First time a President has been impeached twice. This makes Trump ineligible to run for public office again.

Edit: Striked text is inaccurate, per the NYT

The House, with some G.O.P. support, impeaches Trump for ‘incitement of insurrection,’ setting up a Senate trial.

Welp.

 

[BadBurger]

I don't think he knows about second impeachment, Pippin

 

[HawksWinStanley]

I don't know, guys. I'm starting to think we're not going to get details on Trump's healthcare plan.

 

[Vanish]

Congrats Trump! First and only president to lose the popular vote twice and get impeached twice. Well earned.

Source? I thought he needs to be convicted.

 

[Tesseract]

if the bar ain't bending, yer just pretending ...

no other president has been impeached twice. Impeached doesn’t mean convicted in the senate.

Correct. There is no punishment at all without conviction in the Senate.

First they vote to convict, 2/3rds majority needed to pass. If that passes, they can vote to ban from public office with a simple majority passing it.

 

[sobaka770]

Trump is winning at that impeachment game for sure.

For someone with narcissistic tendencies, infamy isn't a bad thing.

He'll certainly be remembered!!

Ok so when do they do AOC, Nancy and all the others that incited the BLAMTIFA riots leading up to the death of an innocent man in Portland?

 

[Zefah]

Only 9/211 = 4% of Republicans voting for it in the House does not bode well for a conviction vote in the Senate, which would require 50% of Republicans (assuming 100% Democrats) to vote for it.

 

[Punished Miku]

Good.

 

[showernota]

The first president to be impeached twice?

He's number one! He's number one!

 

[Svengoolie007]

Such scumbags. Why haven't Maxine Waters or Nancy Pelosi been impeached for inciting violence? They actually encouraged violence where Trump never has. We're in such a messed up timeline.

 

[BarringGaffner]

it is just a sad moment. Everything about last week was fucking just sad reminder of where we are at.

 

[Flame_alchemist]

Moment like this i wish trump still had twitter

Yeah but he needs to be convicted to be ineligible to run again.

 

[Kev Kev]

so does this mean they are now going to try and remove him as president (remove? i dont know the proper terminology... dethrone?... kick his ass to the curb?)

 

[Pagusas]

13D chess, impeachment is the american way of creating a horcrux, he intended for this, the more he gets impeached the safer his soul is.

[Stefan.North]

In hindsight, storming the Capitoll was very convenient for Democrats.

 

[e&e]

The fuckers did it again! Amazing! Now to see if Senate follows through pretty please?

McConnell wont call back the Senate early. They return on the 19. He will be out of office. If convicted he will be banned from running again.

10, and that makes this the most bipartisan impeachment vote in history.

I've actually just read something pretty much like that on one of the more right leaning sites, apparently it's part of the plan, and he'll use the trial to present the evidence of the election fraud......

People still believe!

Ontopic: That is something else really. History in the making.

 

[FunkMiller]

How about you, or anyone else, provide proof that they incited violence - as opposed to protest? Memes from Facebook don’t count. AOC’s a twat, but I’ve seen nothing to suggest she actively incited people to riot.

 

[ExpandKong]

If you're waiting for Democrats to hold each other to the same standards they hold everyone else, you'll be waiting a whlie.

COVID, too. Lots of worst-things-ever conveniently tipping scales in blue's favor.

I think some local governments are being sued by business owners. And rightfully so.

Don’t get your hopes up it’s not happening.

He‘s never going to be convicted by this senate.

not really. democrats already had biden and the senate. you could argue it helps the republican party because it allows a lot of them a great opportunity to bail while wiping their hands from the past 4 years. trump destroyed the republican party. it's splintered like the democrats are now

 

[Mista K]

What a goddamn waste of time and taxpayer money

 

[JLB]

Imagine removing every single politician for this reason: “inciting violence against the government.”
There were no politicians left.

 

[BarringGaffner]

House Republicans were reportedly scared to impeach as they fear for their families lives after death threats.

So we need a Spartacus moment in the Senate:

Lets convict this asshole and move on and never think of Trump again.

 

[TKOFromTokyo]

Does Nancy have new gold pens or is she being fiscally conservative and reusing the old ones?

 

[ManofOne]

 

[QSD]

orange man turning tangerine because he's impeached

get fruit out of politics say I!

We'll be hearing about Trump for years to come either way. CNN's ratings demand it.

 

[Zefah]

10, and that makes this the most bipartisan impeachment vote in history.

Still a minuscule number indicating that the Republican party has not actually completely turned on him for one reason or another.

They quite literally need 10x the enthusiasm for impeachment from Republicans in the Senate in order to get a conviction through.

 

[MastaKiiLA]

Well if he's good at anything, it's getting impeached.

 

[Bitmap Frogs]

implyng cnn will be around for years

You ain't wrong. Same as how right wing networks treat Clinton though.

True. we need some insane witness testimony such as from the people around Trump that leaked that he was excited as he watched the riots and refused to stop it. Will republicans be able to block witness testimony again without the senate majority?
