Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-NY), the House's lead impeachment manager, on Sunday said it was important to pursue impeaching President Donald Trump, even if the trial takes place after he leaves office, because the president was responsible for "the most serious presidential crime in the history of the United States of America." He was referring to the riots that took place at the United States Capitol on Jan. 6, where Congress gathered to certify the results of the 2020 presidential election.

Just ignore them. Don’t go on TV and bring attention to yourself, but ignore them.

Citizen nullification done in plain site, but not in front of camera which paint a target on your back.

The most serious crime in Presidential history was shipping off billions in cash to the enemy in Teheran. Nobody on the left gives a damn about that, of course, because to them, the enemy of America is their friend.

Seriously. What did he say. 1st amendment baby. Suck it. He also said peacefully. Never said anything about violence. If they actually convict this man it will be the biggest bs move made in history. And they will bend it in the history books. Then I think the democrats leave things alone. If they go for the guns they will push to far. Heck if the convict him a may spark something they don’t want. At some point they will go to far. Figuring after this they will either plan more attacks lead by antifa or try to back off. Here is what they don’t realize... this antifa movement is not going to quit. They don’t want biden either. They have planned and gotten in bed with these people. They have the proof they were hired by the democrats and will use that against them. Dine them out in a second, and when CNN don’t report it and media starts to censor antifa it will make things worse.

Was just driving on the freeway in my city and saw a bulletin board sign that said if you have any information about the “capital violence “ to call this number.

Never let a “crisis” go through waste.

Yes. A Biden inauguration nullifies all unconstitutional mask mandates.

No, the most serious crime in US history is the ordering of the drone strike killing of 2 US citizens. Same pResident, though.

Per wiki, On December 31, 2020, Raskin's office announced that his son Thomas (Tommy), a graduate of Amherst College and a second-year student at Harvard Law School, died at the age of 25. On January 4, 2021, Raskin and his wife posted a tribute online which stated that Thomas had died by suicide after a prolonged battle with depression. Thomas was buried on January 5, 2021, and the following day the Congressman found himself locked in his office with his daughter and son-in-law, fending off rioters. Hours later he began drafting an article of impeachment against President Donald Trump, and six days later House Speaker Nancy Pelosi named Raskin the lead manager of Trump's second impeachment.

It seems to me that Rep Thomas has some heavy personal issues, and I'm not making light of it. As such, the man needs to take a leave of absence to sort this out.

If ANYONE lost a child through suicide and went to work seven days after the suicide and one day after burial, I'd seriously question their ability to think clearly and/or not "act out" via work matters.

Let’s see:

Trump says, “I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard”.

Plus

New York Times reports this as, “TRUMP INCITES MOB”.

Congresscritter says it’s the worst political crime in American history.

Equals

Yes, we are in serious trouble.

Running guns to Mexican cartels with the intent of undermining 2A in this country.

Running guns to jihadists in Syria.

Spying on Americans including a Presidential candidate and then President.

I can think of dozens of examples that are worse and all committed by the Kenyanesian Usurper, who should never have occupied the office.
