Trump should be removed from office and charged with Insurrection.

[myth]

"Whoever incites, sets on foot, assists, or engages in any rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the United States or the laws thereof, or gives aid or comfort thereto, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States." 18 U.S. Code § 2383 - Rebellion or insurrection

Not only is Trump the only person in the US who's recently actually tried to steal an election (i.e. the famous Georgia phone call, repeated lies about election fraud, pressuring the VP to unilaterally steal the election, and inciting insurrection at the Capitol), but he's violated his oath of office by disregarding the Constitution, which he swore an oath to uphold. For all my fellow conservatives out there, if these actions don't inspire you reflect on your own civic duty as an American first (and Republican second), then I'm not sure anything could. What would it take, otherwise? Would Trump have to wave a Nazi flag and start shooting people on the White House lawn?

I know I have a bit a reputation around here for disliking Trump, but his actions these last few weeks are beyond the pale. I'm ashamed to have voted for him twice. I'll also go ahead and make a commitment: if Trump runs for elected office again (in which I'm eligible to vote), I will literally vote for any candidate running against him. I don't care if it's my neighbor's dog running against him, I will not be party to helping this depraved narcissist set fire to our Constitution again. The same goes for any politician who votes against impeachment if that vote gets off the floor. I'll never vote for any politician ever again who votes against impeachment now. If the politicians can't suspend their own personal interest for once in their miserable lives, they don't deserve to hold office ever again.

He won't run; no way, no how. I think Trump is in deep trouble. I think they're going to come after him pretty hard. Your wishes will be fulfilled.

I disliked him before, but I harbored no ill will against him. But between the phone call and events at the Capitol, I really think he should be investigated and charged criminally. My desire it's all about punishment. I think this is a critical moment for our country, and we need to send a message that election fraud and inciting riots with the goal of stealing an election is just wrong, no matter who you are.

Now that would incite insurrection...

Perhaps that's the intent... problem, reaction, solution.

I love his libertarian policies as POTUS. Too bad he's a nut. Now we have real enemies-of-the-people in office.

The insurrection has already happened. Or, perhaps more articulately, the attempt.

Um, no. That was just a taste. I know you and the left love to blow that out of proportion like it was the end of the world, but we're talking about a bunch of disorganized, unarmed Trump rabble rousers. We're not talking about trained and armed militias all around the country waiting in the shadows.

Still meets the definition, does it not? That's also why I qualified it as an "attempt". You really don't read well, do you?

Not all of them were untrained rabble rousers. Two of the heavy hitters who actually knew what they were doing and came prepared to do it have been identified. One had a significant military history.

And a cop died! Can we not gloss over that like it's meaningless?

I read it, I just disagreed. It wasn't an "attempt." Disorganized, unarmed Trump rabble rousers acting on impulse. Had it been an attempt, there would have been a whole lot more carnage and horror than that.

Chants from over the summer.

"What do we want? Dead Cops! When do we want it? Right Now!"

Yup. Criminally charge, or not, the guilty and move along.

It's hilarious. Apparently Trump had this big broad conspiracy plan in place that relied on a bunch of inept people storming a building en-masse and then goofing around in the Capitol Building.
