Sad. If Trump’s behavior doesn’t merit conviction, it’s tough to imagine a president who will meet that bar, short of shooting someone on 5th Avenue. Even then the GOP would likely leave all the response to the Manhattan DA.
Ted Cruz accusing trump of inciting violence. I’m sure Republicans do not want this clip to get around so I guess you shouldn’t RT this.

Trump and his Slovene-born escort spent years calling for Obama’s birth certificate. I am calling for Melania’s legal immigration papers, and asking the “Office of Melania Trump”: How the hell did she get an Einstein visa despite her blatant lie under oath about college degrees?
Democrats should drag out this trial as long as possible.
The outcome is less relevant than how long Republicans can be kept in the spotlight as complicit in whitewashing the most impeachable conduct in US history.
Sen. Tammy Duckworth is urging President Biden to "help restore trust" in the United States Postal Services by replacing every member of the USPS Board of Governors and nominating new leadership.
After a long week, I think of this: MPD Officer Daniel Hodges, who was crushed in a door in the Capitol January 6th, recovering and telling reporters, "It was absolutely my pleasure to crush a white nationalist insurrection."
Let me get this right, Qevin McQarthy @GOPLeader knew Predator trump never had any intention of calling off his MAGA terrorists in Jan. 6th, he continued to lie, covered it up and flew to Mar-a-lago 3 weeks to have a meeting with him anyway. Yet he’s in Congress, not in prison.
The entire Senate stood to applaud Officer Goodman, who protected their lives & others, but almost all GOP Senators will refuse to convict Trump who created & incited the violent mob. The depth of hypocrisy in far too many of our politicians may very well be the nation's undoing.
Republican senators know full well that Trump spurned McCarthy and ignored Tuberville. He wanted violence. He wanted members killed. And if they still vote to acquit they are even more despicable.
Trump knew Pence’s life was in danger, and he not only did nothing, he continued to whip up his violent mob that chanted to hang him. That’s what four years of adoring loyalty earned him. That’s the sociopath Republicans want to, once again, green light.
Just a reminder that House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy repeatedly begged Trump during the Capitol attack to call off the rioters — because McCarthy realized that Trump incited the insurrection himself.
Interesting that Kevin McCarthy, or someone very close to him, is choosing right now to leak that he called Trump up and cursed him out during the insurrection. McCarthy sees how bad this is looking, and he’s trying to cover his ass. McCarthy is in way over his head.
