Biden is very unappealing to us Republicans, but he should be campaigning on January 6th. I don’t think I can vote for Trump after skimming the last few pages of this thread and remembering his inaction on January 6th. So dangerous for our democracy.

Aaron Dean, the adjutant general of the D.C. guard at the time, told House Administration Committee staffers that if Trump had reached out that day — which, by all accounts, he did not — he might have helped cut through the chaos amid a tangle of conflicting advice and miscommunication.”

This is the primary reason, an indisputable reason, Trump should never hold public office again. A mob of hundreds breached security at the US Capitol and he, as the sitting president, sat a mile away and watched it on TV for hours without doing anything as his staff and family frantically tried to push him into action. Biden may be a very weak presidential candidate for the job through 2029 but he is qualified for the position. Trump's failure to fulfill his duties as Commander-in-Chief that day disqualify him permanently in the minds of any sane American. Integrity matters most.

Pretty sure he was involved in the planning of said coup. That to me is even more disqualifying, though I suppose this we all got to watch.

Whether or not J6 should be considered a coup attempt or an insurrection is up for debate. There is some gray area in that debate. We know for sure a mob of hundreds forcefully breached security at the US Capitol and our president watched it happen for several hours while ignoring pleas for help and doing nothing to assist in securing the building and the safety of many high ranking government officials inside. Emails, text message, tweets, phone records and testimony under oath by those in Trump's inner circle exposed exactly what Trump was doing and where he was from the time security was first breached at the Capitol to the time the building was secured. The partisan crowd can debate where or not this was a coup attempt but there is nothing to debate regarding Trump's inaction after a mob of hundreds forcefully breached security at the US Capitol.

Guessing you're a bot, a middling HS student, or an op as you are unfamiliar with how the branches of federal government work.

Yes you tell it like it is! SCOTUS is above the law.

Were you in study hall? Why don't you read up more about the early history of the US to understand the three branches. Also, the founders clearly didn't anticipate that the enemy within might not be just one militia, but a whole political party who had already usurped one of the three branches, making appointments to the bench by presidents who were not elected with the popular vote.
