McConnell's vote would open the door to the possibility that Trump could be convicted and prohibited from running for president again.

Just for fun, he could move to Alcee Hastings' district in Flordia and run against him. THEN what would they say?

Considering how little law has mattered in this election cycle, do you think they care?

Getting your enemies to destroy each other is the best way to weaken the opposition. The Democrats would love it if right-wingers split off to form a third party. It was thanks to Perot that Slick Willy beat two bona fide no BS WWII heroes, one after another. Thanks to Perot, we almost got Obamacare 2 decades early.

I’m guessing Mitch is feeling threatened.

It’s bogus. Mcconnell already said that a trial cannot be held until 1 hour after Trump vacates the office. Dershowitz has said you cannot impeach a private citizen.

This is disinformation meant to give cover for the House to vote for the Article.

This is the last gasp of Trump hate by the media. They’ve whipped themselves into a final rage. That the story is total garbage is irrelevant to these people. They’re not reporters. They never were.

The GOP is dead, they just don’t know it yet.

The jobs of the GOP fluffers around here just got damn near impossible.

The 19th is the first day back in session which is the earliest the Senate can receive the Article. Then, by Senate rule, a trial cannot start until 1:00 p.m. the NEXT day. In this case, 1 hour after Trump becomes ex-president.

At this point I don’t think the Senate vote will happen. Just saying, if it did, they would remove Pres. Trump from office. We have a week to go.
Even Supreme Ct justices do what they’re told now. So would senators.
Nevertheless, I don’t think they will manage to impeach with just 7 days to do so.
And I don’t think they’re afraid he’ll run in ‘24. They now know they can rig an election.

“I’m guessing Mitch is feeling threatened.”

Maybe he’s threatened with losing the Chinese kickbacks that bring him millions of dollars.

Or sometimes an asshole is just an asshole, like cigars.

MITCH McCONNELL...said this story is NOT TRUE...

It began in the NY Times...and we all know what a FAIRY-TALE THAT RAG IS...
And then other news outlets pick up the bull shit...

GET OVER IT...THIS ELECTION IS DONE, DJT WILL LEAVE PEACEFULLY, AND HIS FOLLOWERS WILL REMAIN HIS FOLLOWERS...

I don't believe DJT will put his family thru this ever again, and he will not run in 2024, but he will destroy everyone who went after him and they will be the losers...

As for this family of five...we are all now registered as INDEPENDENTS...we will never vote for a democrat, nor will we ever vote for a RINO...
Time for a new Political Party...

We have to support the Republican Party or the Democrat Party will get us! /sarc

The GOP hates its base, time to return the favor. The GOP must die.

I would go as far to say, perhaps the best way forward is to infiltrate the Democrats.

Hell knows, they’ve been doing it to the GOP for years.

Can you provide a link to where McConnell denied the story?
