He was bleating about the election being rigged in 2016.
He was bleating about the election being rigged in 2016.It's similar to when he telegraphed his narrative of how the 2020 election would be "stolen" half a year in advance. When he inevitably did it everybody was basically prepared.
Yeah, I guess it's just what he does.He was bleating about the election being rigged in 2016.
That is exactly what McConnell and McCarthy wanted when they killed the Independent Commission.The 01/06 Committee is a partisan witch hunt. (Don't say it's got 2 Republicans, they are both "partisans" too).
Yes, it's politics to investigate an attempt to overturn an election, and then an attack on our Capitol. What other than politics could explain Congress caring to know more about those events? It is truly a mystery! Obviously, there's no legitimate interest in investigating either of those events!Well, IMO he does not have to "yell 'it's all politics'" because it IS "all politics."

I would prefer Trump not run. I am not sure he could actually win, even with all the anger developing over the progressive policies of the Biden regime.
But IMO trying to stop a potential run simply because of personal hatreds is not a very "democratic" way of handling elections.
Neither of those things have any chance of happening. You should know this by now. The GOP is now the POT and he will take the party down with him and they will deserve everything they get. The rule of law cannot be stopped and you should know that too.1. The elders of the Republican Party should visit Mr. Trump (for whom I voted twice and would do so again) and tell him NOT to run. That would be a sign of his patriotism. The nation simply could not tolerate another one of his campaigns.
2. The elders of the Democratic Party should visit the current Attorney General and tell him NOT to prosecute Mr. Trump, not even for jaywalking. Just let him fade away. Most Americans are too darn busy with their precarious financial situation to give any thought to him anyway.
It is time for the adults in both parties to clean up things.
I have heard this repeatedly over the past year, "partisan witch hunt". If you're an American citizen, wouldn't you want to know how this all happened, who planned it, were there others from inside Congress who were aware of this happening? Wouldn't you like to know how this country can avoid another 'Jan 6' in the future? Don't you want to know who was responsible for the lack of manpower by Capitol police? How come you don't want to protect our democracy in the future, since it literally was on the line on Jan 6, 2021?Well, IMO he does not have to "yell 'it's all politics'" because it IS "all politics."

Do you 'REALLY' want to know who planned all that? For the most part, the planners were all at the Willard Hotel on the night of Jan 5. If you want to 'really' know who planned it, just check the guest list for the Willard on that day. This is what the Jan 6 committee has been doing. Finding out who's responsible.I would LOVE to know "who planned it," if in fact someone planned to actually enter the Congress and disrupt the proceedings.
Like who organized those "red hats" led by Mr. Ray Epps that were seeking entry into the Capitol as declared the night prior (to the derision of everyone who heard them that night). Those same "Red Caps" led by that same Mr. Epps who convinced people to head to the capitol early and then convinced certain members to break down barricades and urged the crowd using bullhorns to "enter the capitol."
However, I don't see this 01/06 "Committee" doing any such thing. Their SOLE purpose (after failing to successfully impeach Trump for it) is to try to find a way to charge him anyway.
Well if this were a true "fact finding" committee in THIS regard, then where is the invetigation into why:
Pelosi turned down the offer of National Guard protection, approved by President Trump?
Why were the Capitol Police not fully staffed and prepared?
Why didn't Pelosi seek assistance from the D.C. police?
Those are just a few questions a true investigation would seek to answer.
It is quite easy to avoid another such incident. Simply take steps suggested by the above questions whenever there is a concern. After all, isn't that what some States and locales did during the various "approved" demonstrations (read RIOTS) that occurred with Democrat blessings during the Trump Administration?
I'm sick of all the ad hominin labeling, straw man deflections, and confirmation bias projecting that YOUR side of the argument always pushed forward whenever your assertions are challenged.
But one has to deal with what one is presented with.
lol still crying because co-conspirators weren't allowed on the committee.Well, IMO he does not have to "yell 'it's all politics'" because it IS "all politics."

Hunt? Theres no 'hunt' involved. Those dumbasses smiled for the cameras while they broke in, stole and vandalized. The only hunt is putting names to faces.Well, IMO he does not have to "yell 'it's all politics'" because it IS "all politics."

I don't know if that will make a difference, but I feel like there are some weird laws about not messing around with political candidates running. I could be remembering something wrong though, as it's only a vague impression. However, my position is that no one should be above the law.I have been listening to talking heads on the tub talking about the idea that Trump will announce his candidacy for president earlier that otherwise expected to stop n indictment from either the Feds, New York or Georgia. The idea would be he could yell it is all politics if indicted. I am not asking if trump is guilty or not, but if any candidate for president, or even any other office, should be indicted while running for that office? My opinion would be if the evidence is there for a substantial offense, then yes, you can and should indict.
I don't think it is a law but rather a DOJ policy.......I don't know if that will make a difference, but I feel like there are some weird laws about not messing around with political candidates running.

If it's just a policy then it's basically meaningless, though wasn't Hillary investigated leading up to 2016? So *shrug* No one is above the law.I don't think it is a law but rather a DOJ policy.......

If I were him I'd wait until after the midterm and the congressional members are sworn it. It's likely to end this mess as the republicans look poised to take both houses. If that happens the republicans are going to stop the investigations and Cheney and Kinzinger will have no say. Kinzinger will be out and Cheney may be reelected but will have no voice.
Announcing now may just stir the pot. Democrats are incensed with hate for Trump and nothing matters more to them.
He was bleating about the election being rigged in 2016.
For similar reasons that dictators hold 'elections' in which they get 99% of the vote. The purpose isn't plausibility, but to undermine the perceived legitimacy of elections in general, and create a sense of alienation for any critics; in Trump's case only Republican critics for now, of course, who are naturally subject to accusations of covering for and colluding with 'the enemy' if they maintain that the elections are legitimate.Yeah, I guess it's just what he does.
The lame "prosecuting political enemies" line would only work if the investigation starts when he declares candidacy.
All of this started way before he would ever declare candidacy. The grand juries in NY, DC and in Georgia have been working for months now so this is just a continuation of the process that trump himself set in motion with his own actions.
I wonder why the trump people were very good with LOCK HER UP! For no criminal reason, yet would see an indictment through proper constitutional due process as political persecution.
Trump has more than likely committed many crimes. If he has, the last thing we should do is let him get away with it. It will only be a green light for others to do it if they don't like the result of an election.
Being president doesn't make anyone above the law. Being an ex president doesn't make anyone above the law.
Even though the DOJ claims they can't indict a president, there is nothing in the constitution that prohibits it.
Let trump try to claim political persecution. Most people in our nation don't believe a word that comes from his mouth anymore.
We should let due process continue and play out according to our laws and constitution and let the chips fall where the rightly belong.
I agree. It shouldn't make any difference if one is an announced candidate or not. It would look political to many people as it would be Democratic DA’s or AG or the DOJ doing the indictment. But that is what it is. Being an announced candidate for the presidency is different from being a nominated candidate for a political party. An announced candidate is just someone, anyone who states he is running for the presidency. Trump would be one of hundreds if one counts both major parties, all third parties, independents, and any others I forgot. I always like the guy from New York I think, that ran for the presidency under the party of, “My Rent is too Damn High,” party.I have been listening to talking heads on the tub talking about the idea that Trump will announce his candidacy for president earlier that otherwise expected to stop n indictment from either the Feds, New York or Georgia.

So harass someone who has done nothing and drive them to extremes. That's exactly how this looks to anyone on the republican side. If democrats had ever tried to work with the newly elected President instead of declaring him an illegitimate President things may have turned out much different. Because you don't like his personality is no excuse for what the democrats started from the very beginning. Now the democrats cry because he got 3 justices appointed through the allowed process and they can't stand it.They were right to pursue him from the start, a person like Trump always needs strong opposition, look what he did, and think what he may be waiting to do if opportunity affords.
If it wasn't for his tax cut, no impeachment, no defeat.
I agree in normal situations but the democrats have corrupted every process since Trump announced he was running. The real problem is they were all embarassed, the politicians, the media, the trump haters, never trumpers, everyone who laughed out load and went on left wing talk shows claiming it could never happen, guaranteed! So to recover their dignity they have to get trump. Sick bunch of power hungry politicians. They aren't a damn bit better than Trump.I agree.

If the evidence is there, indict him, charge him, bring him to trial. If it looks like a political vendetta, so be it. In our two party system, there’s no way to get around that.
The FBI investigation into the email thing was reopened a couple weeks before the vote. Announced to be reopened, anyway, nothing ever came of it.If it's just a policy then it's basically meaningless, though wasn't Hillary investigated leading up to 2016? So *shrug* No one is above the law.
Oh, Trump done plenty, but when he passed his tax cut he did it all in, if not for anything else, because it was same as Bush, so I knowed, and did what I know how.So harass someone who has done nothing and drive them to extremes. That's exactly how this looks to anyone on the republican side.

Republicans are coming back to power and the democrats will cry and whine and claim cheating, because that's just what they do.

Not sure what you've been eating, but that's a hell of a result for the 4thi've seen a bunch of American flag shits over the last few days. i think we should see some of these...
