Impeachment: The Sequel

Ain't no way he's taking the 5th. Even if his new attorneys all try to force him to do it.
 
I'm sure he truly believes he's done nothing wrong.
 
oh I'm sure Senate Republicans will be bigly swayed by him not testifying.
 
I am surprised eleven Republicans voted to strip MTG of her committees.

Subpoena the SOB and ask him this question under oath: Who won the 2020 presidential election?

Game over bitches.

Well except I think he actually believes he won. That, and there still wouldn’t be enough votes even if he lied under oath.
 
He could get up there and detail elaborate plans of how he planned the entire thing and explicitly ordered the executions of Pence, Pelosi, Romney and Schumer and he would still be acquitted with the justification given he’s no longer in office.
 
Yep

Republican lawmakers are mostly indecent and dishonest cowards. They painted themselves into a shameful corner and refuse to seek a way out.
 
Democrats keep offering them a hand up and Republicans keep slapping it away because their primary motivation is owning the libs.

So it's looking like impeachment will fail now. To me, this says 1 of 2 things. Either Pubs believe there is almost no chance he gets the 2024 nomination (so why piss off his base in the process), or they don't care if he does get the nomination, which could mean the end of our constitutional republic if he wins.
 
Eh, I feel like that's giving people too much credit.

I think there's simply a number of pubs that are scared of Trump directly (based on stories from Trump National this is almost certainly the case for Lindsey Graham and a few others) or scared of his followers, either physically or in the voting booth. That number is past the tipping point and enables an illusion of solidarity, and they'll find a way to blame the process or the timing even if they despise Trump and everything he stands for. Solidarity removes individual accountability.

Or in other words, they're generally a bunch of pussies. 2024 Trump might be scary but it's not scary enough. Just like apparently the capital raid was scary but since no Senators actually got shot or beaten it wasn't scary enough.
