I think this will later work for trump later on He’s actually showing himself as not being a politician. This will make masses follow his wish. The Democrats best strategy now is to ignore trump and his antics else this will backfire and make trump looks like a hero and messiah of the common man in the United state. |

Ladyhippolyta88:Whether they are impeachable is based in the subjective whims of congress at the time. Trump got impeached for asking Ukraine to investigate Biden, they said he abused his power to discredit a political opponent. However, that call was made before Biden announced he was joining the race. So, where are the facts that he can actually be impeached though? This is literally just dem vs republican bullshit. The judge recused himself so there won't even be a sitting judge to hear the case. As for whether he committed impeachable offenses, that's not a fact. Unless you can definitively prove that Donald Trump told those people to break into the US capitol, then that's just your subjective opinion. One thing I find interesting that congress thinks Trump called for violence whena congress woman days this about the BLM riots. "The whole point of protesting is to make ppl uncomfortable. Activists take that discomfort w/ the status quo & advocate for concrete policy changes. Popular support often starts small & grows. To folks who complain protest demands make others uncomfortable... that’s the point." -AOC Trump supporters definitely made her uncomfortable, though. Is Trump a self-serving liar? Yes. So are most other politicians Are his supporters who stormed the capitol hill r*yards? Yes. So are the people who committed violence and vandalism during the BLM riots. If you view only one side as the devil, consider the that you may be in a media bubble. Seeking alternative sources and doing your own research should give you a more balanced view |

CoolUsername:Nah even some republicans agree Trump committed impeachable offences.Even some arrested insurrectionist have spoken via their lawyers putting their blame on Trump that they listened to him through his rhetoric and there are links with the Trump campaign currently being investigated.What happened on January 6 is beyond partisanship and outside the impeachment trial there could be criminal trial why do you think his lawyers resigned.Mr man there are videos where he told them to march to the capitol and take their country back his associates said there should be a trial by combat there are videos to thay effect that tie him to that insurrection to say otherwise is foolishness.What you are quoting the protesters did not invade the capitol so you cannot compare an insurrection where many have been charged to a protest.I see Trump as a devil in the case and the only side based on facts of the case on ground. Also to seek alternative sources does not mean one should pick lies and unverifiable conspiracies and call it truth.Yes when you seek facts and truths they always point to one and same thing depending on your understanding but if you mean alternative sources like sites that report lies and unverifiable conspiracies count me out.Whatever media bubble you are talking about is the same bubble you find yourself in looking for alternative sources which may be truths or lies. |

Ladyhippolyta88:He said they should show strength and cheer the strong conservative (guys who agree with him), even though they won't be doing much cheering for the weak ones (guys who disagree with him). It's a stretch to call that incitement, especially when investigation shows that the rioters planned this stunt on Facebook before Trump ever made that speech. The trial by combat line wasn't by Trump as you just said, and even that wasn't considered a physical threat until Jan 6. You're acting like the BLM supporters didn't burn down a federal courthouse. You talk about insurrection but don't mention when BLM rioters created an autonomous zone (search CHAZ) in the same capitol hill which led to two people getting killed, even though the Seattle mayor supported them. Did you forget about the violent protest outside capitol hill during the hearing of Brett Kavanaugh, due to unverified rape allegations that were promptly forgotten about after his confirmation? Or the Washington riots after Trump's inauguration, due to claims of election fraud and Russian collusion that were pushed by the Dems and mainstream media which were all proven false after two years of investigation? Then you talk to me about conspiracy theories. Talking about conspiracy theories though. Can you mention any I've posted in this conversation? In all I've said where is the lie? |

CoolUsername:He said he was going to march with them and they should take their country back when he was in Georgia on the 4th he said they should fight back or they will be no country anymore his tweets and campaign emails also said same violent rhetorics as well also Trial by combact was said by his associates Rudy Giuliani on the day of the insurrection he said it on that date in the save America march turned insurrection.Even videos released Trump supporters themselves said they were sent by Trump. You're acting like the BLM supporters didn't burn down a federal courthouse. You talk about insurrection but don't mention when BLM rioters created an autonomous zone (search CHAZ) in the same capitol hill which led to two people getting killed, even though the Seattle mayor supported themOga there is no proof or direct proof linking it to BLM many of them were released for lack of evidence and it was reported at a time that the protest was infiltrated by rioters and arsonist which happens in almost every protest around the world including end sars it had nothing to do with the protesters if it were the organizers and founders of the movement would have been in prison the same cannot be said about what happened on the 6th remember a Trump supporter named Kyle Rittenhouse was found in the protest in Kenosha he killed two people and injured one he is currently on trial that person invaded a BLM protest Trump supporters carried Naz, Trump flags to the insurrection that was very obvious for all to see and many have been charged with clear evidence. Did you forget about the violent protest outside capitol hill during the hearing of Brett Kavanaugh, due to unverified rape allegations that were promptly forgotten about after his confirmation? Or the Washington riots after Trump's inauguration, due to claims of election fraud and Russian collusion that were pushed by the Dems and mainstream media which were all proven false after two years of investigationViolent protest in what way did any result in casualties and was anybody charged?also the Russian Collusion wascontroversial because there have been reports of Mueller being pressured and obstructed oga you don't know more than the American intelligence agencies that said there was an element of foreign(Russian)interference and charged some Trump associates to court who were later indicted and pardoned by Trump Michael Flynn resigned because of it. Then you talk to me about conspiracy theories.I have just pointed out your lies or misunderstanding also I alluded to that when you talked about finding alternative source of information that are mostly false and unverifiable. |

Trump administration was not all that bad except for his immigration policy. This is what many, especially foreigners hated him for. Trump was antiwar. He did not stay a new war better he knew that the so called "war on terror" was lie and propaganda. The fact that he was open antiislam and Muslims, Muslims should appreciate his administration. Trump said long before he became president that Obama created isis. Bush created alkaida also confirmed by Hillary clinton. Obama administration was war monger. He was voted for by Blacks for emotional reason. Obama administration also funded and wasted money on domestic terrorism that did not exist. They were entrapping innocent Muslims up and down while the real Terrorists (white supremacists) were committing act of terror. This is why Trump cut off unnecessary funding because he was well aware that the whole nonesense about fake. |

Ladyhippolyta88:Marching with them to the capitol hill is an acceptable means of protest. Encouraging people to protest is legal. What was illegal was breaking in. A march is not an insurrection. Or maybe we can blame the dems for the shooting of Steve Scalise since the perp bought into Dem propaganda that Trump was ruining democracy. Ladyhippolyta88:This has to be the most partisan and biased take on a situation I've seen in recent times. Are you saying that BLM rioters didn't burn down buildings or pull down statues? Are you saying they didn't create an autonomous zone during the protest? Even with all the video evidence? And I don't know why you even mentioned Kyle Rittenhouse, or you didn't see the videos ofhim getting chased down by an angry mob and when one of them shot in the air. Ladyhippolyta88:You talk about the Mueller investigation as a win when Mueller clearly started there was no evidence of collusion after 2 years of investigation. This is a fact that you can't deny. Trump's associates were mostly charged with perjury, Manafort was charged with tax evasion. None for Russian collusion. Yes, they are filthy swamp creatures but they didn't collude with Russia to steal election line the Dems claimed. |

CoolUsername:Did Trump march with them yes or no?those people came with a guillotine and there are new reports of sponsors pointing to a fact that this was planned and you are here saying that it was a march?where did they march to and what did it lead to was it not an insurrection repeating a lie that Mike Pence could overturn the election and claiming that they should take their country back,trial by combat 1776 and other violent rhetorics where do they point to?Insurrection and violence of course pipe bombs were found that should tell you that it was planned and had inside help judging from the videos he was impeached for inciting an insurrection which he clearly did the rhetorics by Trump and his associates prove just that what did they mean by we will kick some ass?The perp was it later found out that it was democrats that told him to do that and did the dems condemn it or not?answer me This has to be the most partisan and biased take on a situation I've seen in recent times. Are you saying that BLM rioters didn't burn down buildings or pull down statues? Are you saying they didn't create an autonomous zone during the protest? Even with all the video evidence?Mr man please tell me who was charged and on what grounds they were charged and was the person charged directly linked to BLM or not?yes they pulled down statues not just in the USA but in the UK and what was their motive for pulling down the statue was it to commit an insurrection or speak against slavery and racism and was any charged or was there any law prior to that that made it a crime Trump signed an executive order to that effect after and now his supporters are the ones that will go in for it because nobody was found guilty or charged because at that time it was not considered a crime so you note the difference between the two.What happened on the 6 was directly tied to Trump supporters who made videos of themselves and even said Trump sent them and were charged for it and some are still being searched for? You talk about the Mueller investigation as a win when Mueller clearly started there was no evidence of collusion after 2 years of investigation. This is a fact that you can't deny.I am talking about what the American intelligence agencies said about Russia interfering with the election or can you deny that since you know more than them or were they a part of the democrats when they made such claim you can google search this. And read the link below to understand what really happened in the mueller investigation I picked a neutral non controversial news site for you to read it on [url]https://www.google.com/amp/s/time.com/5610317/mueller-report-myths-breakdown/%3famp=true[/url] |

CoolUsername:You clearly are over your head and don’t know what you are talking about. Trump has already been impeached twice, that is done and dusted. The impending Senate trial is not to impeach, the US Senate cannot impeach the President, only the House can do that. The Senate job is to setup a trial for a President who has already been impeached by the House. No Judge recuse himself. John Robert, the Chief Justice only presides, if the Senate trial is over a seating President, Trump is no longer the President, therefore the Senate Pro Tempore is the one presiding over the trial. Yes, everyone know the Senate will not convict him, no US President has ever been convicted in the Senate.....regardless of what happens in the Senate, Trump is the only President in House History that have been impeached twice. Your arguments about impeachment or non impeachment offense are baseless. He does not have to tell the mob to go destroy the Capitol, in fact the House comes up what they think are impeachable offended base on their understanding of the constitution and they put it to a vote and the House has impeached him on those charges period! No court in the US can undo the impeachment and the Senate certainly cannot undo it. So, as it stands, Trump has been impeached for crimes the House have adjudged as been impeachable offenses a d that is finito, if you don’t agree, you are just arguing with yourself, your your agreement is not sort and not needed. |

linearity:Thanks for contributing to our conversation but you haven't added anything new. I already said that impeachment is based on the whims of congress. I don't really know who you're arguing with. However, what is still up for debate is whether you can impeach someone who has already left office. I argued that it could lead to something like Obama getting impeached whenever republicans take hold of congress which doesn't make any sense. You'd have seen all this if you'd read my arguments. |

CoolUsername:How do you deal with a president who commits a crime in his last days or weeks in office? What should happen if Trump actually shot someone on 5th avenue in broad daylight light few weeks to the end of his tenure? Are you suggesting that during the lame duck period, a president can steal, kill and commit any crime with no repercussions whatsoever? What happens if a president commits a serious crime and then resigns, should his indictments and trial be discontinued because he is no longer in office? What is the remedy for a US president that is found to have committed a crime while in office, that is after he has left office? Besides this case is different, Trump was indicted (impeached) while he was in office, what is remaining is a trial to determine if he is guilty as charged or innocent. |

CoolUsername:I guess, that response most have been for another post.... To your question, but you are still confusing the two events i.e. impeachment vs indictment of a US President or official. Only the House have the prerogative to impeached an elected US President or official, The Senate have no role to play in the impeachment process and yes, there is precedent in the US House impeaching officials who were no longer in service, google it. However, in the case of Trump....The question if he can be impeached after he has left office is not applicable. Trump was impeached by the House on January, 13th, 2021 and he left office on January 20th, 2021. The argument should be, if a US President can be convicted by the Senate after he have left the Presidency. This has not been tested in the courts before, more so no US President has even been convicted by the Senate...and we all know that Trump will not be convicted, but his impeachment started and was concluded while he was still in office. We should also note that, a US Senate conviction of an impeached President have other sanctions beyond just the removal from office. |
| Re: Donald Trump's Entire Legal Team Quits A Week Before Impeachment Trial by CoolUsername: 8:58pm On Feb 01, 2021 |
wirinet:My bad for using the term impeachment since it applies differently in America. However, the senate's power to convict a President, probably doesn't apply once he's left office. Not that senate will convict anyway. Like I said, political theatre. To answer your question, if Trump shot and killed someone in broad daylight. Do you think removal from office and a ban from holding office is sufficient punishment? Because that's all the conviction will actually do. |
| Re: Donald Trump's Entire Legal Team Quits A Week Before Impeachment Trial by wirinet(m): 10:06pm On Feb 01, 2021 |
CoolUsername:That would be a question for the Supreme Court to decide. There are constitutional lawyers that argue both sides. It's obvious that the Senate as presently constituted and with the present atmosphere will never summon the numbers to convict a Trump. And I doubt that's the goal of the Democrats. Just like the Ukraine impeachment, the Democrats want to expose to the public and call witnesses to expose the extent of Trump's involvement in the insurgency. Most Americans (except Republicans) are appalled by the desecration of the actual symbol of democracy, which the inner chambers of the Capitol stands for. To answer your question, if Trump shot and killed someone in broad daylight. Do you think removal from office and a ban from holding office is sufficient punishment? Because that's all the conviction will actually do.It might not be sufficient punishment, but it is a punishment all the same. You refused to provide an answer to the man question - How do you deal with a president who commits a crime in his last days or weeks in office? What happens if a president commits a serious crime and then resigns, should his indictments and trial be discontinued because he is no longer in office? What is the remedy for a US president that is found to have committed a crime while in office, that is after he has left office? |

CoolUsername:March to the Capitol to do what? Stop the Senate from carrying out its constitutional duty? So what happens if the Congress was unable to ratify the electoral college? will Trump continue as President without constitutional backing? This is an election that has pass through all known constitutional process. Or maybe we can blame the dems for the shooting of Steve Scalise since the perp bought into Dem propaganda that Trump was ruining democracy.Did the most senior democrats - Nancy Pelosi tell her supporters to shoot Steve Scalise in order to stop Trump from performing his constitutional duty? The Democrats truly feels that Trump is ruining US democracy, but they did not call their supporters to attack Trump physically. This has to be the most partisan and biased take on a situation I've seen in recent times. Are you saying that BLM rioters didn't burn down buildings or pull down statues? Are you saying they didn't create an autonomous zone during the protest? Even with all the video evidence?Black lives matter protest were not about stopping Trump or Republicans from performing their legal duty, it was about the decades long police brutality against blacks in America. BLM did not start with trump. You talk about the Mueller investigation as a win when Mueller clearly started there was no evidence of collusion after 2 years of investigation. This is a fact that you can't deny.For the umpteenth time, Mueller never said there was no evidence of collusion. What he said was that with the constraints from the justice department and the white house, he could not prove collusion. But Congress could take up obstruction of evidence against trump or he could be charged after leaving office. |

wirinet:It won't have been the first protest at capitol hill. There have been countless protests scheduled there. This particular one spiraled out of control. But it is disingenuous to claim that the mere act of organising a protest is a call to violence. Whether you agree with the reason or not, protests are a legal right. wirinet:Did senior republicans tell Trump supporters to break into the capitol? You feel republicans are responsible for Jan 6 because of their rhetoric but you won't extend that logic to democrats. Show me where Trump told people to break into capitol hill. wirinet:You're missing my point. Why are democrats allowed to support a protest that turns violent, one that, mind you, led to the burning down of a federal courthouse and dozens of deaths. Why do we then clutch our pearls when republicans do the same? The sheer hypocrisy is astounding. Besides, the violent protests stopped the government from doing its legal duty, keeping citizens safe. But it doesn't help the narrative to care about that, does it? wirinet:Is you can't prove guilt, then the accused is innocent. They can't prove that Trump colluded with the Russians the same way Trump can't prove widespread election fraud. However, the media tells us that one is a reasonable concern but the other is an attack on democracy. The real answer is that both sides are dirty liars that would do anything to discredit their opposition. |
