If only they all blocked the moron years ago.
Today he is saying that impeachment is wrong because it is dividing the nation. He forgot to mention it is because of his own behaviour.
The huge multi-national corporates aren't deserting the GoP for no reason. (Unless you are FBD and the reason wouldn't make sense anyway)
US politics live updates: Mike Pence says he won't remove Donald Trump from office via 25th amendment as pressure grows from other Republicans.
After Capitol violence, Trump brand partners eye dumping toxic asset: the president.
Meet the 10 billionaires that backed Trump
The heir to cosmetic brand Estée Lauder’s fortune and the retired CEO of Marvel Entertainment are among the billionaire donors to outgoing President Donald Trump’s 2020 presidential campaign, a new report has revealed.
The Institute for Policy Studies has identified a whopping 63 US billionaires, who gave a combined US$33 million to the Trump Victory Fund - the fundraising account for the Trump 2020 campaign and the Republican National Committee - in the last two years.
Of those, the top 10 donors, who have a combined wealth of US$244 billion, donated more than US$15 million to the fund, with many donating more to various Trump campaign groups.
Here’s the full list:
Kelcy Lee Warren (CEO of Energy Transfer Partners, worth US$2.9 billion)
Isaac Perlmutter (Retired CEO of Marvel Entertainment, worth US$5.8 billion)
Kenny Troutt (Founder of Excel Communications, worth US$1.5 billion)
Robert Duggan (Biotech investor, worth US$2.6 billion)
Steve Wynn (Casino magnate, worth US$3 billion)
Phillip Gene Ruffin (Casino owner, worth uS$2.3 billion)
Diane Hendricks (Owner of home supplier ABC Supply, worth US$8 billion)
Sheldon Adelson and wife Miriam Adelson (Casino megadonors, worth US$35.9 billion)
Daniel Andrew Beal (Texas banker, worth US$7.5 billion)
David Duffield (Software entrepreneur, worth US$13.3 billion)
Estée Lauder heir, Ronald Steven Lauder, worth US$5.2 billion, and Johnson & Johnson heir Robert Wood Johnson IV, worth US$2.5 billion, were also revealed to be notable donors to Trump’s campaign.
Trump loses major lender
The report comes as major global bank Deutsche Bank revealed it would no longer do business with Trump, after lending to him since the late 1990s.
The bank was reportedly growing tired of the “serious collateral damage” and bad press caused by the relationship with Trump.
Trump will face a charge of “incitement of insurrection”, as House Democrats attempt to remove the President from office before his term ends on 20 January.
The charge relates to Trump’s role in the events that took place at the US Capitol on Wednesday 6 January, and a vote to impeach could take place this week.
If Trump is impeached, he stands to lose around $15.5 million in lost leave, pension and office staff.
If. They try to impeach, good luck before his term is over. Especially since Congress is in (or about to be) in recess until the 19th. Say they actually try the 25th ammendment thing. Go read it. I'll wait.
Again, can't happen before he's out of office. Its all grandstanding.
I never thought there would be success using the 25th Amendment but the Impeachment will probably happen. More and more of the Republicans are starting to realise the damage that has been done and with so many corporates deserting them, maybe it is part of the rebuilding of the reputation of Republicans to support it.
I think there's more of a case for impeachment than the stupid Russia thing. It still feels hollow and exhausting.
I think the best thing to do is to keep a lid on his fingers until after inauguration, given that some of his supporters appear to see hidden calls for violence in every tweet..
