American politics - Trump's departure.

So, Trump is finally no longer the President of the USA - and thank the frack for that! I hope he does get impeached, prosecuted and jailed for the rest of his life - although it might be best for Congress to delay passing this to the Senate for a couple of months (just to give the unrest throughout the US time to settle down a wee bit).
