I have been a dedicated and involved Liberal since the late 1960s. There is nothing at all new about putting people first rather than corporations.
T**** put himself first, his greedy friends second, his White supremacist supporters third, and the public last, and he got roundly and fittingly trounced. Now his only purpose in life is to serve as a worst case scenario in Political Science dissertations for the next hundred years or so.
You may want to consider that when you back your next candidate. I sure will.
You refuted NOTHING, and went right to TDS spitted conjecture.
We know the Republicans are scared of the MAGAs.... They have have to live in those red states with the monster they created. I don't blame them either. Let them vote to aquit like the cowards they are. It is what it is.
Liz Cheney--- (R Wyoming) The third-highest ranking Republican leader in the House explains it accurately and eloquently:
"On January 6, 2021 a violent mob attacked the United States Capitol to obstruct the process of our democracy and stop the counting of presidential electoral votes. This insurrection caused injury, death and destruction in the most sacred space in our Republic.
"Much more will become clear in coming days and weeks, but what we know now is enough. The President of the United States summoned this mob, assembled the mob, and lit the flame of this attack. Everything that followed was his doing. None of this would have happened without the President. The President could have immediately and forcefully intervened to stop the violence. He did not. There has never been a greater betrayal by a President of the Unite3d States of his office and his oath to the Constitution."
Total bull. They had warning at least 2 days before that there was going to be violence and anarchy at the capitol. Pelosi and McConnell turned down additional police and security. According to the sergeant at arms, they didn't want the optics of a bunch of police or NG around Capitol. There were fb and twitter posts of antifa dressing up like trump supporters to cause them to get blame. There is video of antifa changing out of their black clothing into trump supporter looking clothes, behind some trees.

How do you know it was Antifa dressing up as Trump supporters and not the reverse? The Proud Boys announced before the rally that they would do just that. FBI has identified people like the guy in black who used an official police shield to break a window (both supposedly hallmarks of Antifa) and it was actually one of the Proud Boys. https://www.businessinsider.com/prou...l-black-2021-1 https://meaww.com/dominic-pezzola-pr...e-pence-pelosi
This situation is complex and there are many layers of what was going on that are still being revealed. There is a lot to unravel and is looking like there were at least 3 different types of people there that day. Protestors, rioters, and conspirators.
I will just say that I can think of a case where the person never actually murdered any one themselves or even told people directly to do it, but they definitely were found to be responsible for inciting what happened because of the atmosphere and ideology they created.
I am not accusing Trump of murder by mentioning that case. I am just pointing out that someone can have not directly done the crime or told anyone to do it, but absolutely can have incited it.
