| Its not just the Right. The Left-Wingers just spent 4 years believing the disproven Russian Collusion Hoax that is still believed to this day. "Disproven" how? There's actually plenty of evidence of ties between the 2016 Trump campaign and Russia. See, for example: - Senate Report: Former... |

| I will use this thread to post news and other info I come across about the Capitol rioters, their plans, their motives, etc. I would prefer that this thread focus on facts and evidence rather than on speculation or debates. The following page contains a video of interviews of rioters on the day of t... |

The reason is obvious. Trump didn't win in Co... |

| ASS-P had a long list of illnesses. The homelessness/on a computer didn't make sense to me. I wondered if others questioned his story about being homeless and yet being able to maintain an online presence. No, never questioned it. My guess would be that he used his phone. These days almost everyone... |

| According to the US constitution it's where the President commits “high Crime or Misdemeanor,” and the House votes to impeach following which the Senate conducts a trial. Trump managed to wiggle out of criminal charges in the first impeachment because he used his presidential powers to interfere wi... |

| And yet for some reason the Capitol rioters didn’t set off any bombs or fire any weapons, even after one of their own (unarmed) had been shot and killed by a policeman. We were lucky. As far as I can tell from the news stories I've read, their plan was to get violent only after invading the House a... |

| As I see it, the point of impeaching Trump NOW is simply to remove him from the Presidency ASAP, to limit the amount of damage he can do on his way out. See the following about his niece Mary Trump's assessments of him. Note her correct predictions of his behavior in November: - Mary Trump warns of ... |

| A big problem here has been the antipathy between Cuomo and DeBlasio, for which I'm inclined to blame both of them. Sometimes I get the feeling that Cuomo has been countermanding DeBlasio for no good reason but just to be contrary. Cuomo grew up in Queens but sometimes acts like he just doesn't unde... |
