    “Biden staged an insurrection by taking away Texas’ power to police their own border!”

    FFS, did you think this thing had to be logical? Look at how, having their man lose twice, the GOP is trying to impeach Biden. For nothing. They got nothing. Yet they’re trying.

    Let me argue the conservative side a moment. And again, it doesn’t have to be logical.

    “If Trump’s clearly guilty of insurrection, why has no court found him guilty in 3 years since 01/06? All I’m seeing is 3 years of wasted time trying to prosecute an innocent man, a political target. Show me where exactly he called for insurrection.”

    I could go on all night, too exhausting thinking that way.

    Hang Trump out to dry, let the chips fall where they may, but this is Pandora’s Box. Either way it rolls out, America will never be the same.

    Y’all may find this PBS documentary interesting (below). Trump is in more trouble than you may think.

    Commoners like us may find it obvious that Trump’s guilty as sin, but here they lay out how the January 6th Commission methodically nailed his ass to the wall. Jack Smith’s prosecution relies on the evidence brought out. The findings here are the blueprint for his case. I didn’t intend to watch it all at once, got sucked in for the duration.

    Truly outstanding reporting. They presented the case honestly and without bias. Even though experienced lawyers like Ken White presented legitimate questions/hesitations, in the end those same experts basically said Trump is screwed.

      I’m not really sure what point you’re making, but really do appreciate the documentary shared.

      I look at this in the same way that I deal with dementia patients. Oh wow, that’s very interesting, hey I think “price is right” is on TV, let’s get you to the couch, and I’ll go get your lunch.

      Why are we letting illogical opinion carry the same weight as tenured legal expertise and documented objective evidence?
