'Evidence Is Clear': Dems Say Trump 'Alone' Incited Capitol Mob | The Beat With Ari Melber | MSNBC
somehow, we’ll see some fascist senators deny truth for djt, again.
No doubt. A lot of them are co-conspirators. They are working for a racist fascist lawless dictator wannabe.
CONVICT TRUMP and HEAL.
ACQUIT TRUMP and SQUEAL
Lee is with Graham and Cruz conferring with trumps lawyers on his defense.. seems like they just forfeited their right to vote on the trial
Exactly!
Pretty dumb to continue to support Trump at this point as he will never be president again!
Support has dropped to the 30% range
If that’s true then absolutely they should have no vote. If this were an actual courtroom, I would think this would be illegal. Kind of like witness tampering in reverse. And they would certainly not be allowed to leave the room while the case was being presented. It’s more than a bit upsetting to think “we the people” pay these slackers.
Conflict of interest and witness tampering.
@William H. Baird 30% with all Americans but much higher among Republicans (still around 79% after the Capitol attack). If the red hats turn against these Republican Senators they don’t stand a chance of being reelected. The spineless Senators are choosing to try and save their jobs over doing what is best for the nation.
The “alone” part better be the old bait & switch. Get those Senators that are just as guilty as Trump, just working inside the building doing his bidding to MAYBE vote against him, then bring down the hammer after cutting the head off the snake. If they mean “alone” literally, that is some BS. He “alone” would have benefitted, but he did not act alone at all.
We already know that a corrupt GOP will protect a corrupt family member.
Its a terrorist organisation. You need to call it as it is!
@TurboM BLM too.
@Elliott bluemedsea can’t argue with that, but i will lean more to Antifa to call them domestic terrorist then BLM.
@TurboM You lean more towards the other side because its in your nature due to the over exhaustion of influence compared to the other. But in reality, it is the exact same.
@Elliott bluemedsea I don’t think so, it is because there action’s. Most of the protest that ended in looting where, for as I know, from Antifa. BLM where mostly peaceful, tho provoking a reaction! But if it is so that violence is coming out of a group with the intention to destroy society that can be named as a terrorist organisation.
When referring to anyone who votes to acquit DT, just add Mudd to their name:
Mudd Cruz, Mudd Hawley, Mudd Graham, Mudd Lee
Shall we commission a shame caller?
makes what Bill Clinton did seem very small.
That’s what she said! 😆
Just make sure that there’s a secret voting at the end of this trial! That’ll make all the difference I think.
The former prez should be convicted and they all know!
I’d agree if not for the possibility the GOP votes in Trump’s favor anyway so we wouldn’t have a personal record to hold them to account after
That same “base” they claim to fear, the Dems Senators and Representatives face them. No cover for Hawley, Cruz, Graham and McConnell etc
Trump knew exactly what he was doing when he incited the mob to defend his illegitimacy!
When has a losing president held a rally on the day of the electoral college votes?! Hello… the evidence is clear!
Stupid is as stupid does! The evidence is clear.
WHERE ARE the Republican Senators??????? Where did they GO ????
Deserters?!! End the Republican Party NOW
Trump’s defense is going to somehow end up incriminating Republican Senators AND throwing the Capital insurrectionists under the bus.
Q told me.
After he’s acquitted, can we hold a criminal trial in D.C. for the same offense?
Yes. The Constitution in (Article 1 Section 3 Para 6) says to Indict, Try, Judge, and Punish NEVERTHELESS of Impeachment, according to Law.
Yes and I’m praying the NEW AG goes after the senators as well
Seems hard to see how it could be avoided at this point. Biden fervently supports the independence of the DOJ. That means both never initiating cases against political opponents- and never blocking them either. It will all be up to the line professionals at the DOJ.
Trump did not incite alone. Rudy helped. All of the corrupt GOP helped. His family helped. Hawley raised his fist in solidarity. I hope the new AG remembers that.
Sandra but they were doing what Trump wanted. They even said we are here because of Trump and they told the police, yeah your boss!
GOP is now a terrorist organisation!
It would have never happened had it not been for former p-45.
Why is it so hard for the so-called “moral majority” to be moral?
Republicans “know, in their hearts, they should be voting to convict”.
I hate to break it to you but you’re discussing sociopaths.
The question is how are those now in power going to see to it that justice is done?
What about Rudy “trial by combat” Guiliani?
And this GOP Congress is just FINE with the assassination attempt on Mike Pence? It would appear that yes, yes they are.
Huh, and turns out Mike Pence was that ‘somebody’ on Fifth avenue.
*~Helter Skelter~*
Charles Manson and Trump have allot in common, they both sent their mentally manipulated for bloody terror.
