Vorg Posted January 22, 2021 #2 Share Posted January 22, 2021 He's out of Office so they should just let it go, but I think the reason is so he cannot hold public office again. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will be able to hold office of his own because he is the best businessman in America. America is just a bigger corporation. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, if he is convicted then the taxpayers don't have to pay for his secret service or his monthly stipend that all ex-presidents get. Just on that the impeachment needs to continue. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is the way to heal. The only way, actually. You've got a splinter in your nation's flesh. It literally tried to tear your nation apart. Wasn't big enough to do that, but it tried. No healing is possible until that splinter is taken out. It would just keep on causing inflammation of the surrounding tissue and possibly even causing a sepsis. It has to be taken out. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See, this is what happens when propaganda starts backfiring. You've seen - the whole world did - exactly how many true Trump believers there are, and that number is shrinking daily. Even that shaman from the attack on Capitol is complaining that he feels let down by Trump or something. Voting for Trump and dying for Trump are two very different things. And soon it'll be hard to find someone who will admit they voted for that embarrassment. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it has to be done. I believe you've got people wise and professional enough to do it precisely, without unnecessary damage. It's extremely important that everything about Trump's "administration" and the coup attempt gets out in public. The conviction alone is not important, in my humble opinion. But it's extremely important that there's no shadow of doubt left who Trump was, who his enablers were, what was their goal and what methods they used. It's the only way to stop them from coming back, projecting their fascist methods and intentions on others, getting support of the spiteful and naive, until they find someone not stupid to actually seize the power. It would be cataclysmic mistake to confuse reconciliation (an absolutely needed and very possible process) for surrender to unrepentant totalitarians. In other words, Republicans have sane and constructive people too. It's their turn. Trumpers screwed up beyond repair. But it's their brand, doesn't have to be Republican... not anymore, hopefully. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem I have with this sentiment is that it essentially gives a sitting President the power to do whatever he chooses as long as there's not time to hold a trial for impeachment afterwards. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being from Washington state I know many democrats and they truly believe republicans are evil. I mean like nazi evil. It was quite easy to get that impression lately, to be honest. There are honourable exceptions, but an average Republican did watch Trump smear his literally anti-American and literally totalitarian dirt on everything, Constitution and Capitol included. Republican party members seem to be prone to hold the party line. Which is a little oldfashioned, but doesn't have to be evil, if the party platform is not evil. And Trump's platform was cartoonishly evil. But thank god, everyone involved was cartoonishly incompetent. Anyway. If the sane and constructive people take over, it could be the end of the decades of degrading in that part of your political life. It's not naivety speaking, it's just common sense: the hostile, spiteful, shortsighted political model has reached the bottom. It doesn't generate profit anymore, in power or in finances. Yes, I know, it's always possible to start digging lower, but it's not likely. It's absolutely time for a new, non-Nazi (yeah, Trump was spouting quasi-Nazi crap, you can't fool Europeans about that) and reAmericanized image of the Republicans. Hopefully, the abomination will form its own party and make the task easier for the sane Republicans. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now the sane part of the world's population has the answer to the perplexing question - why are American troglodytes accusing Obama of wanting to install himself for a dictator, for life, for whatnot, going against Constitution etc... projection. Classic projection. Every single thing they were raving Obama will do is what they attempted to do. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
