He did that after he told people at the ellipse to head to the captiol. He did that after he told people in December to come to DC on Jan 6, that it would be wild. He did that after, oh never mind. |
They wouldn't, because as you noted, he is ineligible. Why would they try? |
More attention for Trump
The man is playing 5d chess where everything gains him attention and strength. I’m beginning to think he is the highest IQ on the planet. |
Can you explain? I thought Trump's immunity claim was based on his claim that he was ensuring that the laws were faithfully executed? His words on January 6 (as well as before) would seem to be a separate issue of the First Amendment (i.e. Constitutionally-protected speech can't be the basis for a charge of insurrection). |
The constitution doesn’t say anything about being convicted of insurrection. |
He did call for people to protest the election that he thought had been stolen. Which people do have a right to do. But it remains there is no evidence, not one shred of evidence, that he plotted and encouraged people to violently overthrow congress on J6. Which falls into the same category as the Russian collusion. I'll agree he behaved very badly as a spoiled and paranoid loser but that is the extent of what he did on J6. |
That’s not the only thing Trump posted on Twitter in January 6. |
You still don’t get it? The Colorado Supreme Court has ruled that Trump is just as ineligible as Obama is. |
Seems like this might be one way for the Supreme Court to dodge the 14th Amendment question. If the Supreme Court rules that what Trump said was protected by the 1st Amendment, then how could be be the basis for a charge of insurrection under the 14th Amendment? |
Nah just the luckiest conman … |
Except he knew from his staff, his campaign staff, his consultants, the results of the legal cases, etc that it wasn't stolen. And he knew that in November, December and yes, January 6. So...knowing that it wasn't stolen, inducing people on that lie to do his bidding at the Capitol would be _______ (fill in the blank) |
Proud Boys, stand back and stand by How do YOU interpret this public statement? |
DP Not sure but premise is off. House Jan 6 committee produced tons of evidence that this horror show was way worse than Trump behaving badly and being a sore loser. When are we going to stop normalizing his criminal behavior? It was premeditated They came close to likely murdering Pence and Pelosi if they had the chance . People were murdered and extensive property damage at the Capitol. He did not off his insurrection goon squad for many hours and made sure the national guard was not there to help protect people and property. His ongoing election fraud lies continue despite so many court cases finding no evidence of any fraud. When is enough enough? |
