welp, they gave Donnie and pence the weekend to do something...and they didn't do squat (I heard Donnie sent out a vid via Parler tho)

So sounds like Nancy is going to present them today

The video on Parler that supposedly is from Trump is very clearly not. It is a fan-edited mashup of his past speeches and is clearly watermarked with the name of the video editing dude who made it.

Article of impeachment accuses President Trump of “incitement of insurrection” for last week’s riot at the U.S. Capitol, according to a draft obtained by AP.

dang...that's a pretty damning stain on his legacy

The problem is...they don't have one

 House Republican leaders will not whip their colleagues to vote against the impeachment resolution tomorrow, according to leadership aides. They will let members “vote their conscience”, as @RepLizCheney  told colleagues.

Doesn't matter - it's 50+1 in the House.  If the Dems can't get that many on their own, this country has bigger problems.

true...conscience is not required to hold office

but are you saying there are only 50 votes in the house?


we just picked up a single  Republican
Rep. John Katko will vote to impeach President Trump. He's the first GOP House member to publicly back impeachment.

I thought Kinzinger was on the record

I thought Kinzinger was on the record
my understanding is he called for the 25th to be invoked...not explicitly saying he was for impeachment

whatever, we don't need any GOP in the house...we need 17 senators!

I still don't understand Smakies response


McConnell is said to be pleased about impeachment...what ever that means

Sorry, 50% of the vote, plus one, or anything over 50%.  With a majority of the house under Democratic control, that shouldn't be a problem.

Ugh means he knows Trump tried to get him killed, knows Trump cost him his job,  loathes Trump and wants to cut bait

Anymore questions?

Liz Cheney will also vote to impeach


Of course democrats don’t need Republicans in the House but it makes an important statement and also signals to Senate Republicans that impeachment can be bipartisan... gives Senators a bit of cover: it’s not just democrats

I believe Liz Cheney is also part of Republican House leadership

We may not get there in the senate but I think this is big

It’s not totally clear when senate would vote or if they would if he wasn’t in power any longer or if it’s constitutional


I say go step by step

At least he will be the first president impeached twice...
