But interviews across the Sunday political talk shows indicate that the trial could serve as a referendum on whether Trump should be able to seek federal office again, a decision that could affect his grip on the party and reshape the future of the GOP.Rep. Jamie Raskin “I’m not gonna lose my son at the end of 2020 and lose my country and my republic in 2021,” said Raskin, whose 25-year-old son, Tommy, died by suicide late last year. “It’s not gonna happen.”

Pelosi is still communicating with the Senate, Castro said, “but we'll be ready to go when it starts.”

Yes God forbid another outsider tries to bring a business outlook to government.

Nancy Pelosi, and anyone who voted for this should be impeached and removed from their office. But they won’t.

Certainly many should be disqualified by their behavior. = Democracy is about caring for all Do no harm

Considering everything Trump touches turns to shit, including the Republican party, I would say that's a smart move, wouldn't you?

Like Friday the 13th, “I’ll be back”

This country wouldn’t survive another four years of Trump.

Yes please do it

The Republicans suggesting in order to heal we have to drop the impeachment trial . With that logic we also shouldn't charge the maga insurgents.

Of course! That’s just one reason.

This video showing inciting rhetoric is telling

Duh. And then there’s that bit about actually inciting insurrection. To be clear, Trump’s abuse of office includes giving pardons to Bannon, Stone & General Flynn (who pled guilty, wait... what?) PardonGate

I believe justice should be the tip of the spear that all other follows.

I knew it was all horseshit, of course.

Acknowledge? That's the damn point.

Because Ivanka, Jared, Eric, and Donald Trump, Jr. we're all fully involved w with all the things that went on between Trump & Putin, they are 100% complicit in Russia meddling in 2016 until right now. They have shared info with them. They are guilty of treason, and sedition!👎👎

I mean no shit, it isn’t a secret.

Listen, a lot of us have seen this type of political strategy out of a “House of Card Or GOT” Playbook, & it’s appealing on TV, but what happens when you can’t legally prove this falsehood in court? 🤷🏽‍♂️

This is t he most important reason to impeach. He’s still saying he’ll run in 2024. America cannot handle another Trump presidency.

I became a Republican when I was 23 years old and I never questioned that decision. Democrats want a new program to solve every known problem and these problems get worse. Now there is no more freedom of speech, that’s gone.

Yeah, we’ve all known this. Don’t you follow the news?

Of course, why would we want a wannabe dictator to try again? We barely made it through the last 4 years

Well of course how pathetic and scared dems are

In other words, petty hatred by Democrats

Why would anyone be surprised? He incited racist terrorist to go after elected officials doing their constitutional duty.

cmarinucci There are Republicans secretly thanking Democrats for doing this dirty work for them, but how long before they publicly curry favor among Trump voters by going on the attack against Democrats for impeaching Trump?

Every conviction doubles as prevention of recurrence.

This impeachment is an embarrassment and a stain on the nation's history. People years from now will always remember that the party that won total control of government tried to remove a president in the very last week. It is peek pettiness and to the 75M Trump voters, an insult

A development, were it to happen, that would benefit the R party and certainly those Rs who want to run for pres in 2024

Is that a headline? He's leaving office. Of course that's remaining reason for impeaching him pursuant to the Constitution.

So essentially Democrats admit this is a sham, that's what everyone thought.

Hit the road jack and don't you come back no more no more.

Yeah, and, you know, the fcking crimes.

, I would fire the politicians that voted not to impeach Trump.

“We plan to do such a shitty job that people will want Trump back in four years so we have to make sure he can’t run” - Dems. Gonna be a hell of an administration!

The President did not incite. You're all being lied to.

Is that the new law in the Constitution? To prevent the President to run for office again?

It also is directly associated with a pardon, as Trump cannot pardon himself out of impeachment.

Must be prevented from any political position, or we are going to have worse 4 years to come

Isn’t that one of the main reasons impeachment exists in the first place?

So? And yes because he is a CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER to this country. Wtf, politico 😡😡

Duh. It’s the only reason.

meh . felony conviction in NY
