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.

Yes it is and you're projecting. I specifically condemned leftwing violence, but you ignore that and continue with your false equivalence.
Either you're too upset about my rudeness and just lashing out, or you are deliberately engaging in intellectual dishonesty to push a narrative.
Don't really care, you've been pushing the rightwing narrative hard for a while and claiming to be a "real humanist liberal" so I guess we're back to "Ok boomer" but If it makes you feel better the worst thing I want to do is imprison criminals, rioters and insurrectionists alike. Please try and store that in long term memory.
