  1. Do they not understand that facts are actual facts?
    You can’t dispute facts or ignore facts just because you don’t like them.

  2. The whole nation witnessed the riot. There is no inneuedoes . The facts were televised and then confirmed on social media by the terrorist themselves.

    1. @American Patriot l hate to tell you this, but you are the opposite of an American patriot. America has always been a diverse, tolerant place with the peaceful transfer of power. The tolerance began to fade and has shriveled under Republican administrations beginning with Reagan and culminating with Trumpian inspired violence. We need to reclaim the best of our country and lose the Republican fascination with corporations. Country, people, party in that order. Anything other than this has weakened our democracy and country. Trump is the most visible example of that. He didn’t start it. Let’s finish it by moving beyond party and cults. We can disagree without violence if sanity is in control.

    1. @Deborah Freedman As a “law professor”, he should have known that presenting false evidence in a criminal investigation is against the law. He was caught red handed, in case you missed it (they forgot to change the date on the computer screen he was admitting as evidence)! What a proud moment!

    2. Raskin is a deranged Trump Hater! And NO just because Trump didn’t want to waste a second of his time on this hundredth SHAM WITCH HUNT doesn’t mean Democrats can fabricate their own delusional storyline that fits their narrative and that’s what Trump did. That’s called speculation or conspiracy theories!

  3. wow, Raskin tore him a new one. Rightly so.

    The defense claims hearsay yet the star witness refuses to testify, this would be a straightforward decision for any jury.

    1. Raskin is a LIAR and a Fraud…He tampered with evidence and that is a crime…So, Raskin is a criminal…Let that sink in…

    2. @Google User yeah tell us more about how the distinguished law professor and constitutional expert got “owned” by trumps “lawyer”….

  4. DT can’t appear before the house to clear everything up, because in the process he will ultimately incriminate himself

    1. @SocialismSucks For lying under oath he has to put his hand on the Bible to testify and the truth along with Donald Trump have never been introduced.

    2. @Mario Cavett you don’t have to put your hand on a bible to be under oath. No book of any religion is required under law, you swear on yourself.

    3. ​@Jordan Rodrigues The prosecutors proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that he DID incite the insurrection (let’s call it what it is). They presented a case that not only showed his intent, but his understanding of what would result from his words over the last weeks. They edited the footage to SHOW the phrases which were designed to get his supporters to believe that the country itself was being taken away from them: ‘we love our country’, ‘something’s wrong…we FIGHT. We FIGHT like hell…if you don’t FIGHT, you’re NOT GOING TO HAVE A COUNTRY’
      Let me tell you that I have read the WHOLE of the Jan 6th speech. He listed every single unfounded and ridiculous claim of election fraud in great detail and interspersed dozens of blatantly emotive phrases like the one above – over and over again. Here’s another: ‘for the sake of our CONSTITUTION…and our CHILDREN’ Aside from the one ‘peacefully’ phrase that was used as a way of pretending that he meant no harm – yeah…Really – the WHOLE of the speech was filled with the same lying, nationalistic, fearmongering rhetoric in which it was clear that he wanted them to ‘stop the steal’. I’ve also watched the montage of clips presented by the defence today. They were asking people to take action for a just cause (apart from the half-jokes by celebrities wanting to punch him, but NOT ASKING anybody to do it). There was even clarification by some which hadn’t been edited out, like ‘We’ll use every tool possible to fight for this change’. The context of THEIR words was clear (but not in the montage!) They WEREN’T being asked to stop a legitimate electoral process. Trump’s message was specific and clear and the whole 15 page transcript that I’ve read had ONE message, ONE purpose and ONE inevitable consequence. In a real court containing an impartial jury, there is no doubt that he would be convicted.

    4. @I am Error Oaths And Affirmations; left hand
      As you correctly point out, the left hand customarily is placed on the Bible because, tradition says, it is the one closest to the heart. The right hand is then raised as you’ll see in any swearing-in picture you hunt for — Barack Obama, Pat Quinn, etc

    1. The poop is there for all to see. A poop is a poop. What more proof do you want. Want to taste and test it in the mouth some more?
      Mimzy long winded rhetoric is full of trump poop

  5. I’m guessing that they aren’t able to subpoena phone records. Get one thing straight though, T**** doesn’t care about ANYONE but himself. His lawyer is clueless

    1. some ideas for a better planet

      Matthew 5: 27-28
      “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

      Luke 17:1
      And he said to his disciples, “Temptations to sin are sure to come, but woe to the one through whom they come!

      better stop producing / uploading / watching “music videos”.. (or similar videos, pics, profile pictures, thumbnails, title names, headlines, usernames + harmful comments, bad words, swearing, lies, disrespect, harmful lyrics etc! on social media + everywhere else too.
      “Temptations to sin” / seduction etc. must stop)
      start deleting? censoring etc.?
      destroy your smartphones, cams, data storage devices etc? would be better.
      remove temptations / seduction + other evil things from TV, magazines, radio stations, broadcasting etc? would be better.

      many young people are watching those videos (or reading / typing harmful comments, or doing other bad things!) etc. all over the world. and its NOT ok!
      parents? (or people in authority): intervene?! seriously

      wait.. there is more:

  6. Trump defense claims there is hearsay from Tuberville and Lee. Easy solution. Call them as witnesses! In tact, call Trump himself!

    1. @Joe Sniffs Kids uhm idk what news you’re watching but every single one I saw, the defense attorneys were like my cousin Vinny. Trump dosent pay his lawyers anyhow.

    1. With Trump’s propensity for ranting and throwing out the first thing that pops into his head, he’ll mostly likely hang himself with his own words which is why his lawyers also don’t want him to testify.
