I have a hard time seeing all the way into the alternate universe you are posting from.
As pointed out earlier, many Republicans claimed that what Trump was accused of doing was very serious and could cause Republicans to support impeachment, so there was bi-partisanship. Once it was shown that he did what he was accused of saying, Republicans changed their minds, and now want to complain that its partisan
Their cation may be described as corruption.
I understand your argument; but I think the word coup more closely fits the abuse of impeachment than the electoral college, which has different motives, and is not aimed at a particular presidential candidate. I think a phrase like 'systemic violation of democracy' is more accurate than 'coup' for the electoral system.

What about it?
Who is President? I'll play whatever game you think you can play.
Nobody changed their mind.
You can make up any facts you want, but don't expect people to accept them.
You literally do not understand what a coup is.
Look at Bolivia if you want to see a coup. Backed by the dominionist theocrats here, of course.
The impeachment is 100% partisan at this point. Zero republicans have signed on.
With Bibles and guns.
A constitutional process is not a coup.
This is the language of authoritarianism.
Impeachment Trials and the Senator’s Oath of Impartial Justice | Take Care
For McConnell will certainly violate that oath by the way he is handling the trial against Trump in the Senate. He will work with the defendant, Trump, to see that there is a little hurt to Trump's chances of re-election as possible and has stated that the outcome is already predetermined. All of which violates the oath he will take as a juror in the trial. Of course, we have seen that McConnell has never even taken his oath of office seriously, so I guess that violating this oath means even less to him. I wonder if he has gone to one knee and taken a solemn oath to subjugate himself to the will of Trump as it seems he must have done. Perhaps that is the oath he is really willing to obey?
look in the mirror.....this is revenge for Clinton impeachment
I don't think that's true. The Clinton presidency is long over and done.
This is about another Clinton. The loser. And the people whut brung her there.
What part of The Constitution, exactly, is McConnell violating?
Y'all keep insisting that impeachment is a political process. You can't be mad when congress critters take sides in a political process.
First of all, y’all just want a easy walk to the end and I honestly hope that we impeach 46 the day after

The executive power shall be vested in a President of the United States.

Calamity thinks the vesting clause is somehow a restriction on the Senate. :lamo

Section 1 of Article Two establishes the positions of the president and the vice president, and sets the term of both offices at four years. Section 1's Vesting Clause declares that the executive power of the federal government is vested in the president and, along with the Vesting Clauses of Article One and Article Three, establishes the separation of powers among the three branches of government.

I think a coup describes what’s going on pretty well. We have a political faction that holds the majority in the house using that to falsely attempt to impeach a sitting president or at the very least taint the 2020 election.
One would need to be totally politically naive or so bias and partisan that it doesn’t matter, the end justifies the means. As for the constitutional process, this clown show is exactly what the founders were concerned about.

That's the one.

So why shouldn't he act partisan? Everyone else is.
