BJ, to be clear. He lied about getting a BJ in deposition. And a bunch of R Senators who were in office at the time voted to convict him, then 21 years later voted to acquit Trump for inciting an insurrection.
That's a loaded question. The easy answer is that Trump shouldn't have to do anything, it's a police matter. But lets ignore that. I think it's clear that Trump didn't much care about what was happening, but it's also just as obvious that this wasn't an armed attack on congress. It was at worst a riot, and at best a clown show. The idiots stopped to pose for pictures, they cracked open the booze cabinets and walked out with the lectern. Clearly a few of them intended to do real damage, perhaps even murder, and those folks need to go to jail.One question for you, would a person who did not want an insurrection, refuse to act when told the capitol is under attack, the VP has been evacuated and being begged for help?
The Capitol police were overwhelmed and Trump is in charge of federal law enforcement and the national guard, which is what the Capitol police were requesting. It was absolutely, unquestionably his duty to act. He should have been impeached for that dereliction of duty all by itself.That's a loaded question.

So did Trump want it to happen? My hunch is no, for the simple reason that it made him look bad. Was he upset that it happened, again, I'd say no, he wasn't. My hunch is that he was flattered by it.
I read him as “dont stoop to their level” - also, you educated, you should know better. I can see that... But then again there comes a point where it just is two sides and your side must win at all cost... It sort of depends on how you read the situation at hand.Oh no. We’re dehumanizing the dehumanizers. How sad. This is the whole “intolerant left“ crap, for not tolerating intolerance. Cart before horse. Cause and Effect.
Clinton was guilty of having sex with an intern, not exactly the same as an attempt by a crazed, angry mob to overthrow an election trump lost fair and square.
It's not the President's responsibility to make sure that Congress and the Vice President are properly protected, or to send in the National Guard to stop a threat? That would be true if the police, or even congress had the security clearance to receive all information to such perceived threats before hand, or they had the authority to call in the national guard. But they don't. That is all on Trump and/or his administration.That's a loaded question. The easy answer is that Trump shouldn't have to do anything, it's a police matter. But lets ignore that.

It was, in fact, an armed attack on Congress and the Constitution so you are wrong about that and pretty much everything else in your post.That's a loaded question.

By the way.... did anyone listen closely to what little Lindsey said about his recent conversation with Trump? Lindsey said that Trump was "excited and looking forward to 2022". NOT 2024 as one might expect, but Trump said 2022. Makes me wonder if Trump thinks that he can start a new political party and run for president in the midterms? Or, to pull something sneaky and no doubt illegal off in the 2022 midterms? It makes sense that Donald Trump would not want to wait until 2024, after all that would be 4 long years of waiting, no.... Trump wants to return to power much sooner than 2024. Trump wants his comeback to take place in 2022, and I bet dollars to doughnuts that Donald Trump has a plan to make that happen. Stand down and stand by
he's planning to primary the republicans who voted with the democrats to get more like Greene in office.By the way.... did anyone listen closely to what little Lindsey said about his recent conversation with Trump?

He's not kissing Trump's ass. He's deep throating Trump's cock. Specially when he said Lara Trump is the Future of the GOP (at the 0:36 mark):You're reading way TOO much in what Lady Graham said. He's just kissing Trump's ass while at the same time wanting his help for Republicans in the 2022 elections. Much like the last 4 years, Trump has no plan but lusts for power and admiration. His influence will likely be huge in 2022 but there ain't no way he's back on top until 2024. God help us if that happens.

Also, why was Trump being asked to make a statement to get the rabid fucks to back down?If the bolded is correct then why did trump send the NG to DC and some states for the BLM protests? I would think an insurrection against Congress would normally be a higher priority that protests for justice in the states.
Opinion | Trump's National Guard deployments shouldn't be legal. Here's how to stop them.
A path has been laid for future presidents to make the National Guard their own personal security force. Unless we act, we are inviting future abuses.www.nbcnews.com
If an official cannot be impeached once they no longer hold office (as McConnel and Alan Dershowitz have argued), what's the point of the provision banning them from standing for office in the future? That provision is never going to be used, because anyone concerned they are about to be impeached can just resign before it happens and so retain the ability to run for office again.
Might as well repeal that clause as it's useless. Seems odd it was ever put in there in the first place. Those framers really didn't know what they were doing, did they?
Fuck off with that.
Our opponents have repugnant beliefs. Those who have committed crimes (especially the former President) should be prosecuted for those crimes, tried in a court of law, and be sentenced accordingly.
But THEY ARE HUMAN. Wrong, misguided, even flat out evil humans. But human nonetheless. The moment you deny that is the moment that you yourself become evil.

Yes, they made that exact point at the trial and the repugs were evidently unphased.
Obfuscate more. Trump cared very much about what happened or he wouldn't have initiated it. He set it up even before he lost the election, claiming fraud before the votes were even cast. He followed thru trying to convince state legislatures to overturn the will of their voters, filing over 60 loser lawsuits, impeding the Electoral College & finally summoning & sending a mob to stop Congress from accepting the results. Only thru chaos could he stay in power. It just didn't work out in his favor. Doesn't mean he didn't try, which he obviously did.
