    1. @Donald Strubharthe history of human beings teaches that ‘wrongdoers must be punished by their wrongdoings.’ Wrongdoer trump must be punished by his wrongdoings.😎😎😎

    2. @Young Lee so I punish myself for when a drunk driver killed my brother by cutting my arms doing it since 1988 this is where I am above the law cause the driver got a handshake and a pat on the back

    1. Oh Gee Clark, you _just_ missed meeting Superman again. What it that, the 5th time this week?

  1. There’s a bad moon rising for many of the Trump sycophants.
    Still lots of fun to be had at their expense.

    1. @Randy Couch Gee, a black woman having a problem with cops killing black men, in custody, in the streets. Yah think Einstein?

    1. @CyanChaos What they lose would have destroyed them anyway. They will have to let go completely in order to salvage what’s left of their tattered remains.

    2. @Julian crooks I think a lot of big companies make huge donations to both parties so they can hedge their bets and get what they want no matter who is in office : (

  2. Not only are senators witnesses of trump’s crimes but jurors also but worse is many are co-conspirators.

    1. @Rory M yep, and even if the senate doesnt agree with it doesn’t mean it can’t be used. If he tries to run again Im sure someone will take him to court and the court will decide his fate which definitely leans in favor of him not being able to do this again. If he tries it will cost a ton for him and the party in lawyers fees and I honestly dont think it will be worth it.

    2. Republicans were complicit! Including McConnell . McConnell is trying to distance himself . But he and all Republicans were complicit

    3. Republicans blinded by trump’s crimes to save their own jobs. They all need to be fired. Delusional Trump effectively plotted insurrections to overthrow legally elected Democrats

    1. @M Haskins Brian Sicknick, Ashli Babbitt, Rosanne Boyland, Kevin Greeson, Benjamin Phillips, and a sixth Howard Liebengood of suicide a few days later. Are you asking because you think it’s all fake and five is a made-up number or something?

    1. @Tony Yu Don’t hold your breath. No American president who deserve to view bars has ever been convicted. Congress has not been held accountable for its crimes eaither.

  3. “This is not about politics and has never been about politics. It’s that this is a deeply disturbed man who has been this way his whole adult life. And who we knew would get worse under pressure because that is what happens to these people with this kind of severe disorder.”

    1. @Susan Teeter look up Narcissism on YouTube and start learning about the behaviors, ways of speaking, and the intentions and goals of the narcissist.

      We can keep ourselves from falling pray to these types of people. Some enablers are narcissist themselves, some have simply fallen delusion to the lies.

    2. @Rory M Keep speaking facts Some people love To live in a world full of lies The truth is hit them right in the face but they always go to false information and stick with that until the last breath in their body I no this may not make sense But other people wants to live in a world full of racism they always criticize other people because thay thank there way is right Even when there information is wrong thay be so quick To Jump down somebody else’s throat Sample of the matter fact is how information their mom and dad fed them Until day un learn What they have been fed Dan when the fact start hidden them then they go and confront their mom and dad

    1. Do U think they will defend Trump by saying his supporters were stupid and didn’t understand what he was saying to them?!? Or that he really didn’t mean it?

    2. @Taryn Tots Nah. That tape is VERY clear.
      Didn’t you see it? But n the world of the sociopath things are always skewed.

    3. @Taryn Tots probably…..
      He is notorious for pointing the finger out and throwing others under the proverbial bus

  4. Senators were witnesses, victims AND some were and still are supporters of the insurrection and they must be removed for their sedition.

  5. This is how vain the systems are rendered – his crime was heard. witnessed and experienced by the senators, but now it is a test of how ‘skillfully’ it is presented and how ‘convincing’ the accusers are. What a waste of public resources because of a few selfish unqualified parasites that want to cling on to power associating with a treasonous showman

  6. That’s not a problem. The jurors don’t need to rely on witnesses because they experienced Trump’s crime first hand.

    1. “but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again. The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.” – JESUS
      ‭‭John‬ ‭4:14‬

    2. This is not about drinking water, only kool-aid. 🤣🤣🤣 Christianity in the hands of Americans has become twisted and now they’re believing stuff that goes against the Bible. 🙄 Like they’re against abortion, they’re greedy and lie and judge others, they scream out their so called religion…! That is not Christianity…!
