McConnell WON'T be running the Senate during Trump's 2nd Impeachment trial

[Minister of Truth]

no one there to stop witness testimonies, end the trial in a couple of days

so refusing to bring Trump's 2nd impeachment now rather than after Biden takes office is a GOOD thing, must be true he's finally turned on daddy

One thing that there is going to be a fuckton of in this trial is evidence.

There is no evidence that supports the Fascistic stupidity of the Party of the Jackass you fucking moron. Not to mention that Trump will be a private citizen bvefore a Senate trial is even getting under way. If you had a brain larger than a pea, you would know this dumbass. See above dumbass.

Leftists aee the biggest morons on the planet; which is why they vote Demcoratic.

Having the trial AFTER he leaves office will in fact be challenged in court for its Constitutionality.

Whether he wins or not I do not know, but the trial will have to wait for the Supremes to weigh in first.

My thinking is the 5 conservatives will point out how Unconstitutional it is, as the very idea of impeachment versus criminal courts is to REMOVE an official from office.

A lady died in the Capitol building wearing a TRUMP flag as a cape, and yet you call this impeachment partisan. What fucking drugs are you on?

they aren't impeaching the cop who killed her.......

[PostmodernProphet]

Hide and watch, there will be an impeachment trial

chicanery and tom-foolery from day 1?.......classic demmycuntism......

[T. A. Gardner]

.the trial will start on Trump's last day in office, constitutional

And be irrelevant the next day when he's out of office. Constitutional.

McConnell finally realized that Trump is the reason he lost his status as Majority Leader.

Mc Connell has chose not to challenge the massive fraud that took place. He is in China's pocket just like Braindead Joe and his VP Sperm breath.

"McConnell WON'T be running the Senate during Trump's 2nd Impeachment trial"

And the target of the impeachment (Trump) won't even be there to get removed from office. So there is that. Any impeachment trial after Trump is already gone will be pure political theater. Catnip for the Left. Annoying/irritating to the Right.


If the judicial system wants to file charges against "citizen trump" then they should do so. Am all for it. Make the case, file the charges, and have it out in court. That's the way things are supposed to work.

If the only point of this proposed "after he's gone" impeachment is to make sure Trump can't run for office in the future then the Congress can just make a rule/law that convicted felons can't run for president...and then convict him of a felony.


It's all political showboating.

You are wrong. A conviction can deny Trump a pension and possibility of holding public office again. Huge stakes.

Have no idea if impeaching a president (ex-president?) after he has left office is constitutional.

But it does seem sort of ridiculous.

Why Trump Can Be Convicted Even as an Ex-President

Article II, Section 4 of the Constitution provides that the “President, Vice President and all civil officers of the United States, shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.”

But Article I, Section 3 says more. In describing the powers of the Senate to conduct an impeachment trial, it provides that “Judgment in cases of impeachment shall not extend further than to removal from office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any office of honor, trust or profit under the United States” (emphasis added).
