Candid thoughts on impeachment: If the GOP found out Joe Biden pardoned someone and Hunter Biden got a mass pile of cash from that person in the last week of Biden's presidency, you're damn right they'd impeach and have a trial even if it couldn't conclude before Jan 20.

That Republican senators are hiding behind the constitutional argument is the only way they can justify getting through this because Trump can be impeached and convicted and yes he did provoke what happened.

It really wasn't a controversial or minority opinion up until a month ago that a sitting president, if impeached, could be tried after his term expired. There is precedent for impeaching others out of office who were impeached while in office.

Many of you jackasses denying Trump provoked this after two months of lying about the election and demanding people fight for him were 100% on board condemning @AOC for provoking an attack on an ICE facility with her concentration camp rhetoric.

Trump should be convicted and barred from office. BUT…

It is not going to happen. The GOP will hold the line because they talk about principle, but they're really not that principled. Spare me, neither are the Democrats. They'd be behaving the same way and you'll probably one day see it and deny it when it happens.

The GOP should do the right thing and they won't because they're more scared of Trump's voters than everyone else.

All your bile and rage at them should be, in part, directed at the Democrats who decided to engage in emotional theater instead of having a real trial.

Are they subpoenaing Mike Pence as a witness? Nope.
The bison helmeted jackass? Nope.
The police officers? Nope.
They're not having a trial and a year ago Chuck Schumer said not calling witnesses made it a sham.

This is Chuck Schumer's sham.

The bottom line is this: Donald Trump spent two months lying and provoked an angry mob that stormed the Capitol on his behalf with some looking to execute his Vice President. He should be barred from running for office again.

But the GOP won't vote for it out of fear and the Democrats won't actually hold a trial that might persuade them to change their minds because they'd rather use this as a political issue with a helpful media.

If you really cared about this issue, you wouldn't be calling Republicans and demanding they vote to convict. You'd be calling Chuck Schumer and demanding they summon witnesses, including the former Vice President of the United States.

But you'd rather engage in emotionally overwrought tweets that make you feel empowered. Now I can return to ignoring what Chuck Schumer himself defined as a sham impeachment.

Lastly: You're full of shit if you think the public will hang this around the GOP's neck in two years. Did you not notice they just got the GOP within six seats of taking the House? You Dems will overplay your hands and people will move on to other things by them.
