Happening now: The House of Representatives convenes and debates the impeachment of President Trump. The House is set to vote later this evening.

Maybe we need a new amendment to make sure this never happens again. First time I’ve ever thought the Founders were short sighted.
I will not give one moment to this travesty and attempt to take away my vote.
They will not be punished. They will all be re-elected.
We are living in a dual country now. Leftists wholly support anything that weakens the rightists and will do anything to stop any resistance to them.
The Dems will lose a seat or three over impeachment but you are basically right. The most likely outcome of all this in November 2020 is exactly what he have now. A Dem House, Trump in the WH and a GOPe controlled Senate by a few votes. I expect the GOP will lose the Senate in 2022, though, without POTUS on the ticket to carry them.

Thank you.
Quinn and Rose (from an unnamed think tank) say, "hi".
No Gorganzola ....
I think he should hold the Senate in session and vote on it tonight a half hour after the House does their vote!
Ahhhhh, the cry in beer hand wringers are out in full force this morn.
They’ll lose a dozen seats minimum, you’ll see.
“If two or more persons in any State or Territory, or in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspire to overthrow, put down, OR to destroy by force the Government of the United States......SEDITIOUS CONSPIRACY”
Exactly what the President has said this is
“A FRIVOLOUS impeachment vote is a SEDITIOUS CONSPIRACY”
The Senate shouldn’t even take it up. Ignore it. What are the Dems gonna do? stamp their feet?
McConnell should throw a press conference..with a big trashcan present to throw the “articles” of impeachment into it
If McConnell had any balls, he would have the Senate address the charges and vote to acquit before Christmas Day.
Apparently the Dems are looking for something like that to postpone. If Mitch is likely to acquit in 2-3 days the narrative for the Dems is over and the new narrative is that they rushed to judgement to convict when there was no crime - bad set up for November.
and have a civil war inside their party lasting a decade. The wailing and gnashing will be a symphony.
Please, God, don’t let them bring on Napolitano.
I read on C-Span that the debate will take all day, with a 6:30 PM anticipated window for the final votes.
Trump needs to cross the Rubicon
Bet they won’t vote until tomorrow....the same date (Dec 19th) that Bubba was impeached.
“They will not be punished. They will all be re-elected.
The criminals will not be punished. The criminals will all be re-elected by criminals...
I don’t agree splitting is the answer.
People NEVER agree. You can put two people in a room and sooner or later they will find something to disagree about. Unless you plan on being the only member of your new country, you will find someone opposed to you someday. To create a totally “unified” country would require an totalitarian government to keep everyone on the same page. How long until people tired of that?
You can’t continually split and subdivide and avoid problems. Better would be to teach them a lesson with a rebellious smackdown like Thomas Jefferson suggested.
Benedict Arnold is relieved...he is no longer the greatest traitor in American history! Hell...he isn’t even second, third, or fourth anymore!
Clyburn is addressing, “... this ‘AUgust’ body” not an “AuGUST” body. Does he not know we’re in December? Does he know the meaning of the word? I guess his writer didn’t note how the word is pronounced.
