Steny Hoyers speaking style is annoying the crap out of me. Good thing he does not have a time limit.

He sure does quote Liz Cheney a lot..
god damn 
7th!
my god, he's still going. I left the room to go make a grilled cheese sandwich. Grilled. Cheese. Sandwich. That takes time friends. Imagine my horror when I come back and he's still talking. It doesn't help that 40% of his speeches is pauses.
What cheese?
@Rado_N, as usual you ask the important questions.
A mix of 3. Imported Swiss from a local German deli, Wisconsin 3-year Cheddar, and an interesting cheese from North Carolina my sister sent me that has the texture of mozzarella and the bite of cheddar.

That sounds nice
That sounds like a mighty snack my friend.
Putting this in the snobbery thread.
Does it help or hurt that I can't actually taste it due to COVID?
In that case you should've just used American cheese.
So this won't help my case, but we don't have any in the house. To be fair, this is WI, you can by amazing cheese anywhere.
3 mins left and 200 haven't votwd yet

Should be upto 9.
I think it always runs over from what I have seen before.
Cheers
Now that I think of it, the americano coffee would taste exactly the same with or without covid.
Wondering why Dems are voting this late.
Mail in ballots
And I thought more republicans would vote yes.
Stop the Steal!
Simple majority needed here? Or how many?
Simple majority to impeach, 2/3rds to convict.
Do we expect them to have the numbers?
Disappointing but ultimately not surprising.
Still.. I think it's the most ever votes to go the other way in an impeachment.
What's the difference?
2/3 in the Senate.
Impeachment is a political process, conviction/removal is a criminal (civil?) process.
Impeachment - yes.
Conviction - remains to be seen, sounds like McConnell might be open to it but I’m not convinced he will whip for it.
217!
Surprised this cnut can stand without a spine.
House votes to impeach. Senate votes to convict. If after impeachment in House, Senate conviction fails (e.g. Trump, Clinton), presidency continues and Trump is eligible for reelection in 2024. If Senate convicts, then he's barred from getting elected again.
That's my understanding.
Jeff Flake made a good point yesterday; he said that if there's impeachment without conviction then that would give future presidents carte Blanche to do the same as Trump again.
