Since the leader of the fascist party was acquitted , does anyone think that

[turbinetree]

traitors that stormed the capital will not use the defence ................he got off why can't I...........and the only recourse is that the DC attorney files charges against traitor that lead the pie hole bunch and there insurrection...........and what's really disgusting to add to this crime is that three fucking presently sitting senators went and had a gabfest with his attorney's while the hearings was going on.............in broad daylight..................think now it's time to get rid of the filibuster ................because this republic will be attacked again from the "inside"............

1. It wasn't a criminal trial

and he was charged with inciting, not actually storming the building. So that is a useless defense.

2. Different judges. Different political v legal outcomes.

3. I would like to say NO! But it really depends on how jury selection goes. The 43 Senators

who voted to acquit aren't free thinkers -- they take their marching orders from somewhere.

4. The defense that he got off wouldn't and couldn't be used. Interesting idea, though.

5. Joe Manchin, D. Wisconsin, WILL NOT vote to kill the fillibuster.

Without his vote, we don't have enough votes to stop it.

6. Wi. is in sad shape politically,

but please don't push Munching off on us too.

7. Ha ha! Sorry!!! Sorry! No!! He's West Virginia!

I promise I won't push him off on y'all!

8. Impeachment is the short game so to speak

Civil and criminal indictments are the things to watch for. He may outlive the legal actions that ought to dog him for years, but the base case is that he dies broke, disgraced, unsupported, uncheered, unloved, knowing that his supporters, inner circle, and crime family are all in prison or facing prison. Kind of like how Limbaugh lived long enough with lung cancer to see everything he cheered on come crashing down and stations starting to drop him (not drop him like a flaming sack of dog crap...yet. They may get there if he lingers a while).
