Destino Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 1 hour ago, EmirOfShmo said: Conviction was never going to happen. Never. Same as Orangeasshole I, Orangeasshole II was never going to get a conviction.  It's time to turn this over to Merrick Garland. Let him get confirmed & then unleash the hounds. Let the city of DC find anything the Orange Mangina & his offspring did to charge them for doing. Audit their hotels (side note: I thought booking every room in every hotel worldwide that allowed a 24 hr. cancellation might be a thing for those interwebs peeps to do on a weekly basis, but I digress). Get the criminal investigations going & break them financially.  I'm not pissed at all. This is 2022 billboard **** that Garland will uncover. Sweep the leg... Biden's administration isn’t going to go after Trump.  He was less interested in investigating Trump then congressional democrats, and those cowards couldn’t even muster the courage to call witnesses.  Twice.  They’re still the same punchless cowards that let Mitch steal a supreme court seat.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgold Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Yeah, glad to hear Georgia is. I wouldn't be surprised if the governor and secretary of state went all in against Trump. They should. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They approved the attempted lynching of Pence and Pelosi.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Califan007 The Constipated Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Â Did McConnell say the criminal courts can still take action against Trump and that he "has not gotten away with anything...yet. Not yet."? If so, what am I missing? That sounds like something a Democratic congressman would say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wants to be able to say, "Trump is guilty as hell" while voting to acquit to appeal to the Trump base. HIs stance is that of the spineless.

Especially when doing so by pointing out the criminal courts is still an option so Trump hasn't gotten away with anything "yet". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the acquittal vote is the cookie for the base and the "guilty as hell" is supposed to mollify everyone else. Ultimately, the only thing that matters is his vote. His words are empty, hollow, and meaningless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoCalMike Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Easiest & shortest argument I heard made recently was that if the GOP didn't think Trump's words incited the riot, why did McCarthy phone Trump directly to call off the rioters, as if his mindset the entire time was these people will only listen to.........the words of Trump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've already seen numerous times how Trump supporters will start attacking "RINOs" over their words alone. Â If this was a strategy it was a ****ty one lol...it won't appeal to anyone.

Simmsy Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 I still think not calling witnesses is a cop out, saying that you think you've done enough, well...isn't enough. The fact that we all knew that conviction was never going to happen and the dems didn't do everything to get that conviction shows that they didn't give it their all. The only reason I can now say that not calling witnesses is a good idea, is because there is no reason to put these people in danger. I think having capitol police officers get in front of the Senate and give their testimony would've been extremely powerful. I can't imagine the cross examination by the defense being too harsh or critical of a police officer scared for his life. However, no need to put a target on their backs, they've been through enough.  I see some of you want to pass the baton to Garland, seems like we've been passing the baton a lot these past four years. Sorry, I'm not so optimistic that he's going to be anymore effective than anyone else. I'll believe it when I see it, but he has my support.

Burgold Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 I get that point of view and I share your pessimism. Part of wonders if justice comes sideways. Remember, mobster Al Capone finally got imprisoned for tax evasion. Maybe it’ll happen twice. We know New York is looking into that along with other states. Georgia has also opened an investigation that seems pretty open and shut.  still, it’s maddening that Trump is acquitted when everyone especially his jury knew he was guilty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

88Comrade2000 Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 I fully expect impeachment to be the new norm whenever the house and presidency are if different parties.
