Glad your not worried about civil war, maybe you should worry about criminalizing domestic opposition and the abuse of state power to affect elections.

ItтАЩs very troubling - one reason I watched the January 6th hearings so closely was to learn how Trump tried to do that.

So if the Biden administration tried to hastily cobble together a case to kneecap Trump out of fear he would declare his candidacy soon, heads should roll.

Not much I didnтАЩt already know: Donald Trump is an un-American thug who should have never come within sniffing distance of power. But like any other gangster, he is entitled to the defenses of our legal and constitutional system, and it would be a dangerous abuse if those were suspended to go after him here. If. Remains to be seen what exactly went down.

thousands of hours of videos not released by the "select committee". They don't want people to see what really happened... or did not happen... that day.

This is moral judgement, not information. Sounds like you learned nothing and just deepened your irrational hatred of the man, which was the entire point of the phony "investigation."

I figured it was more expedient to share my conclusions. The particulars that I learned were that his inner circle were constantly threatening resignation to keep him from taking extreme steps that would have seriously imperiled the country, that Mike Pence was under even more direct threat than we had previously known from media reporting and still understood what his duty was under the law, that Trump expressed specific frustration that his people were not able to get violent and threaten the Capitol rather than, as I had previously thought, that he just wanted them to be heard to show how much they loved him and soothe his wounded ego or whatever. I learned that a sitting President betrayed his oath to the Constitution and to the country, that any functioning political system would have impeached him, and that anyone like you who still has their head in the sand about this has let their partisan rage run away with their brains just as surely as any TDS-afflicted democrat screaming at the sky.

Oh! I almost forgot...

14. They called Ashley Babbit's murder "heroism" less than a year after they praised riots over police brutality during a pandemic lockdown. I will never forgive the Democrats for that. It was absolutely, unequivocally evil.

15. They kept on lying about Sicknick being killed by protestors months and months after the truth had already come out.

"Trump expressed specific frustration that his people were not able to get violent and threaten the Capitol"

That is a complete lie. Both before and during the riot he explicitly called for calm and peace.

Here's what I learned from the J6 hearings:

1. It has no legislative purpose and as such is completely illegal.

2. Their use of the word "insurrection" is a willful, divisive, inflammatory lie, and people like you believe their lies

3. Their major "bombshell" testimony was third party hearsay that proves to be false. After five years of phony "bombshell" revelations, Democrats will still fall for the same lies and rhetorical tactics, because they choose to.

4. The J6 committee brazenly edited Trump's texts. They doctored their "evidence" in plain site. They are brazen lies. Democrats don't care

5. They are dragging the show out as long as possible.

6. It was conceived from the outset as made-for-TV Reality Government, produced by the same company that did a two year investigation into Epstein and then buried it because they came up with incriminating evidence on Bill Clinton.

7. They lied about Trump saying Mike Pence should be hanged.

8. They lied about Ray Epps. I really can't say this one enough. It's so brazen and so obvious that Epps was a plant and they're protecting him. Again, Democrats simply don't care what the truth is.

9. They made no effort at all to explain the lack of Capitol Hill security, and they were dishonest about Trump repeatedly offering to put more law enforcement in the way of his own "insurrection."

10. Every single person on that committee spread lies and conspiracy theories about Trump for years. Again, Democrats simply don't care how much damage their divisive lies do.

11. Every person on the committee was specifically selected by Pelosi, one of the most partisan and deceitful politicians in my lifetime.

12. Their while purpose was to prove Trump's guilt, and they had to lie over and over to try to do it.

13. People like you simply don't care what the truth is, and never will.

More likely You and Terry are DTS. That's the opposite of TDS. It means Deranged Trump Supporters. Moral judgment? I call it a judgment on the man's character, which is below zero. DTSs won't see it that way, because they can't see except outta the far-right eye.
