Some people ask: Why would you impeach and convict a president who has only a few days left in office? The answer: Precedent. It must be made clear that no president, now or in the future, can lead an insurrection against the U.S. government.
The man directly responsible for the chaos of today is Donald Trump, who has made it clear that he will do anything to remain in power – including insurrection and inciting violence. Trump will go down in history as the worst and most dangerous president in history.
Every one of these terrorists must be rounded up, arrested and tried. No exceptions. No mercy. If these actions don’t have consequences, we will be living with this terrorism for years, decades.
If you read one thing today, make it this.
Trump just Pardoned this guy.
He was not a US Soldier, he was a mercenary.
He fired unprovoked and killed 14 people, including 9 and 11 year old.
Two separate juries convicted him. https://t.co/1sjW3VW7d0
The defeat by Joe Biden of Trump has triggered a huge wave of relief among the United States' European allies.
Authoritarian despot Trump is regarded as the most corrupt, unqualified US president in history — and an enemy to democracy around the world.

The American people can't afford to wait any longer.
Every working class American needs $2,000 a month.
Every unemployed American needs $600 a week.
Every American needs healthcare as a human right.
No one in America should go hungry or homeless.
The do-nothing Senate must act.
CLAIM: “Pennsylvania and Michigan didn’t allow our poll watchers and/or vote observers to watch or observe.”
Republicans were in the room. https://t.co/r8waPm5EiD
@csheehan0305 @ThePersian@eugenegu@realDonaldTrump@seanhannity@FoxNews And there is the big issue! People like you who think that Americans are better or more worthy than others. We all live on the same planet. We are all connected. I bet you’d love your kids being taken from you and locked up in a cage. It’s not all about you.
Undermining the legitimacy of an election—what Trump is doing now, and in fact has done for months—is how demagogues destroy faith in democracy and move us toward authoritarianism.
Let's be clear. This election won't be over when Trump says it's over. It will be over after every vote is counted. That includes mail-in ballots postmarked on Election Day, as well as military ballots. This is a democracy. Whether Trump likes it or not, we count every vote.
Lies, lies and more lies. More COVID-19 cases reported yesterday than ever, and Trump says we are "rounding the corner." Doctors risk their lives to treat us, and Trump says they are profiteering from COVID deaths. We must end the pathological lying. Vote him out!
