New Video Of Capitol Riot Reveals Shocking Violence And Emotional Pleas For Help

@@kopfjaegerxxx Just that those riots followed centuries of racial abuse, killings, unbelievable injustice and countless intentional cold blooded murders. While Trump said months ahead, if he loses it's fraud. Trump always knew ands never believed the election got "stolen" from him. He just instagated and riled up his naive following, who, if you watch recent copium videos, still believe his maniacal and hysterical lies. They actually believe the garbage from his mouth.

[@drmantistobboggangonzodr3961]

Some Republican congressmen said their minds were already made up before the beginning of this impeachment and before the last Chump impeachment as well. They shouldn’t be able to participate. If I was selected for jury duty and said that, I should not be a juror. It’s ridiculous how blatant the partisan BS is. They no longer even attempt to hide their corruption or their contempt for the people and their belief that they are above the law. It’s disgusting. Honestly I’m sure that the majority of Democrat congressmen and women are just as partisan and already have decided to vote by party on any issue before seeing all the information on it out of their partisan politics, greed and desire to hang on to or increase their power. Very few seem to show through their own words or actions that they care about the well being of their constituents who they seem to forget they are supposed to work for, particularly at that level (local politics are not as bad although there is plenty of corruption there as well.). They actually work for their campaign donors, lobbyists for special interests, the NRA in the case of Republicans and some Democrats who both take money from them.... and it is no secret. As far as I am aware no Democrat has had the arrogance or stupidity to come out and say they have already made up their minds. It doesn’t matter, though. It only means in most cases that they know how to play the game better. Due to gerrymandering, etc. (much of it perfectly legal yet still reprehensible) they don’t seem to even think they need to court votes anymore it seems.

Honestly, I think someone should call this a mistrial. The right to a fair trial is not being followed if the jurors aren’t paying attention to any of the prosecution’s arguments.

[@amouramarie]

It's kind of silly that they're basically there to determine if their own party members did anything wrong. It's like the police investigating their own conduct. The outcome of any one person's vote is 90% certain, and was before this even started. It's stupid. There'd be a better chance of a 'fair trial' with a random assortment of citizen jurors.

[@meh8982]

@@amouramarie It's because their party is completely corrupt (as are many police departments for that matter). Senators are supposed to be better than that. If a Democratic president had done something like this, I can guarantee that the majority of Democrats would convict.
