Holy shit. Democrats in NY originally stopped all impeachment proceedings but have now said they will finish the impeachment probe and release a report.
I'm damned shocked. Amazing how Democrats actually do their job when they no longer have Orange man to distract attention away from them.
I would laugh if Cuomo is like "Fuck that shit! I rescind my resignation" because of this.
The Supreme Court in the past has said someone that resigned to escape impeachment can be impeached and convicted. It'd mostly be to bar him from public office in the future, but i doubt he'd get elected again anyways.Quote:

I strongly feel they'd have knocked that conviction out, because Trump was a private citizen, and Congress doesn't try private citizens, that is what the Court system is for.Quote:

Reports that he left his dog "Captain" at the governor's mansion and asked if anyone could take him in.

He's a scumbag. He somehow still has a staff and one member claimed he was just asking if anyone could watch his dog for a few days while he moves. Yeah, sure that's what he was doing. If that's the case put him in a nice kennel, the dude is a fucking millionaire who is going to be getting a cushy pension from the taxpayers of NY, surely he can afford it.Quote:

He commuted the minimum sentence so that he is now eligible for parole, which by no means gets him out of prison. He was an unarmed getaway driver. 40 years really does seem to be enough IMO, although he still isn't guaranteed to get out. That is on the Parole Board.Quote:
