The Second Impeachment of Donald Trump (Update: House Officially Votes to Impeach)
- Thread starter Realyst
- Start date
There's at least 6 or 7 House Rs, some like Liz Cheney being very prominent, that have already publicly said they'd vote to impeach. Probably end up with a few more than that.
Yeah, true, but that's pretty unlikely after next week. Most will be present, most will exonnerate Trump saying that Democrats need to stop focusing on the past, stop being political, and try to ... I dunno do something for the American people or w/e.
They're craven.
There are at least ~6 by my count who will be voting yes on impeachment, including the 3rd ranking Republican in the House, Dick Cheney's daughter, Liz Cheney. Ultimately it doesn't matter, their caucus cohorts with terrorists and insurrectionists. But, it'll be a bipartisan impeachment.
And there is the vote. It's going to the senate. Of course roll call vote is being called for.
I meant in the Senate when this eventually goes to trial. In the senate, I believe there are 3 Republicans who will vote to convict -- Mitt Romney, Pat Toomey, Lisa Murkowski. They will probably need a dozen or so more assuming that most Republicans are present for a vote.
In the house it doesn't matter, Democrats will impeach Trump without a single Republican, but they will get at least 6 (or now 7), earlier estimates had thought we'd get between 10-20.
The vote begins
mcconnell +

...then i run out of republicans
Civics isn't even a requirement is school anymore. I took it as an elective, but most don't. It's depressing to see how many people in the US don't know the very basics of how the Government works. Of course, I don't expect everyone to know every little minor rule, but I expect them to know the basics. Even just to know what's taught in Schoolhouse Rocks would be a start.
well I can't speak for all of Chicago. But I haven't encountered a lot of those. And I've been to quite a few larger parties with my wife's company, which is a talent/modeling agency.
Was in a meeting: So is what they're voting on now another vote-for-a-vote or the actual impeachment vote?
if they don't show, that's great. It's 2/3 of the ones that are there.
McConnell never said that he will vote to impeach in the Senate. A source close to McConnell said he supports impeachment in the House. I have no doubt that McConnell supports impeachment in the house both because it can, eventually, push Trumpism out of his senate caucus, but more important, an impeachment trial can be used to grind government to a hault and eat up time in the first two years of Biden's presidency.
I don't think that Collins, Sasse, or Paul have committed to it. I'd be shocked if Collins and Paul did. I'd imagine Collins will say that Trump learned a valuable lesson and that we should move on, and Rand Paul, who the fuck knows what goes on in his head. Sasse might. I think that makes four.
Thanks, I'm watching intently.
This is for the first impeachment trial in the Senate from 2019:
Today we have Republicans voting Yea for the first time from the House.
Today we have Republicans voting Yea for the first time from the House.
pretty sure that there's at least 7 confirmed that are supposed to be voting yes....any more than that would be a surprise....
This isn't true. There are not many, but a few house republicans have already stated they will vote yea.
Edit: Sorry, I see this has been corrected several times already.
Gold coast ain't called sugar daddy coast for nothing lol.
Remember that the Republican House does not accurately represent the Republican Senate. There were vast differences in their voting on certifying the election results.
Makes sense, but the clear crime on tape seems like such a slam dunk on putting Republicans on the spot for backing him or breaking off. Once they do that, follow up with this one for a pincer.
No.
Senators aren't going to go on record about their stance because they're supposed to weigh the evidence presented during the trial.
