Does calling for a "peaceful protest" and claiming the election was stolen constitute "high crimes and misdemeanors?" That is the accusation against President Trump.

How many times did he say "peace" and how many times did he say "fight"?

Is saying "fight" a high crime or a misdemeanor in your opinion.

Quote anything you claim President Trump said that instructed people to illegally take over the US Capital and overthrow the American government. Be specific. You bing ordered to make the purpose of your life hating Trump is not proof of anything.

Invalid OP and invalid poll options.

Trump (and his enablers) called for far more than "peaceful protest" of the election results.

Maybe you didn't hear it, but the True Trump Supporters© heard it. They thought Trump was ordering them to revolution, because that is what they are saying.

Quote Trump calling for an insurrectionist attack in the Capital to overthrow the government - or you got nothing.

You hate Trump and his "enablers" is not proof anything but about your psychological nature.

No, the accusation is that Trump incited a violent mob to storm the Capitol to stop Congress from finishing a democratic election process. That is a high crime.

No one is guilty of anything because of what someone else thinks. That is how absurd the impeachment is.

A Hilary Clinton supporter shot over 100 LGTBQs at a nightclub - killing 49. Why isn't Hilary Clinton in prison for mass murder? Why isn't Bernie Sanders in prison for murder for his Boston Marathon bomber?

It would appear to some that you haven't yet read the actual articles of impeachment. The full text is here:

www.cnn.com

READ: The House of Representatives' article of impeachment against Donald Trump | CNN Politics

Democrats in the House of Representatives on Tuesday evening released the final text of their resolution to impeach President Donald Trump, charging him with "incitement of insurrection." The House will vote on the single article of impeachment on Wednesday.
www.cnn.com www.cnn.com

It provides context that is sorely lacking in your misguided characterization of the case:

In the months preceding the Joint Session, President Trump repeatedly issued false statements asserting that the Presidential election results were the product of widespread fraud and should not be accepted by the American people or certified by State or Federal officials. Shortly before the Joint Session commenced, President Trump addressed a crowd at the Ellipse in Washington, DC. There, he reiterated false claims that "we won this election, and we won it by a landslide". He also willfully made statements that, in context, encouraged - and foreseeably resulted in - lawless action at the Capitol, such as: "if you don't fight like hell you're not going to have a country anymore". Thus incited by President Trump, members of the crowd he had addressed, in an attempt to, among other objectives, interfere with the Joint Session's solemn constitutional duty to certify the results of the 2020 Presidential election, unlawfully breached and vandalized the Capitol, injured and killed law enforcement personnel, menaced Members of Congress, the Vice President, and Congressional personnel, and engaged in other violent, deadly, destructive, and seditious acts.

But you knew this.
 
Just listen to him speak to the crowd on the 6th and then watch some of the videos from the mob. He incited an insurrection and deserves to be punished for it.

Pretty much.

[Trump]: The election was stolen! Mike Pence didn't have the courage to do the right thing! Fight like hell or you won't have a country anymore!
[Angry Mob]: Stop the Steal! Hang Mike Pence!
[Trumpanzees]: Wait, Trump didn't incite anything. He said peacefully once. He's really a victim of the Deep State!

The supporters of the old fat white racial segregationists do hate freedom of speech. All corporate fascists do.
