The Republicans didn't honour their oath of office the 1st time, you expect them to now?
MayMyEnemiesLiveLong
This may very well be the first case in history where all the jurors were also witnesses.

And they will prove once again that he is above the law!

He said “leave it up to the states” when it came to the pandemic, and fittingly it will be the states that will prosecute him.
ThailandExpress
lwoshea
Do it.
Shoutrr
can't this be counted as the first trial ? since the previous one was cockblocked by republicans who refused to do any trially things
BosunMark
Sworn in.. what a laugh. Like the GOP will even honor that oath..
Flonaise
spiceass9000
Ya he’s gunna get away with it. No way they’re getting 67 votes cause the GOP is fucked
dedpaen
I think what hits me in the gut is the death toll. So much could have been tried but wasn’t. They died for his ego.
firegrly420
Can they hold a secret ballot? See how many people vote to impeach him then?
middleburgh
that's a bobby dazzler of an idea
OMGamIImguringCorrectly
If you try hard enough you become the best at something eventually. Best at getting impeached!
gandersen
Republicans “sworn in” ?
Eldude3513
Calm down folks, we had a war over nonexistent WMDs and not one person was held accountable. Why would this be any different?
BigBeeOhBee
That room is much to small to hold all that insurrection.
nsaladbar
A correction to the title...if I may....he has already been impeached...this is the trial part now
Lassannn
They almost certainly won't convict him.
spaceymonkey
I wouldn't call the first one a trial, as they didn't even call witnesses.
Jbelkin
Impeachment process diff than courtroom trial just like there are hurt trials and without
IDontWantANameGoAway
How fun would it be to have the insurrectionists show up in cuffs and their bragging read aloud off their FBI interview transcripts.
Rhythmaster
That WOULD be fun...
wooshoo1992
Blimymyhat
couldn't call you mean?
Wikipedo
Exactly. Republicans forbade people from testifying, which made them say "witch hunt" and made it look one sided (even though it wasn't)
myeyesthegogglesdonothing
Well, couldn't because Bitch McConnel didn't allow it...
CatBeagler
Because he had just over half of a Senate chamber full of sycophants willing to support him in that effort
dyxj
Wouldn't call, you mean?
CanadianEngineer
Couldn’t* because Mitch wouldn’t. Your system’s broken yo
dyxj
Yes, Mitch and the GOP Senate _wouldn't_. They refused to allow it.
maxximii
TYT, who I frickin' hate, is reporting that Biden has instructed dems to drop the impeachment.
DarseZ
That title is clickbait. They're liberal but their tactics are scum. Read the description of that video.
maryoNoodleSmuggler
1 term/2 impeachment. Somehow that doesn't say "greatest president" to me. Shrug
ilhares
Hey now, that's twice as many as Nixon got. Everybody knows what a loser he was. /s
TheRockDude
GOP doesn't want to impeach a guy who incited a BOMB THREAT AGAINST THE GOP. What's it gonna take for the GOP to actually do the right -
TheRockDude
- fucking thing? $10 says Trump could pump Ted Cruz full of lead and they'd STILL all vote to acquit
heywoodjabme
In fairness most would accept that as justified.
greenspan
The only one missing is a Chief Justice. I wonder why?
TheRockDude
Apparently, the Chief Justice doesn't preside when it's not the current President on trial
thereitis101
Only five GOP senators even support proceeding and there needs to be 17 to convict. So, yeah. He won’t be convicted.
ederoni
I am at a loss of words. They're argument is pretty much he's now a private citizen so he just gets away with what happened...just wtf...
DarseZ
It's going to be right back into the madness. People need to write their reps, write op-eds. Get active politically.
mardukkur
Only five didn't join in to ABSOLUTE FUCKING NONSENSE! The argument they signed on to is utterly absurd. Way worse than just not convicting.
SmokyDoggg
This is a crucial proceeding. Will we allow insurrection and treason from future candidates? Or do we show them now that it's unacceptable?
YourMomsNewBoyfriend
The first one. 1 thousand percent the first one. Republicans would never win another election fairly. Insurrection is a fun new tool. Scum
DarseZ
That's incorrect, Republicans are very politically strong. That's why they're not going to convict.
Dagordae
1: Yes. Yes we will. The Republicans are already showing their backs, unless the few sane people left actually grow a spine and have some
Dagordae
Level of moral conviction(and they haven’t yet) then they’re almost certain to acquit again. Because the Republican Party has gone mad.
Cheomesh
He will be acquitted and this will become the new norm.
SmokyDoggg
I know it sounds like hyperbole but if that happensthe day trump gets acquitted will be one of the darkest days in the history of the nation
DarseZ
Actually the months afterward, the MAGA party, will far surpass this in darkness.
Cheomesh
Sucks, don't it.

So true. Every election in every state in every town. There are governors, mayors and other important government positions that effect you.

I just heard straight up facts
MrNobodyWTB
And it still feels like he had more decorum than trump did his entire presidency.
ThatWhineInYourEars
It's because there was no lies in the statement, or personal attacks. Just facts and events that happened.
LollipopFromHell
The GOP spineless Senators wont convict him because all spineless people know is how to follow the spineless Chief.
professionalmadman
The way they flipped I wonder if trumpsterfire has major dirt on them. Maybe from his good friend Epstein
marteney1
They won’t convict him because they don’t want to set that precedent for themselves. They want to keep getting away with shit
LeeeeroyShankins
Not looking forward to explaining to my unborn children how a president who was impeached twice still ran for office in 2024
frigidmagi2
I'm sure they'll still have cults in the future.

maybe they'll get another mob to attack the capitol so they can stop doing their jobs again

That and he isn't President so kinda pointless per the Constitution. No provision for impeaching a private citizen.
Tall4APanda
Fuck outta here.
BlueFalc0n
Lol, witty, big brained reply.
Green223
"It's unconstitutional for the Senate to try a private citizen!" is the nonsense they're spouting now after they purposely delayed things.
ObliqueRay
It's like watching a 6 year old defending itself
NKato
We really need to unload on these fucks. Zero remorse.
Darkcyric
Not an American, but is he actually a private citizen? If so, do you all get secret service detail for life and travel allowance?
ederoni
If u only have 2 weeks left, u can do watever u want & get away with it coz by the time they try & get u, u gona be a private citizen anyway

Like do they not realize how much support they lost from other respectable republicans? They are concerned about keeping trumps nutty
rjkardo
“respectable Republicans”
DarseZ
They haven't lost support, that's why they're backing down. Their constituents support the insurrection.
in70x
Fan base that’s just gonna do something else and make them even less respectable. Maybe they’d have a chance if they could show independents
in70x
Like myself that they don’t blindly follow con artist with too many incidences to count. I think to myself “damn I might just go Democrats”
TheRockDude
Wonder if more of their donors are gonna cut ties with them if the impeachment fails. I certainly wouldn't want to be associated with -
DarseZ
Many others support him. He's not hurting, unfortunately.
TheRockDude
- people who're still supporting a violent coup
Chrispybobispy
Tbf they would also lose thier next primary/ election... still spineless tho
mardukkur
It's not clear that's true in the senate. In some states, sure, but it's not like the house with lunatic districts. They're just cowards.
AnonOmis1000
No they wont
UnrealDreamer
At least three of them have announced their retirement and don't have to worry about that. At least three more represent states Biden won.
IAmAnthonyStark
I hope the ones who are retiring have plans of voting to convict.
katalavenoligoellenika
Portman weaseled out of saying so.
UnrealDreamer
I as well.
Dagordae
You know, refusing to condemn criminal activities because you want to profit off of them actually makes it worse.
IAmAnthonyStark
Bingo. I’m so appalled that any of them would allow this shit show to continue. In the long run, it doesn’t help them.
rosebudthesled
Happy for them to lose. They haven't done anything positive for the country in 20 years.
DickMercenary
More like 40. Since their Saint Reagan started this downward spiral.
Billis75
They would lose to people who are more like Trump since that's what the trash out there votes for.

All it needs is some rumor, that there great leader is willing to be crown wittness, throwing them under the bus.

Seen those FBI Agents entering Mara Lago, golfing with him, leaving with documents. Its over. He sold out everyone. Loyal to himself alone.
