Something I've been thinking about, what would have happened if the mob would have found Pelosi or any other democrats in the capitol building? Would they have killed her? Yelled at her? Beat her to a pulp?
I understand it’s not a criminal case but wouldn’t you think it wise to revert to the legal definitions of terms such as “incitement” and “insurrection” and how courts have defined those terms? Otherwise, we will just let Congress make up whatever definitions to whatever terms they want.There are so many things wrong with your point that its hard to know where to start. But just a couple: ex post facto means passing a law after the conduct, which is not the case here. Also, this is not a criminal case.
As I have said before, politically I question the wisdom of this. Too many of the Senate GOP are so afraid of Trump's base they cannot bring themselves to vote to convict, even if in their judgment he should be convicted. Politics trumps (no pun intended) what is right and wrong here. So it is a waste of time in that sense and I think there are other ways that censure could have occurred, maybe even in time with a bit more GOP backing down the line.
Also, I fear that all this ultimately does is fuel Trump's claim to victim status.
You mean like the entire theory that Trump planned the attack on the Capitol? That kind of conspiracy theory?Democrats aren't the ones who've allowed their party to be taken over by conspiracy theorists and extremist rubes that think the VP can pick who he wants for president. You should really think before you call any one else stupid. Your guys are the winners in that category.
It isLay off the melodrama, good God man! It really is a cult. He wasn't fighting for the Country, he was fighting for Donald Trump. The fact that you equate fighting for the Country with trying to steal an election by lying and stomping on our Constitution is pathetic. Get a grip.
Not mine. I didn’t vote for Biden either. All I cared about was Trump losing and, past that, I don’t care. Politicians are going to do politics no matter who is in power. We’ll survive. Next subject.
Are you saying you literally might die because of Joe Biden?That is some solid logic.."all i cared was Trump losing" without regard to policy. WTF.
If you cannot see we might not survive, then I dont know what to say. You third party guys lack any pragmatism. All I want now while disregarding a much worse outcome
Yeah. Those guys rushing and overpowering the police were super respectful.You mean would they have semi respectfully said what they think of her or treated her as your kind did people eating. The guys who invaded the capitol went around shooting selfies (not real smart BTW); your kind went around smashing and grabbing phones, TVs, etc.
