"There is no doubt Donald Trump incited the insurrection on January 6. It happened largely in public and is recorded for prosperity. Let's review the record:"

How does that stop Trump from issuing the Self Pardon, and then resigning.

IMO, If he does resign, it's simply to stop Impeachment, because he might fear that he could actually get convicted by the Senate, and then loses Pension, Free Security and other Perks as a former president.

Resigning would be better for him than Impeachment, and in the end that is the only calculation that matters for Trump.

Exactly why he should be impeached whether he resigns or gets 25thed. Trump deserves nothing from the American people beyond this point, except for a jail cell.

What does impeachment really do at this point? Will the Senate go along with it?

I think it's a waste of time. Let him leave with his tail between his legs and let the states have at him.

Seems someone might be worried about staying in the Bar. We know Guiiani days are numbered in the New York bar. But this current Trump lawyer has resigned and it distancing himself taking part in an insurrection.

Trump campaign attorney suddenly repudiates the president — says he was used to "perpetrate a crime" | Salon.com

In Philadelphia, one of the cities where President Donald Trump's legal team has been making baseless and debunked claims of widespread voter fraud, Trump campaign attorney Jerome Marcus has asked to withdraw from one of the campaign's Pennsylvania-related election lawsuits.

You don't have to say the words, "I am afraid" for me to recognize your opinions are based on fear.

It is your victimhood mentality that claims you are attacked for only simple disagreement. That is not the case, nor is it honest to claim so.

It is how you handwave away any opposing ideas or thoughts, and present your own OPINIONS, as fact and truth even though they are highly unlikely possible eventualities. It's dishonest.

You're simply an egotistical imbecile who considers his own opinions more valid and/or valuable than any who might disagree.

That's why you can fuck off, clown.

If you are driving a fully loaded truck from point A to point B on a hot summer day where your truck is already over heating, and you have two ways to get to point B. Option 1 is relatively flat, won't cause your truck to over heat as much because it is mostly flat. But it is not the shortest distance, so it will take longer to get there and use more gas. Option 2 has a lot of hills, risking damage to your truck because it is a guarantee it will over heat much more often, going over those hills. It's faster and uses less fuel because it is a shorter distance. Both options will get you to point B. Now, you think option 2 is best because it's faster, and you believe either way has a risk of damaging the Truck because your truck is already over heating, Your wife supports choosing option 1, which you don't agree with. Is your wife's support of option one based on fear because she knows it will cause the truck to over heat more often and risk damaging it. Or is it based on the current state of the truck, knowing the hills will make it run hotter?

I don't know how to get you to realize that fear has nothing to do with it. So stop projecting it has to be fear.

It like an inquest into a crime that bring the truth Trumps malfeasance to broader audience. This time Republicans can't block, subpoenas, and as much dirt as we already have on Trump much more can be brought to light, and some of his enablers might get caught in the muck that gets dredged up.

Nothing stopping the dirt found in the Impeachment from being used in Criminal trials.

Also if impeached, he can be banned from holding any office again. Trump never being allowed to ever hold office again, is the most important part of the impeachment outcome.

Making up bad analogies to pretend this isn't about being intimidated by the Trump Mob.
Waiting to act most likely means nothing happens and the lesson they will take from storming the capitol if nothing happens is precisely the opposite of what he hopes. They will learn they can do this with impunity.

So criminals who are tried months later never go to jail, never do time, and/or are never put on death row?

I bet if we wait a few months it never happens. Criminals that commit crimes without any sanction are emboldened, as are those who witness that.
People said that about the first impeachment, yet it actually happening. The Senate jumped into bed with trump on the first impeachment, but it did happen. The difference here, is the crime is directly against the people and democracy of our nation, specifically the Congress members where the target, and the crime was much more dangerous and sinister. It would have happened if delayed, there is no doubt in my mind about that.

Trump didn't change before/during/or after the first impeachment. He won't change after the second impeachment. The only thing that will hold him accountable is him being tried and convicted of treason.

His impeachment won't be holding his followers and those that partook in the insurrection accountable at all. The impeachment done at this time will just fuel the rage. When his followers and the insurrectionists start being tried and going to jail themselves, that is when they they will realize they will be held accountable and most will stop. When I mean going to jail, I don't mean just being arrested as is happening now. I mean being convicted and doing time (real world consequences)

Yes, because Trump was still the president and there was no way to ignore him, unlike now.

This just comes down to a fundamental difference of opinion. I think it is naive and dangerous to let this go and I think that will happen if we wait 3 months. You don’t.

We aren’t willing to take that risk. The idea that Trumpkins will be less angry about impeachment three months from now is likely the opposite of what will happen. It would then be framed as pointless revenge.

There is no way to resolve this but I’m going to stay on the side of caution.

Uhmm, he was part of the insurrection.

It is entirely irrelevant if he changes. You don’t let insurrection go. Ever.

If that is true... then you have to shut him down, or its just going to increase momentum...

He caused desecration of our temple of democracy. Unforgivable. If this isn't an impeachable offense, then nothing is.
thats kinda why I want it.
I want the senators and reps to stand up and say what they really thing, whether its one or the other.
Just like the last impeachment. I want America to know where those people stand.

Yes, he was part of it, he was the instigator. But he wasn't the one actually breaching Congress. You can't just throw him and all his followers into the same pot and call it the same, because it's not, and it won't be taken the same. Two different parts of the insurrection that require two different paths of holding them accountable. No where am I saying let it go. That's the part that irritates me, because everyone instantly equates to suggesting a delay to letting it go. That isn't the case.

Everyone says get him out now, I would agree if there was a path to do so, there isn't, and that is why the "immediate" impeachment is pointless, other than just gasoline on a fire. because there is NO path to do that short of a resignation before the 20th. the 25th amendment process takes longer than 9 days. Impeachment trial won't happen until the 20th at the earliest due to the Senates BS.

You broadly can. They are different crimes but they are both crimes.

Not sure what else to say. I think delay means letting it go. You don’t.

Stop projecting your own feelings onto me. If you actually knew me, you would know I don't get intimidated by anyone.

You done nothing but use weasel words, semantic games, and now bad analogies, that all say exactly the same thing.

We should change our behavior, so we don't upset Trumps Mob of thugs (more than they already are, like it makes a difference).

Fuck them. Unlike you I am against appeasing these terrorist in any way. Keeping them happy shouldn't enter the equation.

But keep beating your fear drum if it makes you happy.
