Fergasun Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 The House is not important. The issue is the Senate. Mitch McConnell needs to convene the Senate and have a trial immediately or else the GOP can't claim to repudiate what Trump did. Why is the Senate not coming in to vote on impeachment?   Failure to go on voting record means they are still supporting Trump.  Charges should not be just the riot, but also the GA election interference.  Trump doesn't deserve the Presidency for another hour.    Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it's Jan 19 the earliest.    Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simmsy Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 If we try to impeach him 3 months from now, the GOP will have no reason to vote for impeachment. They will say it was a long time ago, he's gone, lets move on. We need to force a vote ASAP while it's still fresh in the minds of the world. Even if impeachment doesn't go thru, we need the complicit people on the record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCS Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Agreed. Also agree with an earlier poster who stated they're overthinking this. I remember a comment made during the first Impeachment by Rep. Ayanna Pressley that they could walk and chew gum. Okay. Time for Joe,Kamala,Nancy and the gang to walk and chew gum then. Get it done ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88Comrade2000 Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Trump will be president until Noon on 1/20. Say the House is able to impeach Trump by Wednesday. That would be one more week of Trump. The Mitch lead Senate has already said they won't take up impeachment until the 19th. Even if they hold a vote, to come in early; it will not pass. There's enough GOPers to block any early sessions.  Even if the GOP agree to a trial and had one; the vote will convict Trump will not lead to removal. I doubt you would get more than handful of GOPers to vote to convict Trump.

Burgold Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 The Republican majority dragging their feet on impeachment especially in contrast to their sprint to confirm judges would be disgusting.  or their hypocritical norm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That needs to be brought up repeatedly during this process, remind the American people where GOP congressmen's priorities actually lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burgold Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 It really is tough to fathom that the Republicans think, "No one ever thought people would take the words of the President of the United States seriously," is a good argument. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I think their argument is more closely summarized as "Me, and the entire GOP, have absolutely no responsibility for the lies which we have been systematically telling for over a month, and which we are continuing to tell, in the Congressional Record, after the attempted coup."Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

China Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 More than half of Americans want President Trump out of the office before inauguration day  Over half of Americans believe Donald Trump should be removed from office before his term ends as two-thirds give him a good amount of the blame for the rioting that occurred in Washington, D.C. this week. This comes as less than a third of Americans trust Trump to protect democracy in the United States. However, America remains divided as only half of the country trusts Joe Biden to protect democracy in the U.S.  The majority of the American public (56%) says that Donald Trump should be removed from office before his term ends.  Two-thirds (67%) say the President deserves a good amount (15%) or a great deal (52%) of the blame for the riots in Washington, D.C. Virtually all Democrats (94%) and a majority of independents (58%) believe Trump should be removed; only 13% of Republicans agree.   Click on the link for the full article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
