The public didn’t revolt when Congress sent the good jobs to Chyna.

And it won’t revolt, not even civil disobedience, if Trump is not removed, no matter how unfair the process.

And any revolution if Trump is removed will be met with swift and overwhelming force of violence by the government.

The revolution following the DoI in 1776 was hard fought against an enemy with a long supply chain. The enemy now is pretty much the whole government. There will not be a revolution.

they should just table it and then ask the House where the budget, MexCanAm treaty, rx legislation and half a dozen other items are?

The US military is a monster when sent against foreign targets. It is spectacularly weak and inadequate for direct operations against the American people. They would be in -way- over their heads.

Iraq is about 2/3 the size of Texas. Just saying...

Jones is a lunatic leftist. He knows he’s done next year. I doubt he would vote against the party line. He’s angling for a future Dem job somewhere.

Manchin still wants to be Governor of West Virginia. He is politically done in West Virginia if he votes for removal.

The only other Democrat that I think might vote against the party line is Kyrsten Sinema. She’s a lunatic leftist, but she also knows that she’s representing Arizona and has to walk a very fine line politically.

“If Lindsey Graham had any balls he would acquit Trump right on the spot, no trial no nothing..just end the BS and move on“

And deny the Dems a trip through Cocaine Mitch’s little house of horrors? I think not :D

“If Republicans abandon President Trump I will never, ever vote again...period!”

If President Trump is tossed from office, I don’t think you will have to worry about voting again. At least in this iteration of the nation...

Just more proof that Senators shouldn’t be voted in by the people. In the past there is simply no way senator from WV or Al would be voting to impeach Trump. As it stands it’s almost a sure thing they do.

The senate, democrats and the state media will now begin talking secret ballots - mark my words. If they get secret ballots, I expect Trump to be found guilty

If not stopped in Senate it’s going to be stopped in the streets

If that happens, I predict the fuse will be lit. A short fuse.

I’m not concerned about the Senate.

The likelihood of an overwhelming defeat in the Senate can’t be a surprise to Pelosi. She must have an agenda that accepts that as probable. Is it just to be able to use “impeached” President in the campaign or is there something she knows that we haven’t thought of?

I do believe she will retire after her term is up. Given the probability that the Senate will deep six the impeachment bid, I don’t think that an old woman would accept just being a Rep. again.

I agree that there will not be a Senate trial, for whatever technical reason. When does the House vote on this?

Mitt will not vote to acquit if he abstains we’ll be lucky. The rats desperately Want a bipartisan vote to convict.
********************************
I doubt that it will even make its way to the Senate. But, if it does, there will be a bipartisan vote TO ACQUIT!

Kyrsten Sinema will vote no as well.
****************************
I agree. She’s turning out to be quite the politician. She’ll be easily re-elected in 2024.

If only McSally had half the charm that Sinema has.

Schiff, Biden, Hunter, Obama, they will all refuse to testify

Biden would challenge Mitch to a push-up contest...,and then cheat. ;-)
