The question to me then becomes what counts as inciting violence.
Would a Trump/Q obsessed congresswoman tweeting Pelosi's location in the Capitol to the rioters count?
How about Cruz announcing he's leading the charge as the charge gets underway and a cop's getting beat to death?
Giuliani announcing minutes before the chaos that he wants trial by combat?
Trump ranting and raving about marching to the Capitol, specifically calling out his own vice president ,who immediately becomes a target and rioters are looking for him to hang him?
At what point are people willing to call a spade a spade?
Trump was right about his base....he said years ago he could murder someone in front of them and they'd still support him. That was a roundabout way of Trump saying his base is dumber than dogshit.
We almost had a decapitation strike on our VP and Congress and this corrupt, cowardly piece of shit still has people defending him.
For fucks sake....A bomb was placed outside each party's headquarters.
It's time for people to stop acting like this was a walk in the park and Trump was just innocently tiptoeing through the tulips.
It's scary that I don't know which one of those examples you posted is the worst. This goes beyond disagreements with policy or ideology. When you have some loon talking about putting a bullet through a leader in the House, that goes beyond this stuff.
And they got really close too, to the Senate if it weren't for some brave Capitol police officer who directed them away from the door to the chambers.
And you can be brutally honest and say what it is: he was the instigator of this act of terror brought upon the US this past Wednesday. And that's what it was an act of terror. Look at the images and read the stories that have come out the past few days.
And for what? Just because he couldn't stand that he lost. And he himself was the biggest reason why.
That is pretty funny. Trump, the most powerful man in the US suddenly can't find an outlet to speak or communicate.

Please show me one “trial” that was thrown out on merit and not procedure, standing, or some technicality. They did a disservice from not showing the world how clean the election was. To not allowing signature audits. To not allow forensic analysis of the voting machines. When you throw it all out people question it.
In cases like this, transparency is your friend.
Why would there be a trial if no laws or whatever were violated or broken? You are making no sense at all. His "claims" were so ridiculous that those courts didn't even both ruling in his favor.
Good god, you've gone full retard here.

Yikes...nobody wanted to take the case?
What planet are the in from?
He must have missed the part where Trump and his lawyers went 1-50 and got slapped down by almost every state and federal court they filed lawsuits with.
I don't think he understands that this isn't a "left or right" issue. And this transcends it. This is about being an American and how certain segments of the USA tried to pull an insurrection and overthrow the government and it's laws and that attempt was led by the President of the United States.

You're kidding right? What good will it accomplish? He will NOT BE ABLE TO RUN FOR PUBLIC OFFICE EVER AGAIN.
This is under the assumption that he gets convicted.Bro, breathe and stop acting so scared of the big bad orange man. All that will do is incite the white people you seem really afraid of right now. Stop being petty. He didn’t order anyone to storm the Capitol. He is not innocent but stop spreading fake news.
You seem to be living some sort of alternate realty and fail to understand basic facts. I'm going to let someone point out how dumb some of this stuff is that you are posting.

It makes sense. He was serene and concilatory (for him anyway) in that speech yesterday. Today, back to normal, ranting and raving about some conspiracy. He's getting kicked out or impeached. McConnell has already sent out an impeachment memo to GOP senators.
It'll be a huge blow to his fucking ego to have to resign.

These protesters were more busy taking selfies than trying to harm anyone. I do support anything about what happened but for fucks sake they were let in and nobody had any guns.
Acting US Attorney Michael Sherwin said prosecutors expect to file 15 federal criminal cases related to the incident at the Capitol. One man who was arrested had a military semi-automatic rifle and 11 Molotov cocktails "that were ready to go."

Sherwin said an additional 40 cases were filed in Washington DC Superior Court. Charges include unlawful entry, assault, firearms possession
— Kristine Phillips (@bykristinep) January 7, 2021
Regarding the 15 federal cases, charges include unauthorized entry, firearms possession, theft.
Please stop. Your interpretation of this event is awful.

That story about the ball tazing is pure insanity. We have to somehow fix this poisoned culture.
I think you almost have to go full on censorship on these sites. I just don't see another way past it. For far too long, twitter and facebook have let these people post these crackpot theories just kind of unfettered. Yeah, they might find other spots but it'll be more difficult and beyond the brain power of some of these traitors.
Arrests and stiff sentences for some of these people will deter as well. You have to treat these people as terrorists at this point.
Oh that ball hazing is one of the funniest and dumb things I've read. That and the idiot who got trampled and died while holding a Don't tread on me flag.

Some of the stuff that has come out today is truly scary and frightening. We were real close to a massacre. Some of these traitors had zipties and, molotov cocktails and rifles.

Of course Biden isn't going to say anything about this subject yet. He's not insane. He's also got other priorities at the moment.
I'm shocked Manchin said it.
Biden backs the $2000 checks, but the covid vaccine has to be priority #1. This pandemic is raging out of control. Hospitals are gonna have to stop taking patients at all if this keeps up.
We've somehow got to get more vaccines out there and actually administered. An actual federal plan, one Trump never implemented, would help. Using the defense production act, which Trump also never implemented, will also help.
There needs to be mass drive-thru vaccinations at stadiums, churches, arenas, wherever people can get in long-ass lines. Our gargantuan zoos are closed in Chicago. Use those parking lots.
My wife and son have deadly peanut, lentil, and pea allergies. Our hospitals are running about 80% full here. In a month's time, if they had an episode, I doubt they'd get the care they need.
This virus mutation is gonna burn through our lazy population, it's scary to think about.
Yeah, I was reading about some of the stuff in LA and their hospitals and it's really scary. It's gotten so bad that they have to set up temporary morgues.
There is a far greater demand (of the vaccine) than supply at this point.
And those nuts jeering Graham need to be taken out or whatever. I'm not defending Graham who is a weasel but these clowns started chanting traitor at Mitt Romney during a recent flight.
