His social medias accusing Democrats of genocide were a bit spicy

They've literally just had a look at his socials and gone "nah, fuck that guy" and they're right, and companies do it all the time, which is why you should never post horrible shit online if you want a proper job.

That's right, keep all the horrible shit locked up inside your head

Here's a useful summary of all the different 'actions' that went on apart from what happened at the Capitol:
But in Los Angeles, white Trump supporters assaulted and ripped the wig off the head of a young black woman who happened to pass their 6 January protest, the Los Angeles Times reported. A white woman was captured on video holding the wig and shouting, “Fuck BLM!” and, “I did the first scalping of the new civil war.”

I hope they get to those people, too.

So how many repubs do they need for this impeachment to carry? 7 more?
-
• #15158
I mean it’s currently unified the house more than any previous impeachment apparently.

67 out of 100. 50 are (will be in February) republicans.

This quote from the Gruniad filled me with a gleeful sense of schadenfreuder:
None of the original lawyers who represented Trump in his first impeachment trial are expected to return. That could leave only Rudy Giuliani, part of Trump’s personal legal team, and Alan Dershowitz, who is supporting Trump on the grounds of free speech

It's not clear if you can impeach a President after he's left office.
You can - the aim being stripping him of his pension, travel allowance, secret service detail, and more importantly barring him from running for the Presidency again

Does Harris get a vote on impeachment in the Senate? And if Republican senators abstain, does that bring the required number of impeachment votes down (i.e. you need 2/3s of the votes to be for impeachment, not 2/3s of the whole Senate)?

Harris won't get a vote; she gets a vote on matters that require a majority but are tied at 50:50; impeachment requires a supermajority so she is not needed.
I think abstention wouldn't impact the vote; they'd still need 67 Yes votes (so the latter of your two - they'd need 2/3 of the Senate. Abstaining from the chamber means you're still counted, I think).

The likelihood of it happening has to be very slim.
However - I suppose the chances could go up if there are further attempts at violence and more pettiness from Trump, an possibly court cases - he might look like (even) more of a liability to the GOP after a few days as former President Trump.

Trump refusing to pay Guiliani for legal services.
Aha ha ha ha! Typical.
But - don't fuck over the people who buried your bodies (metaphorically). Note that attorney client privilege is void under criminal-fraud scenarios.

secret service detail
I read that Obama amended this. All future presidents, incl trump, will get Sec Detail for life.

Just a few links for you in case you wish to share with your family, I don't know how people could see these and decide it was all antifa doing the damage, or that there was even antifa there.

However, speaking to reporter Brett Samuels of The Hill on Tuesday, Mr Giuliani said that his “trial by combat” comment was just a reference to the HBO show Game of Thrones.
“I was referencing the kind of trial that took place for Tyrion in that very famous documentary about fictitious medieval England,” Mr Giuliani said on Tuesday.
I cant tell if he was joking or he's that dim

Delicious.
The guy was assigned as the company liason or similar wasn't he? If you've got a good relationship with a supplier, they send in a guy to work in your office and he's an asshole it seems much more reasonable to be like "change the guy you've assigned or we'll quit the contract" than going nuclear and cutting ties immediately.
The fact the guy got fired is on the company that hired him not the NHL.
Edit - I just double checked, he was hired as the concierge for a private jet company to the NHL so would have quite a personal relationship with the NHL staff. Sure maybe they could have sucked it up but they're within their rights to complain about him to the company they're paying if they want to. Besides I have little sympathy for a staunch supporter of a political party that is anti-employee rights in a country that already has few, getting fired for a thin reason.
