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.

You mean:
"Leftist authoritarians who want to abandon enlightenment principles and the scientific method " v. Everyone else.
I would gladly give you some place to go and practice your beliefs if it was in my power -- it would be funny to watch how your _____ _____ _____ person of _____'s lived experience does in the wrestling match with reality. I'd love to watch your moon shots, dancing and drumming and chanting to get your rocket off the ground.
The sad part is, I don't have that power, and so you have to turn my home into a shithole.

Someone Spam modded hemo? Makes sense, he keeps repeating the same stuff over and over again without adding to the discussion! But, TMB is really quick about reversing certain spam mods, and mod-banning the perpetrator, in certain cases. I know this from experience.
