  1. Impeached now under article 3 of 14th amendment , by holding the Senate trial until after the 20th, a simple majority in the Senate will bar Trump from future federal office.

    1. That’s the only reason they’re doing it. They’re afraid of him. He was cleaning the swamp out. They don’t want to be next.

  2. Sever punishment for riots and violent speeches is necessary to make American and extremists to behave in civilized way and peaceful manner as per guidelines of redressal for private and public complaint.

    1. When you are in a physical altercation. You are in a different state of mind .you are actually fighting for your life the mind set that your in at that time is a very alone feeling .after the fight is over .it stays with you .no sleep you cant eat .but the bystanders in there mind set all belive they think they could have done a better job .I am convinced that the country has this mind set.the only way to stop this thought process is by singularity. Somebody needs to star letting there foot of the gas pedal

    2. John Sullivan and CNN’s Jade Sacker were arrested by FBI recently for their involvement in the Capital invasion. This has nothing to do with Trump supporters.

    3. Why would President Trump incite an insurrection if in the long run it would not benefit him and the Republican Party? That is phantom to understand. If the outcome of his “inflammatory” speech, which was not, was this one why would he risk such outcome? It does not make sense, he would not do such a thing. There are many progressives out there and Media hosts that are speaking words that seem more like “war declarations”, than words for unity and peace.

    1. I’m not from the US but I’ve studied the history of GOP a bit. The change from the beginning is nothing short of mind numbing.

    2. John Sullivan and CNN’s Jade Sacker were arrested recently for their involvement in the Capital invasion.

  3. All the enablers are terrorists, and should be arrested and charged. They can apologize from their prison cells.

    1. John Sullivan and CNN’s Jade Sacker were arrested by the FBI for their involvement in the Capital Invasion. Trump supporters not involved.

    2. and stuff their ” thoughts / prayers / condolences ”
      UP THEIR F—— A$$

  4. They are no longer enablers now they are Nazi sympathizers and Fascists. History doesnt repeat but it dose cast a shadow.

  5. There is no “turning the page” for this country UNTIL this Seditious President, ALL who aided and abetted him, and those who they incited into attacking a U.S. Federal Building are held legally accountable. It’s as simple and true as that.

    1. His silence right now, is his complicity. While some VERY stupid people are suggesting that 74 million people actually want this Confederate Insurrection. Recent polling shows that most trump voters were against the storming of the Capitol. Most Americans will choose America, when they’re forced to choose. The cult are dangerous and DELUSIONAL! Looking at YOU, Rick Santorum

  6. Just to be clear. Impeachment is the politicians’ resolution. Imprisonment is the People’s resolution. Full Stop.

  7. The President being the biggest national security threat is absolutely crazy. Totally brainwashed and mind controlled. A lot of them did not even know that they will be caught.

  8. Trump should pay for the DC destruction and all of the added security brought in, why should John Q. Public have to. Pay with those donated funds.

  9. Anyone spreading the big lie of an election steal is complicit. The Cruze’s and Hawley’s are just as guilty as Don the Con.

    1. Why would President Trump incite an insurrection if in the long run it would not benefit him and the Republican Party? That is phantom to understand. If the outcome of his “inflammatory” speech, which was not, was this one why would he risk such outcome? It does not make sense, he would not do such a thing. There are many progressives out there and Media hosts that are speaking words that seem more like “war declarations”, than words for unity and peace.
