For anyone here who plays golf or follows the sport, the PGA of America officially announced that the 2022 PGA Championship won’t be held as scheduled at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster. I guess the events of 1/6 played a part in that decision.

Trump bailing and heading off to Mexico...would just be *chefs kiss* the cherry on the top of his monstrous hypocrisy.
Yes.
But the Impeachment and 2/3rds vote is in the Constitution itself. The exact word is listed here:
"The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments. When sitting for that Purpose, they shall be on Oath or Affirmation. When the President of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice shall preside: And no Person shall be convicted without the Concurrence of two-thirds of the Members present. Judgment in Cases of Impeachment shall not extend further than to removal from Office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any Office of honor, Trust or Profit under the United States; but the Party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to Indictment, Trial, Judgment and Punishment, according to Law."
So the Impeachment by itself will not send Trump to prison. The disqualification is mentioned vaguely and that mean the rules can be set by the Senate. Every Senate Majority Leader can determine and fix the rules and the norm is that the vote to disqualify a candidate comes down to a simple senate majority. But every Sen. Maj. Leader can set and redefine the rules. And the next one will be Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and I don't think he will alter the rule on this front.
Thanks. Sometimes, I surprise myself.

Sadly, we won't fix gun mania without another SCOTUS decision, which we won't see until at leastOriginally Posted by ;5321265
2/3 of the sitting gang are gone. The last two decisions on the second seemed to completely skate across its opening phrase: "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State..."
After January 6, my response to this is:

The Trump Putsch is a manifestation of the militia attacking the security of a free State what with these ex-AAF and ex-veterans, off-duty cops, and other shadier types.
For these people, for the ones who tried to murder Governor Whitmer, they believe the 2nd Amendment is the constitution and nothing else counts.
The second Capitol Police Officer to have died Howard Liebengood has been confirmed to have committed suicide.
Here’s a statement from the police union.
