now, trump is the only president to have been impeached twice. i disagreed with both impeachments incidents, though. 

they said he incited a riot. i disagree. at most he egged them on, but he didn't say to riot. in fact, at one point he told them to 'peacefully' and 'patriotically' go to the capitol. 

the liberals can't rationally defend impeachment. the actions of the president dont match up with the charges. all liberals care about is makin trump look bad, and kicking him on his way out the door. facts be damned.

That riot was a culmination of Trump peddling nonsensical election theft conspiracies for weeks on end. I fail to see how he isn't entirely culpable.

of course. he incited an insurrection against democracy. He has been feeding them a pack of lies for months about he won in a landslide but it was secretly stolen. He told that crowd they had to do something about it. He told them they had to retake their country with strength. His personal attorney told them that same morning they needed a trial by combat. 

And that doesn't even get into his actions during the riot. He reportedly resisted calling in the national guard and pence needed to do it. He failed to make a statement for hours while people were dying. When he finally did make a statement, he repeated all the lies that were causing them to attack the capitol in the 1st place thus egging them on even more.

There is a strong probability that impeachment will substantially reduce Trump's influence, and it would prevent him from running in 2024 provided that the senate convicts and passes a post-conviction resolution on eligibility to hold office. Trump has been a divisive politician and his lies have significantly worsened post-truth politics. Reducing his influence in the future is good for the future. As to whether or not he actually is guilty of inciting an insurrection - What do you base your factual position on? It's obvious that Trump was well within the chain of causation that led to the attack on the capitol. His personal lawyer was up there and said "Lets have trial by combat!" I doubt his lawyer would have said that without Trump's approval given how deferent the lawyer has been to Trump in the past.

From a Conservative web site: In a speech of about 14 minutes that the leftist mainstream media ignored on Tuesday, President Trump argued this case.
He won the election on November 3 with landslide numbers, he said, but 11th-hour vote fraud gave “President-elect” Joe Biden the victory.
Indeed, Trump said, Biden’s vote total was statistically impossible, a conclusion that comports with the massive vote fraud the president claims occurred.
Trump’s convincing appeal — which won’t matter to hate-Trump Democrats and Republicans — did not include hints about what he might do given that he believes Biden and his gang — with the help of the leftist social and mainstream media — robbed him. 
But he did say Americans can’t let stand an election won by fraud and fakery.

 Trump is guilty of Criminal Negligence. 
Criminal negligence refers to conduct in which a person ignores a known or obvious risk, or disregards the life and safety of others. Federal and state courts describe this behavior as a form of recklessness, where the person acts significantly different than an ordinary person under similar circumstances.

I agree with this assessment. Not sure whether it necessarily warrants a 2nd impeachment, but I know I won't be voting for him anytime soon, even though I was all set to before this all went down. 

As I've said before:

Trump created a hungry, uncontrollable monster, pointed it towards food, and then asked it to sit quietly.

so if someone tells a crowd to do something about injustice, and tot take back the country with strength.... you are responsible for inciting a riot if that crowd turns riotous?

i can't believe you can't see how the first thing is no where near causing the second thing. your position is irrational.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?" (also expressed as "troublesome priest" or "meddlesome priest") is a quote attributed to Henry II of England preceding the death of Thomas Becket, the Archbishop of Canterbury, in 1170. While the quote was not expressed as an order, it prompted four knights to travel from Normandy to Canterbury, where they killed Becket. The phrase is commonly used in modern-day contexts to express that a ruler's wish may be interpreted as a command by his or her subordinates.

Purportedly upon hearing the king's words, four knights—Reginald FitzUrse, Hugh de Morville, William de Tracy and Richard le Breton—traveled from Normandy to Canterbury with the intention of forcing Becket to withdraw his excommunication, or, alternatively, taking him back to Normandy by force.  The day after their arrival, they confronted Becket in Canterbury Cathedral. When Becket resisted their attempts to seize him, they slashed at him with their swords, killing him.  Although nobody, even at the time, believed that Henry directly ordered that Becket be killed, his words had started a chain of events that was likely to have such a result.   Moreover, as Henry's harangue had been directed not at Becket, but at his own household, the four probably thought that a failure to act would be regarded as treachery, potentially punishable by death.

Following the murder, Becket was venerated and Henry was vilified. There were demands that the king be excommunicated. Pope Alexander forbade Henry to hear mass until he had expiated his sin. In May 1172, Henry did public penance in Avranches Cathedral.

According to Alfred H. Knight, the phrase "had profound long-term consequences for the development of constitutional law" because its consequences forced the king to accept the benefit of clergy, the principle that secular courts had no jurisdiction over clergy.

It has been said that the phrase is an example of "direction via indirection", in that it provides the speaker with plausible deniability when a crime is committed as a result of their words.

The New York Times commented that even though Henry might not actually have said the words, "in such matters historical authenticity may not be the point".  The phrase has been cited as an example of the shared history with which all British citizens should be familiar, as part of "the collective memory of their country".

In a 2009 BBC documentary on the Satanic Verses controversy, journalist and newsreader Peter Sissons described a February 1989 interview with the Iranian chargé d'affaires in London, Mohammad Mehdi Akhondzadeh Basti. The position of the Iranian government was that the fatwa against Salman Rushdie declared by Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khomeini was "an opinion". Sissons described this argument as being "a bit like the, 'who will rid me of this turbulent priest', isn't it?"

In a 2017 appearance before the Senate Intelligence Committee, former FBI director James Comey testified that US President Donald Trump had told him that he "hoped" Comey could "let go" of any investigation into Michael Flynn; when asked if he would take "I hope", coming from the president, as a directive, Comey answered, "Yes. It rings in my ears as kind of 'Will no one rid me of this meddlesome priest?'"

If the Senate votes to dismiss and acquit the charges, Trump will have 2 more acquittals than Nixon, and one more than Clinton.

Also, he will be the only president exonerated from House charges while not a  president.

Well, he murdered his niece when he found out she'd been cheating on him but fleas?  There is no direct evidence Hitler ever knowingly killed a flea.

 Most criminals work hard to make sure they're never recorded actually ordering the commission of a crime.  Hitler never killed any Jews and there is no hard evidence  public or private that Hitler ever directly ordered the death of any Jew or even knew that Jews were being exterminated en masse.  Hitler worked hard to make sure he was not connected to the crime.  To remain intellectually consistent, Trump apologists must argue that Hitler is therefore blameless for the Holocaust.

That violates his oath of office. And is a hair short of treason.

except it has been by every single court and law enforcement agency that has looked at this. And that is alot of courts and law enforcement agencies. 

His personal attorney told them that same morning they needed a trial by combat. 
Did the State choose a champion? Was the The Donald clad in armor? No? Then this is irrelevant, albeit hilarious.
no, his supporters picked up guns, spears and pipe bombs etc. and led an armed assault on the capitol resulting in the deaths of several people. 

And that doesn't even get into his actions during the riot. He reportedly resisted calling in the national guard and pence needed to do it.
Because they were invited and let in.
what? there is tons of footage of police being attacked by the insurrectionists. Once they had already breached the building the police pulled back to defend the people inside the building. 

He failed to make a statement for hours while people were dying.
So?
he incited an insurrection against the US government. His actions as that violent insurrection were being carried out are important. He did nothing to stop it for hours. And even then egged them on by repeating the lies which triggered the attack in the 1st place. 

When he finally did make a statement, he repeated all the lies that were causing them to attack the capitol in the 1st place thus egging them on even more. 
Lies cause attacks?
yes. there are lots of cases in india where someone claims they saw someone eat beef and that person gets lynched. The lie caused the murder. Trump lied and told his cultists that he really won the election and it was being stolen. And that they needed to use strength to prevent this. The cultists then attacked the capitol resulting in the deaths of at least 5 people. His lies and incitement caused that attack. His lies triggered a terrorist attack.

he spent months getting them fired up on lies. he convinced them the election was stolen. he convinced them that they personally had to do something to stop it. He told them to assemble on that specific day in that specific place where the results of the election would confirm he lost. He told them to march there and take action. His associates told them they needed to use violence (a trial by combat). 

Well they listened. they believed his lies. They believed he really won and it was stolen. They believed that pence could do something about it and was refusing (he couldn't). They listened when he told them to gather there are march on the capitol. They listened when they were told they had to personally do something to stop the election results. They listened when they were told violence was needed. 

And we all saw the results. Trump is guilty of inciting an attack on the US government and on democracy. He deserves to be impeached. No one has ever deserved it more. 

When a mob boss tells his hitman to "take care of a guy", we don't say "well he didn't explicitly say to murder him". If that was the level of proof necessary then no high level mobster would ever be convicted of anything. Trump did incite them to attack the capitol, in the same way a mob boss gives orders without explicitly saying the crime he wants them to commit.

And if that democracy is corrupt? Does the insurrection violate the oath of his office?

except it has been by every single court and law enforcement agency that has looked at this. And that is alot of courts and law enforcement agencies. 
Which ones?

no, his supporters picked up guns, spears and pipe bombs etc. and led an armed assault on the capitol resulting in the deaths of several people. 
So? How did he incite this? Did he encourage armed conflict? And if so, where in the transcript is this explicitly stated?

what? there is tons of footage of police being attacked by the insurrectionists. Once they had already breached the building the police pulled back to defend the people inside the building. 
And there's footage of these "insurrectionists" being allowed in. There's actually a thread on this forum which reports on this.

he incited an insurrection against the US government. His actions as that violent insurrection were being carried out are important. He did nothing to stop it for hours. And even then egged them on by repeating the lies which triggered the attack in the 1st place. 
Where does he incite insurrection? And please do not cite nebulous terms like "strength" and "fight" which are contingent on the context. Case in point: I am currently fighting against your opinion right now.

yes. there are lots of cases in india where someone claims they saw someone eat beef and that person gets lynched. The lie caused the murder. Trump lied and told his cultists that he really won the election and it was being stolen. And that they needed to use strength to prevent this. The cultists then attacked the capitol resulting in the deaths of at least 5 people. His lies and incitement caused that attack. His lies triggered a terrorist attack. 
According to you and those of your ilk, he's been lying since he was elected. If lies cause attacks, and we control for this, why was this the only "attack" he incited? Why weren't all of his supporters implicated in the instigation of this "terrorist attack"?

It's nonsense like this, and the regurgitation through sheepish devotees of "the LEFT," that gives birth to contrarians like the Donald.

i'm not sure i know what you mean by "democracy is corrupt". that could mean alot of things. but generally speaking, yes, it absolutely violates his oath of office. 

except it has been by every single court and law enforcement agency that has looked at this. And that is alot of courts and law enforcement agencies. 
Which ones?
off the top of my head, the courts in every contested state in the dozens of lawsuits (none of which came up with actual evidence of any sort of crime or fraud). the FBI and the US justice department. 

So? How did he incite this? Did he encourage armed conflict? 
yes. 

And if so, where in the transcript is this explicitly stated?
you don't need to explicitly confess something to be guilty of it. If a mob boss tells his hit man to take care of a guy and then the hit man goes out and kills him, the mob boss ordered the murder even though he didn't say the words "go commit a murder". 

According to you and those of your ilk, he's been lying since he was elected. 
hundreds and hundreds of times, yes that is very well established. 

If lies cause attacks, and we control for this, why was this the only "attack" he incited?
it's not. he has incited attacks before. this example is just far more direct and egregious. 

Why weren't all of his supporters implicated in the instigation of this "terrorist attack"?
The FBI is hunting down the people who engaged in this attack as we speak. 

It's nonsense like this, and the regurgitation through sheepish devotees of "the LEFT," that gives birth to contrarians like the Donald.
ahh yes. punishing someone for inciting an attack on the US government in nonsense. If this isn't impeachable, literally nothing is.

I think the Left and the media are equally culpable of the riots.  If they had not lied about the fact that there was evidence about a mass fraud then those who knew that such evidence was real would not have felt so threatened. 

When the Left and the media denied the reality of the evidence - then it meant that unless good people did something about it - then evil would win. 

I think Trump being impeached is a last effort ditch by Pelosi to try and destroy the man who continues to make her look like a fool.

lol, so "the left" says fraud didn't happen. Which is backed up by everyone who has actually looked into it. so clearly "the left" is to blame for psychotic people attacking democracy for daring to describe a reality they don't want to hear.

When the Left and the media denied the reality of the evidence - then it meant that unless good people did something about it - then evil would win. 
what else can "the left" possibly do? there is no evidence. Court case after court case has been thrown out because trump's lawyers couldn't find any evidence. Trump's own justice department as well as the FBI have confirmed they can't find any evidence either. Should the left go along with obvious lies to protect the feelings of delusional people?

I think Trump being impeached is a last effort ditch by Pelosi to try and destroy the man who continues to make her look like a fool. 
no. It is an attempt to prove that actions, even Trump's, have consequences. You can't incite an attack on the US government and get away scot-free. He attempted to overthrow the results of a democratic election in order to cling to power. His followers attacked the US capitol and murdered a police officer to try to help him do it. Trump needs to be punished for that.

This is an anti-American lie.  American institutions great and small, Republican and Democrat, partisan and independent have unanimously determined that there was no mass fraud in the 2020 election.  Continued belief in mass fraud is exclusively willful self-delusion.  There is no rational ground for the continuation of that belief.  At least Flat Earthers can point to the horizon and say that there is an appearance of a straight line.  Trumpists have nothing- no evidence except what they have doctored, no testimony beyond the lies they tell one another.  The Senate Majority leader and the House Minority leader- indeed all senior leadership in the Republican party except Trump agree that MAGA and Trump attacked the United States Capitol and that Republicans alone bear 100% of the culpability for that terrorism.

All this hedging and redirection and  desperate attempts at justification is  not just increasingly pathetic but also increasingly intolerable.

I never said mass fraud did happen.  I said the Left lied about there being no evidence.  These are two separate things.  Do you even know what "evidence" is? 

When the Left and the media denied the reality of the evidence - then it meant that unless good people did something about it - then evil would win. 
what else can "the left" possibly do? there is no evidence. Court case after court case has been thrown out because trump's lawyers couldn't find any evidence. Trump's own justice department as well as the FBI have confirmed they can't find any evidence either. Should the left go along with obvious lies to protect the feelings of delusional people?
To be perfectly honest, unless the Trump campaign were able to find a smoking gun - such as an email from Biden or some member of the democrats saying they okayed the fraud, then the Left would never agree there was any evidence. And if they Trump party did find such an email - then the Left would accuse the Trump campaign of planting it. 

But just for the record, did court even hear the evidence or as you fabricate throw it out - or did they hear legal arguments and decide that there was not sufficient reason to look at any of the so called evidence? 

At least one major case was thrown out before any evidence was produced - because the Supreme Court decided the party bringing the application DID Not have standing.  This is legal argument - not throwing evidence out. Again -two different things 


I think Trump being impeached is a last effort ditch by Pelosi to try and destroy the man who continues to make her look like a fool.

Yes, that is your opinion. He pursued all of his legal avenues through the courts.  The rest is smoke and mirrors.

No it is not a lie.  The Trump campaign clearly had sworn affidavits.  This by definition is evidence. For the Left or the Media to say it is not - it a lie or it is misunderstanding of what evidence is.  Determining that there was no mass fraud is NOT the same thing as saying there was no evidence. The two are quite separate things. 

I don't particularly care who says what about who should be culpable. Yet the - lies and the fabrications of the LEFT and the MEDIA do need to stop.  Trump's supporters are real people to. When Biden says he will govern for all Americans, he is saying he will govern for Trump supporters too.  This means he should not disregard them - or ignore them or treat them like simpletons.
