    The January 6 incident in the Capitol Hill building was mentioned and Trump didn't do anything to stop it except tell the groups to go home hours later. He condemned the violence the next day. Trump probably incoted this from the get go. When I found out about this, I was apalled of this and could not believe that this happened and if it were up to be those that invaded Capitol Hill with violence would be paying for it and spend many years in jail. and no parole unless they were good boys and promise to go straight from here on out. Those that cause trpuble and lie cannot be trusted at all and I mean it. Simple as that,

    There are some things you ought to know about Donald Trump; First of all, He is a real estate mogul that knew nothing about politics. He had a TV show called the Apprentice in which you heard him say in a stern voice, You're fired to someone on his show. I found his show to be disgusting. I don't know what had him think he could run for President of the United States. He was never in the military serving the country with pride, or ever held a Government off of any kind.You look at Hilary Clinton and she could have been a great President Better than Trump as I can see because she had political experience not only a first lady to husband Bill Clinton but a Senator from Nre York and Secretary of State under Obama and she served well. I know for a fact that I didn't vote for Trump for unknown reasons. Trump wanted to be a dictator like some rulers in history like Stalin and Hitler. Trump was never Presidential Materialever. He made promises and broke them and He lied and tweeted them. He was a racist and meant it. There are too many things that Trump has done that make me sick and I don't want to talk about it now. I'd done and That's all I'm going to say for now. May do it later.

    It's a question of ethics, not legality. Nothing the Time article mentions is illegal (as far as I know), but there are plenty of unethical things mentioned.

    It becomes a situation where the precedent has been set that the elites can now openly manipulate elections, and apparently, a large portion of the public is ok with that. In a society that complacent, democracy is a joke.

    New video shows the true extent of the danger lawmakers faced at the Capitol

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/poli...9.QCIo2t7EGaDZad0UhEtW1EaBMoTfelplpICe_3CzDvw

    Reports indicate that Trump has no remorse for his actions that prompted the attack o the Capitol. what they fail to say is that psychopaths don't feel remorse , or responsibility like normal people do. They only consider what THEY need and want....... and if it means hurting others........so what??If people die..... it matters little. to them. His psychopathy is the basis of his words and behavior. What many don't seem to realize is that he did not like the everyday tasks of the job of POTUS..... He only relished in the public , and ceremonial parts where he was center stage .......and the perks that reinforced his ego. His malignant narcissism plays a big role in his words and deeds and motives. His psychopathy contributed to him creating a such a large cult like following.

    Partisanship can provide the illusion of comfort.

    We will see. But again, I think they know Trump committed no crime, and a jury will never convict. So they went this route.

    Did you clutch your pearls this much while Antifa was trying to burn down a Federal Courthouse in Portland? How about when BLM and Antifa were burning down Minneapolis or Kenosha?

    It was very concerning. Why wouldn't it be?? One violent situation does not minimize the other. But let's not digress from the topic at hand., which is as serious as any can get.

    The comparison matters because of the difference in media response and in the response of the left. When you spend months downplaying violence from one group, violence is normalized.

    It's complete hypocrisy to see all these people crying "sedition" when they didn't care about comparable attacks on federal property coming from their side.

    You might be generalizing a bit. People DO care and denounce violence.....unless they are the violence makers themselves.
    We don't control the media and what they report. or what they emphasize. If one is unhappy with how the media reports issues.....then let them know . Most media is receptive to feedback.

    Oh they're receptive alright -- to their corporate masters. They're quite good at manipulating people.

    The fact that people are responding this hyperbolically to a relatively less violent protest is evidence enough of that.

    You're right. The BLM and Antifa protests were far more violent and destructive.

    Well at least you don't dispute that it's partisanship.

    There was an affidavit in which when the Proud Boys broke in they had intentions to kill Mike Pence and put a bullet through Nancy Pelosi's brain. They were doing what Trump wanted them to do to take back the country. This was part of what Rep. Joe Neguse read and said. I found this to be horrific.

    I have no doubts that Donald Trump had something to do with the Capitol break in and pre planned the violence that went with it. Trump ordered the Proud Boys to teach politicians a lesson that they never had stolen the election from him. He wanted to win and wanted to be the dictator. Trump didn't follow rules as President like those in the past and when you're President of The United States, you have to follow rules like everyone else and that's all there is to it. Trump didn't follow rules and that's why he got himself impeached twice. Anyone that voted for Trump ought to be sorry they voted for him in 2016 and 2020, Simpla as that.
