"Exonerates him" lol. Let's catch you up on the news since you're too cheap or too poor to spend money for any yourself. Trump was not exonerated . He was impeached . The Senate despite a majority vote would not convict him but as SML McConnell plainly stated was due only to a technicality which in turn gave cover to the 43 who voted not to acquit done so purely in the interest of their political careers.
The technicality was falsified evidence.
The lack of due process, hearsay, Sixth Amendment rights to confront accusers etc.
It wasn’t a criminal trial , but still, is it proper to falsify evidence, and then, when you get busted red-handed, shrug it off because you were only doing it to a Republican?

Even Moscow Mitch said that Donald Trump had engaged in a “disgraceful dereliction of duty.”
The highest elected GOP official at that. The coup was without question an example of how far the right will go to protect one of it's own.
Have you ever listened to a football coach in the locker room at halftime?
Trump was no high school coach and that attempted coup was no game.

Ok I've got to hear this . What falsified evidence? What he said and what he incited was all they on video tape and for the record. We'll see just how "falsified" that evidence was if he is criminally charged. If he is the only thing he has going for him would be the difficulty in finding an impartial jury to hear the case because the whole country saw the coup attempt played out right before their very eyes.

The House did not withhold the articles. McConnell made it clear that he would not ACCEPT the articles of impeachment until AFTER the inauguration. What else could they do? Go downtown and rent a storage locker? As for the video of the coup the House offered the parts that favored the prosecution while the defense presented a version that favored them.

Yah, the defense showed what actually happened as opposed to the edited House version.

At least 22 retired and currently serving military personnel have been charged. Now if it wasn't a coup attempt in your view what was it?
If it was a coup attempt it had no chance. Having 22 ex military guys isn't exactly 100,000 troops with tank and air support.

As if the defense's version was NOT edited. lol.
They compared what happened with the House version. The House managers were highly selective, trying to create a narrative. All the defense had to do was show the video without the edits. What's troubling is in spite of House mgrs clearly trying to mislead senators 57 of them still voted t convict. The TDS runs right through the Senate.

Oh so what you're saying is that a coup attempt is not a coup attempt unless it is backed by and with the assistance of the military. lmao.
Be glad US armed forces didn't back it or they would still be out there today sopping up the blood or the capital steps and yes you would have gotten what you wanted.... Donald Trump president for life with the backing of the military and martial law

Since this is by no means over and similar attempts could be undertaken . And since you're going to Mexico I suggest that you stay there because you might actually be better off under the total domination of the Mexican drug cartel .

You keep saying I have my hand out. Where are all these benefits I'm supposed to be getting? And I'm in Mexico next month. When the day comes I'll be paying my way, not using Medicare. And one thing I realized driving around Texas since November. The amount of investment in this state was huge during the Trump years. Meanwhile Biden is proposing a tax on unrealized appreciation. People like farmers if they enact that tax will have to sell out, putting land into government conservatorship while big AG runs wild. You don't even know you're screwed yet, but before Biden is through you will be. Difference between you and me is you'll grab your ankles with a grin and beg for more.
Did you think I didn't notice the fact that you said nothing about what you did with your first two COVID handouts or what you plan to do with the third and likely to be your largest government hand out? You could drive all around the work and still not be able to ignore the fact that you gladly cashed the first two handouts will gladly accept and cash the third handout which will likely pay for the gas for your trip to Mexico.
