    Did you mean ‘egging them on’? Surely you don’t mean Trump is ‘edging’ his loyalists but, you know, maybe this is really happening. It would explain a helluva lot. :D

    Yes, but I think edging is appropriate. :D This wasn't a single day thing. It has been in the making since 2017 with a few close calls before 1/6/21.

    I figured that might be the case. Very true and very hilarious. Well done, sir. I’m still laughing.

    No.

    Trump's legal troubles (including Civil) are now not reliant on politics only. Before, Trump had the protection of the DOJ memo that took the stance that presidents cannot be prosecuted, and in that withholding of that stance IN COURT over and over again over the past 4 years that a president can be prosecuted after leaving office. Trump's legal issues while in office that looked political only helped him because it was Impeachment that was the one remedy for holding him accountable.

    So yeah if Swalwell brought this case, and Trump had Bill Barr immunity, and impeachment was the only remedy, sure... this would look political and give Republicans talking points so they wouldn't support impeachment.

    Swalwell's case might help with FoxNews coverage, but if that case has the parameters to cause Trump legal damage, then of course it's not good for Trump. Only positive will be that maybe they will be able to use it for grassroots fundraising... but Trump's donors are going to get worked up and give him their hard earned money regardless.

    As well they should. What a tone deaf, bullshit opening line from the blowhards at the PowerLine Blog. Every American should be on board with properly dealing with the attempted insurrection at the Capitol. They make an attack on the seat of our government out to be a protest to unseat Jack Easterby. What happened on Jan 6th was not a mini-riot.

    Just a reminder BLM and Antifa push violence until it results in death and buildings being burned down on a regular basis. Trump supporters got let into a building once. Hard time buying these are terrorists when the far left is out there running wild.

    Your avatar says all we need to know about you... scared of the news programing. I don't know how people who even wear a mask with their avatar can get out of bed. And yes they intentionally didn't make it secure and even let them through barricades.

    Not sure at all what your mask comment means. Are you an anti-masker (Maskhole) ?

    I've been "out of bed" plenty during the pandemic. Hawaii, Minnesota a handful of times, about to make my third trip to Disney, Texas twice, going to NYC in June as long as travel restrictions loosen a bit, Africa in October.

    And I always wear my mask as necessary.

    How can people who fear a non-existent threat like "Antifa" or confuse being criticized for being "canceled" get out of bed?

    Characterizing the attempted coup by Trump worshiping terrorists as being "let into a building" is just an idea.

    Too bad ignorance isn't painful.

    Can't wait to see how many Traitors go to prison for being "let in"

    U.S. Arrests 2 Men, Saying They Sprayed Sicknick And Others With Chemical At Capitol
    https://www.npr.org/2021/03/15/9774...ed-sicknick-and-others-with-chemical-at-capit

    Two men have been arrested for allegedly spraying a chemical on Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick and two other law enforcement officers, during the Jan. 6 storming of the U.S. Capitol. Sicknick died one day later; officials have recently said they're still determining what factors might have led to his death.

    The two men are Julian Elie Khater, 32, of State College, Penn., and George Pierre Tanios, 39, of Morgantown, W. Va. They were arrested Sunday, charged with "conspiring to injure officers and assaulting federal officers" and other crimes, the Justice Department says.
