In our history we've never had a president need immunity from breaking the law while in office.  There wouldn't be a never ending load of cases.  That hasn't happened before.  Frivolous cases would be bounced immediately.  

The circular logic to authoritarianism

Impeachment is not the vehicle to deal with, for example an insurrectionist, the judicial system is.   But the judicial system is not that vehicle because the president has broad immunity and the president must first be impeached and convicted.

We're witnessing the death of American democracy.  Everything else that is argued about on this board is moot if the executive branch is granted complete immunity.  

Not that there was any doubt left but just to add to the body of evidence that the GOP is now a full fledged authoritarian party, here's the ridiculous and fascistic argument being put forth at the Supreme Court.

No way....

Who wouldn't want to give up after 15 months and absolutely zero evidence of a crime, all the while being publicly mocked - on the record! - by fellow committee members for being a clown. 

 

 

Whaaa...who could have foreseen more MAGA sudsy froth going flat....again?

Pretend for a moment that you were actually grifted into voting for this pathetic excuse for a person not once, but twice.

 

If this applies to whomever is reading this, please evaluate your political choices and disengage from political participation. 

 

But then you read lucid and well crafted totally sane posts like below and you wonder..."maybe giving him another go at the most powerful position in the world is a good idea".

Don’t know.  But he should explain.  
 

Or, it’s because the nominee didn’t want it. Since, that’s why it died.  

Everyone knows why they voted against it and that reason is Trump wanted it killed.  They're cowards.  Even those trying to claim otherwise known this.  They're just doing what they do...spew MAGA disinformation

I actually never did serve so, please, do not use that title for me.

 

But, thank you, for coming around...unless...are you still Pro-Pally?  

Go ahead and dig through the forum to backup your assertion.   I'll give you a week or so.

I know you won't like this...but I am glad to see you finally getting on board with this.  Thank you.  We only have, from what I can tell, 2 posters left, that are Pro-Pally.  

Thank you Capt Strawman

How many GOPers are bought and paid for by the Russians.  One day a book will be written about this "Manchurian Party".  

McCain was right

Of course she didn't write this amendment.  She has zero interest in, and knowledge of, geopolitics but she comes up with this level in detail and insight?

Ok….what changed here?  
 

Moscow Mike has all of a sudden turned a corner. 

Oh I imagine he'll have to bear the brunt of some incoherent rage posts on Truth Social once the sedatives wear off and Don Van Winkle comes to.  

As to what changed?  First, this hasn't hit Biden's desk yet and second, I'm guessing the GOP has seen some pretty horrible internal polls recently.   

Take any random foreign intelligence operation and no way could they come up with a more comical or embarrassing disinformation campaign against the GOP then the GOP's actual day to day clown car towing a dumpster fire inside a three-ring circus s#!t show.  Imagine if your job was to try to spin this comedy any other way.  

Oh boy.  The narcissistic injury has to be brutal for the brat recently and I'm here for it.

Mike lists himself as a business man. I’m guessing he needs to rethink that. 
 

 

I'd say that guy was pumping the stock through his challenged MAGA followers and then shorting the hell out of it.  

Heavily sedated former president and current GOP nominee is falling asleep, again, 30 minutes into day two of his first felony trial.  Take a bird's eye view of that statement.  Well done MAGA.
