Every time I hear the phase “Peaceful transfer if power” , I am reminded of Obama sitting at the Trump’s inauguration, looking smug, but knowing he was already spying on Trump before and after the election.

It takes a special kind of jackass to call for an investigation AFTER he already voted to convict the person who was accused as the ringleader of the alleged crime.

Great article here:

Trump Impeached For Challenging Civil Religion—Elections Fair (And Dems Always Win)

Although Americans aren’t generally aware of it, international analyses have concluded that America is the one of the least democratic countries in the “democratic” category of nations. It is only just about possible to call it democratic at all. According to the Electoral Integrity Project’s analysis, the US came near the bottom of this second highest group for honest elections, tying with Mexico.

This because a number of factors frowned on by international observers that open it up to electoral fraud. These include: no voter ID, mail-in ballots, duplicate registration, election observers being prevented from observing, unreliable voting machines, the media calling results while some areas are still voting and so literally influencing the election, and voter fraud not being prosecuted often enough.

But of course voter fraud can’t be prosecuted. To admit that it happens would be to admit that a component of the American Civil Religion is nonsense [Electoral Integrity Worldwide by Pippa Norris and Max Gromping, May 2019].

This is why Trump was on trial. He has committed heresy against the Civil Religion. Worse than that, this heresy has resulted in firing up a mob of working-class people in a country where another myth is that there is no class system and that everybody can attain the American Dream if they’d just work hard enough.

Trump was on trial for confronting the indoctrinated with the empirical truth, that American democracy is a sham, and thus causing America’s nobility to lose control of its serfs—and even, if only briefly, be in fear of them.

Yes. Let’s have it. Let’s publicly release the call that implicates Mitch calling for a “mess” in the capitol. Let’s call Trump supporters who were led freely into the capitol by police. Let’s show tape of trump supporters asking tor help from the police only to be ignored. Let’s put the Antifa leader under oath and ask him who put him up to it.

It wasn’t even a riot, I saw riots all summer on TV, I know what they look like, burning and looting did not occur.

Trump really knows how to expose these Rats, doesn’t he.

God has been answering our prayers that evil in this country be exposed on both sides of the aisle.!

yep!!!....It’ll NEVER happen simply because of this fact...Pelosi refused troop reinforcement and Bowser also refused.....they were happy to see the chaos because they had their “blame it on Trump” script at the ready.....has ANYONE asked Cassidy to investigate why the Democrats even BROUGHT an impeachment charge without going their due diligence in the FIRST PLACE?????

"I listened very carefully to all the arguments. But if you describe insurrection as I did, as an attempt to prevent the peaceful transfer of power, we can see the president for two months after the election, promoting that the election was stolen," Cassidy said.

In other words, I need to leave room for him being too stupid to understand the concepts he was voting on.

“”Why was there not more law enforcement, National Guard already mobilized, what was known who knew it, when they do it all that, because that builds the basis so this never happens again in the future,” Cassidy said.””

Sure - I’m going to trust him - that he actually spent hours going over INFORMATION - NOT EVIDENCE - and can’t even form a coherent sentence....

Have to say I didn’t aggravate myself by watching any of the proceedings in the Senate but did the defense bring up that the crowd had already descended on the Capitol BEFORE the president’s rally was over and anyone at the rally had to walk to the Capitol which would have taken an hour with the gangs already over the barricades and well on their way intruding into the building? I can’t remember WHO made that point earlier in the week but it had to be Tucker or Hannity...Made a lot of sense to me.

I think that’s one sentence - agree a rambling on..

Until one of these schmucks (not the word I wanted to type) genuinely suffers some consequence from his actions (also not what I wanted to type) nothing will change. It seems to work, so they will take it farther. They’ve cemented election fraud. From now on they will be telling us what to do using police power to enforce their whims. Time to wake up.

""I think there should be a complete investigation about what happened on Jan. 6. "

Isn't this something one does before starting a peachmint?

These politicians are so backward.

America would be better served if there were a forensic investigation of Cassidy’s finances.

insurrection... an attempt to prevent the peaceful transfer of power

How about looking into Hillary Clinton and her "Resist" mob for their FOUR long years of exactly this.

I noticed the typo ten seconds after I posted but there were so many people commenting that the apology didn’t get on until 10 posts later.
