That elephant is clearly a menace to the public. If you don’t fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore. When you catch somebody in a fraud, you have to use a very different set of rules. You’ll never take back our country with weakness.
Republicans* celebrate the insurrection. After all, they HATE democracy and if an election goes ‘wrong’ they will do anything to overturn it. Including beating a cop to death.
“If you don’t fight like hell, you won’t have a country!”
Cruz, Hawley and Rubio believe they are going to ride that rogue animal to the WH. One might succeed if we get complacent again and the Dems revert to shooting themselves in the foot.
Dear John seems to forget that it was Republican Secretaries of State who said at their elections were free, fair, and honest. McConnell actually said there was no fraud. MAGAnauts need to get over it, and realize they lost. Trump tried to stir an insurrection, so he can stay in office. He needs to be convicted. If he does not pay a price, then all this can happen again.
During the impeachment trial on Wednesday, Democrats demonstrated a powerful point: President Donald Trump knew Vice President Mike Pence was in danger during the January 6 assault on the Capitol and, rather than call off the murderous mob, Trump chose to attack Pence in a tweet and further incite the marauders against his own veep.
During his speech before the riot, Trump let it be known that he was counting on Pence to stop the electoral vote count scheduled for that day.
But Pence released a statement that he would not do so, and the rioters at the Capitol cast Pence as an enemy.
Pence and his family were rushed to a hiding place, as rioters inside the building searched for him. “Hang Pence,” some yelled.
In his presentation, Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-Texas), one of the House managers prosecuting the impeachment case, outlined a damning chronology.
He noted the insurrectionists had turned on Pence by 2:15 p.m. that day and that their attempt to find Pence in the Capitol was being reported on television—which Trump was undoubtedly watching.
But instead of urging his supporters to end the assault and protecting his vice president, Trump at 2:24 p.m. tweeted an attack on Pence.
“Mike Pence didn’t have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our Country and our Constitution.”
While his veep was fearing for his life, Trump put him in even greater jeopardy.
The message was received. Castro showed a video of one rioter reading Trump’s tweet to the crowd using a bullhorn.

Trump supporters, whether elected officials or constituents, simply lack standards necessary for responsible living.
