foleskay: The House impeachment today, is just officially accusing Trump of the charges layout in the Article of Impeachment. Trump need to be tried in the Senate on those charges, where 67 votes are needed to convict him, though not very likely, no US President has ever been convicted in the Senate after House Impeachment. The Senate can further vote to strip Trump off some retirement benefits, put restrictions on him, etc....these also are very unlikely but requires just simple majority vote. They can also vote to refer him to DOJ for prosecution, which is not likely. 1 Like |

foleskay:y (WSIL) — Wednesday, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Kentucky) said he wouldn’t call an emergency session for a Senate impeachment trial for President Donald Trump. He issued a statement Wednesday afternoon: “The House of Representatives has voted to impeach the President. The Senate process will now begin at our first regular meeting following receipt of the article from the House. “Given the rules, procedures, and Senate precedents that govern presidential impeachment trials, there is simply no chance that a fair or serious trial could conclude before President-elect Biden is sworn in next week. The Senate has held three presidential impeachment trials. They have lasted 83 days, 37 days, and 21 days respectively. “Even if the Senate process were to begin this week and move promptly, no final verdict would be reached until after President Trump had left office. This is not a decision I am making; it is a fact. The President-elect himself stated last week that his inauguration on January 20 is the ‘quickest’ path for any change in the occupant of the presidency. “In light of this reality, I believe it will best serve our nation if Congress and the executive branch spend the next seven days completely focused on facilitating a safe inauguration and an orderly transfer of power to the incoming Biden Administration. I am grateful to the offices and institutions within the Capitol that are working around the clock, alongside federal and local law enforcement, to prepare for a safe and successful inauguration at the Capitol next Wednesday.” |

AmazonTopaz: 1. You're a slowpoke. Investigation into Biden crimes is still ongoing by the DOJ and a federal special council. It hasn't been concluded like you say. https://edition.cnn.com/2020/12/09/politics/hunter-biden-tax-investigtation/index.html https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/10/us/politics/hunter-biden-investigation.html 2. Biden was implicated in emails found on his sons laptop for profiting from corrupt deals with chinese businesses. That's why I asked you to Google the phrase "50% for the big guy" which of course you did not. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8849687/Hunter-Biden-emails-identify-Joe-Biden-deal-Chinese-energy-firm-report-says.html 3. Biden can literally not pass his agenda without a good number of republicans voting with him. Very few laws in American politics can be passed with a simple majority which is why the dems could not remove Trump despite two impeachments. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filibuster_in_the_United_States_Senate#:~:text=Filibuster%20is%20a%20tactic%20used,extending%20debate%20on%20the%20measure. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

foleskay:Maybe and also the fact that once a trial starts, every other activity of the Senate is put on hold. Even Biden don't want that as the Senate needs to screen his appointees as well as COVID-19 relief et al. Biden is appealing to the Senate to bifurcate but the probability of that is slim. Again, saving some time will help douse some tension. |

Well it is seen as a welcome effort by Democrats. Trump has always been at logger heads with his own party members right when he decided to contest. Those that support him, hated him then. The pain has always been that his family had never held a public office and he is considered an outsider until he won back in 2016. If it is inciting violence, I don't totally agree. He made some statements like'' Fight like hell" ,"The Election was Rigged and hijacked by the radical left" and many more. This not new back in 2017, Nancy Pelosi said" The Election was Rigged and hijacked and we are going to fight for the people of America" During the BLM protest that lasted for 4 months, shops were burnt, stations were burnt worth over 4billion dollars and the protest were funded by the Democrats. Nancy did not condemn neither did Chuck a and Abrams. They forgot about covid?. During Nancy's for re-election as speaker, a Dem who has not recovered from covid travelled to vote. Impeaching Trump fuels more hatred and Pence warned about it. The divide is too much and Dems caused it by fueling hate for 4 years. Now the Big Tech is on their side and censor what they don't want you to see. George Orwell's words " WAR IS PEACE" "IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH" 1 Like |

slyfoxxjoe:You are the slowpoke you were silly to say that he will be impeached and claimed that Hunter had been found guilty so shut up he has not and I knew he was under investigation the senate committe had one on him last year and nothing came out. What laptop and what emails so why wasn't he charged or declared under investigation what exact law did he or his son break. Also shut up Biden has the congress and they will do what they can anyother thing to be done will be enforced with executive order in 2022 the dems expand their majority and do more. So get lost you slowpoke and stop wishful thinking or delusion that will go nowhere 2 Likes |

emmadeking: We can move forward now, we are on the same page that the House are in charge of their own timeline and timetable and can chose how long an impeachment can take base on their passed rules. Go listen to Mitch comments, the Republicans are more afraid of Trump in 2024. Mitch stated, he believes the impeachment will help to rid Trump from the party and he welcome it, but has not decided how he will vote. It is ironic you think, it is the Democrats who are afraid of Trump come 2024. They defeated him on Nov 3 during the General Elections, and also on January 5th, where they took the two Senate seats in Georgia. Many Republicans are afraid of getting primaried hence their vote in the House today. I truly don’t think this think have fully played out. The Republican Party is currently searching for a leader and a direction. They have start asking to remove those who voted to impeach Trump from House committee seats. Also, depending on how this shakes out, Trump might even leave the party and form a new one. I truly doubt if Trump will run in 2024, if he does there are many Republicans who are mad that he incited his supporters to go to the Capito and many will not vote for him. |

foleskay:No sir. Convicting him at the senate simply means the senate agrees with the house of reps that Trump deserves to be impeached, hence he loses the privileges accrued to an ex-president and he can't hold any public office in future |

slyfoxxjoe: U are not considering one big factor....the demography of america is changing and descendants of immigrants will likely vote a party that will secure their existence in usa... If republican continue to pursue white supremacy rhetoric, they are in for a tough time in the future. Whites are just 60% of American population....they now had to add Hispanics to boost their numbers to 73% n we know Latinos don't like whites. Already, states with strong immigrants population are becoming democrats strong hold. Only the rust belts n it's bitter poor whites population will be left for republicans. 1 Like 1 Share |

Its good there's a change in government, it will give Americans the chance to compare and contrast and chose their next leader come 2024. Let's enjoy the next four years and hopefully the main stream media will constructively criticize the next government as much as Trump's was criticized. Though skeptical. |

Tolexander: the US Senate is currently on recess to reconvene 19/01 while inauguration is 20/01. Hence no time to remove trump. It remains to be seen whether the Senate will reconvene under a matter of natl emergency to try/remove Trump. Remember that they'll need for a 2/3 majority to remove him, unlike a simple majority needed to impeach at the lower house. This'll only be possible if the Republican party decides to discard trump. Which they can do honorably by asking him to resign than allowing Democrats to remove him. just like in d case of Nixon. And I personally don't think there's anyone or persons amongst Republicans with d needed clout n support base to remove trump at the moment. Another option, is for Pelosi to delay transmitting the trial till after inauguration. By then Democrats will have taken control of the Senate. So he'll tried in absentia and if removed, will be barred completely from contesting any political post in d US forever. But this will further divide the nation, which biden desperately needs to unite. And distract the Congress from concentrating on important task 1) of salvaging an economy on recession 2) repairing a foreign battered image 3) approving a badly needed covid-19 stimulus package for businesses, individuals n families 4) approving Biden's nominees to kickstart the administration 5) regulating the needed drugs, vaccines n interventions to manage a country ridiculously ravaged by covid. So in all, it'll be really a herculean mission to remove trump from office. But though still possible. |
