Trump's legal defeat in Colorado may turn into political gold

[Danderman123]

I read today that Civil War insurrectionists were indeed removed from the ballot without a previous criminal conviction for sedition.

 

And disqualification from the ballot is a civil, not criminal, process.

 

Hmmmm...

Many more to come, probably resulting in prison time for the higher-ups. Don't you think that Rudy is going to jail? 

 

Who convicted them? It wasn't Bernie's kangaroo court was it?

It is definitely a great idea for Biden to submit to a cognitive test. Because we know that Trump supporters will portray the same openmindedness in the face of evidence that show's Biden's mental state is healthy as they did to the overwhelming evidence that the 2020 elections were stolen. OK. Maybe they weren't so openminded despite overwhelming evidence.  I want to add that I'm not accusing you of believing that the 2020 election was stolen. I'm sure you accepted the conclusions of genuine forensic experts that that those elections were free and fair and that you would bring the same rational mindset to any test results. But you are a rarity among Trump supporters.

 

Forensic experts? Right.

My opinion of politicians is based on how much they help people:

 

Lincoln ended slavery.

 

FDR started Social Security.

 

LBJ started Medicare.

 

Obama started Obamacare.

 

Biden has done a lot, too.

 

But Trump never did anything for "regular" people, he just cut taxes for the rich.

 

Biden has done a lot, too? Yep. A lot of stumbling, bumbling and spending.

Trump called on his minions to go to the Capitol to stop the steal. In the middle of his harangue, he threw in some language about doing so peacefully, but the remaining 99% of his incitement was about fighting.

 

As if Hitler, while screaming about eliminating the Jews, threw in a sentence about doing so peacefully. Just weasel words for cover.

Trump's latest argument is like Osama bin Laden claiming he wasn't guilty for 9/11

 

"Heaphy argued that just as U.S. intelligence failures did not absolve bin Laden of the terrorist attack in 2001, local law enforcement errors did not absolve Trump of the U.S. Capitol attack in 2021."

 

Most Trump talking points are lame, and only impress hard core members of the Church of the Orange Jesus.

But what a beautiful manipulation of the masses underway, Trump did nothing the first time and the second time he will surely be elected president he will do even less.

Trump says he was not watching live TV coverage of Capitol Hill riot

Former President Donald Trump on Sunday night denied that he was watching live television coverage of the deadly Capitol Hill riot.

Trump was responding to a Washington Post story that claimed he was “watching it all unfold” on Jan. 6 in the White House as chaos erupted at the Capitol.

“That’s incorrect reporting,” Trump told Fox News’ Steve Hilton.

I am getting bored but I'll give you three that Pelosi should know about:

 

1) Exactly what intelligence of any security threat to the Capitol was received prior to J6 and, if there was, who was responsible for sharing this information, was it shared and with whom?

 

2) Were any requests for additional security for the Capitol were made prior to J6 by anyone, and if so, who, and what action was taken by any party?

 

3) Why did you ask for Chief Sund's resignation? 

 

I don't expect that Pelosi will ever formally testify and answers to these questions might only partly exonerate Trump. But they could help fill a few gaps, which were ignored by the J6 circus act. They certainly might explain how the Capitol was so easily breeched.
