Impeach!

partisanship
Yes, everything against Trump is partisanship.
5% is now being pumped all over the media as historic bipartisanship. Explain that to me please. Seriously.

It is. Partisanship is a huge issue.
My point was that a democrat voting for impeachment is not necessarily due to partisanship.
I agree, I would have been much more supportive if not for the first impeachment.

Sure. None of the other impeachments got a single vote from the President’s party.
Okay. I was just thinking how much it would fail by in the Senate if the percentages held. Kind of like historic but set to fail big time in the Senate. That would be a complete sentence.

Of the four impeachments we’ve had in our history, this is the only one that will age well.

However, the rushed push for impeachment, with no discussion, no evidence, etc reeks of nothing but partisanship and hatred.
We all witnessed it. Every one of us.
And this is how you remove a president? No deliberation, no evidence, no discussion?
Just do it!
This is dangerous territory.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

@george-k Removal occurs or doesn’t, in the Senate. And there’s a trial.
This is an indictment in a sense. If the entire grand jury are among your victims, it won’t take long for them to agree to move forward with charges.

Like "coup attempt" dangerous?

(paraphrasing)I agree about the first impeachment, not the second.
A rock wasn't thrown through the Capitol window. A mob was shouting to hang Mike Pence. They tried to trample cops to death. They brought homemade napalm and molotov cocktails to the nation's capital. Pipe bombs were planted at DNC and RNC. They came and did these things because Trump egged them on. He said he loved these people.
Please love yourself.

See, that's sort of my point. From a purely legal standpoint, that's pretty thin gruel. He never said, "you should do this," and that's the legal standard for inciting violence.
But, we're talking political, not legal, and that's my point. Anyone can, and will, mark my words, drum up an exta-legal, political reason to impeach a president.
Again, other than the symbolism, what's the point? What will be accomplished other than a (cheap) moral victory? At what cost to political behavior going forward?

They went easy on Hitler after his attempt to flip the government and look what happened.
And Trump is no longer president in 7 days. Who's going easy on him?
I really don't see your point. Are you suggesting that he will take the presidency in the future?
And you went full Godwin. Never go full Godwin.
