What passes for Bok’s brain is seriously chipped, PLUS he sees everything reflected in funhouse mirrors. There is nothing he can’t distort until it breaks.
Former president T**** WAS the sitting president when he was impeached for the second time; there is nothing in Speaker Pelosi’s action that sets precedent for impeaching an elected official after leaving office.
There IS however, precedent for holding the impeachment trial in the Senate after the official has left office. It’s been done more than once in the past.
Of course, it would be foolish to expect you to be honest at this point.
I will say it one more time, for you trump disciples that don’t get it. He was impeached while he was still in office and the articles of impeachment were sent to the Senate while he was still in office.
Former president Trump committed sedition and treason while trying to overturn a legal election and he incited violence resulting in the deaths of several people. If Presidents Carter, Bush, Obama, et. al. had committed such heinous acts while still in office but a Democratic Congress refused to act as the GQP Senate refused for Trump’s crimes, there would be grounds.
Bok is RIGHT they should not have held an Impeachment Trial. President Biden should have had Trump ARRESTED and this should be a Real Trial with Real Jurors and Real Consequences.
Two Charges. Sedition, and for corruption for the Phone call to Raffensperger
Trump was impeached while still in office. McCollum delayed the trial. Of course, the cartoonist and everyone else knows this, but they just lie about it.
Well, Chip, please explain how your comic makes any sense at all. Speaker of the House Pelosi presented one Article of Impeachment to the Senate, against a sitting president. The Senate Majority Leader McConnell stalled the senate trial until he was no longer majority leader, and tRump was no longer the sitting president. New Senate Majority Leader Schumer convened the senate to impeachment trial as per our constitution, took debate, took motions, held the vote on the motions, and the Senate, in a bi-partisan vote, ruled the trial constitutional.
If you’re going to make political cartoons shouldn’t you know how our government works?
No one seems to have realized that the punishment for being guilty of TREASON AND SEDITION is MUCH WORSE then an impeachment.
§2381. TreasonWhoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.
§2383. Rebellion or insurrectionWhoever incites, sets on foot, assists, or engages in any rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the United States or the laws thereof, or gives aid or comfort thereto, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.
§2384. Seditious conspiracyIf two or more persons in any State or Territory, or in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspire to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States, or to levy war against them, or to oppose by force the authority thereof, or by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States, or by force to seize, take, or possess any property of the United States contrary to the authority thereof, they shall each be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both.
Lil’ Donny is not the first to have his impeachment concluded after his term ended. Chip is trying to make it look ridiculous when in fact there is a deadly serious principle at stake.
The Senate gets to decide if the President gets a free pass during January of his/her last year. Can they shoot someone on 5th Avenue and leave office before trial?
The only response should be: 1) House impeached him while he was still in office for actions he committed while in office and 2) it was GOP Senate leadership that refused to set trial dates while he was still in office and decided to go on recess. Bottomline: Senate GOP obstructed the impeachment process the same way they obstructed the SCOTUS nomination-hearing process in 2016. SUCK IT, Bok!
The alleged offences occurred while the 45th elected president was in office and the articles were presented while he was still in office. But I think the people represented here are deceased so I don’t get it.
Notice Bok was careful to only suggested the dearly departed. No doubt he’s afraid that if someone were to suggest that we impeach other former living presidents (cough, W, cough) that someone just may think, why the hell not?
Of course Bush the Lesser was always careful to include Congress in his crimes against humanity.
The Republicans that refuse to pay attention, because they have chosen to protect their golden idol, are just as complicate in the violent attack on the capital as Trump and his goons are.
Shame on the Republicans, shame on their cowardice.
IMPLUM! IMPOTATO!! IMPICKLE!! Pelosi and her arrogant comrades, regardless of which anti-Constitution party they are plastered into , aren’t worth the salaries they insisted on paying themselves because they are as overpaid corporate thieves who are worse at heart than Judas Ischariot.
Trump proposed impeaching Obama in 2020. Therefore, according to “expert Trump” (who knows better than anyone about everything) says that it is Constitutional to impeach Trump.
There are two cans of worms, but Pelosi did not open either of them. Can one: Elected Republicans that support Trump at the expense of their country. Can two: Trump supporters who do the same thing.Both cans are labelled “Self-styled patriots.”
Yes you’re right, Pelosi did open the can of worms…and they all crawled out and defiled and trampled the constitution and justice in America! Like they said, the worms crawl in and the worms crawl out, the worms play you for a sucker on your snout. What a travesty of justice!
With the trial ending, the party of boneless cowards will continue supporting the treasonist pig! What hold does he have on them? He’s a lying cheating deceiving POS! We can expect to see him in the news everyday now, while he regroups and plots his next insurrection….he said it is only the beginning…and since they gave him free reign, he’ll do it agin without reservation! The GOP cowards RELEASED THE CRACKEN!
When will the majority of unlearned beings actually learn and believe that a republic, which the USA citizen is supposed to uphold by refusing to cheat and deceive during an election process, is not supposed to evolve into a democracy for the good of the established republic?
