The Washington Post's COVID Death Map
There is more information unfolding about the Trump Nazi Party’s insidious role in the pre-planned assault on the U.S Capital. This blog previously asked how did the Stormtroopers know where all the rooms were located? What we now know is that there were people on the “inside” who gave tours to insurrections a couple of days before the attack. Tours had been suspended since March due to the Trump Virus, but there were members of Congress who arranged these private tours, anyway. Once inside the Capital, these seditionists took notes on detailing their attack route. This is a conspiracy by Trump Nazis working as public officials and who took an oath to uphold the Constitution, yet they decided to become traitors. Once identified, they should be prosecuted under the 14th Amendment, Section 3, which says that anyone who pledged an oath to the Constitution and then violated that oath could be removed from office permanently. The Senate would have to hold a trial, a quick one at that, before a vote to impeach could be done.
Donald Jailbird Trump has been impeached for a second time. He was always told to ‘be the bestest’ at whatever he does. He will forever be known as the worst president in history. Now he is the best of the worst presidents. Heckuva Job, Donald.
The Senate trial won’t begin until January 20 because Moscow Mitch decided to be an obstructionist, once again, and not immediately start the trial, which would likely result in the conviction before Inauguration Day. Now, Trump could be convicted after he becomes a private citizen, once again. Did the Trump Nazis inside the halls of Congress actually believe that they would get away with the act of sedition? Did they actually believe that they would be successful with “trial by combat”? Donald Jailbird Trump Junior said to the rally crowd before their assault and chants to “Hang Mike Pence” and “Kill Nancy Pelosi”, “We’re coming for you.” Dumb-Dumb Donnie senior said, “We won this election and we won it by a landslide” in spite of the fact that he had absolutely no proof even after losing 64 lawsuits. “We will never give up, we will never concede.” “You don’t concede when there is theft involved. Our country has had enough. We will not take it anymore.” “You will have an illegitimate president. That is what you will have, and we can’t let that happen. If you don’t fight like hell, you won’t have a country anymore. We’re going to march down to the Capital, and I will be with you…” He lied. He lied about all of it. He lost the legitimate and fair election but he decided to incite the crowd to not believe it. He incited the crowd to believe that he and only he must sit on his throne for another four years even though he lost the election.
What is incitement under the law?
Incitement is not a crime under the First Amendment unless it meets certain criteria. First of all, it has to be intended to cause violence (and you infer that intent from the circumstances). It also has to be likely to cause violence. If I go downtown and I say to two drunks standing in front of a bank "let's rob this bank right now", I haven't really incited anybody because it's not very likely they'll rob the bank. It has to be likely to cause - and this is very important - imminent violent action.
If I say let's meet here tomorrow and rip things up, I'm not inciting because - in the words of the Supreme Court - where there is time for better counsels to prevail, the remedy for speech is more speech. So it needs to be directed to and likely to cause imminent violent action.
If this was a court of law, does Trump cross the line?
It's quite rare that somebody can be convicted of incitement. In applying that to the president's speech at the Wednesday rally, it's an agonizingly close case. It's pretty goddamn imminent because he's telling people to march to the Capitol and I will march with you. There wouldn't be any time for better counsels to prevail because you're just going to leave the Ellipse and walk down Pennsylvania Avenue. He says we have to fight and show strength, but he also said we're very peacefully and patriotically going to ask, so he's covering himself. In the end, I think it's a jury question.
I'm not sure he's entitled to a dismissal of charges as a matter of law. There's some discussion that government leaders have more leeway, but I don't know how that would play out. He clearly knew there were people in that crowd who were ready to and intended to be violent, and he certainly did nothing to discourage that. He not only did nothing to discourage it, he strongly hinted it should happen.”
Now when you add that members of Congress pre-planned to give a group of insurrectionists a hands-on and in-person tour of the floor plan of the Capital, then one could easily conclude that there was a conspiracy to incite violence and an armed insurrection. These actions were on Trump’s behalf and were part of his plan to overturn a legitimate election without a single thread of proof that he deserved it.
Trump’s problems are just beginning. He is a national disgrace and his dishonor will follow him throughout the rest of his life. Let us hope that it stains his entire family and his business, as well.
When you have Nitwit award winning clowns running the show, you end up with a Nitwit circus in chaos.
