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.

Orange juice, with two shots of peach schnaps.
Add plenty of ice and a white Russian to it, along with sour grapes and Angostura bitters. You'll have to nurse that more slowly than you would probably like, which is very appropriate.

A bottle of clonazepam washed down with a fifth of Vodka and a shot of propofol to take the edge off. And that's just to get her going in the morning.

At least now we know what you're doing to rot that brain so thoroughly. Yes I know you accused Pelosi of that, but by the law of conservative truthiness we know that all your accusations are actually admissions.

Typical liberal projection. We all know that if a liberal accuses a conservative of something, it's because the liberal is the one actually doing it.

Attempted satire, they don't like us pointing out their standard tactics of blaming others for their own bad actions. Also, they like to copy insults because as we've seen they aren't the best at coming up with clever ones themselves. It is much easier when you have the truth as a template ;-)
