Senate trial could happen after Jan 20?

@horace said in Senate trial could happen after Jan 20?:
Trump and his supporters lost a great deal in the violent reactions to his loss of a very small subset of his supporters. Even you have acknowledged that. Now you want to establish it as a precedent going forward. I'm not seeing that as reasonable.
The attempts to overturn the democratic election and the peaceful transition of power were more than just those in the Capitol, it was Trump for months spewing lies about a stolen election and pumping up his crowd to take back the power.

But it never had a single chance of working. I mean an entire neighborhood was taken over by CHAZ, and then the Portland thing. It worked, they occupied it, for a long time. Precedent. The people who invaded the Capitol were in my opinion insane and suicidal. I believe they will pay a heaver price than any violent/predatory elements in the leftist riots of 2020.

True. But taking over a city block in Portland is nothing compared to a sitting president claiming an election he lost was stolen and fraudulent.

Is it nothing? That's a claim. Not one that is inarguable.
Elections lost due to fraudulence, as a social idea, are far from a new thing. Neighborhoods being taken over, now there's a new thing.

Of course it isn't. The Portland thing is worse because I hate pop culture more than I do people trying to compromise an election.

Ok, so make a choice. Call it hate, whatever. You can choose to hate both, great on you.

I have to agree with Jolly on this. When a mob rampages it rampages blind regardless of its target.

So you’d be fine if Obama refused to accept a landslide loss to Romney in 2012?

Sure, of course, why not?
Calmly and dispassionately review the problem and fix it.
What's the big deal?

In the beginning, even before the election, yes.
