Impeachment or invoking the 25th, or him being led out in handcuffs, isn't about humiliation, it's about democracy and law.One of the things I liked about Biden was his pledge to bring the country together and govern for all the people, not just the ones who voted for him. From everything I’m seeing, I’m starting to to lean toward impeachment is a bad idea. Sure I would love to see him not be able to run again, but Pandora’s box has already been opened. There are several politicians who believe in everything Trump stands for and will ride his coattails straight to the White House. Sadly, I fear Trumpism will continue for a long time to come.
I don’t think impeachment is going to do anything to benefit us over the next four years, if Biden is going to get anything done. Is watching Trump squirm and be further humiliated really worth the possible fallout? Just a thought.
This forum is full of long timers who have been discussing things that aren't necessarily linked to veganism, but a prominent component of our world views, which we feel guide our veganismAgain with the non vegan related politics.
I’m not sure I buy that. I think a lot of it is politically motivated with a “let’s see how much we can do to him” attitude. Plus I don’t see it working. Then we have to deal with the Dems failing again in getting him convicted of anything.Impeachment or invoking the 25th, or him being led out in handcuffs, isn't about humiliation, it's about democracy and law.
He's still a danger in these last two weeks.
America has been shifted so far to the right we need extreme measures to get it back.

I'm undecided. Part of me agrees with you. Let's just move on. Its Banana Republics that put their pervious leaders on trial or in jail.I’m not sure I buy that.

We’ve been trying for four years.
I don’t think impeaching him will have any benefit. We won. He’s leaving. I’d rather focus on the future and repairing the damage that’s been done.
It’s possible I’m just overloaded and need to unplug from the news, but they took away my hallmark Christmas movies so I’ve been obsessed with all of this since Wednesday. It’s becoming mentally unhealthy.
A lot of those protesters were black. These guys were white.To all those who want to "move on, bring people together", do you really think think this insurrection is going to just end? And should simply be ignored?
How many peaceful protesters were arrested, shot, pepper sprayed while protesting the murderous police?
I don’t. Absolutely not. What you’re saying is not falling on deaf ears. I think what I’m saying is if he is tried and it works in our favor we’re still not going to be any better off. Honestly I’ve waffled several times already. This is how I feel right now. I’m listening to both arguments on different news channels and it seems like both arguments for and against have merit is all. I can’t just jump on the “crucify him” bandwagon and feel like it’s 100% the right thing to do. He has too many people with power in his corner.To all those who want to "move on, bring people together", do you really think think this insurrection is going to just end?

Completely understand what you’re saying KLS! During the primaries I was not that impressed by Biden... however, once he became the Democratic candidate I came to appreciate him more... I understand Why he was chosen even though I would have preferred someone Much more progressive... Now I am pretty sure that he was the only Democrat who could have defeated trump...And Thank Goodness he did!! Since the elections I have come to like Biden more and more...I hope that We are not being duped and I don’t think that We are... I do Believe that he does Care and that he does Truly want to work for All Americans...One of the things I liked about Biden was his pledge to bring the country together and govern for all the people, not just the ones who voted for him.

According to one news source a previous president can be impeached. Its never been done but there is no law against it. The court cases could take a lot of time and attention. and it wouldn't serve much of a purpose except for that he couldn't hold public office again.And what’s this I’m hearing about the impeachment process going past January 20, into Biden’s term?
Yeah.........I don’t. Absolutely not. What you’re saying is not falling on deaf ears. I think what I’m saying is if he is tried and it works in our favor we’re still not going to be any better off.

I too would Much prefer the Green Party...unfortunately most of the time that would end up being a wasted vote...The democrats aren't much better, well they're a little better considering the alternative, I would prefer the green party, although voting is a scam.
