Multiple Republicans makes it bipartisanship and puts more pressure on the Senate. Doesn’t mean they’ll convict him, but more pressure is still good.

i will give anyone credit for doing the right thing but have no compunction going back to vilifying them for arguing against extending unemployment benefits in a week
Well now Trump can brag about something no other President can...When you go to Wikipedia now, you have to decide which of Trump's two impeachments you want to read up on.

Not going to lie, while I'm glad he's Impeached again, seeing that only 10 republicans voted yay, and 197 republicans voted to support domestic terrorism, is a bit of a wet blanket.

That's actually a very large R number for this sort of thing.

Just means they can't memory hole him when the overwhelming majority supported him.
I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

It was 10, which is still the most in any impeachment vote of the same party as the president.
Some folks are being cowards in that 197 (maybe most?), knowing that they have cover from their angriest base from the Democratic members of the house. However, they should try just telling their base the truth at some point.
Yeah like I'm willing to give em credit on this, but like that's only because they're expected to be monsters. Like I'm guessing (fuckin hoping) all the Ds went impeach, I'm not giving them any extra credit for doing so cause it's a baseline expectation (and woe to any that did vote against, they must be primaried). That this is not a near unanimous vote is a sad indictment of where we're actually fuckin at here.
What was the exact time on the vote that sealed it?

I don't want to hear a goddamned word out of any of these 197 shithead's mouths when it comes to Biden's presidency. If an actual coup attempt that threatened their lives is not grounds for impeachment to these GOP turds, then nothing is.
... Of course, I say that, but I know they'll be making noise about impeaching him because Hunter sneezed or something. These assholes never care about hypocrisy.

4:23EST at the totp was within a minute if not spot on
I am so very tired of hearing the news point out how divided we are and desperate for "unity" amid Republicans asking why we can't just move on from the attack
Fucking... they tried to lynch elected officials while the president stoked and fed that division!
If I punch a Republican in the face, why do they get all indignant about it?! It's time to move on!
We aren't in a movie where you just appeal to the Republican's better natures, everyone claps, and stands up and says out loud "I vote Yay to impeach this President". There is a complicated political calculus. I wish we would stop lamenting that the Republicans don't magically find a conscience. It does not serve them to have one and it is never going to be an avenue to unite our country or convince them to reach across the aisle. There is NO ethical bottom for the majority of Republican Representatives and Senators. We didn't reach it during covid. We didn't reach it during the Muslim ban. We didn't reach it with kids in cages. We aren't going to reach it even with a Presidentially sanctioned Insurrection.
All 222 Democratic members voted "Yes" on impeachment.
Here were the 10 Republican "Yes" votes on impeachment:
Rep. Dan Newhouse of Washington
Rep. John Katko of New York
Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler of Washington
Rep. Adam Kinzinger of Illinois
Rep. Fred Upton of Michigan
Rep. Liz Cheney of Wyoming
Rep. Peter Meijer of Michigan
Rep. Anthony Gonzalez of Ohio
Rep. Tom Rice of South Carolina
Rep. David Valadao of California
There were 4 Rs that abstained from the vote, the other 197 voted "No" on impeachment.
They weren't even firmly rejected in the 2020 election! It's never going to happen. We have to stop hoping and wishing for it. And we also don't need to be surprised by it every time. That's the status quo for them.

I was thinking an even dozen.
Not enough to put money on that as the over/under, but still.
With plenty of Boogaloo boys and other fascists.
"There is no equivalence [to the BLM protests]."
also saying he will sleep easy having made the right decision
I don't like his policy history but man he's unwavering and gives no fucks

To be fair if something like 70-80% of his caucus/voting base wasn't completely bugfuck insane this wouldn't be any kind of brave stand at all
Unless someone wants to do the legwork for me to just copy pasta.
100%
i'm still impressed he's willing to say it bald and unvarnished, it's refreshing from the usual Republican talking points
especially not even remotely entertaining it has any equivalence to the BLM protests

he's breaking several two-timer records
two time impeachment
two time popular vote loser
Edit: In action movie terms, it means you get to say the line that means the tables have turned, so that’s something.

I’m extremely angry in advance about it.
When he drops dead they should absolutely deny him the right of any sort of state funeral
