Impeach!

In the Senate the number of GOP that vote to impeach would be the equivalent of 1/2 of 1 person.

I'm glad that the (2nd) greatest deliberative body in the world took two hours to discuss this!

ETA: I'm not saying it was, or was not, justified. However, the rushed push for impeachment, with no discussion, no evidence, etc reeks of nothing but partisanship and hatred.

What, other than preventing the unlikely possibility of him holding federal office again (and, c'mon, how likely was that?) what is the point of this exercise other than being a demonstration of a temper tantrum?

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.

"They were talking about impeaching him before he was even sworn in, which tells you a lot about the seriousness of this stuff."

Sure. None of the other impeachments got a single vote from the President’s party.

We all witnessed it. Every one of us.

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.

And this is how you remove a president? No deliberation, no evidence, no discussion?

Just do it!

This is dangerous territory.

[jon-nyc]

@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.

The first impeachment has nothing to do with the second. That's how the rule of law works.
