@JohnCornyn
No, its takes unanimous consent. But you already knew that. BTW, if it is a good idea to impeach and try former Presidents, what about former Democratic Presidents when Republicans get the majority in 2022? Think about it and lets do what is best for the country.
Chuck Schumer
@SenSchumer
Our plan will allow us to do President Bidens nominations, COVID relief, and the impeachment trial of Donald Trump.
As we said, we can get all three done, and we will.
Cornyn threatening to impeach past Democratic presidents...What a buffoon

How did I end up watching this You Tube video?
It popped up on my You Tube feed...Maybe all those arrests I'm following..
Chuck Norris "look alike" at capitol riots, posed with rioters.
After a viral photo claimed to show Chuck Norris at last week's rally of supporters of President Donald Trump in Washington, D.C., his camp issued a statement on Tuesday saying it wasn't actually the martial arts actor.
Erik Kritzer, a spokesman for the "Walker, Texas Ranger" actor, insisted that his client was thousands of miles away from the U.S. Capitol last week.
"This is not Chuck Norris and is a wannabe look-alike, although Chuck is much more handsome," Kritzer said in a statement to NBC News. "Chuck remains on his range in Texas where he has been with his family."

Now in Texas, they literally will have someone strapped to the gurney and then if they get a last minute stay, they go through with the execution. I'm not sure if they will schedule this into Biden's presidency or what...
About the Russian speaking rioter - already ID'd
She is the mother of the vice chair of Young Republicans of Oregon

Police records indicate that a Russian-speaking mother and daughter, Yevgeniya and Kristina Malimon, were arrested Wednesday night and charged with unlawful entry and a curfew violation. The Portland, Oregon, women "did enter or attempt to enter" the Capitol building, according to police records, and were arrested after ignoring "at least 3 warnings" from officers to disperse. Neither woman responded to multiple requests for comment from ABC News.
The younger Malimon, 29-year-old Kristina, appears to be the vice chair of the Oregon Young Republicans and appears to own social media accounts filled with pro-Trump content. Prosecutors were asked to provide a Russian language interpreter at Thursday's arraignment of Kristina's mother, Yevgeniya. Both women were released Thursday after pleading not guilty to the charges against them in court.
Yevgeniya Malimon, speaking through the court-appointed interpreter, denied the allegations against her during a hearing on Thursday, saying. "I'm not sure what unlawful entry you are talking about; I didn't enter anything."

Although Russian language, I don't think this is a Putin-Russia connection. Lots of former Soviet-bloc people are anti-communist and super conservative. Kristina says her family was persecuted for being Christian in Moldova.
Haven't they been debating for over two hours???
Thinking about all those grim faced GOP senators and their objections tomorroow....
They all kinda lost tonight....
