Impeachment Megathread Part 3

[Hindsight was 2020]

America is weeping at this vote.

Most of America doesn't care and doesn't even know what impeachment is.

Polls say the exact but whatever

[Stockdale for Veep]

American democracy (1783-2020) murdered by the Trump cult known as the GOP

"All men are created equal" certainly applied to 19th Century America....

[2016]

WOW, McConnell has just put the Democrats Running for President OUT OF BUSINESS. They will not be allowed to be in Iowa Monday Night!

I really don’t get why you think Bernie and Liz having to stay in DC will effect the caucus. In particular Bernie has a massive ground game that can function fine without him

I respectfully disagree with that. Yes, they might have massive Ground Games. That being said: It's not a Primary, it's a Caucus, People want to hear from the Candidates and Rick Santorum said on CNN that if he would be in these shoes he would be furious. This really can make a Difference of winning and not winning.

No it isn’t and your insistence this is some conspiracy theory to hurt Bernie is with all due respect completely moronic

[Donald Trump’s Toupée]

I wished McConnell would force them to be in session during the Super Bowl.

I don’t know who you are, but I f’ing love your concise points throughout this. I could have perhaps DM’d you, but hey public praise is good too!

Edit: Corrected diction.

[Bidenworth2020]

From a purely political standpoint, this was a win for democrats. Republicans just defied the will of 75% of Americans. For reference, their healthcare bill(s) were at about 30% support.

[Amtrak Joe]

Aaaaand Lamar Alexander is just another Senator who lacks a pair. Gg

[Donald Trump’s Toupée]

Serious question: is there an equivalence to Double Jeopardy? Is Trump acquitted forever on this issue, or can the Dems reopen it?

[Attorney General & PPT Dwarven Dragon]

NOW VOTING: Motion to table Schumer amendment #1295 (subpoena Mulvaney, Bolton, Duffy, Blair and the White House, OMB, DOD and State documents).

[Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Bodies for Biden]

How likely is it that Schumer introduces a censure resolution?

Fox News must be watching because this was just mentioned  there is no double jeopardy in impeachment.

Ergo, expect Ukraine 2.0....

[Attorney General & PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Amendment Rejected 53-47.

NOW VOTING: Motion to table Schumer amendment #1296 (Subpoena Bolton) to S.Res.488.

Broke: The DNC establishment is secretly conspiring against Bernie
Woke: Senate Republicans are secretly conspiring against Bernie

[Attorney General & PPT Dwarven Dragon]

NOW VOTING: Motion to table Schumer amendment #1297 (Subpoena Bolton with a time limit of 2 days for the deposition) to S.Res.488.

Most of America doesn't care and doesn't even know what impeachment is.

It's actually a pretty popular topic.

Serious question: is there an equivalence to Double Jeopardy? Is Trump acquitted forever on this issue, or can the Dems reopen it?

I don't know the technical Constitutional answer. But if a Democratic House wants to send more articles of impeachment in the future, it is not like there's a lack of untouched material. Mr. Trump's ongoing Emoluments violations alone could probably support multiple articles of impeachment. And in addition to the past, there's always whatever laws he'll be breaking tomorrow.

[Attorney General & PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Amendment Rejected 51-49

NOW VOTING: Motion to table Van Hollen amendment #1298 (Allow Roberts to decide on Witnesses and Documents) to S.Res.488.

[Attorney General & PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Closing arguments in the case will begin Monday at 11 a.m. and will last four hours. Senators will then have until Wednesday's vote to offer 10 minute speeches on the trial. On Wednesday at 4 PM, the Senate will vote on each Article individually. Senate adjourned for the weekend.

Impeachment is such a popular topic that the soap operas usually get 2x higher TV ratings than the trial when shown on the broadcast networks in the afternoon. It's such a popular topic that a Democratic focus group took 80 minutes to even mention the topic, and when they did they dismissed it as partisan nonsense.

Only hyper-partisans care about impeachment.

And only Republican dumbasses think this was a win for Trump.
