    Which part of this "accusation" is false?

    Trump had the documents
    Trump was not supposed to have the documents
    Trump refused to turn the documents over.

    Some quotes from Trump's Jan 6th speech.
    • And we fight. We fight like hell And if you don’t fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore.”
    • “All of us here today do not want to see our election victory stolen by emboldened radical-left Democrats, which is what they’re doing … We will never give up, we will never concede. It doesn’t happen. You don’t concede when there’s theft involved.”
    • “Our country has had enough. We will not take it anymore and that’s what this is all about … We will stop the steal.”
    • “Because you’ll never take back our country with weakness, you have to show strength and you have to be strong.”
    Keep in mind, other speakers had even more inflammatory speeches.
    I don't think Trump had envisioned that his supporters would actually break into the Capitol Building that day, but I do think he reveled in it. Rolled in it, like a dog in crap. He loved that people were so passionate about it because, to him, it was a YUGE ego boost, and he needed it following an election defeat.

    Math makes it true. Math can't lie.

    If one brings in a lower rate of income, their income goes down, given all else remaining the same.

    You've demonstrated SOME Dems have banned SOME guns.
    What you haven't shown is the party platform with the goal of DEMS banning all guns everywhere.

    You claim Dems. As in, all dems.

    I have. No one but the president or his/her designee can activate them.
    At per the statement above from the DCNG, at any given time.

    I appreciate you bringing inflation into the discussion. Inflation is governments best friend. Sure it hurts wage earners, but our reckless spenders in office use it to delay the inevitable. They can afford to spend $1200. on a toilet seat because you and I are the ones paying for it.

    Trying to stay on topic, prosecuting Trump is bad for the country. Another good thing for government is having Americans at each others throats so they can continue to spend like thieves with stolen credit cards.

    Wouldda, couldda, shouldda, is a fun playground to play in. The funny thing about opinions from economists, random people on the internet, and chimps, is that they all have the same chance of being right.

    You have very selective, and convenient, memory Mello.

    When the Republicans weaponize government departments against politics foes... no crying. Mm-kay?

    When Republicans do that (and you are saying WHEN, not IF) then I hope they get impeached.

    You know why?

    Because the government has NOT been "weaponized" against Trump. He has been lawfully charged and indicted for crimes just like any other citizen.

    But if the Republicans do it simply as some kind of payback, then that is, IMHO, an impeachable offense. Unlike what the Republicans just tried to do against Mayorkas.

    That's the question isn't it?

    If you don't know then it's not a direct call to violence is it?

    I have seen the "Clinton defense" many times.

    "Proponents of tax increases often reference the Clinton 1993 tax increase and the subsequent period of economic growth as evidence that deficit reduction through tax hikes is a pro-growth policy. What these proponents ignore, however, is that the tax increases occurred at a time when the economy was recovering from recession and strong growth was to be expected. They also ignore that the real acceleration in the economy began in 1997, when economic growth should have cooled. This acceleration in growth coincided with a powerful pro-growth tax cut."

    You are incorrect. Money in the hands of government follows the law of diminishing returns. Leaving that money in the hands of businesses leads to growth. Hindering growth leads to less revenue in spite of the appearance of the short-term gain. We can start a war and really stimulate the economy, right? It is not sustainable.

    The Dem platform is to ban guns. They elected a president that works to ban guns. "The President says he wants to ban assault weapons, high capacity magazines, and he wants to require background checks for all gun sales." Where Dems have more control, like in California, they are more aggressive. I never claimed that "All Dems" want to ban guns. Many of my Dem friends have been buying guns. Some are not Dems anymore after going through the process required to exercise their second amendment rights.

    Whether or not Clinton inherited an upswing, do you believe that his 1993 tax increases, which have remained on the books throughout his presidency, have negatively affected Gingrich and Kasich 1995 - 2000 revenues?

    If so, provide proof.

    Note; Since 2007, I’ve asked the same question to Republicans…..NO RESPONSE, and I know why.

    I am not here defending a party. Republicans, like Democrats, spend our money like thieves with stolen credit cards. I am saying that excessive taxes negatively affect society.

    If we are now throwing citizens in prison for actions they did while president, I want Obama serving time for forcing me to purchase a product. Bush for getting us into a war over weapons of mass destruction.

    All you have to know about Jan 6th was that the protestors had built a gallow, and brought it with them….
