Today Trump was impeached, again, for “incitement of insurrection”. The vote, which was in favor of the single article 232 to 197, was taken 7 days after the violent riot at the US Capitol, which left 5 dead. The details, arrests and investigations are ongoing as gruesome facts continue to emerge.
The action today was only the forth impeachment of a president in US history. This was the first time that any president was impeached twice. The vote in the House was not along strict party lines this time, unlike Trump’s first impeachment, and ten republicans stood up and voted with the democrats, and, some feel, in favor of the country and the constitution.
Unless there is unexpected, bombshell-level news of a change in the obstructionism of Mitch McConnell, and he decides to join with Chuck Schumer in calling for an emergency session of the Senate, any trial would take place after president-elect Biden is already sworn in.
”We know that the President of the United States incited this insurrection, this armed rebellion against our common country, He must go. He is a clear and present danger to the nation that we all love.”
-Nancy Pelosi just before the commencement of the vote
With Trump effectively silenced after his Twitter, Facebook and YouTube accounts were blocked, the only remaining response of any note would presumably be in the streets if his deranged supporters choose to take up arms again.
