Up is down--freedom is slavery--republicans are honorable--74 million voters are thoughtful, critical thinking citizens--
You cannot have legitimate elections that are so thoroughly rigged you need an expert, a constitution that is shredded, a military and police force that allow rioters into the capitol building, and 40% of the population demanding a dictator. Majority rule is MOB RULE, and Civil War is FUCKING WAR! Donald Duck is trashing out the entire judicial system and congress, and the Tea Party is insisting he is doing the right thing. Either Biden and the democrats show they still have balls and know how to do more their move their mouths and spout rhetoric, or we are fucked.
The 7 Republican senators who voted to convict former President Donald Trump explain their rationale Crystal Hill and Christopher Wilson Sat, February 13, 2021, 5:55 PM The 7 Republican senators who voted to convict former President Donald Trump explain their rationale
Americans have been voting for whoever advertises the most in virtually every election for over twenty years. Somebody should tell them they have political parties.
Somebody in the republican party has to say something different, or nobody would ever bother to listen.
Key takeaways from final day of Trump's 2nd impeachment trial excerpt: "Herrera Beutler, one of 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump in the House, confirmed Friday evening that Trump, when asked by McCarthy to call off the riot, said, "Well I guess these people are just more angry about the election and upset than you are.""
If we wait until he's dead it could take a while. For an overweight old man he's pretty healthy. Apparently golf is good for you.
Trump will be a factor until the his mindless admirers abandon him. I don't see that happening soon. Even if he is convicted of multiple crimes they will simply rationalize the convictions as the Deep State, Democrats, ANTIFA, the Illuminati...you name it.....persecuting him. There is no rational thought involved when it comes to enabling Trump. Trump supporters are mad at the world and are hell bend to destroy it if they have to. Nothing is sacred to them, they see themselves as victims with nothing more to lose. While they profess patriotism, religious morals, law and order, truth, etc.; they have no concept of what those words and ideals really mean. All they know is that they deserve better and that's what Trump promises. He feeds them lies and promises of a better world and they are prepared to burn down the current one to reach the promised land of Trump. Trump is not the problem, the failure to address those who follow him is the problem.
After the Speech: What Trump Did as the Capitol Was Attacked excerpt: "At 1:34 p.m., Mayor Muriel Bowser of Washington made a formal request for assistance in a phone call with the Army secretary, Ryan D. McCarthy. At 1:49 p.m., as the Capitol Police asked Pentagon officials for help from the National Guard, Mr. Trump tweeted a video of his incendiary rally speech. It was around this time that some of Mr. Trump’s allies publicly called on him to do something. Chris Christie, the former governor of New Jersey, told ABC News that Mr. Trump needed to say something to stop the rioting. At 2:12 p.m., the same moment that the mob breached the building itself, Mr. Pence — who had defied the president by saying he planned to certify Mr. Biden’s victory — was rushed off the Senate floor. A minute later, the Senate session was recessed. Two minutes after that, at 2:15 p.m., groups of rioters began to chant, “Hang Mike Pence!”"
After the Speech: What Trump Did as the Capitol Was Attacked excerpt: "Nine minutes later, at 2:24 p.m., Mr. Trump tweeted a broadside at Mr. Pence for moving ahead to certify Mr. Biden’s win: “Mike Pence didn’t have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our Country and our Constitution, giving States a chance to certify a corrected set of facts, not the fraudulent or inaccurate ones which they were asked to previously certify. USA demands the truth!” At 2:26 p.m., after Mr. Pence had been whisked away, a call was placed from the White House to Senator Mike Lee, Republican of Utah, according to call logs that the senator provided during the impeachment proceedings. The president had made the call, but he was actually looking for Senator Tommy Tuberville, Republican of Alabama. Mr. Lee gave the phone to Mr. Tuberville, who has told reporters that he informed Mr. Trump that Mr. Pence had just been escorted out as the mob got closer to the Senate chamber."
After the Speech: What Trump Did as the Capitol Was Attacked excerpt: "“I said, ‘Mr. President, they just took the vice president out, I’ve got to go,’” Mr. Tuberville recounted to Politico. This was a significant new piece of information. House prosecutors used it to argue that Mr. Trump was clearly aware that the vice president was in danger and that he had a callous disregard for Mr. Pence’s safety. On Friday, Mr. Trump’s defense team had insisted that Mr. Trump was not aware of any peril facing Mr. Pence. Back at the White House, advisers were trying to get Mr. Trump to do something, but he rebuffed calls to intercede, including those from people wanting to see the National Guard deployed. The president, several advisers said, was expressing pleasure that the vote to certify Mr. Biden’s win had been delayed and that people were fighting for him. “According to public reports, he watched television happily — happily — as the chaos unfolded,” Mr. McConnell said on Saturday. “He kept pressing his scheme to overturn the election. Even after it was clear to any reasonable observer that Vice President Pence was in serious danger, even as the mob carrying Trump banners was beating cops and breaching perimeters, the president sent a further tweet attacking his own vice president.”"
