Ok, so he breaks the law, AGAIN… that’ll be how many times? And how many consequences? And how will he be punished? Who will punish him? Remember, this is an insurrectionist that the administration from 17-21 did not go after because it would have been “taken as political”. So, again, who cares what the law says, because he doesn’t.

Trump has already been impeached twice. What else could they do except attempt to remove him from power, and with what army?

Uh, my point exactly. Mother fucker thinks he’s untouchable because he is. The GOP have kneecapped our democracy to the point that if you are in power, you can do whatever the fuck you want.

Didnt the supreme court decide that a president can do whatever if its an "official act"?

Being impeached doesnt inherently carry consequences.

If you think of it like a trial, the house delivers the guilty verdict (impeachment), and the senate determines the sentencing. The senate basically said, "yea so what? No consequences"

If the senate would do their job too, impeachment would mean something

I think that at this point people should settle on the fact that the only consequences Trump will ever face is in a history book 30 years after WW3/Civil War 2.

Well except in the Reconstruction States because there will be a number of lies that will endure forever, similar to the Lost Cause and Stabbed in the Back myths.

Eh, he's not the first president to do so. Not to dismiss your own anger at this, but not everything can be the absolute last straw.

I think cynicism is keeping a vast majority of Americans peaceful right now. We are being told we need to be peaceful, we feel the need to fight. We all cope with this insanity in different ways man.

We’re waiting on the Kilmar contempt case still aren’t we? (Refusal to turn the planes around)
