It'll take two thirds of the senate to actually remove him from office right? What do you all think are the chances for that?
Do folks on Era actually not know how slow government works or do they just like to complain? Legit question.

2 days, it's taking a bit longer to go to floor because they are attempting to bypass the steps and get the senate vote in 2days of it hitting the floor...So he's getting impeached next week and removed from office... when? The 20th? Lmao
Here, I'll predict Republican senators' words on the debate floor, with one hundred percent accuracy:
"While we condemn the actions and words of Donald Trump and his role in the attempted insurrection in Capitol Hill, now is not the time for further divide. We have a new administration coming in a week; this is merely an attempt by Democrats to unnecessarily inflame a further schism in America. They are not interested in unity, they are interested only in revenge. We need to let the nation heal."
Ugh.
Let's hope Republicans' self-interest and desire to not have to run against Trump in the future wins out.I'd imagine it depends on what mconnel and the party brass indicate and if they think their party could sustain giving trump the boot. It may be signal the death knell of a few republican careers before long
if he's on board, there might be enough.
It will get some R votes this time, probably. But basically 0% chance it gets to 2/3.It'll take two thirds of the senate to actually remove him from office right? What do you all think are the chances for that?
With our luck... "failed to impeach" twice.Trump will go down as the only President in US history to be impeached twice.
What I'm more curious about is how Mitch McConnell will vote. I can honestly see him going either way since he was condemning Trump's election dispute bullshit, and of course just being usual Mitch McConnell and voting not to convince him anyway.
Nothing in the constitution says shit about a committee. There are a lot of smart people in DC. If the dems wanted it, they could've had impeachment on the floor on Wednesday-early Thursday (after the EC counting was done). Thursday at the latest.Government moves slowly. They are trying to circumvent a lot of the committees required to fast track it as much as possible.
Welp. Good to know my mental model of shitheads is entirely accurate.
Good. Force those nazi enabling scum to vote on it. Force them to stand up and squeak about how it's unfair that the monster they created is being victimised.
He ain't gonna get removed from office....So he's getting impeached next week and removed from office... when? The 20th? Lmao
No problem, every republican who votes No will be named and shamed as appeasers and enablers.
You mean "failed to convict"
I agree.Oh no big deal, it's just the weekend and he knows they're going to do something on Monday.
What the fuck can go wrong with a cornered animal? You've given him the clear indication you're going to eradicate him, and he's already seen he has an army on standby.
Do it fucking now. Jesus fucking Christ.

WH statement on new impeachment proceedings: "As President Trump said yesterday, this is a time for healing and unity as one Nation. A politically motivated impeachment against a President with 12 days remaining in his term will only serve to further divide our great country."

Bolton tried to argue there'd be two presidents in between the letters being sent back and forth. But he's a liar (and a war monger). Only Pence would be president, and Trump would cease to have any power the moment it was invoked.If Republicans really honestly believe that impeaching the President will further divide the country, why don't they convince Pence to invoke the 25th amendment? If the Republicans get him to step down, doesn't that eliminate a lot of the divisiveness?

This is also the big one.No problem, every republican who votes No will be named and shamed as appeasers and enablers.
This obviously doesn't mean anything to republican voters. Most of them are selfish imbeciles. But journalists and outlets won't take them seriously ever again, or platform them without bringing it up.
