Need a two-thirds in the Senate to convict so regardless the Democrats would need 17 or so Republicans to cross the aisle and vote to convict Trump and remove him from office. Can't see it happening. I think if the impeachment goes through the Republicans will just stall on holding the trial until after the 20th so they won't have to do anything.

Yes of course, I've forgotten a two-thirds majority was needed, no chance of that.

Yeah, they'll just delay until the 20th. I'm surprised it's even possible to think about rushing it through so quickly.

how much damage could he do in 12 days?

That's like Jeremy Clarkson asking "How hard can it be?"

They could more easily find 17 to walk across the street to tell him to resign, though.

You would think, at least

People are forgetting that even if Wednesday didn't happen, twittler earned impeachment for the call to Georgia...

The Republican party are now getting threats from Trumpers so it's actually in their interest to prosecute Trump. They actually need federal protection now.

Every vote to defend Trump or delay the hearing is more evidence that those senators supported his insurrection

I think the fact that they require a 2/3 majority makes it even more powerful. It means there is no hiding place. Every vote matters. And those who vote against it could be unelectable ever again

"We pay our taxes, we get nothing back" yeah that's called capitalism Ted, it's also called fiscal responsibility, you should ask the grim reaper about it he fcuking loves it haha

This is the stupidity that those GOP reps/Senators are playing with, pure child's play for them.

I so want this to be true.

https://www.mebere.com/capitol-death-taser-kevin-greeson-tasering-testicles-balls-himself-and-heart-attack

Outlets say that one of the individuals who died in an emergency probably played a role in their own death. News 1130, as well as other news outlets, claim that after mistakenly shocking himself with a taser, which caused him to have a heart attack, one of the males who died did so.

https://www.rawstory.com/rosanne-boyland-capitol/

A woman who was reportedly trampled to death during a riot inside the U.S. Capitol was reportedly obsessed with the QAnon conspiracy theory, according to her friends and family. A photo shows that she carried a Gadsden "don't tread on me" flag at a protest before the violent siege.

And to prove it here are a handful of the many hardcore Republicans, high profile republicans who endorsed Biden..

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Republicans_who_opposed_the_Donald_Trump_2020_presidential_campaign

When the likes of Colin Powell, is fûcking you under the bus... time to get a ticket and get on out of there..

You have a lot more faith in the Republicans than I do.

After Murkowski, who else is going to go across the aisle? Collins? Romney?

Romney was the first Senator from the impeached President's party to vote guilty in the last one.

Don't think so, only the actual impeachment and conviction would be a win.

Sure the GOP will get some bad press if they voted against it but they would suffer more damage with their supporters if they do vote for impeachment and conviction.

there's gonna be a civil war in the GOP over this. Its unimaginable that the entire party votes to defend Trump's insurrection, if so, it's likely to lead to a full scale actual civil war in the USA

The more likely (i flippin hope) scenario, is that the GOP split into pro-trump and pro-democracy factions and fight for control over the party. Could be a inner party split like the tea party, or purge of extremists from the GOP leading to a far right split forming a new party but I sincerely hope they don't unity behind Trump, cause that means guns on the streets

Ultimately with the GOP, the Donors are king. What do the main financial backers of the party want, and this is where the future lies.

I shudder to think of the possible outcomes

Remember in 2017 when the van was drove into pedestrians on London Bridge, I celebrated the death of all 3 of them terrorists. I am always happy to see a terrorist dead.

Celebrating? Nah, but its about on par with when a jihadiat accidentally blows only themselves up.

Watching her for the past few years, I'd put money on AOC being the first female President. She is closer to the Trump supporters in societal status than Trump himself.

Older Republican are obviously very threatened by her as they keep reverting back to her being a barwoman from NY.

Very capable and one to watch.

Isn't going to happen. The DNC are far, far, too conservative to let it happen.

But surely you shed the odd tear for all the dead who volunteered to join the fascists in Germany, Spain and Italy in the 30s.

or in other words, sucking at the same teat as the GOP and don't want to stray too far from the milk supply....

The Democratic party voters are far far closer to western liberal values than the DNC party is, but they're locked in a deal with the devil where they feel they need money to win elections and their voters interests do not align with their donors interests.

A proper cleanout is required of that whole corrupt system.

Its an extremely pivotal action because any such upheaval is a roll of the dice and the dice is usually loaded towards the rich and the powerful, and even if they lose, the weak are divided
