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.
Also charged in connection with the rioting at the Capitol: A state lawmaker from West Virginia, Republican Del. Derrick Evans, who had recorded and then deleted a video of himself joining the throng. A petition was started for him to step down. https://t.co/fk109vPvnF
@matthaig1 i lost my love of reading after a traumatic brain injury in 2013 made it really hard to concentrate/comprehend. I regained those abilities but never regained my love until I read reasons to stay alive a few weeks ago. Your love of literature is contagious & inspiring
The way free speech works in a free country is that a publisher like @simonschuster gets to decide for itself who and what it wants to publish —and who and what it doesn't want to publish.
If it doesn't want to publish lies from a scumbag, for example, that's its prerogative.
Hi. First Amendment lawyer here. A private company deciding not to publish your words can *never* be a violation of the First Amendment and any senator trying to suggest otherwise is counting on you being stupid enough to believe basic consequences are unconstitutional.
The amazing thing about "it might have been antifa" is that Trump literally summoned these people to DC, spoke at their event, offered to walk them over to the Capitol and then praised them afterward.
President Trump dismissed outrage over police killings, saying "more white people" are killed by police than Black people.
Data show African Americans, who make up a smaller portion of the population, are killed at a rate more than twice that of whites.

President Trump and some of his supporters are claiming authorities did not use tear gas against people in a crackdown outside the White House this week. An @APFactCheck finds evidence that they did. https://t.co/tu7oopN80u
Since Trump decided to cause absolute chaos yesterday with those peaceful protestors so he could get pictures and video for his propaganda team, I figured I'd add a few more clips from the event...you know...just to see if they'd want to use this version instead.
