While the Rs in the House will sink as low as possible, two of your predictions are unlikely to occur: 1) "R"s will take away the rest of your rights and your earned social security retirement checks and health care etc etc " That won't happen because the Trumpian base considered social security payments to be earned, rather than being a government 'handout'. 2) While I have no doubt that Biden will be impeached (and Garland will be impeached as well if he indicts Trump, any enabler in Congress or anybody in Trump's inner circle), The Senate will be unable to convict Biden: R's won't be able to get 67 members to buy into it.
Fortunately, the 67 vote requirement for conviction is in the Constitution (Article I section 3). It's not a Senate rule that can just be overturned by a majority. Though yes, Mitch wouldn't hesitate to get jettison the filibuster for almost everything else (he'd justify it by saying that the Democrats once *talked about it*.)

Ahem. And THAT is when MITCH dumps the FILIBUSTER and convicts with 51 votes. Duh.

That's not how it works. The filibuster isn't part of the impeachment process.
