‘Democrats Are In A Box’: Graham Says Pelosi’s Impeachment Push Is Backfiring In Senate

[OldFlame]

What's "spineless" about being a Team Player and sticking up for your President.

He’s not your president.

He’s your former president.

Exactly, Trump is no longer a threat, leftists own the government now, quit whining about Trump already.

 

[Natural Citizen]

No, Rand Paul just proved that 45 Republican Senators are chicken shit spineless weenies who will not vote their conscience out of abject fear of Trump scum.

The Republican Senators know very well that a post-Presidential impeachment is perfectly Constitutional, but they're too scared to vote against the orange Führer.

It only justifies Schumer & the Dems making the impeachment vote a secret ballot.

Hmmmm...

....lemme think.......uh...nope, ain't happening.

 

[Skylar]

Wrong.
Democrats are checking off boxes:

House Check that box
Senate. Check that box
Oval Office. Check that box

The issue is really the House in 22. AOC and defund the police cost them most of the moderate seats they picked up in 18. But Trump's insurrection cannot have been popular. imo Biden is correct that if the dems respond to covid by improving things, then they should be ok.

The entire impeachment thing is batshit stupid on the part of the democrats. They operate under the absolutist view that everything is just as important as everything else. Politically...it isn't.

It might not be as dumb as you think. They can bar Trump from future office with a simple majority vote in the Senate impeachment trial.

You just beat him by 'millions of votes', so why are you worried about him running in the future?? Trump is gone, maybe you should concern yourself with what your leaders are currently doing, destroying thousands of union jobs and the US energy sector?

Its a mistake the Democrats are making. I want Trump to be around forever dividing the GOP into smaller and smaller pieces.

I hope you get your wish, I don't want there to be any possible entity to blame when this country goes down in flames with leftists completely and totally in control at the helm.

Didn't you guys predict a Trump re-election?

You may want to swap out the Magic 8 ball you're using to predict the future. The one you're using appears to be broken.

Who are 'you guys', I didn't predict anything. I'm glad the leftists own the federal government, all three branches, no one to blame for your failures, Trump is gone now. 'You guys' really need to move on, this is what you wanted, support or defend everything your corrupt party does over the next several years.

And Trump will be tried in the senate at his impeachment trial for what he did in office. When that's finished, then its up to the justice department and the local state prosecutors to see if he violated any laws before, during or after his time in office.

Exactly, Trump is no longer a threat, leftists own the government now, quit whining about Trump already.

What’s to stop him from starting another riot?

 

[Skylar]

How so?

The impeachment trial is still scheduled. And the dems need a simple majority to enact the only penalty that impeachment trial conviction can practically result in for Trump.

Ain't happening, bro. Take it to the bank.

Says you and your magic 8 ball.

And when the impeachment trial does happen.....what then?

You left loons will be left looking stupid again

Over and over and over.....

Or...you're just awful at predicting the future.

Why didn't Trump get the wall built?

 

[Polishprince]

Rand Paul killed any chance of an impeachment trial.

It's dead on arrival.

Somebody's gotta lead, after all.

Gosh darned gangster...

No, Rand Paul just proved that 45 Republican Senators are chicken shit spineless weenies who will not vote their conscience out of abject fear of Trump scum.

A secret ballot would be an acquittal for sure. The entire Republican caucus would be blamed and abandoned by the voters if the Fake Impeachment went through

 

[Richard-H]

While the spineless Republican Senators try to hide behind the FALSE narrative that this impeachment is unconstitutional, all Schumer needs to do is pass a rule that the final vote will be done by secret ballot, and then Trump is screwed.

Ohhhh secret ballot.....a great Gestapo tactic there America hater.

Hey, nothing could go wrong with a secret ballot, right? Just pick the number of yes votes and no votes you want an no one is the wiser. As long as you don't make the total unanimous one way or the other, everyone will think they were either part of the majority or minority and life goes on. The only way that fails is if the vote is truly unanimous, but that won't happen in this case.

The ballots could be witnessed by the Senate Republican leadership when they're counted. Everyone one of them can be held as proof of the validity of the count.

It's not the way it works.

Did you email Schumer with your idiotic plan?

Secret ballots have been discussed by the Senate the last time Trump was impeached. Nothing new here:

Capitol Violence Sparks Discussion Of Secret, Safer Impeachment Trial Vote | HuffPost

This would be a horrible solution. There should never be "secret" votes in Congress. The people should always know how their rep voted.

Unless the Senators are acting as jurors and under threat.

Like any other jurors they need protection.

In the case of this impeachment they are not voting on policies or political issues or on a Senate bill, they are voting as jurors in a CRIMINAL CASE.

They must be free from political repercussions and from threats of violence so that they can vote their conscience.

AWWW CUTE!! Did he clutch his pearls?

Wrong.
Democrats are checking off boxes:

House Check that box
Senate. Check that box
Oval Office. Check that box

The issue is really the House in 22. AOC and defund the police cost them most of the moderate seats they picked up in 18. But Trump's insurrection cannot have been popular. imo Biden is correct that if the dems respond to covid by improving things, then they should be ok.

The entire impeachment thing is batshit stupid on the part of the democrats. They operate under the absolutist view that everything is just as important as everything else. Politically...it isn't.

It might not be as dumb as you think. They can bar Trump from future office with a simple majority vote in the Senate impeachment trial.

You just beat him by 'millions of votes', so why are you worried about him running in the future?? Trump is gone, maybe you should concern yourself with what your leaders are currently doing, destroying thousands of union jobs and the US energy sector?

Its a mistake the Democrats are making. I want Trump to be around forever dividing the GOP into smaller and smaller pieces.

I hope you get your wish, I don't want there to be any possible entity to blame when this country goes down in flames with leftists completely and totally in control at the helm.

Didn't you guys predict a Trump re-election?

You may want to swap out the Magic 8 ball you're using to predict the future. The one you're using appears to be broken.

Who are 'you guys', I didn't predict anything. I'm glad the leftists own the federal government, all three branches, no one to blame for your failures, Trump is gone now. 'You guys' really need to move on, this is what you wanted, support or defend everything your corrupt party does over the next several years.

And Trump will be tried in the senate at his impeachment trial for what he did in office. When that's finished, then its up to the justice department and the local state prosecutors to see if he violated any laws before, during or after his time in office.
