He won the presidency, moron. Your vacuous denial of that reality doesn't actually erase his victory. It just make you look cray-cray.

Run away train? It was a protest that lasted less than a day! Congress was in session again in less than a day! Are you kidding with this hyperbole? We've had left wing riots in major cities across the country that went on for months and nobody claimed it was the end of our democracy!Oldestyle wrote: So now that I've read your tiny little print memo...how in that is our democracy destroyed? - - - It's a challenge to the election taking place in the House and Senate. 21OCT25-POST#320
The EASTMAN MEMO is but one facet of Trumpism and the right-wing Republican SLO-MO coup.
“””” But the end of free and open elections would destroy our democracy. Corruption running amok would destroy our democracy. Using the Department of Justice to hide malfeasance and to prosecute political rivals would destroy our democracy. Nepotism and widespread incompetence would destroy our democracy. Undermining our trust in the free press would destroy our democracy. Substituting conspiracy theories for science and truth would destroy our democracy. And unabashed grifting and corruption at public expense would destroy our democracy.
All these examples are central elements of Trumpism and the right-wing Republican agenda “”””
Trump's 'slow-motion coup' is becoming a runaway train
Comedian Bill Maher, former National Security Council member Fiona Hill and NYU historian Ruth Ben-Ghiat have all recently used the term "slow-moving coup." In fact, that term, in various formulations, has appeared numerous times in Salon, beginning in 2017, Donald Trump's first year as...www.rawstory.com
As for the rest of that rant? The Biden Administration is a better example of ALL those things than the Trump Administration EVER was!

Do you believe the democrats are capable of being completely objective and unbiased?
Do you believe that if the evidence takes them to a place that shows Trump and company to not be guilty that they will admit they are wrong, and would they publicly attest to that fact?
Do you believe they are actually trying to find the truth, or are they just trying to navigate a way to make their presuppositions fit to their desired outcome?
Yes, I want the facts, the ACTUAL facts, whether they lead to indictment, or not. What do YOU want?

Irrelevant red herring & non sequitur. No collection of humans is capable of that. Not even scientists, which is why we we have peer review and repetition. Not police or lawyers or judges, which is why we have a court system.
Also irrelevant, when it comes to finding and releasing facts. This is the difference between finding and releasing a recording of trump extorting a foreign leader, and the subsequent impeachment process. The result and process of the impeachment has NO bearing on the idea that is t was good to find and expose the fact of trump's phone call.

I had not heard that.
How many cities?
Which ones?
And for how long?
Can you provide credible sourcing?
Thanx, in advance.
--------------------------------------------------------
We all be good with that. Let the facts be uncovered and announced. The chips then, will fall as they may. We all be good with that, no?
Sure, I've heard the complaint expressed on this venue that it is a "partisan" committee. Maybe it is, maybe it ain't. After all, each participant is an accomplished American.
Both parties had the opportunity to make it bi-partisan. One chose not to participate.
We hafta deal with the realities that exist. Abe Lincoln, Oliver Wendell Holmes, and Louis Brandeis ain't gonna be available for your ideal 'commission'.
We work with the clay at hand. We need the facts on what happened and the players who made it happen. The current Congressional committee is the best tool we have to uncover those current unknowns....and make 'em known.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ah, PP, don't do that to yourself.
Really, you are surely smarter than that? Better educated than that?
I ask these rhetorical questions as a hint to you that making silly uninformed statements on an internet chatroom.....makes the chosen avatar look silly, and uninformed.
You can be better than that.

“”” (DoD Memo) 1:26 p.m.: The Capitol Police orders the evacuation of the Capitol complex.
www.rawstory.com
(DoD Memo) 1:49 p.m.: The Capitol Police chief asks the commanding general of the DC National Guard for immediate assistance.
Also at 1:49 p.m.: Trump retweets a video of the rally, which includes his previous statements that: "our country has had enough. We will not take it anymore and that's what this is all about. To use a favorite term that all of you came up with, we will stop the steal. . . You'll never take back our country with weakness. You have to show strength, and you have to be strong."
2:11 p.m.: Trump's mob breaches the Capitol building – breaking windows, climbing inside, and opening doors for others to follow.
2:13 p.m.: Pence suddenly leaves the Senate floor and is moved to a nearby office.
During the attack: Among the members of Congress appealing directly to Trump for help is House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA). According to a later statement from Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler (R-WA), "When McCarthy finally reached the president on January 6 and asked him to publicly and forcefully call off the riot, the president initially repeated the falsehood that it was antifa that had breached the Capitol. McCarthy refuted that and told the president that these were Trump supporters. That's when, according to McCarthy, the president said: 'Well, Kevin, I guess these people are more upset about the election than you are.'" [Emphasis in original]
2:24 p.m.: Trump tweets: "Mike Pence didn't have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our Country and our Constitution, giving States a chance to certify a corrected set of facts, not the fraudulent or inaccurate ones which they were asked to previously certify. USA demands the truth!"
2:26 p.m.: While the senators are in a temporary holding room after the Senate chamber is evacuated, Trump tries to call Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL), but mistakenly reaches Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT), who hands the phone to Tuberville. Trump then tries to convince Tuberville to make additional objections to the Electoral College vote in an effort to block Congress' certification of Biden's win.
2:52 p.m.: The first FBI SWAT team enters the Capitol.
4:17 p.m.: Trump tweets a video telling rioters, "I know your pain, I know you're hurt. We had an election that was stolen from us. It was a landslide election and everyone knows it, especially the other side… It's a very tough period of time. There's never been a time like this where such a thing happened where they could take it away from all of us — from me, from you, from our country. This was a fraudulent election, but we can't play into the hands of these people. We have to have peace. So go home. We love you. You're very special. You've seen what happens. You see the way others are treated that are so bad and so evil." “””

Shut up moron. Just shut up. Trump said to PEACEFULLY protest. Which by YOUR side’s definition is what happened. Then again you morons can’t decide if this was pre-planned or incited (hint, it can’t be both) you change your minds weekly.

Yeah...right! Two Republicans hand picked by Nancy Pelosi because they hate Donald Trump? Her selecting those two made a mockery of the entire committee!
You somehow missed the riots? Seriously?
The commission "might be" partisan? Is this a comedy routine, Chilly? You know as well as I do that this commission is completely partisan! It has only one purpose and that's to divert attention away from how badly Joe Biden and his merry band of progressives are doing running the country!

when incitement is part of the plan, then it can be both planned and incited.

So what? The first Benghazi investigation found nothing but that didn't stop Republicans from starting another. Then another when that one found nothing. Then another when that one found nothing. Then another when that one found nothing. Then another when that one found nothing. Then another when that one found nothing. Then another when that one found nothing.

that comes from a misunderstanding of how the DOJ is charging this,
and mis-describes proud boy's role in the riot
Reuters Doesn't Mention Terrorism When Claiming DOJ Won't Charge Serious Offenses in the January 6 Investigation - emptywheel
A Reuters report that has people in a tizzy claims that DOJ is not charging January 6 defendants with seditious conspiracy. It doesn't mention that DOJ is treating a number of defendants as terrorists.

The people that will ultimately "eat shit" because of this commission are you on the left, Faun! You're going to waste all kinds of time and money on something the FBI has already reported doesn't exist and at some point it's going to become obvious to the American public that you've got about as much with THIS sham as you did with "Russian Collusion"! At which point they're going to ask why did we ever put idiots like this in charge of the country!
