"Federal prosecutors offered an ominous new assessment of last week’s siege of the U.S. Capitol by President Donald Trump’s supporters on Thursday, saying in a court filing that rioters intended “to capture and assassinate elected officials.” Hi Phil, Re: rioters intended “to capture and assassinate elected officials.” Due to their frenzy at actually getting into the buildings, I have no doubt that they would have killed any number of elected officials.

Speaking of: Breitbart’s Audience Has Dropped 72% Since Trump Took Office – As Other Right-Wing Sites Have Gained "But by June, the most recent month for which figures are available, Breitbart dropped to sixth — behind such upstarts as the Philip Anschutz-backed Washington Examiner (10.0 million), Washington Times (6.7 million), Glenn Beck’s The Blaze (6.0 million) and the Tucker Carlson-founded Daily Caller (5.0 million). (Fox News, of course, dwarfed them all with 103.2 million visitors.)" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And they tried to use fear and violence to stop a specific proceeding of the first branch of the federal government which they did not like.” Mr. McConnell made the remarks on his last full day as majority leader, speaking on the eve of President-elect Joseph R. Biden Jr.’s inauguration and as the Senate was bracing to receive a single article of impeachment from the House charging Mr. Trump with “incitement of insurrection.” Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CygnusX-1 43 #81 January 20, 2021 I want to be the first one on record to say that Congress needs to immediately start articles of impeachment on Biden right now. Or at the very least invoke the 25th amendment because Biden is too old and senile. Just look what he has already done as president. We now have another do-nothing president and things need to change. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Need to wait until he is president in order to impeach. If Biden was a real man after he uttered the words "so help me God", he would have had the SS bring up a folding table and chair on stage and start signing executive orders undoing every one Trump signed. That would be real leadership. Instead what did he do? Give a speech. Have a parade. Shake some hands. And only hours later start signing executive orders. WHAT A LOSER. BABY! SAD!

Jerry Baumchen The Supreme Court just let him off the hook for his egregious emoluments violations. I did not read the decision but I think the idea was now that he's no longer president it's all moot. What a gong show. If Trump get's away with both theft and fomenting insurrection in a coup attempt nothing will stop a smarter person from actually pulling it off next time around. Make no mistake about it: there is someone far cleverer than Trump eyeing his chances. Edited January 25, 2021 by JoeWeber There are now two F's in off.

Faicon9493 141 #97 January 26, 2021 Nikki Haley has come out saying, "Give Trump a break." Before Paul Ryan left DC, he was like, "Give him a break. He's new at this." It was said that up to 130,000 lives may have been saved if not for Trump's lies and incompetence. I recall that Obama was attacked by Republicans over his handling of Ebola. Two Americans died. Just sayin'......... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil1111 1,149 #98 January 26, 2021 Trump sends a message to Senate Republicans ahead of his trial Screw with me and I'll screw with you. One would think that threatening members of the senate would be dishonorable if not impeachable.But for the trump party anything goes. "The message from Brian Jack, Trump’s former political director at the White House, is the latest sign that Republicans considering an impeachment conviction will do so knowing that Trump may come after them in upcoming primaries if they vote to convict him for “incitement of insurrection.” Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
johnhking1 96 #99 January 26, 2021 I don't think Trump should have been impeached a second time and not because he doesn't deserve it. He is now out of office so the reason to impeach him in that regard is moot. There is a chance that there will not be enough votes in the Senate to convict him. Trump loves attention and the impeachment will help keep him in the news. He still has a lot of supporters that may not react well. If he is not convicted, it is just like him to take advantage of that and boast " they impeached me twice and couldn't convict me so I did nothing wrong. If they take the steps to prevent him from running for president again, that looks to me that they are afraid he may run and possibly get elected. Just let him play golf in Florida, eat his big Mac's, keep him out of the news and keep your fingers crossed that he fades away. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Benghazi, Emails, Hillary Clinton, all gets brought up constantly. President encourages sedition, there should be a trial. Let the GOP show they do not care about this and feel people should not be punished. Let the party of Law & Order take that stance. Force them to air their opinion. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
