Donald Trump

[Gareth Barry Conlon]

It's all about that for those that want it. How likely is it that enough votes are for finding him guilty this time?

Trump has been a full on disaster for the GOP. And there is no sign of him going away. This is the last chance for them (establishment Reps) to kill him off. Yes its bad for the relations with the base but you could have some who want to run themselves in 2024 and they know if they can exclude Trump now at this point then that is half the battle won. The whole MAGA base will go nuts and many will want to disown the GOP. That works as well as Ivanka and Jnr etc would have to plead with the base to get back involved and back them as Rep candidiates - but why would they when the GOP turned on Trump in the end. And a new MAGA party has zero chance. It would be a shit show from start to finish.

It makes a lot of sense for Establishment GOP to vote to convict right now - its a now or never chance to remove the cancer. Yes they would weaken themselves but longer term it really helps them move on.

George Conway tweeting they've got the numbers for a vote. Just needs Moscow Mitch to go straight for it rather than debate.

Nancy wrote to the chairman of the joint chief of staff saying trump is deranged and should not have access to the codes or launching military action

She is going for it

Nancy rapidly becoming one of my heroes.
Luv that photo of her with JFK back in the day.

Obviously photoshopped...

It has been reported Pence casts a *much* smaller shadow.

I agree that is what they should do, I'm just not convinced that they will do.

shitting bricks now isn't he? Trying to distance himself from his core and deflect any blame. Utter coward - behaving like he was a draft dodger or something ha ha ha

That apprehension is well founded and I think most of us share it.

We can only hope they are able to make it happen.

I knew Trump supporters were dumb, but FFS...

Going to be quite amusing when all of these get to court to see what their defence is and how many blame Trump for it...
