I refuse to hear anything negative about Trump. He is the real Superman, who fights for truth. justice and the American way. I love the man so much that no amount of fake news can ever turn me against him
He's your new God, I take it? After all, if he can't do no wrong...

Our opinions are only opinions, but a U.S. Attorney can charge those breaking the law.

Here's the law, as conveyed via the Heritage Foundation (a very conservative group that's been around a long time) --

"The Federal Anti-Riot Act (18 U.S.C § 2101) allows the federal government to go after anyone who “travels in interstate or foreign commerce” or who uses “any facility of interstate or foreign commerce, including, but not limited to, the mail, telegraph, telephone, radio or television” [e.g. twitter, facebook, texting, etc.] to “incite a riot; or to organize, promote, encourage, participate in or carry on a riot; or to commit any act of violence in furtherance of a riot.”
This Federal Law Can Be Used to Charge Violent Rioters

Of course, it's not only individuals that do the destructive or violent actions that are illegal (it's illegal to assault officers, other people, destroy federal property like windows, etc.), but also anyone that incites the illegal actions (the vandalism, assaults, etc.).

If charges are brought, then it's the normal processes of the accused possibly working out a plea deal, or being tried in a trial even, or at times receiving a pardon for their crime.

I'd strongly recommend only the leaders that incited or committed the clearly criminal actions be charged, and not the relatively naive and mostly innocent (by virtue of lacking understanding) followers who just went along, believing (mistakenly) that they were doing reasonable or just actions of mere protest. I'd not wish to see anyone charged merely for following others into the Capitol, but anyone committing any assault or vandalism charged, and also anyone clearly inciting the criminal actions. An U.S. Attorney could examine evidence to reasonably decide whether to bring charges against President Trump, for instance, or any other individual.

I think that Rudy's language might well place him in legal peril. As for the President, I do not expect that he will be held accountable for yesterday's events. However, the odds may well have increased that he could face trouble for his call to the GA Secretary of State and the tax investigation by NY State.

Get out of here with your hypocrisy. People on the left aren't cheering on a wanna dictator and his terrorists storming the Capitol. Pearl clutching with a steadfast refusal to believe your side could ever wrong. You're doing the exact sort of that helps enable these acts of right-wing terrorism. You care so little for those that are politically opposite from you that you'll ignore and deflect. You don't care if right-wingers hurt people, you don't care if they kill people.

And also, if you somehow couldn't tell, it was sarcasm that you had good eyesight. Faces aren't visible in that picture. There literally are not enough pixels to see them. But you'll parade around claiming you can tell those are the same people as in the BLM protests because you can't defend this without deflection. You have no legs to stand on, and you know it.

I hope you can explain to your decedents one day why you supported the group that tried to take over the Capitol.
You will look back at Trumps America and wish you could go back to the good old days, after Biden and Harris install China's Zi Zi Ping as your new leader. Trust me, he has no tolerance for the BLM or anyone with purple hair.
I bet you don't even know that the CCP murdered 42 million of their citizens because they were unemployed and deemed to be "useless eaters" Good luck with your upcoming brutal dictatorship.

Trump has never condoned or encouraged any unlawful action.

My genuine hope is that we never have a GOP president for the rest of your life.

So you will continue to keep your head up your you know what and not actually use your eyes, ears, and brain to realize the man you glorify is a con man? That's pathetic!

It doesn't matter how fruitless it is. Letting them sit here and continue to spout their nonsense is how we ended up with terrorists storming the Capitol. Everytime we see it, we must call it out.

I agree. I have no delusions about changing the minds of any of the Trump supporters who continue to parrot false information, but we need to call out the lies forcefully at every turn.

Except for asking political leaders of other countries to interfere in our elections and demanding that state election officials cheat for him.

...he should have known that they're only allowed to cheat against him.

You will get the leader you deserve, but they won't be as you imagined they'd be.
My hope is that Australia also gets non-Conservative leadership for the rest of your life too.

So do liberals. Your point?
My understanding is, the liberals believe the government should give them everything for nothing while they sit on their big back sides. While the conservatives believe we should get off our big back sides and make millions of $$$$$ and have everything we want that way.
The problem with the liberal view, is they forget actual history where liberal governments have to exterminate millions of their useless eaters when the money steal from those conservatives who actually work runs out.

We haven't been indoctrinated and raised on Hollywood propaganda, so we can still think for ourselves down here.

Your view of liberals and history is warped beyond recognition.

I'd spend the time to inform you, but you don't seem remotely interested in learning.

You need to stop with the blanket statements. While I am more middle of the road politically, I do lean liberal. I work a full-time job. My girlfriend is a solid liberal and she just reached year 16 with the state as an employee. Her ex-husband is a liberal and he could have gone on disability for his back issues but chose not to as he wanted to keep working.

So you assumed that is what liberals believe and you know what they say about assumptions?

Yes I heard the 30 seconds of selected words the fake news media pout together for the puppet show they call news. I don't believe any sane person takes any notice of fake news anymore.

What's with the impeachment thing? Trump was found innocent of all charges. His enemies always end up with egg on their faces but some still swallow fake news.
I refuse to hear anything negative about Trump. He is the real Superman, who fights for truth. justice and the American way. I love the man so much that no amount of fake news can ever turn me against him
Dan it's time to grow up and stop the harm you and your ilk are doing to your nation.
