1) Very unlikely. And even if he gets impeached (by House) he needs to get removed from the Senate. McConnell can simply run the clock, and even if he starts the trial, it is quite unlikely that there will be 20 GOPsters who will vote to remove him (I think only Murkowski, Collins, Romney and Sasse would vote for that). Most likely McConnell will simply let the senate continue its recess.
2) He needs to be impeached from the House, removed from the Senate and then senate needs to pass a resolution that he cannot run for a federal office again.
Cheers, yeah I meant removal* from impeachment, should have clarified.Probably still not enough republicans that would turn on him. I think it would need a 2/3 majority in the senate.
Apologies if already posted
I am guessing the SNL writers can call it an early night.It's surely a matter of hours or minute before a Downfall parody of Trump losing his Twitter account.

Does he though? Cause I'm not convinced he's actually allowed to do anything anymore.
Yeah, they mean the “convicted” part when they say “impeached”. The 2nd vote is just normally implied.I read somewhere that even if impeached there'll have to be another vote about him not running again right after?
tbf, in terms of his mental state, banning his twitter was a *much* riskier move than impeaching him or kicking him out. if he was out, his release would be his tweets. now? he only has the power of the presidency with which to take out his frustrations.
Ah gotcha, apparently Mcconnell don't want to let them vote until the 19th anyway, so might be a bit late.Yeah, they mean the “convicted” part when they say “impeached”. The 2nd vote is just normally implied.
If they include the disqualification from future office in the articles of impeachment, it’ll pass through along with his conviction in the Senate.

Sounds like an easy job actually. Hanging out in Mar-a-lago, downtown New York, and various fancy hotels and golf courses - and that's about it. No way Trump would go on a book tour or attend charity events. Just need to put some music in those ear pieces so you don't have to hear him talk.Jesus. Just for the sake of those poor Secret Service agents make this happen. Trumps detail will become the new Nome, Alaska penal post.
I do not think he has presidential power and I think twitter were told that.tbf, in terms of his mental state, banning his twitter was a *much* riskier move than impeaching him or kicking him out. if he was out, his release would be his tweets. now? he only has the power of the presidency with which to take out his frustrations.
It would be worth it if it passed just to feck him over for the rest of his miserable life.Ah gotcha, apparently Mcconnell don't want to let them vote until the 19th anyway, so might be a bit late.
I do not think he has presidential power and I think twitter were told that.
I rarely know what you are on about and this is no different.How many employee we have at trump inc?
Tell them to each make twitter account x 10 per day.
Exactly what I was thinking. Ivanka and Junior must be staring off into mid-distance sweating he's going to ask for their Twitter passwords.This is glorious
MAJOR BREAKING NEWS (NYT): Trump Is Now "Express[ing] Regret About Releasing a Video Committing to a Peaceful Transition of Power and Condemning the Violence at the Capitol" He regrets committing to a peaceful transition—so he must be removed immediately.
here we go folks, the nutcase is about to unleash. The trash-panda has been backed into a corner with all the bans.
What i don't get is that, he has money, lots of it. Surely he would have expected to be banned at some point and surely, it would have been an excellent business opportunity to make an app such as twitter and : 1) make money from it; 2) use it to communicate with his base without anyone silencing him.
I know that apps can be removed from stores and any app he would create can as well, but it's not difficult to host it on your website and install it without even using any store. So in that sense, it's weird for him that he didn't jump at this chance.
Anyways, good riddance.
