Schumer: Trump should not be eligible to run for office again
By Jordain Carney - 01/19/21 01:11 PM EST

Incoming Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) said on Tuesday that President Trump should not be eligible to run for office again and vowed to try to bar him from doing so if the Senate convicts him.

"After what he has done, the consequences of which we were all witness to, Donald Trump should not be eligible to run for office ever again," Schumer said from the Senate floor.

"Let me be clear: There will be an impeachment trial in the United States Senate. There will be a vote on convicting the president for high crimes and misdemeanors. If the president is convicted, there will be a vote on barring him again," he added.

Schumer didn't address when an impeachment trial would start or if Democrats would try to delay it in order to confirm Biden's Cabinet nominees and pass more coronavirus legislation, a strategy some members of his caucus are urging him and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) to support.

Schumer, Pelosi,hitlery and McConnell should be forever known as far beyond the stages of Quislings/Benedict Arnolds!

Chuckie say's;

Ahh, but the 2nd impeachment that's... that's where I had Trump. They laughed at me and made jokes but I proved beyond the shadow of a doubt and with... geometric logic... that a duplicate impeachment articles do exist, and I'd have produced 2/3 votes to convict if they hadn't of pulled me out of action with no trial.

It's crystal clear. The left is scared to death of him running again. They can't stop him from leading or forming a new party or speaking to 75+ million to head them in a different direction. In 6 months, the leftists will have shown their intent and millions more will be ready to hang them out to dry.

My true concern for Trump is that they will drag him through the courts and he will not get a fair trial. He didn't get a fair impeachment twice. I really hope he is forming a competent, reliable and trustworthy legal team; Giuliani needs to be pushed aside. He's part of of the swamp and is of no use to Trump.

Pretty amazing. Donald Trump spends four years in DC as the President of the United States ... and is leaving as an outsider.

He won't need to run for office to bring down your world, Chuck. In fact, he's more powerful if he doesn't.

Thanks, Chuck.

President Trump was much abandoned and ostracized for four years, and lynched twice in phony impeachments. Do you really think he wants to go through that again? Alone? Looks like grasping at straws to me. People had ample time to support President Trump and many went into hiding, even here. The game is up, the game is over. You did what you did, or you didn't what you didn't. Now comes the hard part, reality, not bullshiite.

This is to ME,a very good indicator of just how good a President Trump was. Otherwise,they wouldn't be that afraid of him running again.

The persecution will continue. Both as a possible future candidate and an ex president who, by now, must know where at least some of the bodies in both parties are buried, not mentioning one with a massive following, he remains a dire threat to the establishment.

They can vote all they want, but do they really have this authority?

@mountaineer

I may be wrong,but I think if they have the votes,they can make it a law,and with Dim powerhouses like Chuckie and Di Fi pushing it,they probably do.

Not that it really matters. Even if they do pass such a law,Trump can sign up as a senior advisor to the new independent party candidate,and if they new candidate is elected,he can just hire Trump as a senior WH advisor.

And it would work out great for the new stand-in. Trump would take all the heat away from him or her because the Dims just wouldn't be able to help themselves,and there is not a single damn thing they could do to harm him politically or legally because the new president could just hand him a handful of signed and undated pardons the day they move into the WH.

I get the giggles just imagining all the exploding Dim heads if THAT happens.

Kinda neat when you think about it,huh?

The democrats keep issuing threats at/to Trump if he dares to do this, or he dares to not do that. They really do have that totalitarian mindset, little wonder they are busy constructing a totalitarian regime now.
Don't you dare issue pardons or we will further impeach you, Mr President ! Nasty bastards fully ready to abuse power to its fullest extent.

As much as democrats hate Trump to the extreme and as much as democrats are willing to commit voter fraud to an extreme, as we have just seen, who in their right minds think Trump (or us)will ever see a fair election again ?

The headline should read; Schumer should not be eligible to be in office again.

I'd call this a Bill of Attainder -- explicitly unconstitutional.
But... would the Supreme Court agree...?

If I was Mr. Trump, and if the Senate voted for a conviction, I'd do this:
1. Fund an effort to register a new political party in all 50 states.
2. Encourage his supporters to register for it (I'd switch from the Pubbies to Mr. Trump's party... would you?)
3. If he so desires, run in 2024 regardless.

Mitch couldn't hold his dick in one hand and cards in the other and sniff Cocaine at the same time without sneezing. The lines of "blow" and his aces and eights would be gone and all he has left is a flaccid unit.

Mitch doesn't hold jack. He is useless.

The GOP is dead. The DEMS are in complete control.

Thinking that a new party will be formed I think is futile. It's going to take more than that and the DEMS will ensure that all the laws enacted will prevent a new political party from forming.

Do the math. 75,000,000 who didn't vote Biden v. DEMS + illegals + refugees + Dominion voting machines = impossible

Maybe you haven't heard, democrats already intend to pack the Supreme Court with Justices highly prejudicial to them. As so few are cognizant to the issues,we are going to win in the future HOW!
