If Trump didn’t intend to incite a coup, why did it take him HOURS to try to stop it? Why did he tweet against Pence even after the mob was calling for him to be executed? This case is open and shut. The only problem is that he’s being tried by a jury stacked with fellow insurrectionists.
@WARRIOR OF GOD you need a good smack of the cop on stick
@Mikeom Olt lol. glad to see that you fixed that , auto correct has become auto destruct on you tube… i finally just turned it off myself.. i get fewer errors without it …
The truth will come out in the Netflix mini series…wait for it😉
@WARRIOR OF GOD You sound like a clown over 80 million people already have how quickly you stupid Republicans forget you lost the election Joe Biden got over 80 million votes these people already recognize him as the president not just some reality TV show just playing the part
@WARRIOR OF GOD Nonsense, Trump was part of the pre-planning…it was planned with Republicans and exposed all over social media. And just forget Antifa, it’s all in your head.
Trump lawyers lied throughout that whole thing then did a whole bunch supercuts of democrats saying “fight or fighting” Trying to equate their words to trumps. But the thing is is completely different how their using it, they never once gave context
@Maximilian Houk stop crying
same context and the same thing…
No wonder lawyers are held in such low esteem

oh good
@Maloy Audy i did , but unlike you i didn’t need msnbc to interpret it for me .
@Robyn Mitchell lol. and thats your first problem, when you use madcow as a “ proof” you just threw your credibility out the window , and made yourself look like a liberal cultist ..
Tony Blackman, how I ‘look’ to someone like you is as relevant to my life to my life as is a a grain of sand on a beach on the Ivory Coast. I didn’t read the whole of your reply & won’t read your reply to this one! 😘
@tony blackmon It doesn’t matter though does it who or what they are ??? If the jury are already bias and in the pocket of the defendant and the outcome has been decided prior to the case then he could have been defended by anybody and gotten away with anything
Deflecting or changing the subject is called “what-aboutism” — a simple rhetorical tactic heavily used by the Soviet Union and, later, Russia. And it’s use in Russia helps illustrate how it has been a useful tool for Trump and his defenders here in America. It’s an attractive tactic for Trump and Putin, allowing them to be vague but appear straight-talking at the same time. What-aboutism is essentially a schoolyard taunt, brought to a national and global level.
The idea behind what-aboutism is simple: Party A accuses Party B of doing something bad. Party B responds by changing the subject and pointing out one of Party A’s faults — “Yeah? Well WHAT ABOUT that bad thing you did?”
It’s not a complicated tactic — any grade-schooler can master it. But it came to be associated with the USSR because of the Soviet Union’s heavy reliance upon whataboutism throughout the Cold War and afterward, as Russia.
One big reason whataboutism is so attractive: it’s a simple way to shrug off criticism or even responsibility for any wrongdoings..
Whataboutism flattens moral nuances into a black-and-white worldview. But in this worldview, it’s very difficult to be the good guy; idealism is the ultimate naïveté, and anyone who dares to criticize another can be “unmasked” as a hypocrite. This creates a useful moral equivalency. If nobody is perfect, then it means that Trump should get a pass for any wrongdoings.
You have been missed…😎👍✊
So, what can be done about it? We citizens can vote these Republicans out of office for good. They can play their games, but we the people can vote them out and put a stop to this useless group of pathetic losers.
wow , you just wrote a phone book sized post to say “, its okay if i do it , but you cant mention that or its a what about ism..”
when people have to make up a new phrase to vilify something thats your first clue that they are blowing smoke ….. you sir are no execption….
@Ja Nein so can you show me that blm or antifer are not democrats? marxist but democrats none the less
@tony blackmon Phone book sized in the town you are living in.
When dealing with those stupid enough to be duped and used by the “Insane Clown President” being able to discern between Calvary and cavalry is the very least of their problems.
Absolutely!!!
they defending biden?
Cavalry/Calvary – trump wouldn’t know the difference.
@Maximilian Houk 6 week old, weak troll = go away. Please post about how your other account was suspended because you violated the community guidelines, just like Trump.
Three syllables. Trump couldn’t even spell it.
@David Guelette and biden wouldnt know what it means..,
They didn’t bother to look at the evidence before they came into the room. Now they are blaming the other side for not doing their job.
Trump’s attorney actually blamed House managers for his own lack of preparation in defending Donald Trump. If Trump’s not paying this guy, he’s certainly getting his money’s worth.
You have to remember that the first lawyers he had quite, they would not lie for Trump ,these other 2 lawyers had 1 week to prepare 😉 lol 😆
So do what Republicans do blame Democrats 🤔
@Vicky Jameus 🤣🤣🤣😭
i blame them for not doing their job.. no investigation , just irrational allegations, no evidence, no legitimate charge , just irrational hatred and hyperbole… this is political theater…

oh good
*Trump ONE TERM PRESIDENT NEXT TERM IS IN PRISON FOR SURE* 👌
Heck.. he could get multiple terms in prison .. oh… what a pleasant thought .. : )
What’s shakin’ bacon?
yawn. , come on man , we’ve heard that threat for 6 years now…
@sharon olsen if irrational hatred is pleasant to you , i guess we could see you thinking that way…
“The calvary is coming” aka “Here comes the pain” was prophetic.
Politicians need to exercise their brains before they exercise their tongues. In the digital era words live forever.
Clearly that fact has Zero bearing on Lindsey Graham & his voters in South Carolina…
everything on the net is always the truth ,and whatever they change it to tomorrow becomes the truth because someone posted it on the net …..
But there are limits to this digital age and you do not always get what you want because you do not know what you want. That is your problem. Not mine.

@Van Nguyen What is this? Are you trying to provoke?
I guess it takes a liar to defend a liar.
@Maximilian Houk lol troll boy. Take your rutabaga and go home.
you sound like the voice of experience sir….
@tony blackmon People tell me all of the time I missed my calling. I am a blue color high voltage electrician. I had to work for a living. Luckily, I was in a union and was paid well. Everything I have learned was after I left the educational system. I am 71 and a very wise-guy. Since I am retired, now I have been reading and writing. In the 90ies I wrote many Songs and Poems. Many came from dreams and creativity from a source outside myself. I have a few on youtube but not my best. My 1950 brain is firing on all my Vacuum tubes like it’s 1999 again. I am redoing ” Blowing in the Wind” With very serious lyrics about 2020. I would like to share them with you when I can. You seem like you are filled with empathy. Thanks for noticing me.
@Daniel Ahlert i subscribed to you sir , perhaps i can catch some of your work later . you seem to be of a wisened spirit .
have a good evening…
Be safe
that is sort of a key piece of evidence: how many people we hurt over these calls to fight… none? Well, no harm, no foul. Oh… 140 officers wounded, one dead, two committed suicide and 5 protestors dead? There is harm, there is something foul.
how many times did a democrat say “fight” that resulted in a mob insurrection?
NONE.
None but that is immaterial to the point he was attempting to make. As to what that point was, I have no way of knowing from what he told us but I know any what-aboutism is not an excuse for anything.
ICE headquarters in Washington 30 day overtake by rioters egged on by likes of sguad
**thank God,,, most Americans see the hypocrisy of all these Republicans!!! And have rejected it… Good and decent people are leaving the Republican party in droves!!!**
When’s New York State coming for this d less traitor?!!
So they proved that “fight” is a common american word. What’s the point ?
He doesn’t know what he’s talking about! Omg it couldn’t be more difference….
Imagine being labeled anti-fascist, and it supposed to be a bad thing.
@tony blackmon
Thanks ever so much for the confirmation.
@Mark Sublette you cant even tell the difference between your ego and reality.
@Bodacious Oasis sure , hang tight , there are a couple of gentlemen coming to bring you a new jacket , it has sleeves that tie in the back…
@tony blackmon Biden didn’t tell ME anything, I have never spoken to him.
Only in America
Stupidity at its height
What about Boebert? Are we ever going to know what went on with her tour? If it was just family, why hasn’t anyone confirmed? Either way, *WHAT’S GOING ON?*
Everyone can see where this is going. It makes me sick, sick to my soul.
This defense was insulting to anyone who watched.
