Alan Dershowitz says you can't impeach a private citizen and that the earliest the Senate can go to trial is Jan 20th at 1pm.

How many people have stood where Trump did and said to march to the Capitol? I hear it's been a lot of people.
What happened was nothing new, people have marched on that Capitol many times. It may have been the first to have been breached, I haven't looked into that history.

Yeah, they also lob molotov cocktails, like they did this past summer.

Didn't see any of that happening? No fireworks or bricks or frozen water bottles or canned foods.
Poles have been banned from some protest because some groups like ANTIFA like to sharpen them and use them as spears.
I heard the cop that died who was hit with the fire extinguisher died of comorbidities.

They can continue to impeach after he leaves office. They can continue to impeach even if he were to die. Its been done before (not POTUS)
Honestly, its a mistake to impeach trump, and im not just saying that because i support him. Even tho the election was stolen, he still lost. Hes out and Bidens in. Whats the point in beating a dead horse? The Democrats say they're here to unite America. Funny way to unite America by trying to making a circus out of the political system and impeaching someone already out of office. The planes already been grounded. Trump already acknowledged he lost and committed to a peaceful transition of power. What more do they want? This is a political circus and will keep trump in the news long after Biden takes over perpetuating division between supporters and non supporters. Trump's already banned from the internet and out of office... he'll never be the gop candidate again and its impossible for him to win as 3rd party. Plus in 4 years he'll be too old to run, and most likely focused on other things. The impeachment at this moment is more a form of political revenge and not based on practical reasons. They just want to punish him... Sowing more division than unity. Dragging him through the mud on his way out accomplishes nothing but anger. Just let him fade off into history

I agree that the impeachment is a mistake.
That said, there should be an onus of responsibility. Trump said a lot of dumb shit. He's a retard, so it might not be his fault, but he still said it. We can't let this happen again. So there has to be a punishment of some form.

I think it's extremely important that Trump faces impeachment for a number of reasons. For one matter, he won't be able to collect his pension. For another, he won't be able to use the travel discounts granted to non-impeached presidents. For another, he won't be allowed to run for office again.
Most importantly, though, it sends a message about what happened on January 6th this year. Remember that a failed coup that goes unpunished is just a training exercise for the real coup.

Thats hysterical and you only say that because you dont like him. Do you really trump, a multi millionaire cares about his pension or traveling discounts? Its going to do more harm than good. The last thing we need is more reasons for trump supporters or non trump supporters taking it to the streets after hes already out of office

I have no idea how else besides impeachment Trump can be help (relatively) accountable for his behavior in office, especially ever since he lost the election and refused to admit it.
He needs punishment, plain and simple. He has the money and power to get away with literally everything in the civilian world so it's time that changed, he totally brought this on himself

You say that as if disliking Trump is a ludicrous position to hold. Yeah, I don't like Trump, and I think he should face consequences for the horrendous job he's done during his presidency. That's not really a radical position to hold.

They were going to take to the streets either way, and they probably still will even when Trump fades into the background. The unifying force among Trump supporters, deep down inside, isn't really Trump. It's all about white supremacy, ultranationalism, and xenophobia, and Trump is the man most capable of delivering on those values right now. When Trump fades away and becomes nothing more than a nightmarish memory in the collective conscious, a new "strong man leader" type will rise to the occasion, and these same people will flock to him instead.
The important thing is that we demonstrate to the world that we will not allow a fascist takeover of this country.
Oh yeah: It's also interesting how you ignored my point about how the impeachment forbids him from running for the presidency again in the future.

It's an interesting legal point but I don't think he's right. There's absolutely going to be a trial, and the congress does have jurisdiction because the crime was committed during trump's tenure as president and since the proceedings have already begun they a) can't be stopped only postponed, and b) still have to hold a trial. But the trial doesn't only mean he gets removed.
He's a great lawyer but he's also known for being very anti government in his opinions.

There are 72 million who voted for him. Tens of millions who are crazy enough to believe the election was actually stolen. Somehow, we need to bring people together, and the sooner that starts, the better. Impeaching Trump on his way out will only be seen as another act by the "deep state" to neuter the man who tried to stand up to the evil elites.
That mythology will outlive Trump. Now is not the time to make him a martyr. Impeaching him again sends the message that Q was right and Trump became too big of a threat to the powers that be. It's a confirmation of everything they already believe.

How exactly is impeachment punishing him? He doesn't need money, hes already removed from office and he wont run again. Its not like there's a jail sentence tied to it

It's also important so the Trumpkins continue to expose themselves. There is a deep rot at the core of this country and the first step to removing a cancerous growth is identifying it

It is a demonstrable fact that white supremacy is a unifying ideology among Trump supporters. I would almost say it is one of the unifying ideologies for that corner of the political compass.
