Hard to disagree with Trump on this point. Even liberals would have to agree with Trump on this.

I actually think Trump is more famous than J. Christ, but I doubt liberals would be willing to go that far. They just don't have the necessary experiences to make such correct observations.

Jesus is worshipped in countries all around the world, many of which have citizens who don't know much about Trump or give two sh!ts about him...Ethiopia for example is a Christian nation.

Trump is NOT more famous than Jesus. He IS though pretty darn famous. I mean ANY US President is famous, but he was very well known even before he became President. Of course, to sane people, being famous isn't a measuring stick of greatness. Charles Manson was famous.

In terms of percentage of the world population, who was more famous, Donald Trump or Hitler?

I believe Hitler

Yeah, Hitler more famous. I'm not agreeing with Trump here.

I would argue that Pele, Muhammad Ali, and Michael Jackson are more famous than Trump.

If I recall correctly, the essayist's rational was that it would be more difficult to rationalize dismissal on the Georgia election interference which was recorded, than it would be to rationalize dismissal on the grounds that Trump's actions with regard to the riot didn't rise to the legal definition of incitement.

Of course similar logic was applied to the first articles of impeachment, that is, they focused on the more simple Ukraine call rather than the more complex issues arising from the Mueller investigation and that went nowhere in the Senate.

A counter argument to favoring articles focusing on Georgia over the Capitol is that the Capitol incident is a much bigger deal in most people's eyes.

Only four days until this thread gets locked (I assume).

Mao tse-tung and Ghandi more famous than those dudes.

Wrong, PuffPole. Trump is more famous J. Christ ever was, if you measure things in a quantitative sense. Even in the U.S., most people are more familiar with Trump than J. Christ. When was the last time He made a media headline anywhere, or was discussed in public school? None. None times of that stuff.

Even qualitatively, more people know about the acts of Trump (wall building, covefefe), than anything J. Christ did (e.g., the miracle fig tree withering and death incident).

I'd suspect more than a billion chinese and indians have never heard of donald trump, hitler, pele, ali or michael jackson. Then all the africans...

Again, nothing needs to proved or rationalized. There wasn't anyway to prove what happened or didnt, between Blasey Ford and Kavanaugh, but it ended with a partisan vote.

If I'm a Senator, I'm voting for conviction and there is nothing that could possibly happen during the trial that would change my mind.

Gandhi was a seditious Middle Temple lawyer, who posed as a fakir of a type well known in the east, and strode half-naked up the steps of the Viceregal palace, while he is still organizing and conducting a defiant campaign of civil disobedience. He was a bald-headed egg type geek, basically.

Pretty good read here:

Definitely thinking otherwise about my earlier theory that most people where there for the lolz and just got caught up in mob mentality. Seems like the event pretty much specifically attracted foaming-at-the-mouth angry herpty derpers

Jesus has to be the most famous person in the world in terms of name recognition.

Gonna guess that Satan is pretty high up there on the "Most Famous" list.

So, your point was . . . ?

Gonna interject that JC (almost certainly) and DJT (definitely) were real people, whereas Satan didn't/doesn't exist.

For the impeachment trial, there is talk that a conviction means Trump can never hold office again.

Not true.

They’d have to hold a second vote to ban him from office. That vote only needs a simple majority.

And they can only hold that vote if he is convicted by the original 2/3 vote.

On a show last night someone said they can ban him on a simple majority without having the 2/3 conviction.

That doesn’t seem to be true.

Again, the Senate can only convict a president. Trump won't be a president during the trial. Trump would prevail in the supreme court.
