    Trump is a pathetic excuse for a person.

    The cabinet needs to grow some balls and invoke the 25th. Trump promised a wild day. *******!!!

    He can do a lot more damage in two weeks. He's already given both chambers and the WH to team blue.

    Your sympathy and defense of terrorism is noted.

    Will you at least muster the character required to condemn these terrorists? This shouldn't be a difficult request, and yet, it seems to be so.

    MSNBC just reported the woman who was shot today had died... I don't know anything about how she was shot, but I'm assuming if there wasn't a mob storming the Capitol, it wouldn't have happened....

    Yea leftist protests are orchestrated by the elites and aimed at middle class and working Americans.... punching down. The rights actions today were aimed at the puppets of the elites.... punching up.... WAY UP. This was a watershed moment and there will probably be many many more in the next few years as the union possibly disintegrates. It is a great time to make your move away from any major metropolitan area, the further the better. I have 160 acres in the north woods of Wisconsin so I think I am covered.

    And they just reported that she died. So yet another victim of Trump's incompetence.

    In response to a terrorist attack: "Buh . . . buh . . . the targets of the terrorist attack had a low approval rating!!!!!!"

    Oh now it's "terrorism". I have no obligation to repeat myself by position is spelled in #300. Either deal it or stop your whining and making fallacious claims about my position. And note you dodging my pointing out your not so routinely and lightweight condemning Antifa.

    You are wrong.

    On the only day that matters, election day, they have a 90+% approval rating.

    Anybody who votes for an incumbent is complicit.

    I no longer pay for TV. Cut the cord about a year ago. I sort of lost confidence in CNN after watching their theatrics on the TV at the gym I went to before Covid. But if this is happening there is still hope for our country.
    The irony of liberals supporting the police!

    I understand it's 2/3 to remove from office, but only majority to disqualify from future office, post removal....

    SNIP
    Per the Cornell Law School Legal Information Institute: "Unlike removal, disqualification from office is a discretionary judgment, and there is no explicit constitutional linkage to the two-thirds vote on conviction. Although an argument can be made that disqualification should nonetheless require a two-thirds vote, the Senate has determined that disqualification may be accomplished by a simple majority vote."
    ENDSNIP

    You would know that if you had read the article I posted, but it seems I have to go the extra mile...

    Yes. Yes it is.

    #300 didn't address my question and, in fact, proved what I was saying about you.

    I've made no "fallacious" claim about your position. Everything I've said about your position has been proven and I have provided evidence. I'm sorry if you can't figure out the who search feature thing, but I've condemned antifa for their violence, and did so without trying to change the subject to the right. I've repeatedly asked you to do something similar and you have repeatedly run away. Wonder why.

    Storming the capitol is proof of fraud?

    You need a rethink on that.

    I agree. I think that Congress should just take advantage of the fact that they are already convened and do a flash Impeachment. It could take as little time as it takes to summon the Chief Justice.

    There is not even a need to call witnesses, because everybody in Congress is already a witness.

    No, those terrorist idiots don't care about evidence. A photo of violent idiots who won't consider evidence is not substitute for evidence. Do you really need someone to explain why? Is this honestly something that confuses you? I'd hate to assume that you can't understand this.

    There's not much to re-read in your posts, you've never been able to cite sources to your claims. You just say it's reality, as if "because I said so" is a reasonable source to an outlandish claim

    Because they engaged in violence injured law enforcement in order to take over a government building and stop a peaceful transfer of power. Are you honestly trying to tell me you are incapable of understanding this?
