This kind of reminds me of the O.J. trial. Overwhelming evidence O.J. did it, but the jury didn’t care because there was an agenda to uphold. The Dems don’t care to look into it because of the perp. Now if you’re talking Trump, lets go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except there isn't overwhelming evidence that Joe Biden did anything illegal. I know YOU believe there is and that you blame Democrats for not letting the case move forward, but the reality is that even the House Republicans can't all agree that Biden did anything illegal or impeachment worthy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not because he didn’t do anything wrong, it’s because the Republican house knows it isn’t going anywhere and politically it is dead. They will still keep investigating and bring up anything they find to the public. Although it will not matter as the truth eludes the left.

That's why it's not going anywhere in the GOP controlled house and why it's politically dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, there is evidence as shown by the committee, more than enough compared to Trump’s impeachment (either one), but waiting is the best course of action at this time.

CoffeeTiger 5,198 Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 4 hours ago, I_M4_AU said: I bet this news will not be forthcoming at NPR anytime soon. In a bombshell accusation, Joe Biden’s very own former stenographer unleashed a devastating critique of the president, alleging deep-seated corruption tied to a Ukrainian energy giant. In a new publication, Mike McCormick, a former stenographer for Biden, presented a scathing indictment of the president’s involvement in criminal activities, specifically focusing on a purported kickback scheme with Ukrainian energy company Burisma. McCormick, who traveled globally with Biden, including trips to Ukraine, has released a book titled “The Case to Impeach and Imprison Joe Biden,” offering a comprehensive account to date of the allegations. https://trendingpoliticsnews.com/new-bidens-own-stenographer-calls-for-his-imprisonment-mace/?utm_source=proude&utm_medium=twitter#google_vignette Of course, this really isn’t *evidence*; its news because he wants to sell his book, just like Biden stole the classified documents so he could write a book and make money. Apparently this guy came out with this book and these "Bombshell allegations" late in 2023. Why is Right wing media just now picking it up and reporting on it 4 months later? I'd say it looks like him and his publisher are probably paying these right wing sites to "report" on it as advertisements, as it doesn't appear the book sold very well on it's own merits...

You had officials, politicians, media, etc. repeating talking points that Trump never ordered troops. That was simply an effort to shield folks from accountability for security failures. We have testimony from the J3 meeting where Trump offered the troops and was told by Miller, "We have it covered" which we now know was incorrect, but also sheds light on why the troops weren't ordered. The offer was turned down. The "narrative" is quite simple: 10,000 troops with riot gear and no "insurrection/riot" occurs on J6. Skirmishes and arrests happen with crowds of that size, but not remotely at the same level when adequate planning and security measures are in place. I think it's important to note by the day's end J6 over 7500 troops had been ordered. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s call a deterrent, something the left does not believe in as they want to defund the police. In Denver they are defending the police to afford their Sanctuary City status.

I am not aware of anyone being forced into the capitol on J6. Bad choices were made, some worse than others, and those found guilty were or will be punished. The point should have been clear, but I'll reiterate. 10,000 troops in riot gear could have prevented the Capitol breach. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know full well that only a fringe of the fringe actually supports defunding. I am very confident that if that same fringe were the guilty parties storming the halls of Congress, that you would be demanding they be put to death or something along those lines.

Well, duuuuuuh! And if Trump had not created the conditions in the first place it wouldn't have happened. And if Trump had tried to get them to stop instead of passively watching, they might have stopped. (My personal theory on that is that his ego was just too enthralled because they were rioting on his behalf.) And if Trump ordered troops, why didn't he ensure it was done?
