House votes to move with 25th Amendment... Pence has already issued a letter to Nancy to oppose it. Next, impeachment is on the horizon, as the blue wave picks up steam in the House, of which is expected to come ashore again tomorrow. Impeachment moves forward, then it is in the hands of the Senate. If the kitchen gets too hot, then Trump will start to panic and gather all the pardons necessary for his family, and anyone willing to pay... like the prices at a Trump hotel. Then, Trump talks to Mike, Mike agrees to pardon Trump as if he's repenting for his sins. Trump gets pardoned, then he resigns... If things play out like this, then Trump will rule his party for the next 4 years, until the Republican Party splinters into two, while Democrats consolidate power and ride that blue wave to towards a sunset. And Trump will set that party on fire, for having "betrayed" him as he contemplates running in 2024. However, if impeached, you'll never hear about Trump until he trumps up his own television network. Mind you, I didn't mention the litigation waiting for his doorstep in Mar-A-Bye-GO...

That's why he needs to be impeached

You are absolutely right, but me might resign, IF, he sees that coming, but who knows

But if he resigns, would he still be able to get all the perks a conviction would remove? (Though somewhere in here someone said that's more extra)

Evie reminds me of V for Vendetta... the irony. -> "3 USC §102, called the "Former Presidents Act," which entitles those who serve as presidents to things like a pension, an office space, office staff and money for travel and security...

But a former president removed by impeachment wouldn’t qualify for that.

"It defines 'former presidents,' the people entitled to these things, as anyone whose term in office ended by some means other than being impeached and removed," Kalt said. "In other words, if his term ends on the 20th at noon, he gets these benefits under current law. If he resigns he gets them too."
