Banjo, the Dems are just scum, and they will lie, cheat, bully, threaten and basically do anything they want, to get their way. Now as for that filthy, lying, evil, slag of an ugly skank of a dog, Pelosi, well I would be very proud to be the one to drive a road train over her, and as is customary, TRY, to reverse back over her. She is one vial, rabid, rancid Cruella de-Ville's twin sister. What a disgusting, petulant, hag. I can't stand her, and seeing her carry on like some kind of virtuous saint is just untenable. If she is the best example of the Democraps, then I now fully understand that they are a mentally deranged, mentally ill mob. Now remember one thing, that exonerates Trump. And that is, that what happened at Capital Hill on the 6th, was no more than a walk in the park, compared to the mayhem, death and destruction the Dems have unleashed on innocent people, not a govt building, which some could argue belongs to the people anyway, no innocent people and their property, burned, looted, vandalised. The Dems are real thugs and morons, so why in hells name did/don't we hear about all that truly dangerous antics by the Dems? That bitch Pelosi has never even hinted a word of apology or remorse for the devastation caused by the Dems, which has been a million times worse that the incident of the 6th.
At least Trump did try to calm things down, even though HE did or said NOTHING to do with the actions on the 6th.
So I'd like to see Pelosi choke on her words as I and the rest of the world look on.

Banjo, Plant,

The 2 fatal flaws in the arguments of the prosecution are:

1 - The for speeches or statements to meet the legal definition for the crime of "incitement" the main requirement is that there is a clear and unambiguous instruction to commit a particular act. That at no time did Trump instruct anyone to attack the Capitol building means that this has not been met. That the Democratic "prosecution" spent hours trying to convince senators of Trump's intent at the time is clear evidence that they had failed.

2 - Much of the "evidence" presented by the Democrats rested on clips of his speech that were edited (segments spliced together) to convey a message that neither existed nor was intended. In a court of law, the lawyer doing this would lose his license.

3, 4, 5 are procedural issues such as not providing the defence with any evidence prior to the proceedings etc.

Dear ALTRAV,

.

Your last post looks like a cocktail of hate, frustration and paranoia, ALTRAV. You shouldn’t get carried away like that. It’s not good for your blood pressure. You’ll end up having a heart attack.

I suggest you take a break or maybe do some physical exercise. If not, ask the doctor to give you something to calm you down.

The “scum, the lying, the cheating, the bullying, the threats, the filth, the evil, and the ugly skank of a dog” that you see are not in the “Dems” and Nancy Pelosi.

As somebody wisely pointed out : “beauty is in the eye of the observer”. The poison, the hate, the frustration, the paranoia, and all those other things you see, ALTRAV, are too.

I sincerely hope that you will realise, someday, that the image you are projecting on the world is preventing you from seeing it as it really is.

It's much more nuanced than you make it out to be. It’s a kaleidoscope of unique individuals of all shapes and sizes, colours and cultures, with different characteristics, qualities, defects, talents and skills, idiosyncrasies, natures, desires, ideas, opinions, beliefs, ideals, ambitions and aspirations.

The world and the people in it are not just all white or black, good or bad, male or female, conservative or progressive. They’re a mixture of all that and more. Life is an evolutionary process from the cradle to the grave and from generation to generation. Nothing is static. The person we are today is not the person we were yesterday nor the person we will be tomorrow.

Putting people in little boxes with labels on them is simplistic. It makes no sense. It’s a warped, outdated, static view of life.

It’s wrong to deny people’s humanity and individuality and their ability to evolve and change.

Even you can change, ALTRAV – if you want to.

I hope you do want to and I hope you do change.

Dear shadowminister,

Just saw your post and will try to get back to you on that tomorrow.

Banjo, I applaud your attitude to life and people.
BUT!
I must be a very sensitive and aware person, than most.
I don't look at the cover.
I look beyond, and what I find, more often than not, is NOT what we are told.
I am not gullible or easily swayed by "snake oil salesmen", such as ALL those who try to attain positions of high office.
And in life, one of those positions is to be the head of a country.
Your attitude is a very "warm, cozy and comfortable" one, but let me make you aware of one very important fact, and that is, we are being taken advantage of at every turn and opportunity, and across everything we touch or come into contact with.
Especially, and mainly, where we are paying money.
Another way of looking at it is, that because of "nice" people like yourself, the rest of us are subjected to abuse and theft on a daily basis, because you obviously have very Christian and high moral standard.
So you can see how it is absolutely impossible for "The meek to inherit the earth"!
It is the filth, the scum, the vial and generally garbage that will inherit the earth, and now, us with it.
I draw everyone's attention to this old scam that has been slowly gaining momentum, and will enslave us all if we don't attack it with force, especially those promoting it;
THE GREAT RESET!
Now I caution everyone to not just gloss over this, because this is worse than all the terrorist attacks and wars in recent history, and is perpetrated and promoted by the same people responsible for all previous mass losses of life globally.
You will be well advised to take heed on this and look into it yourselves, and when you do, just remember the underground of previous wars, because that's what it will come to, unless people actually reject the RESET at the outset.

Until Mitt Romney crossed the floor in a vote to impeach during the last hearings no senator had gone against party lines to do so before.

This time there were 10.

Extraordinary, and a serious indictment against Trump to anyone with half a brain.

SR,

There were 7, not 10.

Trump was acquitted.
