McConnell now favors impeaching Trump; if he and Schumer agree they'll call an emergency session

HairyBallsDawg

McConnell's aides are saying he now sees this as the best way to rid the Republican party of Trump.

An impeachment with Senate conviction means Trump can never hold public office again.

McConnell and Schumer both say there is a 2004 Senate procedural rule that allows them to call an emergency session of the Senate before inauguration day -- and this doesn't require unanimous Senate approval.

There is no Republican Party in DC. It belongs to the people who aren’t bootlicking suckers to a political party like you are, Conspiracy Freak.

Schumer basically has to with AOC breathing down his neck.

I would have tried posting the Parler version of the story but it seems they are having technical issues.

Yes, we know you’re big on censorship, Kook. Tell me more about Pence being president.

An impeachment conviction is better for Mitch, it gets Trump out of a prez run in 2024.

I have zero doubt McConnell wants Nancy to take the step... right over the fucking cliff.

Takes 67 Senate votes. The Pre-Trial and Trial should take about six months to reward Media for their loyalty.

In the end, that 67th vote will die of Covid 2 days before the vote.

They might use article 3 of the 14th amendment instead... only needs simple majority, not 2/3rds.

You really think they fear Trump That much?

It is a faster way of achieving the primary end result. I'd rather see him impeached again to strip him of his pension and secret service detail but 14.3 goes pretty far.

"No Person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability."

This was put into the constitution as the civil war was ending to prevent some southern generals from becoming Senators or the Prez. Also works great in Trump's case.

He could sue to have it reversed but that would require him going to court and taking an oath in front of a jury... which we all know is last thing he'd ever do.

I’m here for the unity and healing hot talk

Got it, thanks

So Trump must be impeached so he can’t run for President again. That’s pretty much an admission that he really did win the election and the UniParty knows it, which is why we’re full speed ahead on censorship and a full display of military strength against political dissenters on Inauguration Day.

Basically this is the message to free-thinking Americans starting on Day One of the Biden Regime.

Republicans have a lot to gain by

Just says the Republican party leadership is looking to distance themselves from him. They hated him before, backed him for a while, and Trump blew the whole thing up with the Capitol sedition, and now they are back to hating him.

What are dems so scared of? What do they fear? Someone explain that to me.

They fear arrest and prison is what I think. Treason, sedition, election tampering etc.

Should have Benn easy to price no monkey business but the fight tooth and nail to hide it all.
