Trump 2nd Impeachment News/Talk Megathread

[dotard]

I was listening to the coverage on NPR on my way home from work and I could feel my eyes rolling out of my skull the second Jordan started speaking. It’s really sad I know the sound of his voice.

I'll believe it when I see it, but I feel that even if this were to actually happen on live tv I still wouldn't be able to comprehend it.

Who's the one Republican who voted for the 25th Amendment resolution?

[Badger]

9 managers including Swalwell & not a single Republican.  this is not a serious effort to do something that can get 67 votes in the Senate.

why don't you cry more

what the hell kind of braindead useless response is that ?   go troll somewhere else.

If you want something Republicans will support, you need Republican input.  If not, fine.  Pelosi knows how to keep her caucus together enough to get 218, but has no inclination towards doing what would be needed to get any Republican support.

Four House Republicans are already supporting impeachment. Seems like she has more inclination than you.

lolwut ?

You are spiraling, dude. Log off for a while and take a walk.

Or how about you leave me the fyck alone until you can discuss things without trying to make it a dick waving contest.

I’ll leave you alone when you stop crying about how Nancy Pelosi wasn’t nice enough to the Republicans and telling her how to do her job while open Republican support for impeachment steadily grows.

Sorry I offended you by suggesting Nancy Pelosi isn't infallible. Hopefully you will recover eventually. 

A Long Walk, shua. A very very long walk.

Do we know roughly what time the House impeachment vote is going to be tomorrow?

[Dwarven Dragon]

[Santander]

Now that the urging is over, time for the main event to begin tomorrow.

Do we know roughly what time the House impeachment vote is going to be tomorrow?

At 9am tomorrow morning, the House will convene & begin 1 hour of procedural debate, followed by 2 procedural votes, followed by 2 hours of debate on the article itself, followed by the final vote, which should be around ~2:30pm.

EDIT: it now appears that the vote will actually end up taking place at approx. ~3pm tomorrow, rather than ~2:30pm.

Nice. She didn't even strike me as being particularly outspoken or critical of Trump over the last week, even if she is towards the more moderate side of the caucus. Hopefully there are some more slightly under-the-radar yes votes.

I did see an article that said Dems were leaning on her to vote yes, among others (Kinzinger, Upton, etc.).

That phrasing definitely sounds like he plans to vote yes.

Probably this one. It said that Pelosi was trying to get the five who have confirmed, plus Meijer and Fitzpatrick.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

FWIW, I just sent messages to both Senator Burr and Senator Tillis urging them to vote to convict Donald Trump as a means to discourage a future President from overrunning Congress if they don't get their way, along with making a number of constitutional and rule of law arguments.

[Non Swing Voter]

Feel like a lot of the Republicans who vote to impeach are going to end up being in blue states where Democrats control redistricting.  Maybe it's their way of saying screw the other republicans and not me because I'll work with you.

Yes, that’s what I was thinking of, thank you. Now all we need are the other three to thirteen Republican yes votes they’ve been dangling before us.

And I'm sure those 205 nay votes were based solely on the high-minded constitutional principle that the 25th amendment should only be done in case of bona fide mental and physical inability to serve, not because those congressmen are Craven

Absolutely disgusting.

Look, the 25th Amendment was not meant for this. The right way to deal with Trump is impeachment.

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

it is pretty clear at this point that kinzinger would drive over trump with a toyota prius if he could now

[Darthpi - Crush the Oligarchy]

I had to say the phrase "First Trump impeachment trial" out loud earlier tonight and, not gonna lie, took a little getting used to. But will be happy to get acquainted with it.

Patience, Badger. All will be revealed tomorrow.
