Registered 18 years agoSo Mitch will not agree to bring the senate back early, meaning a senate trial won't happen until the early days of Biden's presidency. So trump will be impeached today but his trial won't be until after the inauguration.
That sets the republicans up to convict, but not remove.
There were already 20 republicans who were willing to convict before Mitch voiced his support for impeachment behind closed doors and more will now be open to it because they won't be responsible for removing him, only being left with deciding whether he should be allowed to hold public office in the future.
Seems like a neat little stitch up from the GOP that thumbs it's nose at the dems while simultaneously allowing them the final say, because the GOP will no longer be the majority when the inditement goes down.
Convoluted, but very interesting and frankly a little bit shit, but this way at least trump is very unlikely to be able to make a comeback. -

Registered 18 years agoAlso I just had a realisation why the GOP are traditionally anti-immigrant.
It's because with each immigrant, it erodes the white american vote a little further. Obvious really. -

Registered 14 years agoI'm not quite sure what I'm watching here. The gentleman from so and so yields 30 seconds to the gentlelady from Ohio... What a weird system.
Anyway, where are all the Republicans condemning Trump? For the last 20 minutes they've all been whataboutery cunts. Let's not further divide our nation etc.. -

This makes me wonder what else he has texted to his supporters ..... -

Registered 12 years agoRepublicans are a truly nasty species. It's absolutely incredible the bullshit they come up with, defending the indefensible. Motherfuckers, the lot of them. Hope they all go down in flames sooner than later. -

The people speaking at the moment are the House, which has a democrat majority. They get to impeach but only have 2 hours to make their statements. Those 2 hours are divied up between the speakers, hence the time keeping.

The senate is Mitch McConnel and Sanders and all that lot who are on holiday right now. They decide whether or not the impeachment should lead to some sort of conviction.

Registered 16 years agoWhat I'm finding really weird about these impeachment proceedings is there are republicans defending Donald Trump's right to send a group of armed terrorists into the seat of government with the sole intention of killing anyone they perceived as disloyal or an enemy of Donald Trump.
They brought guns, bombs, gas masks, body armour, ziptie cuff links, enemies lists, they built gallows for mike pence. They had people in the group who knew the layout of the building and knew where to go, panic alarms buttons were removed, any police or national guard response was either delayed or outright refused, Donald Trump replaced key people in the DOD in the weeks leading up to this "event" with Trump sycophants.
These terrorists even planted bombs at both the republican and democratic party buildings to draw off what was left of the completely inadequate police presence. Then you have the whole situation of the capitol police taking selfies with the terrorists, letting them in in the first place and....well you could just go on and on about the entire day.
The whole situation only gets worse the longer you look into it and this is what we already know, what the hell is still to come?
I leave you with one last question:
How long do Trumps loyal republicans think they will last in that environment before they also become enemies of Donald Trump?

Registered 12 years agoI don't get that either. Unless they fear their lunatic voters are going to come for them. But it seems more like a cult or sect to me as opposed to a political party. -

Registered 9 years agoAll I can say is that in some ways Trump must be feeling very powerful but also very fearful.
On the one hand he is able to call on his base and they will do as he asks (hopefully that also applies to his "No Violence" request), on the other hand he'll soon be an ex-POTUS and a lot of legal shit is going to be thrown in his face.
7 days to go and I doubt if anyone is feeling particularly reassured by his statement. -

Registered 16 years agoNot really been following the story.
Trump is going to stay president till Biden officially takes over? He’s going to face some kind of trial? Or are these as of yet undecided?
I can understand them wanting Trump to stand trial but it’ll probably drag on for ages and his crazy supporters will have more of an excuse to carry on going.
Trump will dominate the headlines for months to come. Biden will probably be insignificant whilst the proceedings are taking place. May end up wishing they just let him go and fade into obscurity.
If they go ahead and try and put Trump on trial then next weeks protests are going to be extremely tense. If any of the police on duty decide to use tear gas or rubber bullets then I’m pretty sure his supporters will return fire.
Don’t some states have a no carry policy on firearms? Mind you, if four thousand armed protestors showed up, I’d be inclined to give them a lot of leeway. -

But with 10 Republicans voting to impeach that makes it the most bipartisan impeachment in history I believe. That's quite something, the 10 Republicans deserve some praise, but the rest of the Republicans in the House are no more than gutless traitors.

Registered 9 years agoThe ten Republicans who have the guts to vote to impeach Trump:
John Katko
Liz Cheney
Adam Kinzinger
Fred Upton
Jaime Herrera Beutler
Dan Newhouse
Peter Meijer
Tom Rice
Anthony Gonzalez
David Valadao
Bravo to them. A pity that their colleagues lacked a spine or the decency to do the right thing.

It needs to be a 2 thirds majority I think. I'll be surprised if they find enough of them with a backbone.
