    I think this guy, better than all my buddies on MSNB/CNN, has made the best argument.

    And the darn thing is, he's a right winger. He's changed his mind about Trump!

    Isn't it about time you did, too?

    The abject fear of Donald Trump from the left and the RINO’s is palpable.

    The key question one ought to ask when discussing prosecuting a president, or any public official is "what did they know? and when did they know it?"

    At most we can say that he knew the crowd was armed, however I'm still skeptical that one could make the case that he knew things would turn violent. If there's any potential crime in Trump's conduct on Jan 6th, in my opinion it is what occurred after the rioting broke out, when Trump refused to act on the capitol police's request to send in the national guard. At that point in time he knew the capitol building was under attack, he knew things were already violent, but according to testimony he outright refused to do anything to stop the rioting.

    What he did prior to the rioting, I would not call a crime, unless it could be proven that he knew things would turn violent.

    That's amazing that you're skeptical of that. What did you think the weapons were for? You thought they'd go rabbit hunting after the rally, or something?

    Which weapons are you referring to again?

    If you're referring to the AR rifles and Glock-style pistols seen at the rally, those were never used in the assault on the capitol

    They are armed, they are carrying glocks, AR 15s, other weaponry, assorted military garb, and if allowed to proceed, the would be with the others chanting 'Stop The Steal' and "hang Mike Pence',

    What could possibly go wrong?
    Yours is only the last item in the list. The scope is much broader than that:
    1. President Trump engaged in a massive effort to spread false and fraudulent information to the American public claiming the 2020 election was stolen from him.
    2. President Trump corruptly planned to replace the Acting Attorney General, so that the Department of Justice would support his fake election claims.
    3. President Trump corruptly pressured Vice President Pence to refuse to count certified electoral votes in violation of the US Constitution and the law.
    4. President Trump corruptly pressured state election officials, and state legislators, to change election results.
    5. President Trump's legal team and other Trump associates instructed Republicans in multiple states to create false electoral slates and transmit those slates to Congress and the National Archives.
    6. President Trump summoned and assembled a violent mob in Washington and directed them to march on the US Capitol.
    7. As the violence was underway, President Trump ignored multiple pleas for assistance and failed to take immediate action to stop the violence and instruct his supporters to leave the Capitol.

    I think it is entertaining. I can't remember when so many Americans feared one man.

    After his first, traitorous go round, even the idea of giving tRaitor tRump the keys again should make every American fearful. He took his ONE (hopefully) chance and made a mockery of it, the Presidency AND These United States.

    Can anyone imagine America's enemies being more pleased than to watch the hilarity of American politics at this moment?

    What exactly is a RINO? I know what the acronym means, I want you to describe one to me. What does it take to be labeled a RINO?

    Anyone with two braincells to rub together fears him being in power again.

    The fact that you don't says something.

    It's a big fictitious object for hate, like "leftist", trumpublicans use to vent and focus their anger; and the RW news makes sure they are full of that. What they don't realize is THEY are the real RINO'S.

    Well, Ron DiInsanes is pretty happy right now.

    Excellent, the wannabe mob boss is getting closer to the noose he himself fashioned. He now needs many fall guys, any volunteers?

    Well, someone needs to save Trumpers from themselves. They are not capable it would seem?

    Assuming Trump doesn't run in 2024, do you think that will end the fixation they have on him?

    What about Pelosi?? She incited and facilitated a failed seditious conspiracy on Congress?

    Putin did not help Trump get elected.

    Yes, he did. The bipartisan Senate report clearly came to the same conclusion. Collusion could not be proven however because the money trail was not allowed to be pursued as the entire GOP was wrapped in the ruble dark money trough at the time.

    Probably to some degree. I would be amazed if the 2024 ballot had either of the 2020 names. Both are toxic. Toxicity is not what we need.

    Well said. But don't expect poprocks to have read either the Senate Report or the Mueller Report.

    In that same speech he told them to go peacefully protest as well. So I don’t think this is put out the same way you’re thinking
