Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said there will be no second impeachment trial against President Donald Trump if the crazy Democrats follow through with their threat to impeach the president. But don’t mistake McConnell’s words for solidarity with the president.
McConnell sent out a memo where he said that the soonest that the Senate would be able to consider the matter would happen the day before the president leaves office.
The Washington Post, where democracy goes to die, got a copy of the memo, and reported that the Senate “will not reconvene for substantive business until January 19, which means the earliest possible date that impeachment trial proceedings can begin in the Senate is the day before President-elect Joe Biden is inaugurated.”
The Post noted:
“Although the Senate will hold two pro forma sessions next week, on Jan. 12 and Jan. 15, it is barred from conducting any kind of business during those days — including “beginning to act on received articles of impeachment from the House” — without agreement from all 100 senators. With a cadre of Trump-allied senators in the Republican conference, that unanimous consent is highly unlikely.”
The Washington Examiner noted that it looks like McConnell is handing over the next impeachment battle for a trial in the Senate to Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY), who will take over as Senate Majority Leader after the inauguration since the Republicans lost control of the Senate earlier this week after the Democrats pulled the same tactics to steal the two Senate runoff elections in Georgia.
Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) hailed McConnell’s move on Friday, tweeting, “Completely agree with @senatemajldr‘s analysis that the Senate cannot process the impeachment being contemplated by the House before January 20. I firmly believe impeachment would further destroy our ability to heal and start over.”
Democrats expressed outrage over McConnell’s timeline, with the sleazy Representative Adam Schiff (D-CA), who spearheaded the first impeachment of Trump, complaining to MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow, “If Mitch McConnell wants to move with expedition, he knows how to do it. And if he doesn’t, then he will bear the responsibility for whatever dangerous acts this president commits.”
This from a man who impeached an innocent president with zero evidence of wrongdoing and for something that Joe Biden as vice president actually did.
If the second impeachment trial does occur, “there is also a question of who exactly would preside over a trial of a former president,” The Post said.
The newspaper reported that according to McConnell’s memo, “Senate impeachment rules require Chief Justice John Roberts preside over a trial of a sitting president, but whether he would have to once Trump is no longer president is ‘unclear.'”
Folks, the only reason they want to impeach Trump again is so that this time they can remove him from office with a Senate trial as that would disqualify him from ever running for president again.
To even attempt to hold a Senate trial on a president who has already left office smacks of desperation on the part of the Democrats. It’s not clear if they can even do that. Can a new Congress take an impeachment from the last Congress to trial even though there’s no president to remove from office? The supreme penalty for an impeachment trial is removal from office.
Getting rid of Trump was just the beginning. Now the Democrats and the Left are going to go after anyone who supported the president. If you’re on Twitter and you Followed the president, you may be purged.
The Democrats are already talking about making lists the way the Nazis did when they took over. AOC has already said that she wants to cancel anyone who worked for Trump. She wants to create lists of them.
On Thursday, the day after the mayhem at the Capitol building, Kamala Harris, who is about to be sworn in as the new vice president, gave a speech about the incident. Did Harris talk about the need for peace and for civility? Not at all. She used the opportunity to play the race card. She actually asked America to think of what would have happened if those Trump supporters who stormed the Capital building were black, how many more would have been shot, and treated horribly by police.
VIDEO OF THE DAY
Idiots Twerk On Ambulance After Shooting In Oakland, CAWe haven’t even reached the penalties phase with the Democrats who are now in total control of the government. The next six months will be a “get evenism” experience throughout. They will come up with very inventive ways to punish anyone who supported Donald Trump. Their tyranny will change America forever. Get ready, folks. It’s going to be a bumpy ride.

But why?? Why are the Dems so hell bent on punishing people? What will it accomplish? They are some really hateful and vile people. How did that many evil people get into this government? They even hate each other!
President Trump would lose his retirement and any chance of running in 2024 as well as some other things. The US will be sick of Biden/ Harris by 2024 and Trump would probably win again. The Dems are scared to death of him.
Can you say “clueless” because you are. You parrot the party line when it comes to why Trump has been impeached. There is no “moving on” until the President faces the consequences of his actions. If you believe that his behavior was acceptable you have some serious issues with morality. The case being made against Trump couldn’t be any clearer. The timeline has been layed out for all to see. His rhetoric over a long period of time incited the insurrection. Do you love your country? It sounds like you just take it for granted. We are a Republic that will not survive if a President who’s unhappy about losing an election attempts a coup to hold onto power. What Trump did was criminal. He should be banned from ever running for any office ever again. He’s incapable of being trusted. He didn’t honor his oath. He used his office to profit financially. He attempted to hold back financial aid from Ukraine unless he received intel on President Biden’s son. The list goes on and on. Trump is a pathological liar. He’s a serial cheater. He’s been accused of sexual assault by many woman and he has bought their silence. Don’t point your finger at the Democrats and make false accusations that hold no water. Look directly at Trump when you wonder why they are impeaching him for a second time. Wise up. We have enough clueless Americans who choose to stick their head in the sand. You drag the country down when you behave as though Trump is faultless. The Country comes before party and before any one individual. You have a lot to learn.
Tergiversam, virando as costas com maestria sobre a roubalheira de votos de Biden ante TRUMP! Em uma comparação superficial com a roubada da Dilma na eleição de 2018, dá se ver que foram as máquinas da Dominion e SmartMatic que se sobressaíram como campeãs do ROUBO. Ah, sei. Nos States é 1º mundo e no Brasil é 3º. Mas lá, como cá. o roubo foi escancado. Tenho vergonha do Brasil ser achincalhado bem como seu parceiro de 1º mundo, USA. FICA POR ISSO MESMO? Sabem o que vão pensar quando ouvirem falar em EUA e seus Governantes? LADRÕES. NADA MAIS QUE LADRÕES!
Francesca: The Democratic party is identified by the hate, ignorance and lack of manners in trying to define who they are and what they do. They have pushed this bad character of manners to the media in the form of fake news and bad manners even to the president & people of office. Their ‘aims’ are getting more ignornant, more disarming and more hateful; its’ time to get back to freedom of speech and other areas the Dems have turned around to ‘their way of sick thinking’ — not the American way, We can still improve the USA – but we don’t need name calling and vicious remarks — they are the vicious and hurtful party that will go down in history – but for the wrong reasons.
There is NO HEALING you DAMN FOOL. It’s time to get REVENGE. It may take time, but IT WILL HAPPEN.
its amazing that our government simply can be stopped from functioning by one person. Regardless of party that thought is scary. There are wrongs in my opinion by both parties and i personally don’t think a second impeachment is necessary, I understand there are punitive measures that would effect President Trump however we must move forward not dwell in the past. To be honest the best thing that could occur would be President Elect Joe Biden when he becomes President to add to his list of Executive Orders planned on the first day a pardon of Donald Trump for any and all possible charges during his term as president. This of course would not absolve Mr Trump from any civil litigation but would stop the billions congress will spend rehashing old news. Congress needs to work on getting things done not pine for the tv cameras and committee hearings.
