The Senate voted Tuesday to move ahead with the unprecedented impeachment trial of former President Trump after listening to hours of arguments on whether it is constitutional to try a president who is already out of office.

The vote was 56-44.

Trump's legal team said the trial is unconstitutional because he's no longer in office and can't face removal, which is the standard judgment of an impeachment conviction.

Difficult to tell any more whether this is overwrought hyperbole, someone’s genuine perception or a North Korean bot account..

President Trump was not acquitted on the first impeachment since the trial never took place. It’s more like the trial was cancelled and the charges dropped.

They will schedule a vote and then a crowd of Antifa/BLM protestors will prevent 25 Republican Senators from entering the Senate chamber at which point 50 Democrat votes will be sufficient to convict.

If Chief Justice Roberts is gone, who will Biden appoint as Chief Justice? Stacy Abrams?

Bill Cassidy is a greenie... He must have a lot of money invested in Chinese solar panels.. That would explain his animosity toward PDJT..

The Supreme Court has to determine constitutionality. This is a sham trial, leading to many more in other areas. They’ve crossed the line and a soft coup is well under way.

I think I can resolve a HUGE miscommunication going on in America right now. All summer long the left burned down gov’t buildings and property, killed people, and looted businesses while the democrats called that a peaceful protest. So when President Trump called on his supporters to Peacefully Protest to the Capitol building the left thinks he called on them to Burn it down and kill the people inside. It all depends on what the word peaceful means.

Bill Cassidy? WTF is his problem?

Unfortunately he was just reelected. And with LA’s stupid jungle vote, democrats can reelect him again in 2026.

Looks like Trump will win, assuming GOP senators don’t attack.

BTW, here’s a chart of covid vaccines and which use aborted cells in either production or testing. There are a few that don’t.
