Congress has already disqualified Trump from the ballot

[MagicMike]

Trump was exonerated in his second 'impeachment'.

Far from the truth.
Do I need to provide the text of Mitch McConnel's speech on this YET AGAIN?
The Senate Majority Leader said that even though Trump was guilty he couldn't recommend a vote for conviction since Trump was by that time a private citizen therefore impeachment was not necessary to remove him from office.
McConnel did say however that nobody should think that Trump had "gotten away with anything" as now that he is a private citizen he is accountable to the courts, who can address his criminality.

Cute of you to pine for McConnell, but that doesn't change the Constitutional requirements for guilt. Not guilty means you folks lost. Get over it.

 

[noonereal]

He was found not guilty by the Senate

Wrong, chuckie.
He simply escaped impeachment as impeachment requires a 2/3 vote.
There were far more than half, 50 votes.
Also, impeachment is a political mechanism NOT a legal remedy.

 

[noonereal]

Trump has never been "exonerated" for anything in any court, EVER.

Qft

He has never won any case, civil or criminal. He has hide behind bankruptcies and NDAs most often

Well, he won't be able to do that in the cases pending. Slime ball will finally face the music.

 

[WEATHER53]

No lib will answer this question
Trump will be unable to appear on Presidential ballots because Congress says so?

 

[MagicMike]

Nope.
You are full of shit.
Nobody ever uttered the words "no guilt."
In fact the official statement said just the opposite.
Now you can stick your head up your own ass and refuse to see the facts....but you don't get to just make up your own set of alternative facts in place of the real ones.



American citizens attacked their own government. They used terrorism to try to stop a specific piece of democratic business they did not like.
Fellow Americans beat and bloodied our own police. They stormed the Senate floor. They tried to hunt down the Speaker of the House. They built a gallows and chanted about murdering the vice president.
They did this because they had been fed wild falsehoods by the most powerful man on Earth – because he was angry he'd lost an election.
Former President Trump's actions preceding the riot were a disgraceful dereliction of duty.
The House accused the former president of, quote, "incitement." That is a specific term from the criminal law.
Let me put that to the side for one moment and reiterate something I said weeks ago: There is no question that President Trump is practically and morally responsible for provoking the events of that day.
The people who stormed this building believed they were acting on the wishes and instructions of their president.
And their having that belief was a foreseeable consequence of the growing crescendo of false statements, conspiracy theories, and reckless hyperbole which the defeated president kept shouting into the largest megaphone on planet Earth.

And then there's this:

Put another way, in the language of today: President Trump is still liable for everything he did while he was in office, as an ordinary citizen, unless the statute of limitations has run, still liable for everything he did while in office, didn't get away with anything yet – yet.
We have a criminal justice system in this country. We have civil litigation. And former presidents are not immune from being held accountable by either one.

Before you start making a fool of yourself by tossing around phrases like "not guilty" you should read the full statement (verdict) here.
You will find you don't see those words anywhere in there.
You are just making it up.

For one, your fallacious claim that I said he was exonerated.

You were supporting the claim even if you're too lazy to see what you were supporting.
For one.

 

[Dadoalex]

Nope, I'm not lying to anyone. I'm arguing your silly assertion that it's meaningful. It's not. It's nothing more than some members of Congress expressing their opinion. It's not of any legal significance so it will not play any role in the Supreme Court's upcoming ruling on Trump v. Anderson.

Apparently you forgot the topic of the thread which is about whether Congress already banned Trump from office.
WHICH is only about certain Senators expressing their opinion.

Not that I would expect you to understand what you're arguing about.
In MAGADUMIA understanding is not only not required, it is banned.

Here's one of Benedict Donald's indictments.

https://www.justice.gov/storage/US_v_Trump_23_cr_257.pdf

4. Shortly after election day, the Defendant also pursued unlawful means of discounting legitimate votes and subverting the election results. In so doing, the Defendant perpetrated three criminal conspiracies:

a. A conspiracy to defraud the United States by using dishonesty, fraud, and deceit to impair, obstruct, and defeat the lawful federal government function by which the results of the presidential election are collected, counted, and certified by the federal government, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 371;

b. A conspiracy to corruptly obstruct and impede the January 6 congressional proceeding at which the collected results of the presidential election are counted and certified ("the certification proceeding"), in violation of 18U.S.C. § 1512(k);

c. A conspiracy against the right to vote and to have one's vote counted, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 241.

SO FUCKING WHAT?

YOU FUCKTARDS DIDN'T CARE WHEN THE DNC FUNDED 8 MONTHS OF RACIAL RIOTS.

25 PEOPLE DIED. YOU DIDN'T CARE.

LEFTARDS TRIED TO DECLARE THEMSELVES AN INDEPENDENT COUNTRY, FORCEFULLY TAKING OVER THE CENTER OF SEATTLE. YOU DIDNT CARE.

LEFTARD MAYORS ENCOURAGED AND SUPPORTED AND EVEN FUNDED MULTIPLE FELONIOUS CRIMINAL CONSPIRACIES AND YOU DIDNT CARE.

Leftards are thoroughly, completely, full of shit.

This is fake news. Also, your caps lock is stuck.

 

[scruffy]

Yes they did dumbass. Good God man, you shouldn't even be posting, when you don't know the basic facts.

Do you even know what thread you are in?

lol

Nice try

 

[MagicMike]

lol

Nice try

Hey Scruff....you sound triggered and you're not making much sense.
Maybe you need to go to your safe space for a little while huh snowflake?

 

[scruffy]

He was not exonerated. He escaped impeachment by a minority vote.
A VERY different thing..

He most certainly was found to have committed treason.

Horseshit.

You leftards are fucking LYING SCUM.

 

[scruffy]

The word "guilty" is not mentioned ANYWHERE in the Constitution.

Seems it is YOU imagining a non-existent Constitution.

lol

I'd like to see you fucktards try to prevent Donald Trump from taking office when he wins.

 

[scruffy]

Post 137.
Every post in this thread is in defense of or opposition to #137

Trump as found Guilty by a clear majority of the Senate.
Trump could not be removed from office because the Senate vote did not achieve a 2/3 majority.
Failure to convict is not by any measure an indication of a lack of guilt.

Not Guilty <> Exoneration
Except in MAGADUMIA

You fail.

Our system is specifically set up to deal with partisan fucktardry like yours.

You FAILED to convince the opposition. End of story.

Go cry to your momma or something. The rest of us are tired of your incessant whining.

 

[BackAgain]

An excellent opinion piece from Tristan Snell on CNN explains that in the course of Trump's second impeachment, a majority of the House and of the Senate voted that the events of January 6 were an insurrection and that Trump incited it. If the Supreme Court does not obey the clear text of our Constitution, this democracy is at an end.

What a stupid OP

Just to steer it back to reality, let’s be clear:

Trump has never even been charged with “insurrection.” Thus, he cannot have ever been convicted of insurrection. Therefore, he can’t be subject to that Amendment’s provision.

If the SCOTUS says anything different, we will have lost our republic. (We aren’t a democracy.)

 

[MagicMike]

lol

It is already happening.
He's not going to get anywhere near office Scruff.
Whatcha gonna do about it.
Whine some more?

 

[Dadoalex]

lol

No need.
Trump will lose by 12-16M votes and 150 EC votes.

Of course you people and try 1/6 over again except this time Joe will be in charge and...
Well...
Be sure to notify your next of kin.

Are you always this stupid or did you just by some Trump sneakers?
You're off topic and stupid as a sack of cow crap.

Thank you so much, Trigger.

Everything you said of course, is a lie.
