Jeff Flake made a good point yesterday; he said that if there's impeachment without conviction then that would give future presidents carte Blanche to do the same as Trump again.

I bet they feel like rebels by wearing the mask under their noses.
When do they vote to convict?
I believe the house and senate can separately take a simple majority vote and ban him from any future office too.
Pelosi getting ready to bang that gavel once again for impeachment.
What was the final house vote from his 1st impeachment?
Looks like all Dems will vote yes since conscientious progressive patriot bhakt surfer Tulsi Gabbard is no longer with us.
it's says a lot about orange idiot that we're now counting his impeachments.Gary Lineker's tweeting too.

Donald Trump has had twice as many impeachments as any other US President in history. He’s winning bigly.

Would make for an epic rap battle of history with Andrew Jackson.
Lame.
It'll be full of dog whistles and seething rage. Donnie's done.
Does this graphic show two dems voted against impeachment?
I think so, yeah.
Yep.
Jeff Van Drew, who became a Republican right after and some dude from the midwest whose district flipped Trump and he was hoping this would get him reelected. Didn't work.
Collin Peterson and Jeff Van Drew. Van Drew became a Republican shortly afterwards.
I’m being stupid but numbers don’t add when compared to tonight’s. I did google but is there a full breakdown of the previous one?
that was the 2019 vote. I know, it's confusing since he is the only guy to be impeached twice.
Not correct. If the senate convicts him (requires 2/3, so 67 senators) he can still run for office. But, after convicting, the senate can have another vote to ban him from holding federal office (requires only majority). In that case he is banned from ever holding a federal office, and l believe loses pension etc.
"I've been impeached more times than any other president, EVER. Nobody has ever been impeached more than once! I've done it twice, TWICE! Incredible.
People said you can't be impeached twice, but I did it"

I wish he still had Twitter tonight 
No, the removal from office is not a criminal matter. It is also political as it takes place in the Senate and not a court.
It feels like the GOP is about to split in two.
Good.
Ultimately it will be the end of Trumpism. Major Donors are not going to side with radicalism. They will die out quickly.
It was fun for a few days right after the election, watching the meltdown. After that, it was just scary. It's a good thing its gone.I wish he still had Twitter tonight
Does this thread need a Pep meme?

That's just pissing money away. Better get cheap cheese and donate the rest to Trump - looks like he's going to need it soon.
fecking test came back negative, so can't blame COVID anymore. I think I'll have a snobby GC late night snack to celebrate and ponder how the hell I got another bug while quarantining.
Edit: speaking of presidents and cheese:
A New York dairy farmer sent President Jackson an interesting gift: a 1,400-pound cheese. Jackson left it in the Entrance Hall of the White House to age for two years. In 1837 the President invited the public to come and eat it. The cheese was gone in two hours, but the stain and smell in the Entrance Hall lasted for a long while.
A bug that also messed with your taste? Damn.
it's weird. I have a bunch of covid symptoms (temp, stomach issues, reduced taste, light headed), but no cough, no sinus issues. Oh well. On to that sandwich.
