Off Topic The Politics Thread

soops, don't go telling me that this country is full of corruption! (wait does this count as corruption?).

Also sorry to hear you lost your job to it, everything nowadays under the government seems to be outsourced to a big org who then outsource it again and again.

 

I'm actually not sorry I lost my job at that time as my job had become impossible because of recurring 'reorganisations' and I was considering early retirement anyway, I would have lost a percentage of my pension but the redundancy and my length of service meant I could go under the 85 year rule without penalty although the redundancy was capped at 20 years maximum. It was part of the fallout from Cameron's cuts in 2012, hundreds were made redundant in Southwark many in management grades. Silly thing is within a year many of the posts were being advertised under new job titles at lower pay grades. And you wonder why local government is always such a disaster...

 

Keep the myths going as I'm sure a few on here will be knocking one out over that comment. I answer many questions is just people don't want to hear the truth.

Impeached again.

Move on, both sides are as bad as each other, heal the divide etc.

 

What's the point
isnt he gone in a week anyway

 

Precedent.

 

If impeached, it is a federal crime and would (1) revoke his pension and privileges as a former President; (2) prohibit him from voting and (3) running for office again.

 

All of the above.
Plus great bantz.

 

Are all federal criminals barred from voting

 

Yup.

 

Both sides of the political aisle are jumping on the bandwagon this itme. The Democrats because they are Democrats and the Republicans for (3).

 

Seems a bit unfair. Wonder who benefits from that.

 

Trump has kept himself busy sanctioning federal executions....

The Guardian view on Trump's executions: vicious to the end (msn.com)

 

Certainly not the Murder and Mayhem Party...

 

People here whine if you don't let the crims vote while they are in prison

 

So if found guilt Donald loses $200K a year pension.
He won't be able to run again
However
He will keep the security service?

 

Maybe not
Might have to pay the proud boys to look after him

If he is successfully impeached, convicted and removed from office, Trump will not be entitled to the usual presidential benefits granted to retiring US leaders.

That includes a lifetime pension of roughly US$200,000 a year, travel expenses of up to US$1m each financial year and Secret Service protection.

Yahoo Finance reports that if Trump was to lose his pension benefits along with travel and security payments, it would add up to US$12m lost over 10 years.

However, if a president is impeached, but not convicted and removed, they maintain the benefits outlined in the Former Presidents Act.
