And yet you seem to have conveniently forgotten shit the left has been saying for four years, and more precisely all summer and winter since Floyd.Ibanez wrote: ↑Fri Feb 12, 2021 11:24 amWe certainly didn't get here in a vaccum. Agreed.SDHornet wrote: ↑Fri Feb 12, 2021 11:08 am
My question was more to the general audience and not you specifically. I haven't tuned into any of the impeachment nonsense, but from the headlines I see it's all the typical gaslighting "Orange Man Bad" stuff without acknowledging the violence that was encouraged this past summer by the other side. And no, they are not the same but we didn't get to the Jan 6th Riot in a vacuum.
It seems i'm one of the few people here that has no problem saying any politician that did what Trump is accused of should be punished.

That's not the issue. I don't think he was directing the riot. His words and actions, however, helped fuel the fire.SDHornet wrote: ↑Fri Feb 12, 2021 11:29 amEh, what he said leading up to the event deserve scrutiny. I don't buy into the idea that he was directly behind/incited the actions of individuals. There would be other legal ramifications if so. His speech on Jan 6th indicated a peaceful tact and not a violent one. Also if it was cut an dry, you'd see more than the spurned anti-Trump Senators jumping on the vote for impeachment.
All in all a complete waste of time that will only embolden Trump and the "Trumpist" movement further.

Sure, as did many others on pretty much every side of the spectrum. Ergo he'll be acquitted.Ibanez wrote: ↑Fri Feb 12, 2021 11:46 amThat's not the issue. I don't think he was directing the riot. His words and actions, however, helped fuel the fire.SDHornet wrote: ↑Fri Feb 12, 2021 11:29 am

Re: Trump Impeachment Part Duex
I haven't. But show me a candidate spend months before an election telling their supporters that any loss means there's fraud..and then spend months after the loss telling everyone it's rigged and there's fraud...and then call states demanding they overturn the results...and then demand that the VP ignore the votes in Congress. When did a Democrat do anything like that?
I must've missed Hilary's "Stop the Steal" rallies and her spending almost half a year telling Democrats that the election will be rigged, was rigged and that the Antifa should Stand By.
Yep, I must've missed all of that.

But that argument, " Democrats did it" is BS. Because someone else did something stupid isn't an excuse for your bad behavior.

Re: Trump Impeachment Part Duex
Agreed, but again this didn't happen in a vacuum. If Trump directly called for his supporters to storm the "gates" at the Capitol then we'd be having a different conversation. He didn't, he called for a peaceful tact in his speech.

Re: Trump Impeachment Part Duex
Well you will never find ALL that in one candidate on the left because there was only ONE guy who was president doing that. But almost all those things were done by multiple candidates on the left over the past four years.Ibanez wrote: ↑Fri Feb 12, 2021 11:51 amI haven't.

Re: Trump Impeachment Part Duex
You're talking about 1 speech and are ignoring the totality of what led up to that speech. He told a militia group to stand by and stand ready. He and his surrogates told them their country was in danger, to fight like hell, trial by combat, go to the Capitol and support he Republicans. He did a lot more than say be peaceful, one time in one speech.

Re: Trump Impeachment Part Duex
Again, none of the others are voted on in THAT building, so you’re probably not going to get that. If that’s your “qualifier”, then the only person who’s probably going to meet your standards IS the president, or a presidential candidate. But that’s not the only position that lemmings take their marching orders from, when parsing violent rhetoric.

But you do raise a good point. And to your argument, and I said it last summer, and Democrat that was egging on the rioters deserved to be punished. ESPECIALLY if lives were lost because of it all.

Re: Trump Impeachment Part Duex
Do you not remember in 2018, after being whipped up by the left, including by donks in Congress, you had a mob of lefties storm the Capitol trying to prevent the confirmation of a SCOTUS justice, and 300 were arrested?

Re: Trump Impeachment Part Duex
I do. Remind me please, did they break into area's they weren't allowed? Did they vandalize the building? Remind me - did they erect a gallows and threaten to murder any politicians? Did they attack and beat the shit out any police? Did they ransack and rob any offices? Regardless, if Congress had tried to censure or punish any elected official which took part, I would have supported it. That's the difference between you and I - I have no loyalty to any party or ideology and am free to criticize and praise them.

Haven’t caught up on this thread but some dude on MSNBC said the defense’s closing arguments and use of video is like watching a Hannity episode.
Re: Trump Impeachment Part Duex
https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/de ... story.html
Here's an article. Where did they destroy property, threaten to murder people, and rob congressional offices?
Chanting and yoga poses!?!! That's what I expect from lefties.Then dozens of protesters pushed past the police line and occupied the Supreme Court steps, chanting, pumping fists, one doing yoga poses. The steps were quickly filled.
To my earlier point - the bad behavior of one group doesn't give you an excuse to do the same. You seem to disagree.
