Eh, if it means Trump is neutered, let him have a victory lap.
Vote on their own, send to a reconciliation committee to merge the two, revote in both chambers on the revised version.
We'll see.
The calculating move for him is not to show. There's no upside to it.
So new congress and new President tomorrow. What's next? They find a hidden caché of 500 Million vaccines?
I guess in the end McConnell actually wants democracy to stick around, even if it's just the shambling zombie democracy he championed.
While they may convict Trump, I don't think it will matter in the long run. Unless something really changes, Republicans will eventually decide that they would rather destroy democracy than fairly compete with Democrats.
17 Republicans, though?
I can think of 5. Max.
Someone gonna have to point out the other dozen defectors. Just doesn't make sense to me.
We already know the answer. Mitch wouldn't even be entertaining this if he were still the majority leader.
Yeah, I can't think of 17 of them either, but it's not like him to risk himself if he doesn't have the votes.
As someone pointed out Trumps approvals are already recovering so now is the time to take him out. If they dont it will be a fatal error.
Why the fuck has the AG confirmation hearing not even been scheduled at this point?
:checks judiciary committee website:
"Chairman: Lindsey Graham" ...oh, I see...
"Ranking Member: Diane Feinstein" ...oh, fucking hell...

Actions speak louder than words. But he's still a coward for not invoking the 25th. Your boss put you within seconds of getting killed. If that doesn't make you see...
Precisely why, I would argue, that they can't.
He's still the defacto leader of the GOP. Which in my opinion, is actually pretty great. He can finish tearing the party in two and leaving it in shambles. It's what they deserve.
Trump would love that. He'd keep the money and get to play the victim.
He hated being president. He loved the adulation and monetizing the office.
I can't read the article but is making Election Day a holiday in the bill? It'd be nice if it was.
I would bet actual dollars that the planning all goes back to Roger Stone.
Swing a gun? If someone even shows up armed they are probably dead.
True, but now it'll be all about a vengeance run. He probably has a burning desire to get back at everyone.
I have a vision of reconciliation committee members walking into the conference room and blowing copious amounts of dust off the desks.
Yeah, but he'll just try to ruin them while keeping the grift going.
He's going to be in legal hot water every day for the rest of his life so hopefully, just like a miracle, he just goes away.
What's the political benefit of this when Trump can remerge and potentially destroy you for such things?
I don't think some of these groups understand what's coming their way, not just as a fallout from the riot but from a DOJ and FBI that's actually empowered to go after them instead of turning a blind eye to go after BLM antifa karate assassins.
Exactly. If he doesn't have the votes, Trump will attack him constantly and also attack anyone Mitch wants to get elected. Mitch will lose all his power - which is the only thing he cares about.
There's little sense in provoking Trump if he doesn't intend to actually take him out.
Nah, Mitch wants him gone and not running again. Trump's about to go into revenge mode (I guess he never stopped though) against the GOP that "betrayed him". Not being able to run again would stop Trump from running third party, which would destroy the GOP forever.
Brace yourselves.
He's got Proud Boys too - more recently.

I would warn anyone against the kind of thinking that underestimates Trump's ability to come back strong. The only thing that is great is him gone for good.
He works 24/7 having many meetings and making many calls.
When people do this at my workplace, HR just tells them to go home and makes their end date effective immediately.
I support that strategy here.

I hope I'm right. McConnell gains nothing for speaking out now without a conviction behind it. Betting that Trump is dead by 2024 still leaves him to wreck stuff until then.
