Andrew Johson was president from April 1865 to March 1869.

right after this urgent rest
So by holding the trial in the senate after the transition to Biden has been completed, they’ve removed the obvious escape route Trump might’ve made use of?
So what would be the consequences for Trump if the senate does convict him? Not removal from office as he’ll already have finished his term. Disqualification from holding public office has been tacked on as a side issue and probably will pass as it only needs a simple majority. But the main item on the charge sheet - if that does somehow pass will Trump see the inside of a cell? Get a large fine? Or just suffer a stain on his reputation (why should he worry)?

It's not a criminal trial, so there's no jail or fine. The main point seems to be reputational - his full title will be "disgraced former president Trump".
He'll still retain a lot of support among his base, but reputation where it counts is already in tatters and this would be the final nail in the coffin. No banks will lend ever again on the strength of "brand Trump" and we know he has a serious amount of money in loans being called in over the next few years.
Equally importantly, there has seemed to be an uneasiness about going after Trump on the various charges that the Mueller enquiry clearly laid out were possible were he not the sitting president. Seeking legal retribution against an outgoing president not considered a good look and an uncomfortable precedent for Biden and any future holders of the top office.
The bar for that precedent gets set much higher if Trump has been convicted in the senate - "we only seek legal retribution against presidents who've been booted out on their arse."
Similar situation regarding the potential New York state charges being mooted for tax fiddling and other financial irregularities. Making him "disgraced former" is a green light to go after him for everything.

William Latimer in 1375 for oppression in Brittany and taking backhanders in Bristol.
I cannot see him sitting drunk and inconsolable in The Lincoln Sitting-Room contemplating suicide, repeating ‘what have I done?’ like Richard Nixon was before his resignation in 1974. So much so that Alexander Haigh had the Secret Service check the desk drawers for a gun.

Couldn't Clintons come up with an "Congratulations on your impeachment" card. Or "Happy Impeachment".

Watch it and find out
Like a naughty child; that was what came to my mind.
I have watched it. It was a rhetorical question.

I can imagine him sitting in the Lincoln Sitting Room going "what did I come in here for? I'm sure there was something..."

Snapchat has now also permanently banned Trump - at this point, it seems a little like kicking him when he's down, which I fully endorse, maybe editor should permanently ban Trump from Urban75 and send out a press release.

Given the sympathies of the police and military, I think this would be a greater risk for Biden. Not sure filling the Capitol with tens of thousands of troops ahead of the inauguration is the greatest idea, bound to be a few loons in the mix. Not looking good for the dems.

Yes an awful tale indeed, driven mad by abuse and neglect of the most horrible kind whilst a child, then killed by the state. Admittedly what she did was horrendous but the doctors that said she was very sick cannot be ignored.
