Impeachment coming

[ivwshane]

or other's like him?

There will always be others like him but if he can't be held accountable or stopped then when a more competent person comes along we won't be able to stop them.

Anybody who still supports Trump after this, is evil. Anyone who votes to not convict Trump, is also evil. I mean those are just cold hard facts.

Let's face it, history has shown us that in every nation are large groups of politically and socially evil people, that just need the right political movement or leader to come along and wake that evil up. In modern America, that is the Trump party and Trump supporters.

And what is Fox News currently talking about with ignoring video of murder and chaos in the Capitol???? SPORTS. Fox has diverted to SPORTS. Sports talk. Question... can we impeach a fake news network controlled by Donald Trump ???? This is not a free speech issue, this is Fox continuing the insurrection.

Can anyone even imagine a 47th president Donald Trump come 2024? If Trump is not banned from future office, and runs and is elected, which could easily happen, can anyone imagine the wrath of Trump come a second term? January 6th 2021 would seem like a church picnic.

And you know the idiots who are saying move on already would happily vote him back in. Then again they though the whole Rudy and the fraud guarantee crew digging up dirt on Biden was fine.

I'm not convinced he'll run due to age and legal challenges, and his opponents would have a much easier time shooting him down, but...

I have thought about the vengeance streak he'd have. Even some of his more ardent Republican allies might ask him to chill, in no small part because he'd probably try to violate the law in the process.

Many senate republicans that will vote to acquit simply brush off any suggestion that Trump would run in 2024 or could get elected if he dare tried. Again, it's like they are saying not to bother with impeachment or baring Trump from future office because Trump has learned his lesson and no one would want to go thru another Trump administration anyway. I don't see how they could believe what they are saying. If Trump is not stoped from running in 2024 everyone with a heartbeat knows that Donald Trump will run again in 2024. Senate republicans know it and Trump knows it. SO why pretend that impeachment is not necessary and baring Trump from holding future office is not necessary? We know how Trump is and we know how absolutely insane his base would become at the very thought of a second Trump candidacy. The Trump Tower escalator is being prepped as we speak, the motors oiled and the stairs retreaded. And the cheering Trump on actors have already been hired, even though the old actors from 2015 have yet to be paid.

That was my point. IF we don't hold Trump accountable and convict him, there is no stopping any like him that follow.

The dem house impeachment managers are doing an outstanding job. Anyone who votes to acquit has no soul or moral compass.

Or... does not believe their lies and hateful politics. Why, they could be focused on policy to help people. Rather than attacking Republicans. Oh, and why are they all Democrats anyway? Tells you what kind of people they are.

Yup, the DNC better have succession plan in place. No one is indispensable. Yikes! I can't believe he is entertaining reelection in 2022.

Most sane people understand there was an election and we have a new president, so have moved on. Frankly, I don't give a fuck about an impeachment trial, or whether he's convicted or acquitted. It's over and now I'm focused on the next 4 years.

I guess Trump is like oxygen to some people and the media...they just can't get off the bottle. PTrSD, the gift that keeps giving.

Remember when you said they should stop looking into Hillary's emails because she wasn't SOS anymore?

Fox News still sucking Trump's dick. They cut away from todays riveting testimony by the House managers.

If republicans WILL NOT take this seriously and refuse to do what they know is the right thing to do, then....

Then there should be no more waiting on civility. It should be open season to grab what can be grabbed with the available power.
Frankly that should already be the case.
But if the Senate convicts, do you think that materially changes and improves America's position?
You think we can afford to stand down and pretend things are normal if a washed up has-ben is tossed aside by McConnell?

So I guess a lot of insane people have been and continue to be loyal to trump.

It’s mind boggling how people like you can ignore what happened and just let trump go with no responsibility or repercussions. Don’t you realize that it sets a dangerous precedent for the future. A president can do anything they want in the last few weeks like trump did and get away with it.
EDIT: I just read on soros.net that Biden is going to do the same thing at the end of his term and stay president until he dies then its going to flip to Kamala.

If people like you vote trump in 2024 he will never leave.

I dare you to watch the impeachment proceedings today and not be affected.

They probably cut to a mypillow commercial.

What it does is to stabilize our democracy. Without holding trump accountable further weakens our democracy and primes it for further destruction. Basically it stops our democracy from completing falling apart.

 

[Lanyap]

I like the way Biden is dealing with the history making second impeachment of trump the traitor. TTT if you like acronyms. He’s like - let the dems in the senate handle it, that’s their job. (EDIT: I have more important tasks at hand to help the American people.) If this were reversed TTT would be tweeting stupid shit all night long and ignoring COVID (like he always did) and other important stuff.

Ok cop killer.

Several dead police. 140 injured. One cop had an eye gouged out by bloodthirsty republican mob bent on assassination and overthrow of democracy.

Nah. We ain't just "moving on" from this because you cop killing insurrectionists failed.

 

[sportage]

Well, it is inconceivable to think that so many republicans within congress would have fallen into the cult of Trump, then have remained so loyal to the point of defending the overthrowing of the United States government, and now continue still to defend a traitor, insurrectionist, and the most dangerous American in history. Most dangerous considering his power as president. Now we know how Abe Lincoln must have felt but with Lincoln it was all about slavery. With republicans today it's all about lunatics and terrorism.

And speaking of slavery, of republicans in congress, and of entitlement, we all know which side current senate republicans would have come down on when it came to Lincoln threatening to free the slaves. Republicans of today would have freaked and pulled with Lincoln what they pulled with Obama and now with Biden. During slavery, the slaves were wealth. I can not imagine Sean Hannity willing to give up his wealth for that liberal socialist Abe Lincoln. That would be like asking republicans today to give up their Mercedes for a liberal cause.

 

[Fenixgoon]

Apparently the case is going to be finished up today. I hope they close with all of the insurrectionist minions saying Trump wanted them to do it

Only the prosecutor's will be done today. Then we get to start the circus of bullshit from Trump's lawyers.


On a other note:

since 44-45 Republicans want to try and hide behind "it's not constitutional" since Trump is out of office, and Mcconnell's vote supports that reasoning as well. And Mcconnell chose to postpone the impeachment trial untill after Trump left office, when it was his duty to have the trial prior to Trump leaving office, if he truly believed such bullshit about it not being constitutional. Then he deliberately allowed Trump to get away with it and go unpunished.


There for, Mcconnell needs to be impeached for his derelict of duty and failure to honor his oath he took as a Senator. By postponing the trial, believing it was unconditional as his vote supports, he is now guilty of aiding and abetting Trump in his actions. I would like to see these bastards try to defend McConnell, after their stance on the constitutionality of Trump's second impeachment. They would have to admit they lied about the constitutionality of Trump's trial at some point to even defend McConnell.

How the hell could anyone vote to acquit Trump? Senators fear the wrath of Trump supporters? I'd be more afraid of someone else's wrath.

That's exactly it. They aren't afraid of Trump, they are afraid of his supporters. They are afraid of what he can still do to their futures and careers via his brainwashed minions. The only courageous Republicans are the ones that have or are going to retire, and no longer fear the public retribution. The cult is so pervasive it's like the coronavirus itself, incredibly difficult to overcome without the support of everyone. And the chances of every Republican in office getting together and saying "this needs to end, we need to take back our party" are about zero. I suspect the death threats they've seen from others and would expect from their own constituents, and actually seeing what these whackadoodles will attempt to do keeps them cowed. If anything the insurrection shows them what they'd be up against, the MAGA cancel culture.

 

[owensdj]

The evidence for Trump's guilt presented in the trial has been completely overwhelming. Any Republican who does not vote Guilty is putting party above what's legally and morally right.

I thought they were the party of "law and order?"
