This whole factual story being laid out by the House Managers in this trial - we watched as it happened in real time and did nothing.
We had to let the Capitol be stormed by insurrectionists and have 5 people die and countless others injured and maimed before we could even try to stop this insanity.
And now we are in the midst of another impeachment trial - and the MSM, the talking heads and even some U.S. Office holders are telling us that we can't get 17 Repug Senators to go along with the Dems to convict this despicable criminal.
They say - it's inevitable. He's going to be acquitted.
So next week - we'll be hearing from and seeing Tr**p come out of his hidey-hole - gloating and saying that he was exonerated.
Just think we watched all this happen in real time and did nothing. We did nothing. We let him get away with this.

What more could we have done?

I'm glad Pelosi and Schumer have now moved to impeachment - but why didn't we stop it in it's tracks while it was rolling out and happening (i.e., the big lie, stop the steal and storm the capitol).
Why can we see now so plainly what the plan was? Why didn't we see it has it was progressing up and to Jan 6th?

(36,106 posts)I don't know if that's what was meant
but that's what I read as "we" - US intel, law enforcement, legislators, etc

(146,286 posts)Clarity matters. The word "we" is always inclusive of "I." So,using it begs the question.

(146,286 posts)What were we to do? What we did was defeat the man in an election and he is now the former President, twice impeached. We won! We did not lose.
What do you think we should have done instead? Answer that, please.

(52,196 posts)If I (along with 81 millions others) hadn't voted for Biden, Donnie wouldn't have lost and then directed a mob to try to overturn the election, hence no second impeachment.
You're welcome.
