His time in the White House is ending in repudiation everywhere he looks. After losing his own bid for re-election, Trump cost Republicans their Senate majority by depressing turnout in last week’s Georgia run-offs with his false claims of election fraud. He has been banned from Twitter and his approval rating has plummeted to all-time lows: a Quinnipiac University poll this week put his favourability at 33 per cent.- a stain on his record that will never be expunged.
Crossing the floor to vote against Trump took real political courage for these Republicans, many of whom represent districts where Trump remains overwhelmingly popular. They will now likely face death threats and primary challenges for following their conscience. A pessimist would note that - even after a violent mob invaded their own workplace, including some who threatened to hang Vice-President Mike Pence - only five per cent of House Republicans had the fortitude to impeach Trump.
KnottMatthew It’s a start: 1. Impeach, twice. ✅ 2. Convict - could happen this time, with senatemajldr support. 3. Disqualify from any future federal office. 4. Prosecute for every crime in the last four years, and before. 5. Jail, for a very long time.
KnottMatthew Biden impeachment
KnottMatthew Actually the plan is to push to disqualify him from ever holding office again. That would put an end to this whole chapter of US political history.
KnottMatthew Agreed: better than nothing and not nearly enough. No change is likely. A Republican is already rumored to call for impeachment proceedings for Biden on Jan 21. With the paid benefits of an ex-president, American taxpayers are literally paying the price of failed leadership.
KnottMatthew The cities burned for more than six months before the election, the SMH didn’t notice.
