Showing Original Post only (View all)For everyone calling for impeachment now, are you really naive enough to trust Turtle Mitch?? [View all]
Without a Senate trial, impeachment is meaningless. Could somebody please, sincerely, tell me what makes you think that Mitch would do anything different with impeachment than he did with Merrick Garland?
"We don't need to have a trial in the Senate; that trial will take place in the voting booth a year and a half from now" -- McTurtle, probably, should the House impeach.
(I am honestly looking for somebody to convince me it could possibly go any differently given the tortoise-like one's track record of brazenly defying the rule of law.)

PUH-leeze. It was political suicide not to hold Garland hearings. How did that work out?

I frankly don't care what McTurtle or how the Senate Rs vote on impeachment. It must be undertaken

My point was that if/when the House impeaches the Senate will refuse to hold a trial.
