Yes. Newsweek is a joke. But so is GOPe in the senate.

Here is what the article says:

... this assumes that the forces now in motion continue on their same trajectory and result in an impeachment vote. They are: the investigations into the Trump campaign; evidence of weakness in the Republican base ; historical trends indicating a possible Democratic takeover in the House; and, last but not least, defiance in the Senate.

Well in the first place, the evidence is of increased pi$$edoffedness of the Trump base - it's not the Republican base - who are ready to rise up with pitchforks and boiling tar to run the GOP out of town.

And they keep trying on that defiance in the Senate and the result is the above observation. Suddenly, today, I am not hearing a lot of noise from some of our usual channels.

Have these morons read the Constitution?

The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments. When sitting for that Purpose, they shall be on Oath or Affirmation. When the President of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice shall preside: And no Person shall be convicted without the Concurrence of two thirds of the Members present.

Any republican who is not present would be lucky to be merely voted out of office. Do they really think there are already nine republicans who would vote for impeachment and that six more may join them - without even a criminal charge? I pray that we can avoid a second civil war, but atheist agitators from the Ctrl-Left are working to keep my prayers from coming true.

Everyone thinks there will be blood in the streets if they do it.

I’m gonna go out on a limb and say not a damn thing will happen.

Americans have let these people kill 50 million innocent children, Americans have allowed them to steal our money and give it to terrorists all over the world, Americans have let them flood our country with illegal immigrants and third world diseases. Not once have we taken to the streets after all the evil our government has perpetrated on us.

1. The Senate doesn't impeach. Only the House does.

2. The Senate tries the impeachment and requires two thirds of the members present to vote to convict. And the count is a lot further than six away even if you count McCain and his Mini-me as a vote and a half in favor of conviction.

Nothing to worry about. All these RINO clowns are afraid of their own shadows, and everything else that goes booo! Trump has them measured.

The article said 2019. THat implies the Republicans will ask us to give them an even greater majority so they can turn on him after the 2018 election.

This has to be a joke - the last copy of Newsweek was printed in 1974.

Don't get ahead of yourself NewsWeak.

First, there has to be some charge against Trump. You know, "high crimes and misdemeanors"?

Second, after a crime has been established, there has to be a 2/3 vote to impeach in the House. This is like an indictment.

Then, the Senate votes to CONVICT. They don't IMPEACH.

The headline is factually inaccurate.

Well in a way it is a joke because the Senate doesn’t impeach.

Moreover the logic in the piece is that any Senator who has ever voiced disagreement with President Trump on anything apparently rises to the level of them also wanting to vote for conviction and removal from office on high crimes and misdemeanors.
