Sen. Durbin: Those Who Raided Capitol Must Be Held Accountable | Morning Joe | MSNBC
Walking and chewing gum? It’s a little more complicated than that.
First, the red crowd needs to clean their own house, the DOJ will be on that job too.
We have enough investigators and prosecutors to handle the job while juggling all the other stuff.
There can be no Real Healing until there is Accountability and Justice including Trump and his people!
They not gonna do nothing due to the skin color and political views. Especially if they give a lot political $$ during the campaigns
Make the southern flag a form of hate speach.
Lock them up!
Those who cheated in the election must be held accountable. Those who burned federal court houses and assaulted police last summer must be held accountable. Those who lied to a FISA court to illegally spy on the Trump Admin must be held accountable. Those who committed perjury before congress re: the Russian Collusion Hoax must be held accountable. Those who lied about the fake Ukrainian whistleblower must be held accountable. Seems there is some unfinished business for God almighty.
If anything is taken from the past 4years to present is America is a failed country….allowing them to get away with this and they will proves it
What about the domestic terrorist BLM and antifa burning down court houses rioting and looting they must be brought to justice
MSNBC IS FAKE NEWS!!!!
This was orchestrated by Democrats.
OYFE. Trump incited nothing.
The Democrats who were involved will be exposed and prosecuted.
Trump has more to come as well. Look at that comments. Listen to what people who didn’t even storm the Capitol. “I’ll die for Donald Trump”.
Imagine what will happen when Trump is charged. Totally cornered. He’ll send a video out begging that the very Trump supporters you see in these comments, “Come to protest this judge ! Tear the courtroom down ! Burn liberal NYC with obvious exception”.
His supporters will come. He got the 2nd most number of votes in US history.
What happens when you’ve got 50 000 NYPD facing down half a million Trump supporters ? Will the National Guard be able to handle that ?
Honestly, I simply cannot see a good outcome. Trump is in debt to the tune of 500 million. His banks are abandoning him like everyone else.
Civil and impeachment trials are imminent, and it’s possible that criminal charges will be laid. Very possible.
Will Trump supporters try to help Trump ?
The US had been VERY lucky in terms of leaders and crises until 2016.
Before Sherman took Atlanta, Lincoln was losing to McLellan, who, a former Union General, had one major policy: let the South secede.
That was an existential crisis for America. So too was the Great Depression. FDR may have lost if people knew he had polio. The NY primary opponent, Al Smith, was tough.
Yet – Every time an event has happened, which could have destroyed the USA, the nation has been lucky enough to have a President with the skills and abilities needed to keep the country as one.
I think America’s luck may have run out. The virulent Coronavirus pandemic will be handled.
But how can the USA be inoculated against the political virus which led 75 million people to the polls to vote for Trump ?
Trump could release a video right now, and have hundreds of thousands, maybe millions of people as his own private army. January 6 was a skirmish, and the people involved wanted – and many Trump supporters would LOVE – to start, frankly, eliminating people they see as the enemy. Democrats.
They hate Biden and always will because they are convinced he stole the election.
They love Trump. In their minds, he’s a true strong man, the best President in history and, in fact, Trump IS America to them.
Worse, the Republican Party will now want MORE people like Trump. A smarter, less volatile Trump could be extraordinarily dangerous.
What do you do, hope do you have a country, when half really wants a King, a tough guy, rule of law be damned ?
If the GOP splits further, it might be a partial solution. So too, to reinstate The Fairness Doctrine.
I’ve tried to examine this from as many angles as possible, but extremism and a desire for authoritarianism spreads like a virus. Especially online. Just less than half of to he US appear to want authoritarianism.
How can the US remain the US when calls to unity fall upon the deaf ears of those who don’t care, don’t want unity, but war ? Who want a strongman ?
Sedition is a serious felony punishable by fines and up to 20 years in prison and it refers to the act of inciting revolt or violence against a lawful authority with the goal of destroying or overthrowing it
Misplaced priorities . Why flog a dead Horse ?
We have seen sedition last night in Portland Oregon in which members of antifa and anarchist groups attacked federal buildings, attacked private property and also attacked our Democrat party offices. Interviewed persons stated they opposed the Biden presidency.
There were also additional seditious riots in Seattle by the DisruptJ20 group That also opposes the Biden presidency and wishes to overturn it.
We must hear more from our party and from the Biden administration in order to have an even handed response to these groups that wish to riot against our government. In contrast yesterday we saw thousands of peaceful Trump supporters lining the road between the airport in Mar-a-Lago welcome in this retired president to his new home. There was cheering and flag waving rather than flag burning and rioting.
We almost in the hate and the bitterness in political rancor we must all work to make the Biden presidency the best one ever.
Time’s up !!
AS FAR AS I KNOW, THOSE TWO VICIOUS FOOLS WHO WANTED TRUMP’S PARDON NEVER GOT IT AND AS I SAID, $$$$ TALKS EVEN THOUGH THOUSANDS OF TIPS CAME IN, THERE WERE TENS OF THOUSANDS TRASHING THIS PLACE AND ALL SHOULD BE CHARGED WITH INCITEMENT AND ACCESSORIES TO MURDER!!!
…the MORNING JOKE!!! LOL
Well one of my mother’s favorite sayings may apply here
“An eye for an eye, and the whole world goes blind”
The question remains wether this turns into a training run or if we can be the bigger man and F*cking Forgive………
We all feel we have just done a really dirty job and have come out of a hot shower, scrubbed and clean and smelling sweet. It is the same relief. We have washed away the filth !!! Trump feels impotent now – he cannot touch us – the curtain has been lifted and we can see the Oz is small, has no clothes and cannot threaten us any longer. The bully has been expelled from the school.
So do the senators who enabled(repeated the lies) and incited a violent insurrection.How can american citizens be held accountable for the same actions in the future ,if they arent?what does that say about our laws our legal system
?they all ,NO MATTER who or what uniform they wear , need to be held accountable and CONVICTED the same as a regular citizen.
…all the talk about division and unity by the GOP if this, if that…is pure nonsense…recent history is replete with their double talk…there can be no unity until or unless there’s truth and justice…for insurrectionist, whether they hold or held high office or not…I hope we don’t get caught in the mire by these hypocritical politicians…
*Illinois is so proud of you Senator Durbin as is America! Thank you for your patriotism and the amazing work you do for the people of Illinois and the rest of the country!*
Let the AG takes care of their crimes because the Republicans will vote on party lines . If they are convicted , they can not be reps again .
