If your wages are 1.1% higher than a year ago, but the stuff you buy costs 2.3% more, you went down. You are the loser here, your living standard & security diminished. But hey, how ‘bout that stock market? #maga. #winning.

YO

My brother just said "Okay Boomer" and the Google Assistant responded.

@design_RG Ok so just checked some facts.

1) I was correct that the trial that follows impreachment is not criminal in nature, the reasoning can be as simple as improper conduct, or as severe as a criminal act. The exact wording according to senate.gov is this "if a federal official commits a crime or otherwise acts improperly, the House of Representatives may impeach" so it does not necessarily imply criminality occured.

2) it is further not really a jury or criminal trial in any sense because there is no possiblity of conviction should the vote pass for any criminal consequnces. The only consequence that the president can face as a result of the senate hearing would be being barred from holding office

3) you are correct in the fact that the chief justice of the supreme court ultimately presides over the hearing and gets to be a gatekeeper of what evidence is presented, what is not, who gets subpoenaed, etc. But keep in mind the senate is fundementally different than a jurt in the sense that before the hearing they already heard all the evidence unrestricted from the impeachment hearings. So while normally a jury is choosen to be unbiased and have no previous knowledge, and thus the judge gets to decide what evidence they hear, this doesnt apply to the senate. So it would still be improper to see them as a jury.

4) side note, once a president is removed from office, and only then, can a separate criminal trial be held where criminality is determined. however it is likely the case that the new president (since he was the president's vice) will simply pardon him and prevent him from facing criminal charges. This is what happened with nixon.
