"A majority of Americans support the second impeachment of former President Donald Trump and want to see him convicted in the Senate and barred from holding future federal office, according to a new poll released Monday by Monmouth University.
"The poll found 56 percent of Americans approve of the the House of Representatives impeaching Trump for his role in inciting the insurrection at the Capitol on Jan. 6, a slight uptick compared with his first impeachment — 53 percent of those surveyed by Monmouth University in January 2020 approved."
Excellent.
It's disgusting to see the Reichwingers on various social media platforms still crying about poor widdle #TRE45ON being so persecuted. It's like they completely blanked January 6 out of their heads.

It's purely a political move. It will be worse this time if the Dems can't convict him

It’s possible Trump could be barred from holding federal office whether or not he is convicted in the Senate trial.
Yale Law School professor Ackerman and Indiana University law professor Magliocca point to Section 3 of the 14th Amendment, aimed at preventing people from holding federal office if they are deemed to have “engaged in insurrection or rebellion” (this dates from the post Civil War period, but it’s still there).
If a simple majority of both houses vote that Trump engaged in an act of “insurrection or rebellion,” then he would be barred from holding federal office.

It actually says two thirds of each house.
In a poll of 50 democrats!
What an absolute false narrative!

I't does not, you misread it. This is what it says:
< The professors write that if a majority vote of both houses agree that Trump engaged in an act of “insurrection or rebellion,” then he would be barred from running for the White House again. Only a two-thirds vote of each house of Congress in the future could undo that result. >

ONLY BECAUSE THEY HAVE BEEN REPEATEDLY LIED TO ABOUT WHAT PRES.TRUMP ACTUALLY SAID.
THEY'LL GET THE WHOLE SPEECH IN THE SENATE ,UNLESS LEAHY MOVES TO OBSTRUCT JUSTICE.

Senate must convict Trump.
How so, the Dems will have every Republican on record that they support insurrection. Elections are in 2 years, in some places being a trump pawn will be good for their career in other areas it will spell the end of their time in office.

Calling it insurrection doesn't make it insurrection.
True, it requires one to actually take action and that criteria was met.

Again what democrats call it doesn't make it so.
Won’t happen, at best, only half dozen GOP Senators will vote guilty, if the guy raped their daughters they’d still vote not guilty
They are afraid of a primary, already the rationale is apparent, “it will only divide the country,” or, “it isn’t constitutional,” both lame but gives them an out
Remember Trump’s line, “I could shoot someone on 5th Avenue in broad daylight and not lose votes,” apples to GOP Senators also
I did not need the Democrats or Republicans to tell me what I saw happening, my eyes work fine and my mind knows how to process what I am seeing. You must have seen something different. Let me ask this, what was the purpose of what happened on the 6th?
