My God, Some Of These Republicans

[Paigntonian]

are truly frightening (CNN live).

In today's vote, in the House of Representatives, the Democrats don't need any votes at all -- a simple majority suffices, and they already have that. In a future vote the Senate will vote to Convict or Acquit, and that's when they'll need 17 Republican Senators (of which so far I think two have confirmed, and rumours abound that maybe 20 in total are seriously considering it).

What is the RCS?

Royal Shakespeare Company I’d imagine

[sanmac]

Oh, OK...Thanks.

This non-question should be on Chatterbank, not Answerbank.

[ichkeria]

And slightly unfair I think. There have been some rousing words.
One of the best by Rep McCarthy on the Republican side

Best name (and possibly accent) so far:

So far 5 Republicans have entered their vote to impeach. It's interesting to see the vote counts updated constantly, as opposed to our system where we wait for the count to be completed and verified before announcing it.

Expecting two more Republicans to join the vote, and maybe a few others who were keeping silent about it.

They've just got the 217 to impeach! 10 Republicans voted for it.

[Peter Pedant]

[Peter Pedant]

the legislators in the land of the free really seem to have been freaked by the threats of people with guns and pipebombs when they er didnt

Michael Foot for example wd have bored them to death with a 3 hour speech

Interesting that Mitch McConnell isn't among the 10 Republicans who vote to impeach. I wonder if he chickened out or if he abstained (there were 5 no-votes)

[Peter Pedant]

sozza mozza
senator Mitch did not vote in the House of Reps because er he is a senator

a mistake that cd have been made by any of us

[Mozz71]

Yeah PP, I realised I ballsed up about 15 minutes after typing that. (I know I'm getting old when the penny drops in slow motion like that)
