Really. How can the Senate be 'skewed' towards rural areas when their are no districts, just two per state.

This really needs to be explained to you?

2 senators per state so California, Texas, states with large urban centers etc have 2 senators each.

Wyoming, each of the Dakotas, Alaska etc have less than a million and still get 2 senators each

The District of Columbia has a greater population than Vermont or Wyoming and gets no Senators.

Texas with large urban centers like Houston, Dallas, Austin has mor population than the bottom 15states (which are mostly rural) combined, yet it only gets 2 senators.

Wrong.

Trump wasn’t impeached after leaving office.

Trump’s second impeachment was on January 13th, 2021.

Trump was still in office on January 13th, 2021.

Trump’s trial started after he was out of office, and ended on February 13th, 2021.

Hmm. Have you ever heard of the House of Representatives? The Constitution? Yeah. The House is a mob rule, the Senate is the balance. Or vice versa, however you wish to view it. Or at least that is how it is intended in the Constitution. You may want to read it some time too. Because what you seem to be proposing is an abolishment of the Constitution to fundamentally change our form of .gov.


Don't like our .gov? Well, you are free to find another country. That is the beauty of our .gov. Leave ours alone please and thank you.

Snopes would call this sort of false, lol. But I stand corrected. However, the fact remains, the trial was not commenced until after he was out of office, he lost the election and was leaving office anyways, so what, really, is your defense?

8 days away, but... anyone else feel like this is a ruse, and he isn't actually resigning?

Where is the letter of resignation?

Starting to think this is a clever ploy.

We have had about three crisises in the news since Cuomo announced this.

Trying to keep the eyes and attention off nursing home deaths and pay raises...

Not wrong. Remember this:

Trump will be the President on November 3, 2024.

He will not take office until January 20, 2025.

Can Trump be impeached before he is sworn in?
