Just The News: Opposition to convicting former President Trump in an impeachment trial is growing among Senate Republicans as the trial date approaches.
The Democratic-led House is expected to formally deliver the article of impeachment for “incitement of insurrection” to the U.S. Senate on Monday evening.
Democrats now control the Senate with Vice President Kamala Harris as the tie-breaking vote. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has said a trial is set to begin the week of Feb. 8 and all senators will have a chance to take a position on the article. Vermont Sen. Patrick Leahy, the Senate president pro tempore, announced on Monday that he will be presiding over the trial.
“I think a lot of Americans are going to think it’s strange that the Senate is spending its time trying to convict and remove from office a man who left office a week ago,” said Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton on Sunday. more
If the Demetiacrats did nothing unconstitutional, they’d do nothing at all.
McConnell simply won’t notify dissenters about the vote. Easy peasy.
Same thing I said about the filibuster.
All farcepeachment II is doing is doubling down on farcepeachment I which only served to prove that we’re a fucking banana republic shithole now.
For what?!?!?!
They’re worried that Trump is going to use his candidacy war fund on primarying anyone who opposes now or in the past Donald J, Trump. He’s going after the Rhinos. Mr. President, you are free to use the $$$ we sent to your candidacy to unseat turncoats. Put Romney at the head of the list.
Trump can also use his monetary war chest that he has left from his campaign and give it to others in the Republican party to get elected.
..and the clown show continues.
I reckon it will go on forever.
Feeling a little heat fella’s?
Stand by, it’s going to get much much warmer!
I notice not a one of these assholes have brought up all the clips of the anarchists who began the violence and property damage.
Not to mention the suspiciously undermanned capital police who acted like tour guides to the crowds.
keep sucking gro-biden dick, dindus
Half of these Republicans senators are still pussys including the necrosis china woman lover.
I’m baffled by the strategy Republicans are deploying to stop(?) the lurch towards the Schumer Shitshow.
Namely, “we can’t unify on this path. You’re delaying your successes and appointments by doing this.”
It assumes sainted Unity is an actual premise they believe and it’s not. It concern trolls a delay in their gratification and it doesn’t.
And worst of all, it doesn’t fight back against their lies. They cheated and stole the election. They stole a mile and it’s a sprint to revenge.
Laws don’t matter. Rules don’t matter. Senatorial comity is a pipe dream that institutionalists like McConnell smoke. Disowning Trump is death by a thousand cuts and you better realize that you should hang with him against this witch hunt or you’ll all hang separately.
Democrats are not taking survivors.
