Recommended Posts



Good - we need to get all of the Trump mess out of the way so we can move forward.  Best to hit it hard while Jan 6th is fresh in everyone's minds.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi plans to send the article of impeachment against Donald Trump to the Senate on Monday, launching the start of the former president’s trial on a charge of incitement of insurrection over the deadly Capitol riot.

“There will be a trial,” Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said in making the announcement Friday. “It will be a full trial, it will be a fair trial.”

Trump is the first president to be twice impeached and the first to face a trial after leaving office.

While the transmission of the article launches the trial proceedings, the schedule ahead remains uncertain as the Senate, now in Democratic control, is also working to swiftly confirm President Joe Biden’s Cabinet nominees and tackle the new administration’s legislative priorities.

Biden says the Senate can do both and Schumer said he also speaking to Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell about the “timing and duration” of the proceedings ahead.

“Senate Republicans strongly believe we need a full and fair process,” McConnell said after Schumer spoke. On Thursday he proposed delaying the start of Trump’s trial to February to give the former president time to prepare and review his case. Trump is still assembling his legal team..

House Democrats who voted to impeach Trump last week for inciting the deadly Jan. 6 Capitol riot say a full reckoning is necessary before the country — and the Congress — can move on.

“We have about 30-40 of us. We are sticking together and sticking to the plan,” co-defendant Jessica Watkins, 38, an Army veteran, said while the breach was underway, according to court documents.

Self-styled militia members planned Capitol storming in advance of Jan. 6 - The Washington Post

 

Sticking to "the plan" = there was a plan.  Lol at anyone who still thinks Trump incited the riot with a fiery speech, when the fighting started long before the President was done speaking.

trump incited the insurrectionists beginning in at least December.

 

19 December – Be there, will be wild

At 1.42am in the early hours of 19 December Trump tweeted the lie that it was “statistically impossible” for him to have lost the presidential election. He gave his first notice of a “big protest in DC” on 6 January. “Be there, will be wild!” he said.

19 December – The cavalry is coming

Within hours, fervent Trump supporters began to heed Trump’s rallying cry. Kylie Jane Kremer, founder of a Stop the Steal group banned by Facebook, picked up the notice about the march and ran with it. “The calvary (sic) is coming, Mr President!” she said.

Trump retweeted Kremer’s post, saying: “A great honor!”

1 January – You got to go to the streets and be violent

Louie Gohmert, a Republican Congress member from Texas, responded in inflammatory terms to news that his federal lawsuit seeking to force the vice president Mike Pence to block certification of Joe Biden’s victory had been dismissed.

“The bottom line is, the court is saying, ‘We’re not going to touch this. You have no remedy’,” he told the right-wing outlet Newsmax. “Basically, in effect, the ruling would be that you got to go to the streets and be as violent as Antifa.”

3 January – We will not go quietly into the night

Ted Cruz, the US senator from Texas who became a leading proponent of challenging the electoral college vote in Congress to overturn Trump’s defeat, addressed a rally in Georgia. “We will not go quietly into the night. We will defend liberty. And we are going to win.”

5 January – They will be primaried

Eric Trump, the president’s son, made a direct political threat to any Republican member of Congress who dared vote in favor of Biden’s electoral college victory at the following day’s ceremonial joint session. “I will personally work to defeat every single Republican Senator / Congressman who doesn’t stand up against this fraud – they will be primaried in their next election and they will lose.”
