Democrats will stand trial for inciting violence.

He called for and incited a mob. It is exactly like yelling fire in a crowded theater.

The government doesn't get to tell you what you can't say when you become the President.

impeachment is both political and legal

If this weren't a show trial that might be true. This is a horrible abuse of power. Some of these members of Congress like to talk about how afraid they were on that day. Well normal Americans are afraid of our government because they do this kind of thing.

Normal Americans usually don't even get a trial.

So your position is that Congress gets to regulate the speech of the President?

This is just wrong on many levels. "Yelling fire in a crowded theater" is not protected speech. What Trump said is protected speech. So it's not the same thing. Can't you see that?

Your whole line "reasoning" attempting to paint this entire matter as a "free speech" issue is wrong-headed, misleading, incorrect, and ridiculous.

Prosecutoral misconduct is a serious problem.

I agree.

43 GOP Senators are now on the record as supporting Trump's actions.

In early September 2002, the CIA briefed Pelosi and other top members on the House Intelligence Committee about the enhanced interrogation techniques. The members and staffers “questioned the legality of these techniques if other countries would use them,” but the CIA’s Counterterrorism Center legal staff deleted from a draft memo that sentence, according to the Senate Intelligence Committee’s new report. Rodriguez, who was CTC director at the time, replied in an email, “short and sweet.”

How often are minutes deleted to protect the perceived prestige of American public officials?

[Kidlicious]

You have serious problems JR. This isn't hard. Congress can't tell people what they can and can't say, even other branches of government. Not constitutionally anyway. But I guess that's so hard to understand that you call others who understand idiot.

[-Jrabbit]

It's over. Not impeached. I expected that outcome, and I accept it.
Your perception of the actual issues involved remains both simpleminded and incorrect.
Fine. You never change, and we're all used to that. I can move on. But if you're just here to launch personal attacks, FU, and get a life.

Meanwhile, I look forward to the criminal prosecution of the Capitol attackers who perpetrated the events of January 6th. As a law-and-order guy and patriotic American, I'm sure you'll agree.

[Kidlicious]

Not only do you want guilty prosecuted but you want people denied the right to free speech, to not want people to have the right to say "Fight for your country." So don't talk to me about law and order because you're an authoritarian and I don't share your beliefs.

Coming from the guy who still believes Trump won the election based on nothing but Trumps lies...
And as usual, even though you don't understand the constitution, you have to claim anybody that disagrees with your opinion are the ones that don't understand....

Ming made me plonk "Prolific Troll" (nothin' personal, but it fit three of the other four qualified members, and Paddy, too, for all I know) but "This isn't even my final form!" or "This IS my final form!" certainly have a ring to them...
