seems definitely less weird than making every presidential address a superspreader event and having potus go to the hospital because he's too stupid to understand how a pandemic works
Now the presidential addresses are only superspreader events for the tens of thousands of soldiers who have militarized D.C.
Welp, I called it.

Josh Holmes, the Mitch McConnell acolyte who defends him with the sleek loyalty of Grima Wormtongue with a full Windsor, called me a dipshit the other day for reporting a quote from a deputy chief of staff for a U.S. senator. I don’t take it personally, but I do think it’s indicative that McConnell world is a bit on tilt at the moment. Having been such a failure this cycle even as the House Republicans performed so impressively can’t feel good. The McConnell folks were all projecting confidence about the two Georgia seats, saying the $2,000 stimulus checks both candidates supported were unnecessary, building up the amazing ground game and effectiveness of the most expensive advertising blitz in the history of the U.S. Senate — so to have their effort turn into such an embarrassing disaster has to have them feeling a bit defensive.
Now comes McConnell’s impeachment effort, as effective and well-thought as his filibuster defense effort, and it is already looking like an embarrassing and risky bit of 4D chess. His acolytes are already depicting this as being some kind of redo of Tea Party crazies versus the establishment. It’s obviously nothing of the kind. Graham, Scott, Scott, Cotton, Rubio, Paul, Lee, Johnson, Hawley, Cruz, Ernst, Kennedy, Risch, Cramer, and Cornyn are all on the same side here: This impeachment is vindictive, unserious, and constitutionally dubious, in addition to being politically suicidal with small-dollar donors and the only path to making Donald Trump form a third party. This position is obviously true, and disputing it requires you to twist your brain in such a way that you end up as Mitt Romney. Nobody wants that.

That's called begging the question.
He needs to actually make the argument for why the impeachment is vindictive, unserious, and constitutionally dubious.
Of the three of them, the only one that is obviously true is the constitutionally dubious one, and that's because Trump is out of office. If he weren't, it wouldn't be constitutionally dubious at all. And sure,
while the history of impeachment suggests that the Senate normally disposes of the trial for people who are already gone,
the Senators can do whatever the hell they want as they literally write the rules.
And there's no way in hell that SCOTUS is going to overturn that, let alone hear it. Hell, Roberts won't even
preside over the trial.

It really isn't dude. The only thing working in his favor here is the timing. If this had happened almost another other time than about two weeks before he was gone, it would be a vital question that had to be addressed. As it is, as conservatives, if we're against rioting in state capitals, we have an obligation and duty to consistently apply those principals when our nominal team does the same thing.

You mean, because Trump would still be president
Yes, the entire hilarity of the issue is that they're "impeaching" the "president," if you know what I mean
You're saying, if the essential thing that makes it stupid weren't the case, then it'd be totally different. Well yes

The Senate has a constitutional obligation to handle impeachments that are sent to it. Since they literally set their own rules on handling an impeachment, they can indeed hold a trial on those article if that's what they decide to do. And there is no one who is going to tell them otherwise.
