House passes motion. Goes to senate ?

 

There are THREE times as many armed military now in Washington DC than there are currently in Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria.

Alternate reality prediction:

On 19 January, Trump will embark on farewell flight across country with cronies and supporters in Air Force 1. He will then command the pilots to fly to Russia, where he will request asylum and be welcomed by a grateful Putin, who will award him a Hero medal.

The Washington Post -  4 takeaways from Trump's historic second impeachment

today  (headings only)

 

1. The break within the Republican Party is significant - but not huge

2. Most Republicans are dodging directly defending the president

3. Trump is not out of the woods yet *

4. Democrats don’t seem too concerned about the political repercussions

 

*   If McConnell decides to vote to convict the president, he could bring the necessary 16 other Republicans along to convict him. 
     That means it’s possible Trump could be the first president to be convicted by the Senate.
     From there, only a majority vote is needed to prevent Trump from ever serving in office again.

He's definitely reading that off a script, no way did he come up with all that on his own. He sounds totally different when he's winging it at his rallies.

The hypocrisy of this "Presidential" speech is breathtaking, even by Trump standards.

Obviously he doesn't mean a word of it, but at least he has learned to read.

God Help America.  🙁

The amazing thing is some will take this as a smoke signal that he's being forced to do this against his will and they should do the complete opposite.
