A Congressional Research Service report released this week noted that although the Constitution does not explicitly say whether a former president can be impeached, scholars "who have closely examined the question have concluded that Congress has authority to extend the impeachment process to officials who are no longer in office."

Start with Hussein.

I have closely examined the question and have concluded that Congress does not have authority to extend the impeachment process to officials who are no longer in office.

So there!

Stupid and pointless.

He isn’t responsible for that the rioters did.

"Rubio added he believes Trump 'bears responsibility for some of what happened'..."

Rubio's use of clear hindsight to blame Donald Trump is stupid, too. President Trump didn't say or even imply that anyone should trespass or riot.

Nancy Piglosi encouraged the rioters who took over the Wisconsin capitol in 2011, She should be in prison.

Trump "bears responsibility for some of what happened" during the deadly riots at the Capitol earlier this month

The quote stops but NBC adds on additional comments of their own to make the story more negative.

No surprise, of course...but still irritating.

This really bugs me. Why?

Because these so-called Constitutional "researching" nut jobs can see a penumbra in impeaching a past president, however when the Constitution was in the process of working at the point where the seven states with double electors needed to be settled and they had the one Senator who objected which actually began the debate process to settle those double set of electors, what did numskull Pence do? Instead of pausing the proceeding like he should have, he asked the Congressional parliamentarian what he should do and the guy told him to certify, which was totally unConstitutional.

Those Constitutional researchers can see fit to say President Trump could use and old-fashioned impeachment, but they can't spare a few brain cells to follow the Constitution correctly when it is really needed?

What the hell good are they?

Well, Hussein is praised as a cold blooded “proper schizoïd”.

People wanted real life, real warmness. This is why even Trump’s awkward tweets were such a breath of fresh air and nice.

But to The cold callous schizo DC swamp which hates personality and loves its Nazi cold boots (while sheistering people into believing government is a nice warm beast like the dragon in Shreck) , Trump tweets and angry trumpsters is a nono.

Even the effing military brass is acting indignant lately, like a bunch of fools who have no respect for sacrifice of a soldier’s family and personality for the country’s own.

I do not care if people tell me Trump made an act and was neurotic, what counts is that the sincerity of the echo with the people is what they really want to murder.

Sen. Marco Rubio, who do you blame for the Antifa riots which are still on going? Which Democratic Congress person?

Trump held a rally.

He is in no way responsible for the results.

The GOPee senators are all a gaggle of craven cowards who failed to do the right thing when the electoral fraud crisis was upon us. Who cares what the hell they do now for their strictly venal reasons? GOPee Delenda Est!

Will they just hold a trial in the Senate over his head as a blackmail threat to try to control his post-presidency?

Only Romney wants to impeach, again. He’s a joke.
