You doth protest too much, methinks.

Impeachment can take a lot of time, when there is time to kill, but right now they will be moving fast. Like anything, it can be expedited. We are after all talking about attempting get it done before the new administration even takes office.

Taking NOTHING away from the new administration.

BUT WHY? And it does take things away from the new administration. They are now completely focused on fucking this retard. I bet he loves this.

Seriously? Don't impeach him because he would love it?

I am starting to think you are looking for excuses to defend him.

On the house side, this will only take a couple of days, before the Biden Administration. It's an irrelevant impact.

It will probably get punted by the Senate...

Consequences can and should happen. They aren't dependent on a last second impeachment.



I'm talking about the blue team preparing to make shit happen ASAP. You don't wait to start preparing for this stuff (writing bills/making deals/whatever) until you are in office. Get started NOW. We need it. We have the right people coming into office. I want them to hit the ground running and focus on helping us instead of getting revenge. Get revenge later. It will still be available and might be more available if it is focused on criminal charges instead of getting a guy out of office a couple days early. Don't be petty. Win.

It is already available. It’s sitting on McConnell’s desk with an inch of dust. You say the Blue Team needs to do something but they are not in control until 1/20. You suggest doing nothing until then? Why?

I want my dudes to be looking out for me before screwing the other team. You can still do both. I just don't see a downside to waiting on the revenge thing.
You mean like him fleeing the fucking country on or before Jan 20th? Yeah. It's not outside the realm of possibility.
The biggest reason to impeach him again is to try to prevent him ever holding office again. It doesn't have to be done by Jan 20th. but why not start now? Why sit and do NOTHING in the interim? I'm pretty fucking sure Congress is fully capable of walking and chewing gum simultaneously...
The pardon only works on the federal level, right? States can still charge and convict him. I just want him in a jail. I don't care which. And I don't care if it happens in the next 12 days or not. Just do it, but we should have our priorities straight. This is the kind of vindictive focus I would expect from asshole Republicans.

And don't call our nation stupid. We aren't. Some of us made a huge mistake and we corrected it.
We are dumb as FUCK as a nation on the whole, and from your posts in this thread, you are fitting in quite well.
BUT WHY? And it does take things away from the new administration. They are now completely focused on fucking this retard. I bet he loves this.
You: "OMG if anyone even mentions trying to charge Trump or hold him accountable without EVERYTHING else in the fucking country being fixed first...I'm going to whine about it. For no reason."

Shut the fuck up, clown.

And don't call our nation stupid. We aren't. Some of us made a huge mistake and we corrected it. And opinion is increasingly trending toward "we made a mistake". We will make more mistakes and hopefully correct those too. I don't see an impeachment within the next 12 days as the only thing that can save us. This is getting pretty melodramatic. I want him gone too. He IS gone. I know people in my family and circle of friends that have died from this pandemic. You probably do too. If your focus is anything other than fixing that shit then how can you claim OTHER people are stupid. We are losing more than a 9/11 worth of lives EVERY DAY. If my politicians can't focus on that, then why did I vote for them?

Dude, I served this country, and took an oath to protect this country over 30 years ago. I earned my right to call the people of this nation stupid, specially when 75 Million of them voted AGAIN for Trump. I didn't say everyone was stupid, I just said don't under estimate the stupidity of the people of this nation. It's been on display for the last 4 years, more so the last 2 months, and Trump took advantage of that stupidity. And guess what, all them stupid people voted for him again, and then got sucked into the stupidity of his lies about the election. So calm your jets buddy, you took my comment way to personal. Unless the shoe fits, which is all on you!

And yes, pardon's are only at the Federal level, but DC is all federal. This means that all charges related to what took place on the 6th, will be at the federal level. There are no state level charges other than Misdemeanors and traffic violations that are prosecuted by the Attorney General of the District of Columbia. All other's are federal. Now, there are other states such as NY that will be going after Trump at the state level when he is out of office. There is no way he can stop those charges. Only a governor can pardon him for state level crimes within that state.

I kind of think they are mutually exclusive or else I would have said "por que no los dos?" and everyone would have cheered. Impeachment takes MASSIVE amounts of attention and energy. From politicians, media, citizens. And for what? To screw the other side a couple days early? I want my dudes to be looking out for me before screwing the other team. You can still do both. I just don't see a downside to waiting on the revenge thing. I want my politicians to start by showing me they give more of a shit about me than they give about fucking the other team. START with that. Do both. But START with that.

It's not about "screwing the other side early." It's about doing what the constitution requires. You don't just handwave away sworn duties because it appears inconvenient in the near term. And from what I read, POTUS under impeachment-so, while Congress has voted and process of evidence gathering begins, which will effectively begin on Monday at the latest, I believe--handcuffs him. He can't issue pardons, for one. IT strips him of important powers that, as you know the cornered rat that he is, would abuse to fullest extent, damning all consequences and putting this country in further peril.

Impeaching Trump now is doing what this country utterly failed to do with Nixon. Pardoning that rat bastard was fucking wrong. If we don't hold the POTUS to the restrictions that our constitution demands that we hold POTUS, then we aren't the fucking USA.

40% of our nation believes in creation and/or that evolution is either debatable, or actually a lie.

yes, we are a stupid fucking nation if almost half of us refuse to accept an unambiguous Natural Law.

Shut the fuck up, clown.

I would like our team to focus on what WE need most immediately. I hope that Trump is held accountable. He has been a disaster. Damage has been done that might NEVER be fixed. There are more immediate needs that punishing him and it's like you can't look past your need for revenge.

I once saw a mom with 2 kids playing at the park. The older boy pushed the other one off the slide and the younger boy got hurt and was crying. Instead of helping the younger boy, the mom spent her time berating the older boy. I asked her if the little boy was OK and her response was very similar to yours: some kind of a "Shut the fuck up, clown" response. She was more immediately intent on punishing big boy than helping small boy. Yes, she can do both but damn...the little kid is hurting. WE are all hurting. I doesn't make someone an asshole or clown to want their government to come to my aid before fighting their fights.

Two days ago would you have predicted an armed mob would storm the capitol?
Remember, 'armed' doesn't only mean firearms. Many came with bats, clubs, pipes, chemical agents, etc. and other picked things up after they were there. I've seen it said the office was beaten with a fire extinguisher. Used that way is definitely a weapon or form of 'arms'.

Is armed just the posh way to say violent?
I think it loses an important meaning in the translation.

At best I think it means we get Republicans on record, again.
That's it. Could be helpful in 2022.

@Greenman How about this little boy scout rally:

But at least they weren't called pigs, right?
My boy's would have had plan, a defined objective, an exit strategy, and a fall back position. Those bumpkins wandered in without a clue of what they wanted, other than posing for pictures that see them arrested and charged a few days later.
Stupid and destructive, dangerous to themselves and others, but by no means a coherent force with a goal.

Of course they had a goal and they clearly stated it: they wanted to overthrow our republic.

The impeach Trump process must take place regardless of how or when. Regardless of before January 20 or after January 20. The goal is to block Donald Trump from ever becoming president ever again. That would take an impeachment and that process can take place at any time. Yes, even after Trump is gone. And that is a reasonable and necessary process to stop the antics of future Donald Trump. THAT, or hanging by the neck until dead. And sadly, hanging in the public square went away a long time ago. Sadly.....

If Mitch fails to act or refuses to call a vote and the Orange Turd causes something else, could Mitch be held criminally liable?

I don't know about criminal. But if anything else happens it is squarely at the feet of Pence and Mitch.

Is that number higher or lower than it was 10 years ago? We are trending in the right direction. There is lots of work to be done but to call a whole nation stupid for what a minority think/do/believe doesn't seem right.

When the fucking Drudge Report has a countdown timer for the hours this jackass has left and runs headlines about Trump being crazy, unliked, and opposed, it is a good sign that things are getting better. There's no need to insult us as a collective.

Hurrah for nonsense crying children anecdotes. Will no one think of the neglected crying children if you impeach Trump?

You keep getting more creative defending Trump from impeachment.

Impeaching Trump is NOT going to take away from anything, because the Democratic party (Mommy in your horrible anecdote) is NOT one person that can only do one thing at a time.

The party and staffers, can work simultaneously, some on impeaching Trump, and some on getting policy change ready for when they do take office. They have the spare people to handle this "overload".

This is almost certainly going be the fastest track impeachment on record, so it will also take very little calendar time.

A lot of the goals may be accomplished before Biden even takes office. Taking ZERO away from Biden's administration.

It's not revenge. Do we need to explain what actual revenge is?

It's some small measure justice. It's also putting it on the record. It's also getting his supporters on record supporting his insurrection if/when some of them keep supporting him when called to vote.

Yes, that could be helpful. I am just questioning whether or not our resources could be better spent on things more helpful and more immediate. That's all. I could be wrong. Either way, I think this asshole ends up in jail. If he doesn't, then our leaders have let us down big time.

It seems like maybe everyone here is thriving during covid. I, my family, and many friends are not. We want Asshole in jail, but we want vaccines first. We want relief. I am sick of hearing about impeaching a guy that has like 10 days left before he's gone because "we get Republicans on record, again". They are already on fucking record. I don't even give a single shit about making Republicans take a 10th or 20th stand as if none of us understands or can comprehend who they are. We already know who they are.

Wow, it's like you totally get me. My point was about crying kids and not at all about prioritizing hurting Americans over impeaching a guy who is already gone in order to get Republicans on record to score political points and show the world how the other side is bad. Let's crap on the bad guy before helping the person he hurt. Even if the bad guy is about to become powerless to hurt anyone ever again.

There was just a coup attempted against our nation. We must punish and prevent swiftly. This is far more important than giving $2000 to millions of people that never lost their jobs.

If we fail to punish, it will happen again.

They tactically broke police lines and got around locked and baracaded doors. And made it to the chambers while congress was still in them. They knew how to enter and where to go.

That door it took 50 cops to protect was going to the Senate chamber with the VP in it, while they yelled "hang Pence." This building has a police force the size of Boston PD. You are either delusional or a sympathizer.

He’ll Be impeached in the House by Tuesday, that’s before Biden even takes office. The Senate will wait until after the 20th ONLY because of Mitch. Impeaching him is necessary to prevent him from running again and to send a message to those like him.
