House votes to formally open an impeachment inquiry into Joe Biden

[RestoreTheJoy]

We must stop the steal

There was no steal and Trump knew it because his staff told him.

So...protest. Not riot.

 

[RestoreTheJoy]

I look forward to the trial of Donald J Trump where evidence and sworn witnesses will challenge narratives such as this....

So do I, if it happens. A lot of it is "trumped up" and repetitive charges, if you read the list. A charge for an email. A charge for a phone call. Etc.

The narrative presented by Nancy Pelosi, when she announced PRIOR to the "fact-finding" commission, in which she chose all participants, is not what we saw on TV. I've got no dog in this fight, as I am an independent. But I do have a stake in one standard of justice, as do we all in the states.

That's a fair point...Chuck Schumer's used it in both the topics of police reform and abortion

WATCH: Trump defense uses video of Democrats’ rhetoric in impeachment trial

Once the video finished, lawyer David Schoen pointed at both the senators and the impeachment managers and told them to “stop the hypocrisy.”

While I feel that the context was different, semantically speaking, it's a fair criticism.

Schumer literally screamed threats at the Supreme Court justices. Nothing happened at all. This two standards stuff must stop.

Over 1,200 of the insurgents have already been tried or pleaded guilty and have been sentenced. And the law isn't yet done by a long shot. They keep rounding up more of them. And no, they weren't all arrested. Yet. They just caught another pack of them in Florida recently.

Looks like a lot more than "some."
Neo-Nazis in the Trump mob celebrate the breaching of the Capitol:

Yes, walking around. Some leaving...note how they are walking away (first photo).
Second one - no idea of what he is celebrating or who he represents. The rainbow colors give us a clue, but that's it. Got a legitimate source for these photos?

You did not answer the question regarding your code language...by the way. Say what you mean, because that doesn't mean anything.

A person can commit several similar crimes and if they do they should be charged for each and every crime.

Otherwise if you are going mug one person then you might as well mug 10 people, or perhaps 50 people. If you are only going to be charged for one crime, then it gives you free license to do many similar crimes?

But of course a sensible justice system will charge people for every crime.

I'm exceedingly familiar with how the law works in this area. This was excessive charging, because of the determination to get something. Anything.

Yeah, punish him for his son's sins. Republicans are so corrupt and power-hungry that they will do anything to get their God (Donald Trump) in office. You all should be worshiping the one and only true God, not an orange lunatic

This nonsensical disparaging spew of ad hominems is unhelpful and not political discussion.

If you think Democrats do not abuse their power wherever possible, you aren't paying attention.

That seems to be all they have. Apparently, the House Republicans wanted Hunter to testify in secret, while he wanted the testimony to be public. And it's clear why. The last time they did that, their story fell apart as their "star witness" testified that he never saw the Bidens even discuss anything of substance.

After that fiasco, it's not surprising that they want the hearing closed so that they can cover it up, if another such embarrassment develops.

"Well, the president isn't a crook, but we think his son might be. That's all we need! Impeach him!"

Unfortunately, that's Trump's republican party.

You were told what that is. That green flag is from a neo-nazi movement (groypers/kekistan). The location is the US Capitol. There is no other time it could have been, but you could try a reverse image search if you don't trust the sourcing.

Most politicans abuse their power but why put a man on trial for his son's crimes? Especially if that son has not yet been found gulty of a crime

"Well, the president isn't a crook, but we think his son might be. That's all we need! Impeach him!"

That's exactly what I disagree with. If Biden's guilty of something take him to court but you can't take a father to court for his son's crimes. In fact, I don't think Biden's son has been found guilty of a crime (yet). However, these Trump worshipers, don't even seem to care one bit that he made a couple of billions and literally didn't pay a dime in taxes

It was a riot. Did you not see the film?

It was wild.

 

[Hans Blaster]

It was wild.

As promised.

Lots of people said during the last administration that democrats were setting a precedence for frivolous investigations and impeachment for future administrations. Looks like they were right.

Which impeachments or investigations were frivolous?

 

[The Barbarian]

Apparently, for the far right, breaking into a federal building, assaulting police, and looting offices would not amount to a riot.

It's what they have. They've been given orders, and they are doing the best they can with what they have.

Even though it's right-wing, it's not right IMO. I think it's a way to put him on the chopping block because of all the crimes that:"The Don" is going to court over. I dunno, I'm not an expert on politics but I think I have a pretty good grasp on right and wrong.
