McConnell now supports Trump IMPEACHMENT

[MarcATL]

Liz Cheney is a neverTrumper who will be primaried the next time she runs for office.

lol.

 

[OKTexas]

They finish it by removing. Impeachment is not complete without removal. Is that coherent enough for you?

By your logic, Trump wasn't impeached last year. Nor was Clinton in the 90s.
Educate yourself.

They weren't, impeachment is a two part process, accusations in the house and a trial in the senate. Both were acquitted. Accusations don't make a person automatically guilty.

Fourteenth Amendment

  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.

It doesn't look good for Trump.

No one engaged in insurrection, your fucking Nazi asshole.

‘Incitement of Insurrection’ is extremely serious - especially when done by a sitting U.S. president.

Impeachment Briefing: ‘Incitement of Insurrection’

House Democrats introduced an article of impeachment charging President Trump over the riot at the Capitol.

You're delusional. No such thing ever happened.

We know. It has now. That mf will be impeached on Wednesday.

All that proves is that Democrats are douchebags desperate to get rid of Trump.

 

[Orangecat]

Is that an argument?

No, it's called a lesson.

Senator Jack Danforth called supporting Hawley the biggest mistake of his life

Funny, no one seems to remember the commies challenging the EC the last 3 times a republican won the presidency. Acting like this is a first won't change history.

They were impeached. Impeachment is a House process, and both were impeached. I understand your argument, but it's really a tiny minority opinion. Google "us presidents that have been impeached" for evidence.

 

[OKTexas]

A simple majority vote in the Senate could ban Trump from ever holding a future federal office - preventing him from ever running for president again.

That's a lie.

Nope, that'a FACT. Several legal experts have said that is true tonight.

Just breaking on MSNBC. Below is The New York Times link. So, if true, will McConnell expedite Senate impeachment proceedings - or continue to drag his feet?

Senator Mitch McConnell, the Republican leader, has told associates that he believes President Trump committed impeachable offenses and that he is pleased that Democrats are moving to impeach him, believing that it will make it easier to purge him from the party, according to people familiar with his thinking. The House is voting on Wednesday to formally charge Mr. Trump with inciting violence against the country.

Mr. McConnell, Republican of Kentucky, has indicated that he wants to see the specific article of impeachment that the House is set to approve on Wednesday, which is expected to draw support from as many as a dozen Republicans, potentially including Representative Liz Cheney of Wyoming, the party’s No. 3 in the House. But he has made clear in private discussions that he believes now is the moment to move on from the weakened lame duck, whom he blames for causing Republicans to lose the Senate.

McConnell is said to be pleased about impeachment, believing it will be easier to purge Trump from the G.O.P.

a rat leaving a sinking ship.

Impeachment articles in the house are the equivalent of an indictment, without a determination that the person is actually guilty, the indictment is not sustained and is moot.

McConnell wants Trump and Trumpism castrated.

This is round one in the fight for the soul (or what's left of it) of the Republican party.

i say article 3 of the 14th amendment could be used to stop Trump running again...

McConnell would be over the moon if Democrats stopped Trump running again..

I just heard a legal expert say on MSNBC that if Trump is impeached and convicted in the Senate - he would lose all his ex-president perks.

Everyone grab a seat and watch the Republican Party implosion.

You think the uber wealthy are going to back up anybody but themselves if Trump disappears?

No.

McConnel handed the GA runoff elections to the Dems on a silver platter by opposing the $2,000 stimulus payments which Trump supported. Biden and the Dems then used the promise of the $2,000 payments to buy votes in GA. Now McConnel the blithering idiot has the nerve to blame Trump for the GA loss, amazing.

Nah. Georgia was just plain fraud. They made up ballots. Threw republican ballots away. Same old same old.

Proof?

Only a moron would believe that Republican states, Republican election officials, Republican courts and judges all conspired with Democrats to rig the election for Biden. Just think about that...

Still waiting on a direct quote from McConnell. Otherwise this is fake news.

Actually, anything you don’t like is fake news.

All the communist democrats want is to be able to stop Trump from running again. They are that afraid he would win.

Unless the commies go full Romanov there are certainly other Trumps to carry the torch of freedom.

 

[Turtlesoup]

CNN is reporting that McConnell hates Trump for what happened on January 6.

I heard that. I don't think that should be a surprise. McConnell sold his soul to defend Trump. I am sure he has a hard time looking in the mirror..er..I mean in terms of selling his soul. So, McConnell's bitterness may be understandable.

Turtleneck--is a swamp creature--------------and CNN lies so no telling where this goes.
