As a follow-up after some digging. If Trump takes the lifetime Secret Service protection the "Former Presidents Act" makes it clear that presidents who have lifetime Secret Service protection never get a $1 million travel allowance. It's either lifetime Secret Service protection or travel allowance.HueyRamone wrote: ↑Sun Jan 10, 2021 9:58 amA million a year seems high.

If the Senate holds his Impeachment trial after Jan 19th which it looks like it will since McConnell is a spineless punk. He will keep it all because they will have no option to remove him from office once Biden is President. The highest penalty option after the 20th is to disqualify him from ever holding an elected office again at the Federal, State or local level. The Constitution and The 1958 Former Presidents Act govern this as detailed below.
The Constitution provides for only two potential punishments if an impeached president is convicted by the Senate: removal from office and disqualification from future “office of honor, trust or profit under the United States,” according to Article I, Section 3.
The 1958 Former Presidents Act assures that no president leaves office without being set for life—it guarantees a pension, access to health insurance, office space and staff. There is, however, one exception: These perks are only granted to presidents who aren’t removed from office in an impeachment trial.
That would be so funny if tape ever comes out with him asking if there's a way he can trade his pension for being allowed to be on twitter again

Hilarious the pictures and reports of Lindsey Graham screaming at Capitol security officers demanding they protect them from the MAGAtards outside the secure location.

Re: Dump Shithole
The Foxsticks at Fox News are pleading with the government not to impeach their sweet innocent little Donnie because "republicans will get violent". Maybe Fox news figures we should stop convicting murderers because they might get mad and murder somebody.
That's definitely how to enforce their precious "law and order", let criminals off scot free because we're scared of them. Great plan, fellas.

Re: Dump Shithole
I keep telling people don't be surprised if Trump gets charged with Treason some time this year. There's a lot of interviews to be done with his aides, Secret Service agents and WH personnel that were around him before, during and after. If they talk and he said or did some thing it could lead him to being fucked. A lot of the people in the administration aren't happy. They're trying to jump ship and think being associated with Trump they may not find another job. Its not gonna look good for them being associated with the Trump administration when shopping their resumes, a lot of companies will see that and wonder if they were an enabler. Also Republican Sen. Ben Sasse recounted this story from riot day.
As Nebraska Republican Sen. Ben Sasse recounted of Trump in an interview last Friday: "As this was unfolding on television, Donald Trump was walking around the White House confused about why other people on his team weren't as excited as he was as you had rioters pushing against Capitol Police trying to get into the building."

Only it's not just a funny brainfart, but an established neo-nazi term dating back to German organizations from the early 90s collecting private data to threaten and attack people they consider anti-fascist activists. It's not silly Trump merch but affiliation to a neo-nazi terrorist organization connected to Combat-18. You know, very special people.HueyRamone wrote: ↑Tue Jan 12, 2021 1:11 pmReally, it doesnt need to even say "Profa" it can just day "Fa"Chip Z'Hoy wrote: ↑Tue Jan 12, 2021 12:45 pm “Anti-antifa” is so funny to me.

“Ten major companies so far, including some of the biggest corporate givers in politics, have decided to withhold contributions to Republican lawmakers who objected to the certification of the Electoral College votes, and dozens more are stopping all of their political donations after the riot.”
New York Times: “The moves are notable because corporations and their employees are active players in the political process, making campaign contributions through PACs and helping politicians raise funds in myriad ways.”
Can we assume that the reason Liz Cheney and some other Republicans suddenly got scruples today is that the donor money is disappearing after an insurrection? Sure, it's nice that she stood up in support of what is absolutely the right thing to do, but Trump's already violated his constitutional oath once before, necessitating impeachment, and she and her party did nothing when given the opportunity.
I'm not gonna pretend this isn't some degree of calculated political theater. I think we can respect her vote of support for impeachment but we don't have to bestow her with an automatic redemption or prop her up, or Mike "I'm not familiar with the number 25" Pence, for a future presidential run.

Re: Dump Shithole
People can fuck off with claims of "cancel culture" when it comes to Donnie boy. Anybody who is blocking financial stuff is doing it for legal reasons and anybody breaking ties with him is simply trying to avoid going down with the ship.
What happened to Aziz Ansari was "cancel culture". What's happening to Trump is completely justified. Even if it got worse for him it wouldn't be enough. Seeing as how they used to execute traitors, if he's still alive and drawing breath after all the dust settles he should be extremely thankful.

This is Donald Trump’s platform to speak, which he can use any time he wants to. Notice how he hasn’t used it even once to provide any election fraud evidence? Amazing.

Re: Dump Shithole
This hearing is an embarrassment for Republicans.
"We need unity!"
"This impeachment will divide the country!"
"Holding an impeachment hearing days before a major political changeover is a travesty of democracy!" (like holding a Supreme Court justice hearing days before an election?)
"Donald Trump never uttered language inciting people to violence. He used the word 'peaceful.'"
"Democrats have had it in for this president, who has done nothing but try to better the lives of Americans, for four years!"
Meanwhile, Mitch McConnell has officially stated he won't convene the Senate for a vote should the House vote in favor of impeachment. On brand and not surprising, but fuck him anyway.

Re: Dump Shithole
The claim that (another) impeachment will divide the country, while these cunts have spent four years systematically and purposefully creating gleeful division is fucking disgusting. Fuck reaching across the aisle. Fuck working together. They shit on that every day of the last four years. Now they're crying about how this isn't what "the people" want, despite it being what slightly over half of the people polled want.
When a large part of "the people" support baseless conspiracy theories, you're done. There is no working with that.
Also, fuck Jim Jordan into a coma. Sycophantic little weasel.

Re: Dump Shithole
Give it a week and we'll all know so much more about this insurrection. Right now I'm seeing it reported that reps Mikie Sherrill and Sean Patrick Maloney are saying some Congress members were seen giving tours of the Capitol the day before or a few days before the invasion. Maybe gave expected participants the layout of the building in prep. I'm seeing it mentioned that Maloney's speech at the impeachment hearing may have implied that the Glock-crazy rep from Colorado, Lauren Boebert, was one of the tour guides.
