Trump impeached for 'inciting' US Capitol riots:
The US House of Representatives has impeached President Donald Trump for "incitement of insurrection" at last week's Capitol riot.
Ten Republicans sided with Democrats to impeach the president by 232-197.
He is the first president in US history to be impeached twice, or charged with crimes by Congress.
Mr Trump, a Republican, will now face a trial in the Senate, where if convicted he could face being barred from ever holding office again.
But Mr Trump will not have to quit the White House before his term in office ends in one week because the Senate will not reconvene in time.
Mr Trump will leave office on 20 January, following his election defeat last November to Democrat Joe Biden.
The Democratic-controlled House voted after several hours of impassioned debate on Wednesday as armed National Guard troops stood guard inside and outside the Capitol.
[...] Impeachment charges are political, not criminal.

ZDNet is still a decent read, a modern site with little-to-none of the woke preachiness you'd find in formerly-good shitholes like ArsTechnica.
Was watching this on the TV in the liquor store earlier, and had never seen such a horrible circle-jerk of a shitshow. I'd be seriously fucking embarassed to be a Democrat having my name attached to that, especially that bad stereotype of a fat Black lady who said that Trump was an "Innasectionist...er...in-surr-ec-tionist!" It was the same mindless and hysterical drivel of the annoying all-reaching Jew-bot that sprung up suddenly over internet forums a few weeks ago. It sounds horribly desperate, and Nancy Pelosi's face gets worse everytime I see it -- now she looks like my grandpa did when half his face was sagging from his cranial radiation therapy. If they could only invoke the 25th on her with the reasoning that she's basically a piece of meat propped up on a stick.

Pretty fresh looking for an 80 year old piece of meat.

Whine, she doesn't look like me. Whinge, they don't talk like me. You sound like you're a fat, pale, undereducated loser living in your momma's basement. Try to get out more.
