BREAKING: Dems are encouraging GOP Never-Trumpers to exploit "loophole" in Senate impeachment clause whereby they wouldnt need 67 votes to remove but only 2/3 of "members present." If enough Never-Trumpers sit out trial, pretending to boycott it, they could remove Trump w/o actually voting.

I think Trump would just call a censure a “fake impeachment” (because they couldn’t deliver a real one).

But while I don’t think an impeachment would go anywhere, I do think it would trivialize the role of the House.

We need to make sure governors replace people with non RINOs.

That's why Brian Kemp is putting a Trump-hating leftist bitch in the Senate -- to be a solid vote to remove the POTUS, as both Schumer and McConell want.

Can you say “political suicide?”

The GOP doesn't care about majorities or ruling, they care about the TRILLIONS in graft they stand to lose with Trump as president. He MUST go.

“This is simply yet another FANTASY in a long line of unrealistic DemocRAT and Never-Trump waking wet dreams.”

Exactly. Everything we see the dims doing is running the gamut from stupid to batsh*t crazy because all they have is a big empty barrel of bad ideas and failed policies from which to choose. And a double barrel of reports coming their way.

Call your broker and buy popcorn stock.

Not what I meant.

End of the Republican Party is the end of the Country as we know it.

it would be incredibly damaging if he were simply impeached.

Or not...

Senators can still, i assume, succumb to their injuries. This doesn’t end politically if they remove Trump.

I assume you’ll be reading about the death of more than. A few Senators if this happens. Civil war isn’t “over there”

Leave it to the rats to come with a scheme to subvert the constitution to remove a sitting President. Notice they include having the never Trumpers pretend thay sitting out to protest the rats effort in order to give the rats what they want because that is the kind of deceit that is sop for them. What a wonderful thing it would be to rid the country of these corrosive little worms.

McConnell will be finished if this happens.
He maybe stupid and clueless but he’s not that stupid and clueless.

Since this is hypothetical, if such a scenario were to happen, I suspect a shooting war starts in earnest.

A stretch since it would take 30 Republicans to boycott in order to get the necessary 2/3rds. But even if 10 boycotted then at least the Democrats could claim a majority voted for impeachment and that could be an embarrassment to the president.

“Concessions” are not legally binding in any way.

Imagine what these Socialist/Commie Lite politicians would do IF they could remove our guns and ammo. They are screwing with a pissed off giant that is wide awake.

I agree with you.

People have VERY short memories.

They forget that it took just some 20 people to nearly bring this country to its knees during 911.

How many will this involve?
