Washedupcynic@lemm.eeto Technology@lemmy.world•[Gamers Nexus] Death of affordable computing | Tariffs impact and investigationEnglish2·14 days agoI just shelled out to upgrade my 9 year old PC. Upgraded from an rtx 1060 to 4060. My current i5 is like 9400F and now I am upgrading to a 13400f. I’ve been wanting to and holding off for a while, but if things are going to get more scarce and more expensive, might as well do it now while I have money to spend.

Impeachment is a formal process used to formally accuse a public official, including the president, of misconduct while in office. It’s a legislative action, not a court trial, and is the first step in the process of potentially removing the official from office and disqualifying them from holding future office. The House of Representatives initiates impeachment proceedings by drafting and voting on “articles of impeachment,” which are essentially charges of misconduct. If enough people in the house vote to impeach, they kick it over to the senate to have a trial. It takes 2/3 or 66% of the senate to convict before he can be removed from office. The last 2 times the house was able to vote on the articles of impeachment. When it got kicked to the senate the last 2 times, there weren’t enough votes to convict. This is because republican senators were more interested in protecting the republican party than they were the country. Most of us would rather lawfully remove Trump from office. The constitution is still important and many of us still believe in it. Even if it’s not successful, it still has a purpose. The people that vote no on impeachment are going on public record to aid an abet his crimes, potentially opening themselves up to legal consequences once trump is gone. Also, exhausting all avenues of the law makes civil disobedience more legitimate should things get bad enough to come to that.
