He was impeached a month ago. The trial is to decide whether Trump committed the 'high crimes and misdemeanors' of the impeachment charge.
The penalty if convicted is the loss of all his Presidential perks- pay for employees, pay for an office, Presidential retirement payments, the use of govt. transportation, etc.
The other penalty is he will be forbidden to ever run for any office again.
Trump is charged with incitement to riot and intended insurrection. Ordinarily, both would be criminal charges, but because he was President at the time, they don't apply to him. If they did, Trump would be facing prison time if found guilty.
I doubt there are enough Republicans who will vote for conviction to make it happen. 2/3 majority needed (I think) to convict, and I don't think there are 66 who will vote for conviction. Note enough Democrats alone to get it done.
If, upon conviction, they took a separate second vote, and that vote passed by a simple majority.
meanwhile, the person that is the grandfather of the crime bill and the endless wars (illegal to many) is ok to serve in the government for 47 years (51 years after his term is up) Does the media believe their own B.S.?
The Republicans defense of the legality Donald Trump's impeachment is political, not constitutional.
Impeachment trials are political by nature. That is why is is such a high bar to convict in the senate. Bottom line is like the first impeachment this one will fail. I am not a fan of Trump but its time to let him go away. If Democrats really care about bringing the country together this is not the way to do it.
From the article that is the basis for this thread.
Oh, tracking! I thought it might have been referring to Congress or something...
Since that's the sample size, and you assume 300,000,000 voters then a random, unbiased sample size of 508 people that says '56%' gives you a 95% chance that the actual answer if you had polled all 300,000,000 voters is between 51.68% and 60.32%.
That's actually a pretty solid statistical result for a simple poll. The polled people aren't 'speaking' for the people, they are providing evidence what most people probably actually think.
So, you understand that's not how our criminal justice system works, right? There's a process. Also, it's not a popularity contest. How do you not know this?

Maybe someone should send this evidence to Polident Pelosi before the sham impeachment trial. I wouldn't want her to embarrass herself, poor befuddled dear.
Only the most poorly informed believe poll numbers these days....
