Can the Senate just refuse to recognize a House impeachment?

Just on the face of its being revenge/frivolous? Or convene the "trial" long enough to read/"consider" it and then vote it out?

Hey, why not? It's the same way dems treat any facts that are damning for their side.

By this dearth of logic had the Republican party been in control of the Senate (which is dicey anyway with RINO Romney and a few others) when President Trump was impeached both times, they could have ignored it as well.

NO!  That is completely different they screamed in explanation.

P.S. IMHO there are at least 7 democrats (probably much more) that claim they are republican so the Rs need a 58-42 advantage in the senate to pass anything non-donkey-commie.
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

Never interrupt the Biden Administration while it's busy 'impeaching' itself.

For instance, they sat on the Navy/implosion data all week.
