    Gingrich saying it didn't mean a whole lot to me. Mitch is as establishment as it gets.

    Yeah, Newt lost the plot a while back. He is nothing more than an accessory to a whack-a-doddle. But Mitch is the center of what remains of the party.

    Sure, I mean if he handled it "perfectly, just like the call to Zalensky," how can you possibly improve on perfection?

    And if someone asked that at the presser, that answer would be prefaced by "That's a terrible question and you're a terrible journalist. You should be ashamed of yourself and your fake news..."

    So...we may have to figure out how to handle this. Does the pot split?

    Yup. Biden has won the election, and we have just witnessed the breaching of the Capitol (along with other locations) around the country). Impeachment would only be technical, and would also only inflame the outgoing President's supporters.

    The same problem will be there as last time-2/3rds of the Senate won't vote to convict.

    I dunno.

    If he's impeached again before the 20th, the pot can be split.

    I don't think 2 impeachments were one of the choices. ;)

    Imagine if you are an oddsmaker. How do you calculate odds for something like that?

    It would bar Trump from holding public office ever again.

    Is there a notification to you that time stamps when someone voted? Asking for a friend. Totally not me. I certainly didn’t notice today that I hadn’t actually voted.

    Go post something about Dos a Cero in the World Rivalries forum and you can definitely win this bet. ;)

    Can they impeach him after he leaves office? I seriously doubt they could get everything done in a week. They might get it through the House, but there is no way that McConnell will be that quick with the Senate and Schumer isn't going to take over until GA certifies the runoff votes.

    Yeah...I was listening to something the other day which said that convicting of impeachment is not possible, because the time it would take to complete the procedure from front to back is not possible.

    Same with 25th. All Trump has to do is object to finding of cabinet and VP and it requires senate and house votes which won’t happen by 20th.

    And then the VP and Cabinet resubmit their finding and he loses powers again until Congress determines if their finding has merit or not.

    Or they could do what Cabinet did to Nixon: ignore him.
