It’s theoretically possible that an asteroid could hit a gathering of GOP senators shortly before the impeachment vote, skewing the demographics of the Senate enough to convict.
AFAIK, the affected senators vacate their seats. A quorum is 50% + 1 of occupied seats. When an asteroid falls on 30 GOP senators, a quorum is 36 and a supermajority is 47, not 51 an 67.
lol you guys already tried this! And it did nothing! Like by all means apply pressure but don’t expect a different result, and then be bitchy to people who point that out.
Don’t give up so easy. We all know how much it sucks to see this trash never face proper repercussions for their actions, but we can’t just accept that or think not voting for slightly better people will do nothing.
We need to keep making incremental changes for the benefit of all of us and it takes time. Or I guess revolution, but that’s not going to happen and we shouldn’t count on it.
Revolution won’t happen with that attitude either. You don’t give up yourself friend. I’m going to keep voting for the least fucked up person, but I’m also not going to pretend it’s actually making a difference when I see whats going on.
I think we have learned that impeachment is pointless.
Impeachment only matters if they enforce it. They won’t, even assuming it passes.
I would rather see representatives bring articles of impeachment, even if it’s hopeless, than sit there with their thumbs in their asses.

Wouldn’t you be missing a quorum then?

Don’t give me hope like that.

Seriously. It did nothing last time.
So you suggest doing what, specifically?
All of my suggestions tend to get me banned.
Probably because they’re so helpful
So you’ve got nothing. Moving right along.
but impeachment is nothing.
The fundamental problem is the USA does not have serious laws to address corruption or gross incompetance in government.
Not gonna argue the point with ya. And all we’re doing here is yapping, with nothing of substance to offer, right?
Well…y’all stayed home last election…soo…
Big on assumptions, I see. Not criticizing, some folks only exercise is jumping to conclusions.

Learning from mistakes is a bad thing to them.
Love your username.
Thank you.
