OK, so I just looked up the definition of insurrection,

it says its a violent uprising against an authority or government.

Basically, any previous protest that turned violent against the police can be classified as an insurrection.

So where is Trumps incitement to violence. The media and some members of congress would have you believe that Trump is going to nuke the place... :roll:

Most of these people were there to protest, peacefully. Simple as that.

So why should Trump be impeached?

he already said that he is leaving when Biden gets inaugurated.

The answer lies in the difference between two actions…

Group 1. Uprising, Insurrection, Revolt, Coup

Group 2. Demonstration, Rally, Riot, March

Once you’ve stormed to take over a government building, it falls under group 1.

When you are defiant in the streets it falls under group 2.

But I'm sure you knew that... you just want to play silly-buggers!

The definition is there, clear as day.

The BLM anti-facists did the same thing in a Seattle police precinct and the area they claimed as CHOP. They even declared independence.

Why wasnt Trump impeached for that?

This is getting very boring! :roll:

“uprising” doesn’t mean a riot or looting, but any action that can lead to a government TAKEOVER, such as occupying a government building, taking a civil servant hostage, etc.

...what is CHOP; and CHAZ (what became of it)?

Max, it seems to me that you've bought into a narrative yet it goes both ways. Do you think Trump, with all the advisors he has around him that they are all innocents; where do "Black Ops" come from if not the "Government"?

...is it to hard to believe, "a tough guy", "not a quitter", a showman, and it seems quite successful at it, would not leave gracefully, (looking for an encore)? Now it is; hard to believe that is: (looking more doomed).

Trump did not do this alone, let's say it was not the Republican Party, but, that does not exclude those inside it who want power, and fame.

Republican and/or Democrat, this corruption exists, (for "America"); going too far: (some part of "it" has been) exposed.

...ending systematic racism is a good idea. Accountability is not a bad idea either. Over the entire planet People and people agreed with their own *LM demonstrations for weeks; do you remember?

Max, please don't apologize for "Trumpists", those involved in this so-called "Movement", (which deny both such notions, e.g, among other things); what they did, wanting to be heard, wanting change, as a Vanguard. "Their" Political Representatives will find far fewer among their ranks, much sooner than they think; as such they will pay a heavy price, ultimately, for some of them, total obscurity. It will take years for others a living hell, what with due process, some will be examples of Justice seen, Criminally charged, and convicted. In any case, "the News" will turn our attention to other things; this drama is coming to its finale, with other issues now more pressing.

...a new "New Deal" may be in the offing; austerity will no longer be the buzzword, and "the rich" will pay more Taxes.

New York is a city that is very dear to my heart. There is no greater city than New York in the entire world. I was suppose to be there on the 4th of May 2020 for my check to line. My family were suppose to come by July and the kids were to start school there. We have family in New York as well. It’s the center of the universe.

What governor Cuomo and mayor De Blasio have done to the “city that never sleeps” is right up there with any totalitarian system one may point to in other parts of the world. Allowing so many New Yorkers to die of Covid was criminal beyond words, simply to make Trump look like he’s not addressing the so-called pandemic. The city is as dead as dead gets. All the stores are boarded up because of Antifa and BLM rioters who were given a free reign to destroy a beautiful city, encouraged by Democrat officials, again, simply to make Trump look like a loser. This is criminal. We’re looking at a left wing takeover that makes the once free and democratic super city of New York less democratic than Beijing. It resembles a Bolshevik state.

Nothing pains me more to see this wonderful city on its knees. There is no people more plucky and wonderful than New Yorkers. May New York find its Sinatra rhythm real soon.

New York was always the greatest symbol of humanity till those 2 Democrat criminals took office.

I agree with you Paphitis,

The dems are acting like the country is run along the lines of a one party system.

At least that, is the impression I got from them for these past 4 years.

Their supporters turned all their cities in to hellholes. Then sat by idly and negligent without doing anything. While the leftist media span lies, defending the lawlessness and tried to blame it on Trump to make him look bad.

It was a sorry state of affairs.

Yes a very sorry state of affairs Max.

Things took a death spiral when Trump won office in 2016. He wasn’t suppose to win. Clinton was meant to be the first female POTUS. They behaved like they had it in the bag.

The propaganda against Trump started from before he won office and continues till now. The enablers always backed the established Clintons. A known force. Trump was always the dark horse and underdog, but they forgot about the Elephant in the room. Deteriorating work conditions, employment opportunities in other states and the forgotten plebs who wanted to try something different by giving their vote to Trump who had the rhetoric and all the talk but also walked the walk when he won office. And to their despair, he delivered on promises and he never forgot his base. Everything was off the cuff and as a result, he set a new benchmark in honesty and trust between the people and the office of POTUS.

No way in the world Trump is responsible for COVID. To say he is means that we do not know how Federations work. I live in a Federation like the US. Every State is responsible for their COVID responses, hospitals, health care, and emergency response. These are not functions of the centralised Federal Government in the US or Sustralua with the exception of course of border control, visas, immigration, and defence. The US isn’t a Republic like Cyprus.

And for all these Democrats to get on their high horses after encourage wholesale violence and destruction of US cities after a few dingbats stormed Capitol Hill is an insult to our intelligence that the American people will not forget.

There is a very clear hypocrisy, and double standard here.

I believe it was a real coup d’état... but their leader Trump knew nothing military so he did the only style he knows... WWF!

You know the storming of the rink by outsiders with 2x4s, chairs... and all that. The ref gets knocked out, the opponent pinned and they flip the result...

I think the fool genuinely thought he could brawl his way into a 2nd term! :lol:
