Trump invited supporters to "wild" protest, and told them to fight. They did.

Don't forget that an action to invoke the 25th amendment has to be taken by the current VP, not Biden.

 

However there must be a million other incidents where he could be charged with serious crimes even while he's president. Or at least very seriously shamed to the point where he withdraws.

Not going to happen, Pence won't do that. He can't afford to alienate 74 million potential Pence voters.

Have you noticed, everything in the Newspapers is, Trump supporters mob, but earlier last year, 2020, when Portland and other cities were being burned to the ground, it was BLM peaceful protests this or Antifa peaceful protests that.  Our Main Stream Media has moved so far left, they might as well open their main offices in Beijing.  

It's 'Trumps supporters mob' simply because they were there on his bequest, he addressed them and urged them to 'fight', to march on Congress and '“We will never give up, we will never concede,”. 

Contrast this with the vast majority of the BLM protests being peacful (only idiots at night rioting) and more importantly, condemned by the Dems and Biden and you can clearly see why this has been labelled as  'Trumps supporters mob'. 

He started it and needs to own it.

In something that looked like a scene out of the movie "Animal House," a small gang of trouble makers (fraternity boys?), one wearing horns, struck fear in the hearts of the nation's elite, some of whom fled to security bunkers.  Even on this forum many appear to be terrified of what might happen next.  Trump on social media once again assured the nation he would leave the White House on January 20th.  He also denounced the rascals who took over the Capitol.  He stopped short of putting them on "double secret probation" (see the movie).

 

Time to come out guys, everything is fine.

Yeah right, frat house

Just to be clear. He died from injuries sustained while battling rioters. Don't remember seeing that in Animal House.

Woman fatally shot as pro-Trump mob stormed the Capitol identified as Air Force veteran

...

"In early September, she tweeted a picture from a Trump boat parade in San Diego wearing a shirt that said, “We are Q,” referring to QAnon, the far-right conspiracy theory. The tweet also included the hashtag “#WWG1WGA,” an acronym used by supporters who believe in the claims that Trump was battling a group of “deep state” child abusers.

 

Babbitt also retweeted messages calling for Vice President Pence to resign and be charged with treason, videos of Trump rallies and photos of the president’s supporters flying to D.C. for the protests."
