Impeach!

Damn right I'm serious. Please provide evidence where he suggested people invade the Capitol and attack their political opponents (Maxine Waters did that) and LEOs. Specific quotations, please.
-
You support impeachment. OK, it's a political process. I suppose I can understand that on the basis of your hatred for this (admittedly) reprehensible man. At what cost, however? When the GOP controls the House, and they will, sooner or later, do you think they will not do exactly the same thing? I don't.
-
The historical record will show that he was impeached twice, setting up a precedent that is to be followed in the future: "We hate this guy, so let's throw him out."
3a) "if another sitting president tries to do this." What, specifically, are you talking about? See point #1.
Again, let me reiterate. I found President Trump to be a horrible person. I disagreed with much of his behavior. I would not enjoy his company in my home. Does he lie? Yeah, probably. Does he cheat? Yeah, probably that too. Those are not, IMO, "high crimes and misdemeanors."
But...
Unless you can point to specific things he's done you have little to hang your hat on other than your distaste for the man. If you can't, it's TDS.

If you are 100% sure there was election stealing and you’ve exhausted every legal avenue, and you’re being stonewalled- an armed insurrection makes sense. What else do you do at that point?
The POTUS - who has the ability to get the best information says the election was 100% stolen.
There’s essentially no more representation at that point.
-
Also - “let’s have trial by combat” is not a great phrase to utter.
Yes, Giuliani said it. But if Himmler suggested something about killing Jews while Hitler is on the same stage - there’s not much distinction.
(Sorry for using a Nazi analogy, I don’t mean to say Trump and his administration are Nazis)

You can be prosecuted/impeached because of something that someone you associate with said?
Is that your point?

The POTUS - who has the ability to get the best information says the election was 100% stolen.Strawman. I didn't bring up his complaints about a stolen election. You did.
What incitement to riot did he utter? I'm being very, very specific here. He's said a lot of bad things, a lot of inaccurate things, but unless you can show that he actually incited a riot, or a crime, then there's nothing.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

George, do you believe impeachment shouldn't happen at all? That no one should even investigate the allegations? I read the Althouse stuff, btw.

“Let’s have trial by content” from a guy sharing his stage.
Also - if you believe his chain of logic, I’m saying I’d personally believe an armed insurrection is warranted. FWIW. You’re right that wasn’t your direct question, but I’m saying it’s a reasonable reaction to the situation the President was painting. (That likely wouldn’t hold up as criminal responsibility- but we can make our political judgements about it.)

See my comment about guilt by association.

I think it's a waste of time and money for an issue that is moot. Investigate away. Have at it. What do you think the result will be? What do you think it will accomplish other than political points?

Bullshit.

Is that your point?Let’s take this example to its extreme. If Guiliani says “you go mess up that Capitol. Go after senators. Etc. etc.”
And Trump goes on stage right after and says nothing about it. No culpability?
Also - the line for acceptable conduct by a President should not be criminality. So prosecution is different than impeachment. Impeachment is a lot fuzzier.

Lad, if that would have been an armed insurrection, you'd have dead bodies littering the grounds of the Capitol.
Those protesters weren't armed and you know it.

We can’t be doing this every 4 years.
You can count on this happening, regardless of which tribe is in power. The precedent is set.

Seems like we all should be saying “enjoy” to those that put him in office.
At any rate the only chance this doesn’t become the new normal is if we impose actual costs.

Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.

Sorry this isn’t about chains of partisan grievances. We will always have those. It’s the assault on democracy itself that we must punish.
And we are.
Enjoy.
Let's hope it's not your son we have to pull out if a pool of blood in a muddy field.
That's the end result of the road you seem so hell-bent on traveling.
