Donald Trump warned Republican members of Congress on Tuesday that if they don’t win in this year’s midterms, then he will “get impeached.”

“You got to win the midterms because if we don’t win the midterms, it’s just going to be – I mean, they’ll find a reason to impeach me. I’ll get impeached,” the president said.

Trump was impeached two times during his first term. In 2019, he was impeached on charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress for allegedly pressuring Ukraine’s president to interfere in the 2020 election. The second impeachment came during his final days in office after the attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, with lawmakers charging him with incitement of insurrection. Trump was acquitted in the Senate both times.

        We need to combine it all for a perfect punishment, imprison with a 24/7 live stream, sell subscriptions to view, and give proceeds to the victims and families, use them to prosecute the rest of the crew and to pay to change the laws against the oligarchy.

        You don’t need to tell the prisoners that he raped kids. They know.

        I think there is a big public perception issue of who exactly is a “Chimo” in prison. Most men in prison do not consider teens to be children and people who sexually abuse teens to be pedophiles. In spite of structural issues that lead to people being in prison, most people in prison are still bad people and have views outside the acceptable norm outside of prison. So someone in for raping a 15 year old isn’t going to have the same social stigma in prison that someone who raped a 9 year old would.

      Or, spending the rest of his life in prison while slowly removing his head inching away on the flesh
