.@senatemajldr will attend a church service with @JoeBiden tomorrow at St Matthews in Washington DC, a source familiar confirms to me. Biden invited McConnell. We’ve previously reported the two men have been in contact as Biden prepares to take office.

Who could blame him? Trump cost him the Speakership.

“They were provoked by the president and other powerful people. And they tried to use fear and violence to stop a specific proceeding of the first branch of the federal government which they did not like.”

What was interesting is that Ted Cruz was running the show when McConnell said that. I wonder if he had any reaction?

ohknow35 · 2021-01-19T23:45:45.421Z

He didn’t have a “speakership”.

Yeah, everyone hates Trump. You guys won!

See what nearly 5 years worth of daily hate-memes gets ya??

Wait, why is that a good thing??

I am hopeful that this means a Senate conviction in the impeachment trial is possible.

Speakership?

Are you sure you should be posting here?

Ohhhh Soooorry- Leadership position. He no longer has the LEADERSHIP POSITION. And he is PISSED OFF.

mot1man · 2021-01-19T23:52:14.370Z

Yeah, I’d go with that over what your original reply was.

Good save

Munimula1 · 2021-01-19T23:52:24.156Z

LOLOLOL that’s great.

Thanks pal. Now will Mitch wish that he had the LEADERSHIP enough to screw Trump ?

And don’t forget Antifa and BLM…

Munimula1 · 2021-01-19T23:55:51.108Z

Ohhh - I don’t think that’s where Mitch was going with this.

I am hopeful that this means a Senate conviction in the impeachment trial is possible.

The vote to convict is 2/3 of the Senators present. So there is the possibility that there might be a movement to have the proper number in place to pass. I have also heard that there is a path to have a motion passed that would forbid Trump from every holding federal office again. And that vote is a simple majority. And if passed I think it would really piss off Trump. He is hoping to announce that he is running in 2024 and therefore have a flow of cash to live off of and pay for his ego stoking rally’s.

McConnell saw his position go from Majority Leader of the Republican party in the Senate with the capability of blocking anything Biden tried to inflict on the US to opposition complainer.
He could put up with Trump while Trump could bring in the votes. Turns out, Trump was good for bringing in the liberal Democrat votes.
Of course McConnell wants Trump out of the way…apparently even at the risk of losing some number of Trump loyalists.

His alternative is an almost certain loss in the 2024 Presidential election, if Trump runs anyway.

It takes 2/3 to convict. Once conviction occurs then the Senate can entertain motions for the conviction. Remove from office and/or barring future positions of trust in the Federal government. Those motions require a simple majority, but only after the 2/3rds needed for conviction.
