    I agree.

    It does however make me laugh at outrage coming from Stalinists though.

    Trump did not concede. If youndid not hear that again, Trump did not concede. Trump said that there would be a new administration but he failed to say that Biden won. He failed to mention Biden's name.
    Trump failed to admit that he lost the election so he still can maintain that the election was "stolen". So NO the Trump did not concede he just spoke another Trumpocity a,a he lied.

    There was no concession speech just the Trumpocity reading a speech.

    What he did was a form of acceptance - phony, but it is what it is
    He will continue to lie/con his minions about imaginary fraud

    Yes it was an indirect form of acknowledgement that there will be a new sheriff in town Jan 20.

    Yeah right, I guess you forgot about the birth certificate just to start.

    There is one thing Trump did well, he exposed who the real snowflakes are :)

    I just think it's a curious transformation from him being literally Hitler in 2008 to leftist hero in 2020.

    That's pretty common for leftists. They thought Romney was the most evil man on the planet in 2012 and now he's their favorite Republican Senator.

    Yeah, like Trump, unwilling to accept all the crap said about Obama. Why don't you do a comparison how many called McCain Hitler and how many called Obama a Muslim :)

    It is unproven that a President can be impeached after he leaves office. I doubt that it would stand a SCOTUS challenge. Impeachment takes a 2/3rds vote in Congress and the Senate. The Democrats do not have that many members of the legislature. So, your push is totally irrelevant.

    As far as this being the right thing to do, would you have supported AG Barr going after Obama for the illegal investigation that he pushed for? If you could not support that, then why would you push for impeachment.

    President Trump did not do anything to spur the riots. Yet, the DNC wants him to be held accountable for the violence. What about all the Democrats that supported the BLM, ANTIFA or Defund Police riots? Should they be held accountable for the violence in those riots? Are you pushing for them to be removed from office? If not, then your post in hypocritical.

    Also, just because the 25th Amendment will not apply to this event, that does not stop the Democrats from still attempting to use it. Schumer complained that the VP refused to talk to him about using the Amendment. Pelosi also called for using the 25th Amendment to remove the President, and if that does not work, then Impeach him. President Trump has condemned the violence during riots. He has called for those that committed the violence to be arrested. So, what more can, or should, he do?

    The Capital police have arrested 68 people for the violence, and they are looking for 36 more. That is 104 people that they have identified for committing the violence. There were thousand upon thousands of people at the rally. That means that most did not commit violence. Most were patriots exercising their First Amendment Rights.

    What should Trump do? CONCEDE. Tell his minions that Biden is the rightfully elected president. Stop telling them the election was stolen from him.

    Those are just the first few things that come to mind, which ANY decent person who cares about our country would actually do. But, then, Trump never was a decent person.

    It is strange that you can not find these posts yourself. Do you not know how to use Google, Bing or any other search engine? Here is an article that references many post of AOC that supported the Defund the Police riots.

    Sometimes, no response is a response. Show me where the Democrats Senators, Congressmen and Former Presidents denounced or condemned the BLM, ANTIFA or Defund the Police riots. Then we will talk.

    Where did "Donnie" call for insurrection? Please provide evidence for your claim. Exact quotes with video evidence please. And not those edited video's either. Full context.

    Did the Democrats claim that President Trump was the rightfully elected President? They claimed that President stole the election because the popular vote was in favor of Hillary Clinton. They tried to change the US Constitution that states the the President is elected by the Electoral votes and not the popular vote. They even tried to make it so a states Sec of State can override the state's popular votes, and award the state's electoral votes based on the national popular votes. Luckily, the SCOTUS followed the US Constitution, and not the liberal grandstanding. President Trump has conceded the elections. There is also evidence that the election was stolen. I have noted them in numerous posts. Until they are addressed, then the President is right for saying that the elections were stolen by him.

    It is funny that you claim that a decent person who cares about our country would do these things when the DNC has not done so on the 2016 elections. Are you saying that the Democrats are not decent people?

    You will not accept anything that honest Americans tell you about Trump but Ivan play the silly little game one more time. You do not need to actually use the the words insurrection to promote insurrection.listen to what he said, read his tweets even from the last two months. Listen to what Donnie said at his rallies. Donnie pushed the lie of voter fraud. Listen to the comments that the terrorists who were recorded inside the capital and you will hear them spout and repeat the lies of Donnie. Donnie motivated them with his lies. Trump fans will never admit the truth so why do you even bother asking for the truth which you will reject.

    The topic is the 25th amendment not AOC,ANTIFALA, BLM, DEFUND the police or any of that stuff you are spouting out as an obvious attempt as whataboutism in order to confuse the real issue. You are making the accusation so you are obligated to back up your accusations with proof.
    Set up a separate thread if you want to talk about Whataboutisms such as AOC, BLM,ANTIFA, DEFUNDING the police whatever.

    Can we get a sub-forum for accusations of whataboutism?

    Sorry, too many dumb and random thoughts for me to bother responding to point by point... My post was about using impeachment vs the 25th amendment, which is the better idea, if unlikely to succeed...

    There is a huge difference between conceding, and not continuing to contest.

    There is no reason that Trump should concede, if he doesn't believe the election was pure. He could stop contesting it, but that won't make certain Liberals or Democrats happy enough I suppose.

    Your attempt to discolor if someone cares about this country by doing it the way you demand, is exactly what has been a bone of contention between right and left for years.

    Still another anti-democracy coup attempt by Schumer and Pelosi. They never stop trying to undermine and destroy democracy, do they?

    How about we just set up a subforum where Trump supporters can write them?

    There can be a thread for people who want to write a line or two pretending to condemn the Capitol riot before launching into an anti-Dem screed, a thread for those who can't even be bothered with the pretend condemnation & another for people who want to pretend ANTIFA did it.

    That would seem to cover the major trends. If we can find a Trump supporter who is actually prepared to condemn the storming of the Capitol building and killing of a policeman without '....but ANTIFA' then they can post with the adults. I haven't seen one yet, but there might be one or two.

    There is no rational discussion with someone who literally the American Civil War that started as a protest to the election of Abraham Lincoln ever happened.

    Schumer is an idiot. Calling for this now only seems to me to be a try out for when they will use it against Joe. I predict much the same language will be reused when that time comes.
