3 GOP members of the house now say they will vote to impeach.  17 more are also expected to join them.  So, seems it will happen in the house.

 

McConnell is said to approve of the action.  Perhaps as a way for the GOP to rid themselves of Trump?  Hmm....it will be interesting to see how this unfolds.  Maybe the GOP will turn the corner and start becoming a better political party?

Yeaaaaaaa!!!!!!

Exactly my belief. The revival of returning to be relevant and reputable is at the threshold for all Republicans. Mitch got railroaded out of power, religated to minority leader and can return the favor by taking trump out for good. Opportunity awaits. Man up dude he would trash you like he did already without a thought.

Yeah, from what I've read, Mitch is very upset he lost his top job.  Due to the loss in GA.  Which was basically a referendum on Trump.  And Trump lost.  Again.

The Dems and MSM just realised their biggest asset is not president anymore very soon . They could drag this impeachment out for years and hopefully distract the people from the useless tit Joe Biden . Yes Trump is mental but impeachment? Christ which president have they had that wasn’t dodgy enough for impeachment? 
 

 I just feel the MSM have realised their biggest news story is going away and the Dems still need to keep playing the blame game as they are a complete joke.

The Dems did a very fine job for 8 years under Obama & Biden and Trump wasn't even a blip on the radar then (apart from being a pest and calling for proof of citizenship).

There is certainly plenty to blame Trump for (massive covid infection/deaths, an economy on it's knees, a huge budget deficit and National Debt) but I predict Biden will just roll up his sleeves, appoint the right people to the right job (remember when that used to be a thing) and get on with getting the US back to it's former glory. He's already got experience in it (2008 financial meltdown after yet another GOP administration) so is more equiped than anyone to get things back on track.

Trump will soon be a distant memory (hopefully an impeached one) without any further need to discuss.

Well, johnnybangkok's observation may be a bit of an exaggeration but the fact is Trump supporters, who often claim Trump's critics are obsessed, fail to account for the fact that Trump is currently President of the United States. Once he's out of office, there will be plenty of policy issues and legislation that will largely crowd him out of the public eye. The thing is, on policy issues he's not that popular. Most Americans favor higher taxation on the rich. Most support pollution controls. Most favor higher minimum wages. Most are in favor of greater govt. support for renewable energy. Most favor increasing health care subsidies under Obamacare.  If Trump starts openly railing at those programs, it's not going to win him a lot of sympathy. And he can hardly protest when the Democrats pass the $2000 dollar handout to most Americans.

He is impeached yes.  Two times now.  So the bigliest most impeached president ever.  He still needs to be convicted by the Senate in order to remove him from office and remove a lot of his post presidency taxpayer paid benefits.

There was also the small matter of him losing the general election.  But yea, besides that it was totally a referendum on him.

It was completely 45's fault for the two Georgia losses. Mitch has been quoted as being furious with 45 and saying he will never speak to 45 again.

Mwuhahaha!

Oh yea, it was totally bunker boys fault for losing GA and therefore the Senate.  All because he's such a sore loser. And now Mitch is throwing him under the bus by letting him get convicted on the impeachment for it. I don't think anyone could have come up with a better ending to this reality TV show of his.

It could get better:  His finances are finally revealed, he is exposed as a massive con man, he goes to prison, his empire goes bankrupt, Russian oligarchs who purchased Trump condos as boltholes have their properties confiscated...

 

Lock him up!  Lock him up!

As much as I DETEST The Grim Reaper (aka Mitch), he is playing the game well. He isn't coming right out saying he supports Senate removal, and this is keeping the putty-brained loser-in-chief stuck in his playpen, unsure of what actions he should take. This is keeping 45 basically flaccid, impotent, defanged.

I think he has a few more surprises left.  Including pardoning his entire family.
