no freaking way.  more than half of these thugs are literally voting to object to Biden's clear win.

You'd need a majority of the House to impeach and 2/3 of the Senate (66 for now) to convict. Not implausible.

Who would be the Republican senators to get to that number though?

Let's start with Romney, Murkowski, Collins.

Hell let's say McConnell, Sasse, Toomey, Capito, Thune, the Georgia Senators for the hell of it...

That still leaves like 8 senators needed.
Well, 45 of them voted against the objection. There's a decent pool of theoretically yes votes. Not saying it will happen, but it could.

Might be a good idea for the Republicans to impeach Trump. Obviously they don’t want to disassociate themselves from all aspects of the Trump agenda, but impeaching him might enable Pence/the Senators to partly launder themselves of the man himself, at least in the eyes of some swing voters who were turned off by Trump’s Trumpiness last year.

I remember this happening during the Obamacare repeal vote too.

Unrelated to the situation at hand but is there a way I can sue CNN? I was forced to have it on for a week after the election and I have a feeling I'm going to have to do it again. This is unacceptable and I do not deserve to be exposed to the sensationalist Failing CNN for another week.

SirWoodbury has been offline since this morning. Hope he made it back home from the Capitol okay.

I don’t!

Why was he at the Capitol? Did he identify himself as being one of the people storming it, or does he work there as a Congressional page or something?

I think it's a joke about Woodbury basically being a fascist (before I get modded for this, he literally had Nazi symbols in his signature)

Unhinged. And trying to lean on literally the most junior Rep senator is pathetic.

The three other deaths are being attributed to miscellaneous "health issues", but again, caused by the idiocy these individuals were fooled into participating by Trump today.  Probably heart attacks/asthma attacks/similar conditions due to the chaos.
