If the opposing party have the majority in the house and know they will get it passed, why don't they do it more often over the years? Or is this an odd set up where the opposition of the pres have the majority in the house?

House passes the articles of impeachment. The Senate convicts and you need a 2/3's majority to convict so unless its a heinous crime or theres an overwhelming majority in the senate its pointless. The democrats shouldnt have done the first impeachment cause they know it wouldnt pass, but because they did it makes for a good optic of the twice impeached president.

Yes but I mean he is now twice impeached. He is on a very short list of impeached American presidents. Why is it so short? It is always kind of thrown at him as a bad thing, but I dont understand why as the impeachment bit seems guaranteed to be passed if the house is a majority opposition of the president.

I'd hazard a guess at if you impeach a President with no hope of it passing it'll affect your party in the next election. But that's just a guess.

My feeling is that it won't pass. Surely a move like that would galvanise the opposition more than it would teach anyone a lesson. In the interest of some semblance of unity going forward it would be a bad idea to run with it and I'd be surprised if the Biden supporters would really want him to have to start off by dealing with that on top of the normal run of things. Trump could do with defusing it now as well but I suppose he can't now or it's admitting he was talking shite about the rigged election and only strengthening the case for the impeachment, so I guess it's down to the senate to put a halt to things.

The best part is 10 minutes in when he is really letting it off. Can definitely see BSC giving it socks watching this.

Love how he uses the tunes to hammer home the message.  No wonder they were storming the Capitol.
