Really? It's not just that he will be disgraced forever as the only President to be impeached twice, and not just that it makes it impossible for him to ever run for office again?

Take away his perks, oh heck yeah.

Please let him not continue to get Secret Service protection.

It’s obvious. You cannot allow an insurrection to go unpunished. Otherwise the next one will be more bold.

Trump did the crime, he has to do the time. Plus both Republicans and Democrats want him to never be able to hold office again. That’s just reality.

So that’s why it is happening...

It's also pension, healthcare, and travel perks. Also, he wouldn't be able to hold federal office. The latter is the most compelling for republicans IMO. The idea of Trump running independent in 2024 could be detrimental to the conservative candidate.

Oh and by the way Pence is in charge right now, not Biden or Trump. He is more powerful than the president because he can fire Trump with one letter. Trump can’t fire him. Therefore, Trump either allows Pence to run things the way he wants or gets fired by him.

Why do you think the flag flew at half mast today, 4 days after the failed insurrection?

Agreed! He didn’t pay income taxes anyway. He tried to reverse an election. When you do that, and lose, you need to pay for your damage to democracy.

Impeachment and conviction will have consequences even if done after Biden is president. Trump will lose the benefit of retirement and secret service protection and will be barred from future elective office. It negates the normal privileges given to former presidents and limits his options. It is like the country wiping its shoes after stepping in dog crap.

He may face federal charges anyway. He can't pardon himself and pissed off Pence.
