How Donald Trump's Second Impeachment Trial Will Be Different From His First
Newsweek ^ | 1/25/2021 | Alexandra Hutzler

Posted on 01/25/2021 3:55:30 PM PST by Onthebrink

Donald Trump made history in the days before his White House departure by becoming the only president to ever be impeached twice. Now, his upcoming trial in the Senate will be just as unprecedented.

While some of the constitutional practices about the trial—which will kick off the week of February 8—will remain the same, many aspects of the process will look different from his first impeachment.

I was thinking about when they impeach him again after we reelect him in 2024.

“They are presenting the ‘articles’ now; and they keep referring to Trump as ‘The President of the United States’.”

Trump is president.

Biden did not win. Cheating does not count.

If Roberts won’t fulfill his constitutional requirement due to Trump not being a sitting President, why is Trump going to show up? Equal rights.

My point is that they seem to be admitting that.

Democrats seem to be caught in some weird sort of time warp ;-)

I really want to see him on the debate stage with Mitt Romney and Christ Christie and Jeb Bush. I want them to know how well and truly screwed they are.

I am Donald Trump.

and there are 75 million other Donald Trumps.

They’ll never keep Donald from running again.

They are wasting their time.

“My point is that they seem to be admitting that.”

Mine too.

“Democrats seem to be caught in some weird sort of time warp ;-)”

Yes.

It is totalitarian dissociation. Nothing is real in a totalitarian state except state power. Anything can be anything and any structure forced on any event or set of facts.

There is not and CANNOT Constitutionally BE an impeachment trial of a private citizen. It cannot happen, nor should the country be dragged through yet another demonrat WASTE of American’s money presenting their specious false crap as their “agenda” as they screw the public out of even more money to line their empty coffers of party kickback money.

If they pursue it— here’s hoping DJT brings ALL the evidence that supported the contents of his speech (which had Nothing in it talking about rioting, or incitment, but which had line by line state by state factual shorthand of the Electoral Fraud).This will require actual evidence in support of the speech’s contents— and thus enter into the Public Record the criminal actions of the party putting our President on trial. Criminal Treason is what they have done— and they should be made to grovel in it. Inescapable.

In their guts, they KNOW DJT is the REAL president and therefore impeachable.
After they vote to impeach, they will announce that fact and then say “HA HA,we got him !”

EEEVIL scum, all of them !!!!

One thing did not change - this article of impeachment is as devoid of any actionable criminal conduct as all the previous ones.

Chuck Schumer even called this article of impeachment what it is - “incitement to erection”. I do not believe that was a misstatement. Chuck sure must have felt stirrings.

The United states, as it is today, is an insult to the United states.

The flags that I fly are all antiques now. Flags of defunct nations.

Nothing short of a total revolution is going to fix this, and many current residents of this new U.S.A. need to start their own little circus.

Not true, they voted on it, 10 Rebublicans went with the traitors and voted to impeach. The President was impeached.

The United States is NOT the temporal government that happens to be in power at any moment.

And revolution can take many forms. It took one in 2016, and a similar one in 2020.

Have a little faith, instead of - as you appear to me to be doing - inciting people to go out and get themselves killed.

He wasn’t impeached twice before leaving office.

Yeah, he was. "Impeached" means the House voted to Impeach. That happened twice while he was in office.

He was acquitted in the Senate the first time, and unless a lot of RINO spines turn to Jell-O, he will be acquitted a second time.
