I commend you for having the integrity to admit it. Respectfully, I suggest you try googling these things. I was immediately suspicious of your video and it took me about 10 seconds to find a fact checking website on it.
Well said.
Mitt Romney gave a poignant speech after the insurrection.
He asked, what should elected representatives do, when their constituents have been mislead, and the election is being stolen from them, and they are angry, and feel they haven’t been listened to?
Mitt’s answer, which he...
Trump should attend, sickening though his presence may be.
For Trump to not attend may send a signal to some of his violent followers that the inauguration is a target. Think about it. Everyone else will be there.
We should assume everything Trump does, even choosing not to attend the...
Being against Trump now, after he has literally betrayed us all, including his own party and his own supporters, is nice.
Sadly, this is a bit like deploying the airbags after impact.
My concern with Trump was always focused not just on what he did, but also the way his actions portended what...
I don’t want to derail the thread from the subject, but just to clarify: do you really think of Biden as “evil” or are you just using that as a figure of speech here to illustrate limited choices?
I figure it’s the latter, since atheists like you and me normally view humans as humans, and judge...
People don’t seem to understand that Trump is like the monster in a B horror film. Just when you let your guard down because you think he’s been incapacitated, that’s when he gets up and renews the attack in an encore of terror. He doesn’t stop.
“Thank goodness that’s over” is not the...
From NYT:
In his opening, Mr. Trump claimed that he “immediately deployed the National Guard” to “expel the intruders,” despite accounts from people familiar with the events saying he had resisted those calls and that it was, in fact, Mr. Pence who had ordered the National Guard to deploy...
I see this as a very binary decision.
What percentage chance that Trump would press the button is acceptable? Zero.
If the chances are greater then zero, he needs to go immediately.
I doubt he could be convicted of inciting an insurrection from a criminal / legal standpoint.
But from a moral / political standpoint he has violated his oath to the Constitution and should be removed, if logistical and practical circumstances allow, and if a legal pathway (such as impeachment)...
Yes, people see this differently. However I must say that when people like Trump, Guiliani and his supporters act in bad faith, how they see things becomes less relevant than what they are trying to do. And that is change the outcome - irrespective of election integrity.
Case in point: Trump...
That is a really interesting point.
Will he blame his own followers, the people at his rallies, the people who stormed the Capital, for his failure and defeat? Besides himself, he has almost no one else left to blame.
Let’s do a thought experiment. Imagine January 6 without Donald Trump.
How does that day unfold any differently than any previous session of Congress in our lifetimes?
