    But back here in reality he didn't say anything remotely like that.

    So you’re putting words in his mouth and setting up a straw man? /golfclap

    If Biden said he wanted to fight Trump behind the bleachers, you’d say he wanted to hug him:)

    Months? I contend he spent his entire term getting them riled up.

    What a blatantly dishonest quote. Here's the actual transcript:

    All part of an ongoing attempt to convince the America people that China Joe is a legitimate President.

    Sure, but I was just referring to the time after his sweeping election defeat....

    Perfectly valid quote... I cut out as much of the nonsense and mindless repetitions and tangents as I could...

    I can definitely see how throughout history people have been so easily manipulated.

    Its happening as we speak. Watching the left go down this path of authoritarianism and fascism while accusing everyone else of it was shocking at first, but at this point I simply understand that social engineering works and they are falling for it.

    It wont work forever, and will have a huge backlash within the next decade or so. Or so I predict, and thus far my predictions have been on point.

    God I hope so. They hold all the reins of power, we are about to find out what oppression looks like. I doubt this bulletin board will survive. They are coming for EVERYTHING.

    No, it was dishonest. You cut out the stated purpose for walking down to the Capitol. He asked them to walk down Pennsylvania Avenue to the Capitol to cheer Republicans.

    If what happened last Wednesday isn't enough to impeach him for the true believers, I don't think anything will ever be enough. We've heard the excuses for the ever increasing insanity in the WH for four years, so this is nothing new. Except, that there was a possibility that the true believers would come around last week. I guess they slinked back into their RW media echo chamber, where the continuing make believe is that it was all the Dems fault. Convenient, so the Trump fans don't have to look into the mirror.

    The puppet masters who manipulated the downfall of Trump use sophisticated perception management and advertising technology to achieve their goals. I see this as beyond social engineering. Rather it is information warfare. What we are seeing now is very similar to the information warfare used by the US to achieve regime change as documented in this book.

    1 week left to Trump's presidency and no due process. Our government is heading down a very bad road. If they vote to impeach this will set up a very bad precedence. This won't help unite the country, it will create more radical extremists. Did the US not learn from the mistakes it made which helped radical Islamic groups to enlist more jihadists?

    I wonder if even you really believe this. I think if you take all of tumps incessant conspiracy theory rants into consideration, the way he conducts discourse, the tone in which he speaks - the speech was the lit match on the gasoline. I don't think the riot occurs sans the speech and I believe most objective people have come to the same conclusion.
    Trump is a cancer that needs removing sooner than later. His filth has already metastasized to an alarming level.

    Two absurd comments (JT3534 & Mood). Democrats had won the Presidency, held the House and taken back the Senate. Pence had already told Trump that he did not have the power to overturn the State certified electoral count. Democrats held the House and to act on anything other than agreeing to the State certifications required a majority of BOTH the House and the Senate. The outcome was in favor of the Democrats. Why then would they back the disruption of a process they'd already essentially won?

    Yes, I absolutely believe that President Trump's stated purpose for protesters to walk down Pennsylvania Avenue to the Capitol was to cheer on Republican Representatives and Senators. That is obviously fact.

    These quotes are in no way inciting people to violence. Otherwise you could impeach most every president ever as I'm sure most have said they'll 'fight' for something.

    This is pathetic.

    What's it like being consumed with hatred for a politician? I've never seen anything like what the left has displayed over the past 4 years.

    Now, gimme your pathetic comparison to obama trying to claim the right behaved in the same way.....I look forward to it.

    Why then did not publicly demand an end to the attack on the Capitol. And, we he finally did "tweet" recognition of the Capitol attack, he tweeted they (the criminals we watched breaking and entering the Capitol and battling Capitol police, stealing, etc.) should go home, but he loved them.

    We're not "moving on." Crimes were committed. An investigation has to be done, indictments and trials accomplished.

    You seem confused. "Go home" was asking for the protest at the Capitol to end.

    I'm watching it live and I can't believe how butt hurt some of the republicans whining about how mean and nasty dems have been to their Dear Leader. Seems they are now decrying the "divisive" rhetoric of the left but some how ignore any role that the subject of the impeachment might have had in upping the hate speech and prompting outraged reactions from democrats.

    Calling for moving forward and forgetting the sins of the Trump Administration. Reminds me of the husband that got caught cheating and thinks a simple sorry, I love you is sufficient to return to "normal".

    Amazing chutzpah. Who knew it was the Dems fault and who would have predicted that the trumplicans would throw up whatabout false equivalencies and decry the BLM racial unrest. Gee its almost like the trumplican congressmen are members of this community.

    OK.

    Close your eyes and imagine Obama had done the EXACT same things when Hillary lost in 2016. That he had spent weeks
    claiming fraud, that he had tried to convince VP Biden to ignore legal Electors, that he had lost 60 straight court cases
    trying to prove an illegal election, that he had called the SoS of Georgia and pleaded with him to "Find" votes, that
    he had called a crowd of his supporters to march to the Capitol and the march got out of hand and some of his supporters
    had stormed the capitol and killed a police officer and injured 50 others ...

    Imagine that.
    Now you might understand why some people might be calling for impeachment and removal. Or, you are
    not being honest with yourself.

    And Mitch says not to Senate trial! Won't happen before Trump leaves office. Political grandstanding that will only impact Biden's first 100 days.
