There is no double jeopardy relating to the impeachment process. The Fifth Amendment applies double jeopardy to “Capital and other infamous crimes.” The Senate can try Trump again on the original Articles of Impeachment. It can try him over and over until it gets the desired outcome. Maybe a trial in the morning, afternoon and evening daily from now until noon January 20 would be worth the effort. Even if the trials fail, they would be entertaining.
So, we don’t impeach because it will take the attention away from getting anything done to get the slow moving vaccine distribution process speeded up… Is that the answer? Is Congress that incompetent?

Here comes the next big surge, caused by those maskless morons at the Destroy Democracy rally, who have now all gone back home.

Don’t need a second impeachment, Matt.

Bob used to seem interesting and weirdly exciting. When did he become such a bore that we don’t want to spend a little time with him?
Time to move on Bob. Why don’t you spend some time with those people in the Parler before you go?
