Easy answer: The outrage is not about a riot. Its about storming the US capitol and trying to obstruct a democratic process.

Will Trump Resign or will he get the boot via 25th amendment?

I think regardless of how he leaves, whether willingly, forced or refusing to until he's dragged out by his teeth, the damage is done. This won't be over for years to come, some ridiculous civil war mostly fought on Twitter with occasional actual riots. It's pathetic.
If I could, and knew who did it, I'd do it in a hurt beat. I'd even backstab my best friend for 5 grand, lol. Then again, if my friend was putting pipe bombs anywhere, he/she deserves it anyway.wow you're going to get rich!

No it won't. The US gov fucking hates their own citizens. They'll continue to find ways to fuck us over.
Trump lost, and there is no legal pathway for him to stay in the White House.
He is just that bad. Not like he was impeached for his favorite color. Even if not removed, people would be on the record for not even removing him for what happened at the Capitol.
part of me hopes he isn't impeached. solely on the fact that 60+% of republicans hate the guy now, so if he ran during 2024, he splits the republican vote making it impossible for them to win. but if he is impeached and removed, he can't run for president anymore which would be great.

yeah, i was rolling both chambers into one event even though it's 2 votes. but no republican wants to be on his side now for a public vote, plus Mitch is pissed. they could also wait until 1/23ish and impeach him once the new senators take their seats. because impeachment and conviction is a political process, not a criminal one they can impeach anyone who has been or is president, they don't need to be acting. other things they can take away are SS detail, pension, benefits, ect.

There is also a possibility, however slim, that a number of Republican Senators choose to play it safe and abstain from voting. Which would cut down on the number needed to get to 2/3rds.
This is all political theatre with the primary goal of trying and paint Trump and his supporters as modern day American nazis

They did a bang-up job of painting themselves that way years ago at Charlottesville. The attack on the capitol building only further reinforced that image.
There's nothing patriotic about an armed insurrection. It's fundamentally anti-American.
