So fast moving. Here we go again....

Anyone else watching the live vote count?

What happens if they run out of time?

[quote Jaichangecentfoisdenom]@Furries - I'm outside both the US and the UK and am watching the debate live online via the Washington Post (to which I am subscribed). If I use a VPN, I can watch US channels online.

I'm shocked at the Republicans' playing down of what Trump did, even of what happened last week and saying more investigation needs to be done before impeaching him. Just look at his Twitter feed, you numbskulls![/quote]
Thank you! Life took over and am assuming I missed the Senate debate/vote. I‘ve caught all of the House coverage. Appreciate you letting me know!

I'm assuming NV = not yet voted, in line.

Anyone else watching the live vote count?

Me. It's horrible

@ThatIsNotMyUsername

Anyone else watching the live vote count?

Yup.

BBC saying apparently 9 Republicans have said they will

They won't get through another 150 in 30 seconds

I can’t quite believe how the republicans are still sticking with him... but it looks like they won’t get their way!

Panic over, time mustn't matter

Voting isn't being timed out.

Panic over, time mustn't matter

Bizarre. Why put it?

From what I understand, the Speaker can stop the clock.
I'm not clear why they can stop the clock. But the BBC say the vote will take about 30 mins.

I'm not surprised by the numbers. Last week, even after all the violence, more than three quarters of these idiots voted to object to Pennsylvania's vote going through.

They care about nothing but themselves.

What's H RES 24?

Kinzinger, Katko, Cheney, Anthony Gonzalez and Tom Rice (all voted yes).

Not sure who else yet.

7 Repub votes for yes so far. Not sure there will be more...

Ben Riley-Smith @benrileysmith
Mitch McConnell statement on impeachment just circulated. Says he hasn't made up mind.

"While the press has been full of speculation, I have not made a final decision on how I will vote and I intend to listen to the legal arguments when they are presented to the Senate.”

Not a no. Also not a yes.

The Democrats have the numbers though.

Marjorie Taylor Greene is sociopathically insane, surely? And dangerous.

But I'll put in my vote for my state's governor, Gavin Newsom.

Yes he’s very acceptable. But I was transfixed by the enormous earrings on the woman on the left. They look like those semi circular veg choppers.

Hres 24 is what they are currently voting on. It was Hres 21 last night/this morning. this has been on the screen during the live voting,

H res being house resolution?

PusheenLove, house resolution 24 - today's motion? I presume H Res 8 is to do with absentee voting due to positive covid test? There's a fair few missing.

Is the vote carried by a simple majority or is it more complex? I think I read 2/3 of those present, or was that for amendment 25?

Sorry if this has already been said, but does anyone find it suspicious that two people involved in the insurrection have died by suicide? One was a guy who was charged with an offence www.mirror.co.uk/news/us-news/trump-fan-53-found-dead-23308716

The other was a police officer who was on duty www.buzzfeednews.com/article/claudiakoerner/capitol-police-suicide

In any case the body count is now up to 7.
