    Exactly. Does "Fight for 15" ring a bell in anyone's mind? Or is that getting memory-holed now too?

    Well...he also asked for a march on the Capitol and told them that if they wanted to take their country back (from whom?) they'd have to be strong. Anyhow...Trump's history in eight days and we can wait to see if the investigation of the Capitol riot leads to indictments and trials. I suspect there will be many and perhaps the President himself. Then a jury can decide, after he's had numerous opportunities to testify under oath.

    50 cops injured, 1 killed = Jaywalking to Trump supporter.

    I don’t think he should face criminal charges, just impeached.

    No idea, call the fbi and ask what they’ve been told by the terrorists. Then ask if they told him these people were going to get violent and why he still held the rally.

    Ah, so Trump spent the last 2 months lying to his supporters about the election being stolen from him due to fraud, simply so that he can gather all of his mindless, seditious goons into DC to "peacefully" cheer Pence and other Republicans into committing a coup to actually steal the election away from Biden?

    Is that what you're really going with? LOL

    It's a pathetic argument. The actions prove the incitement. Quotes could be code or ignored. Doesn't matter. We have it all on video. The nail in the coffin is Trump not immediately going on TV to quell the insurrection. He cowered in private while cheering them on. Guilty. Open and shut.

    Is that why Hillary never had charges brought to her? For her illegal use of un unsecured server?

    LOL, you go with that.

    He asked them to walk down to the Capitol and cheer. You certainly can do that from outside. It's done regularly.

    More people went to jail from the Russian investigation than the Benghazi investigation - and it was a Republican committee
    that investigated Benghazi and found no actionable evidence.

    And Trump allowed 6 people to die by the hands of his mindless, seditious traitors. In under 8 days, neither will Trump! LOL

    Yup. On the Republican side except for 7 of them who approved of impeachment, everything I heard from them was one of two things: either whataboutism, or it was deflection to gripes about Democrats.

    But regarding deflection, let me deflect!
    Republicans booed Cori Bush on the House floor because she denounced white supremacy and called for a multi-racial democracy!

    So which party is it again that is racist?

    I think the WH said they expected up to 20 Republicans to vote for impeachment.

    Due process occurs in the senate trial. Guessing he won’t bother to participate in this one either.
