Banjo,

There were a number of flaws in the second impeachment trial of Trump mainly:
-There was no real house inquiry, and neither was the Trump party appraised of any of the "evidence" to be presented against him which is a massive breach of protocol,
-The impeachment was overwhelmingly partisan,
-Impeachment was intended to remove a sitting public officer not a retired one,
-The legal threshold for incitement requires that Trump directly ask for the capitol to be stormed. While his language was inflamatory, at no point did he do this.
-Much of the evidence the Democrats presented involved selectively edited video and tweets which if presented in a trial would result in the prosecution lawyer's disbarment.
etc.

The impeachment was a political not legal trial and as such was doomed to fail. It has also set the bar so low for impeachment, that Biden could see himself on trial as soon as the house becomes Republican.

I feel part or most of the problem people like LM and plannie have in understanding how they've been led down the garden path here is that they deliberately, actively ensure they don't see both sides of the issue.

Watch this fellas, its only 2 minutes. I know that the Time article I've been touting is, for you guys, a case of TL;DR but 2 minutes?

Plannie, who thinks the correct translation for "fight like hell" is "let's overthrow the government" will be particularly interested in the part that starts at 55 seconds. Well not interested but he will have to spend a few days un-remembering it.

Plannie wrote: ""No evidence is going to convince OLO's Trump supporters that Trump incited the mob."

And that's precisely what he offered ....no evidence.

But then he wasn't alone there. The Democrats had so little evidence that they had to manufacture lies to try to bolster their BS case.

Hi Joe

TRUMP THUG escaped justice over the Capitol Storming due to most Republican politicians being too afraid of opposing Trump publically. Such Republican politicians have a well-founded fear that Trump's followers, who have long memories, will GET THEM!

I therefore suspect that Republican politicians in GEORGIA and MICHIGAN

will be too afraid to vote against Trump over his cheating and inciting.

I think it will be down to non-politicians in NEW YORK

who can most effectively prosecute Trump over his tax and other financial sins.

See

"criminal and civil investigations into his businesses are accelerating in New York.

Manhattan prosecutors probing Trump’s real-estate business for possible insurance and tax fraud have stepped up witness interviews in recent months and hired forensic accountants, four people familiar with the criminal probe told Reuters. A separate state attorney general’s civil probe into whether the business falsely reported property values got a boost on Jan. 29, when a New York Supreme Court judge ordered the Trump Organization to turn over documents...."

Dear McHazy

I've consulted the Great Democrat in the Sky.

He/She dubs thee:

a "Tool Repeating Uttering Meaningless Phrases (TRUMP)"

Cheers :)

Dear McHazy

CORRECTIVE. I sell thee short, mon ami.

Looking skyward I've further consulted that Great Old Democrat (GOD).

He/She gives thee a choice. You be:

1. a "Tool Repeatedly Uttering Meaningless Phrases (TRUMP)"

OR

2. a "Troglodyte Repeatedly Uttering Meaningless Phrases (TRUMP)"

Very mature Plantagenet. Do you always become this deranged when proven to be deranged?

Meanwhile SR will be thrilled to learn that the NYT has retracted its story about the police office being killed by a fire extinguisher.

Doesn't it piss you off when the facts refuse to align with what you want to be true.
