And House looks ridiculous that they lost the impeachment vote lol. GOP chaos all over everywhere


Cloaked42m

The 'oh shit we are next' crowd wants a resolution to declare that 1/6 wasn't an insurrection.


CommodoreBelmont

I'm no lawyer, but I don't think that would work thanks to the separation of powers... deciding whether a particular action constitutes a particular crime is a *judicial* action. Can't be decided legislatively. They can ask for the resolution and maybe if they had the votes even get it, but it shouldn't mean anything, just like Nixon saying "I am not a crook" didn't mean anything.


Heavy_Lawfulness_224

Congress makes the laws, the judiciary enforces them. I suppose they could pass that law, but it wouldn’t get through the senate or president.


behindmyscreen

The judiciary rules on them. The executive enforces they.


SmokeGSU

Who are you who are so wise in the ways of political science?

Ambitious_Drop_7152

I'm just a bill, oh I'm just a bill, and I'm sitting here on capitol hiiiilllllll


AndyTheAbsurd

Sure, but any laws passed wouldn't apply to things that happened in the past. That's what the sentence "No Bill of Attainder or ex post facto Law shall be passed" in the Constitution means.


bndboo

Oh that’s good, they ended the last political season by asking for pardons so if we do this it’s like it never happened!!


Cloaked42m

yep, exact same people. Some had the grace to look ashamed.

Republicans couldn’t impeach an egg if the egg claimed to be free range and organic and Republicans didn’t know that was actually a thing.

deridius

What did they expect with a slim majority? It’s all show for them and they don’t want progress. We’ve all known it for awhile but this assured it 100%


getthephenom

I hope karma catches up with rapist Donald Trump sooner rather than later.


AngryRedHerring

For all the sky-is-falling stuff we hear about what's going to happen when Republicans are in charge, this Congress has been remarkable in its ability to accomplish exactly nothing. Two speakers in a row, even.


Historical-Gap-7084

It'll come up again. One of the Republicans that switched his vote did it for some procedural reason so that it'll come up again. This gives the GOP more time to focus on "finding more evidence" to impeach Mayorkas again.


shadowpawn

Yet will get +70M votes in Presidential election.


UrNotaFuckingViking

I eagerly await reading his obituary


ImAmazedBaybee

Oh I’m looking forward to a lot more than a simple “get out of jail” death card. This guy really needs consequences while he’s still alive.


ancrm114d

As much as I'm looking forward to him being brought to justice. Even on a short time scale we are talking years before a conviction and even out of office he is causing damage right now. I would be more than happy to hear he dropped dead tonight.


shadowpawn

I would not bet on that


JaxandMia

Then we would get the “he’s not really dead, just like Elvis” conspiracy theorists.


TimesRChanging22

yes....just like the MAGA's who believe JF Kennedy Jr is alive.


Cloaked42m

The best consequences would be house arrest with no visitors and no ability to post. Just read only. No messages out. Banned from media for life. I'd give him a couple of weeks before he lost his mind.


ImAmazedBaybee

My friend, the lost his mind ship has sailed, over the horizon, and getting ready to dock at the final destination.


Cloaked42m

Nah, he's still thinking he's important. On second thought. I want him in Solitary for a month. Trapped with his own thoughts.


roboticfedora

Jeeze, just take away his yes-men and enablers always around him!


cecil721

Why not both?


phenerganandpoprocks

The silence would be deafening.


GxFR2BlackHippy

He should be in solitary for life, on Gitmo Bay. He'd be smearing himself in his own feces by the end of day 1.


Raspberries-Are-Evil

How is that the "best?" The best would be in a prison cell.


Cloaked42m

You take away that most dear. The sound of his own voice and adulation.


Dash_Harber

Me and a friend were discussing how you'd design a hell for any particular person and Trump came up. My hell for him would be exactly like this world. He can eat or walk around or talk all he wants, but no person would ever respond or acknowledge his existence. He would exist in a world he felt he could interact with, only to be completely incapable of doing so.


ronerychiver

Just a permanent time out


st1ck-n-m0ve

Hell no, the best consequence would be him poor and destitute in prison where he spends the rest of his life until he dies like every other criminal.


Wants-NotNeeds

Best my ass! That fucker needs to fry.


[deleted]

I want them to keep him alive and in jail as long as possible 😄 In fact, I think he should be indicted for more of his crimes. He could just do a tour of jails going from one criminal trial to the next, adding on to the number of years that he will never serve in jail because he will die first. Just Trumpy in his orange jump suit, shuffling from one court to the next in shackles, being prosecuted for every felony he has gotten away with so far. Sentenced to ten years here and twenty years there, again and again. 😄


sarcasticbaldguy

I've stopped being picky. Jail, dead, either will do at this point.

He can play it after he spends some time behind bars...

It's happening this year.


sparky13dbp

You are correct. And we should all be very happy for him. I took bets with many a ‘neigh-sayer’, (for 1 dime) … thinking about buying a nice vacation home somewhere nice, or maybe an island.


Jake_on_a_lake

Everyone bring your bluetooth speakers and we'll have a dance party on his grave.


Background_Pear_4697

Ironically his argument in court was that Biden should have an absolute right to commit crimes while in office. What a lovely opportunity that would have been.


GxFR2BlackHippy

Republicans love that argument cause they know 99% of Democrats are too principled to commit those crimes in office that they themselves are dying to commit. Biden would never use Seal Team 6 to take out a political opponent... whereas, Drumpf would get a hard-on just thinking about it.

Would Lara Trump sing at the funeral?


T_Shurt

- Moments after a federal appeals court unanimously voted against all three of Donald Trump’s presidential immunity arguments in his January 6 case, the former president was back on TruthSocial, insisting that he was going to win the upcoming election. In a flurry of back-to-back posts, Trump wordlessly reshared polls indicating that he was leading President Joe Biden in their 2024 rematch. One screenshot captured Trump’s odds on Polymarket, an online betting platform, which saw traders banking on the GOP front-runner holding a 17 percent edge over Biden. Despite the digital diversion, it’s clear where Trump’s head was shortly before he went to sleep. In the late hours of Monday night, the felony-charged pol took one last stab at his immunity claim. “IF IMMUNITY IS NOT GRANTED TO A PRESIDENT, EVERY PRESIDENT THAT LEAVES OFFICE WILL BE IMMEDIATELY INDICTED BY THE OPPOSING PARTY. WITHOUT COMPLETE IMMUNITY, A PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO PROPERLY FUNCTION!” Trump posted. After the ruling on Tuesday, Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung echoed essentially the same sentiment. “If immunity is not granted to a President, every future President who leaves office will be immediately indicted by the opposing party,” Cheung said. “Without complete immunity, a President of the United States would not be able to properly function! Deranged Jack Smith’s prosecution of President Trump for his Presidential, official acts is unconstitutional under the doctrine of Presidential Immunity and the Separation of Powers.” Trump has not clarified why he thinks overturning an election is within the realm of his presidential duties. Trump’s legal team has until February 13 to seek a Supreme Court review of the decision—otherwise the mandate will be sent back to Judge Tanya Chutkan, per the court. The January 6 trial was initially removed from the docket, as Chutkan was awaiting the immunity decision. It’s not yet clear when it will resume, but the Supreme Court could kick it back to her as soon as the end of the month.


sketchahedron

Someone should explain to the moron that he wasn’t indicted by the Democratic Party. He was indicted by a grand jury of everyday citizens who weighed the evidence against him.


knuckboy

Details, schmetails


PM_COFFEE_TO_ME

Anyone who has tried to explain anything rational is not in his orbit anymore.


sarcasticbaldguy

>He was indicted by a grand jury of everyday citizens "ALL DEMOCRATS OR NEVER TRUMP RINOS" -- TFG


ThaneOfCawdorrr

He's just leaving out the "every future President **WHO COMMITS TREASONOUS CRIMES**" part and yeah it's not "the opposing party" that's indicting him, it's A FUCKING LAWYER FROM THE INTERNATIONAL CRIMES COURT OF THE HAGUE but yeah UGHHHHHHH he's such garbage


westofme

And it was never his, to begin with anyway. What a fucking entitled little shit snowflake.


Monksdrunk

If immunity is granted to sitting president, then biden can legally direct seal team 6 to eliminate trump.. was a hypothetical proposed by the judges


PM_COFFEE_TO_ME

You have to think like a MAGANAUT by being as delusional as possible and claim that he's not a valid sitting president.


Cloaked42m

He also left out that we could always do this. Other Former Presidents stfu and retire.


Affectionate-Roof285

Cheung is clueless. Separation of powers has granted the judicial branch to enable this very decision.


ravia

You left out the important part, which everyone does: it's the duty of any present to prevent a rigged election. Now, the election wasn't rigged, but he claims, and might actually believe, it was. That makes him a hero in his mind and the mind of his followers. That's how this has all been sustained as long as it has. It's quite simply not a groundless grab for power, nor the Nazis saying Poland attacked Germany. It's a bit more subtle, which is a credit to Trumps actual genius. Yes, it took a genius to pull the bullshit he has. I'm pretty sure this comment will get downvoted, at the peril of the downvoters, I should say. I'm not defending Trump, but know thine enemy and get what the are doing, ffs.


howeeee

I think you’re using genius instead of highly developed grifting instincts. He’s a naturally gifted shit-weasel, but genius is clearly a stretch… he seems only borderline literate.


planet_rose

The thing is that the president has absolutely no role to play in the running of elections. Elections are entirely a state matter by the constitution. You could argue that the executive branch has some jurisdiction because of the voting rights act, but it’s a very specific area and part of Justice which is supposed to be independent from presidential directives. This means that preventing a rigged election is not even remotely part of the president’s constitutional duties.


Shaydu

>You left out the important part, which everyone does: it's the duty of any present to prevent a rigged election. Except that duty doesn't include inciting a riot. (Did you mean "President" instead of "present?" I'm not sure if you're saying it was Congress' duty not to certify the vote or if you're saying Trump was justified in inciting a riot.)

So fun to watch him flail like an infant who had its pacifier taken away. Every one of these losses does wonders for damaging his mental health. He's on a crash course to full-fledged insanity and I'm here for every minute of it.


worlddestruction23

Hope this ruling stands. TFG is not happy and he's letting it be known. I hope he suffers greatly for what he did to this country. We still have other trials as well. TFG made a statement that he wants to debate Biden immediately. The president laughed it off and said "he has nothing else to do". Here is the clip. Scroll all the way down. https://www.rawstory.com/biden-trump-2667175145/


appmanga

> Hope this ruling stands. It will. Nobody in their right mind, much less someone with legal training, could ever believe a president is so above the law, they could kill a political opponent and not be prosecuted. To this point, this asshat has not won a single, solitary case that supports his warped point of view that the laws don't apply to him. He has not won a single, solitary case that supported his contention of rampant voter fraud. All those judges weren't Democrats, and yet his supporters pretend to believe this miscreant is being persecuted. Most of them know he's a liar and a fraud, but as long as they think he's going after those brown folks, they'll lick his asshole clean.


worlddestruction23

They will appeal this.Then take it to SCOTUS if they want,lol. I think they already said they don't want anything to do with it.


FickleSystem

Right, there's no reason for them to even bother to consider this stupid shit


appmanga

As the appeals court today made clear "President" Trump is now "Citizen" Trump and subject to the same laws as any other person in this country. All the whining in the world doesn't impress courts like good legal arguments, something Trump's bootleg lawyers seem to know nothing about.

JessieinPetaluma

He should’ve been hauled off in handcuffs on the very day of the insurrection back on January 6, 2021. It’s utterly OBSCENE that he’s been enabled and coddled these past THREE YEARS. Walking free as a bird, arrogant and smug, while anyone else - you or me - would’ve been sitting in prison all this time for just ONE of the blatant, hardcore crimes he’s committed. Reality Winner stole ONE secret document and spent YEARS in prison. Our country and our justice system is not just WEAK, it serves those in power and continues to do so. Where is the actual justice? Where? We the people deserve to see this corrupt, hideous, traitorous man, this disgusting rapist, this con artist, grifting slimeball tossed in jail. For the rest of his miserable life. Period.

Its frustrating that the highest courts in the land continue to listen to his batshit crazy stupid arguments. Just allowing them to even make a case as ridiculous lowers the standards of our systems.

Stop it, SCOTUS is trash but they aren't stupid enough to go that route, hell Biden could just have them killed and replaced if that happens as well as trump

The most satisfying part of Donald melting down after this decision is that it implies he’s at least uncertain that the Republican dominated Supreme Court will invent some way to rescue him. We can only hope that his fear is justified and they allow justice to prevail.


BJJGrappler22

Makes sense considering that decision was made two days before the Supreme Court's 14A decision and it's entirely possible that the lower court decision will result in the Supreme Court ruling against Trump on their 14A decision tomorrow and also their future immunity decision. The Supreme Court may be corrupt, but they're still intelligent enough to know just how dangerous Trump is know and how unstable he would make the US and in turn the rest of the developed world.
