since losing the election Obama admins and hillary Clinton supporters in 2016 have waged a campaign to frame Donald trump as an enemy of America. Despite absolutely no proof beyond allegations they have created a dangerous climate where rioters under the guise of racial justice and anti facism took control of a city and declared it an independent zone. Dozens died from the riots across the nation while democrats and news anchors cheered and called for more while continuing to insist trump is the enemy of America and all that is decent.

Over a year ago when Trump’s first impeachment proceedings had passed congress, I thought it was stupid, like really stupid, I even wrote a Thread about it. I basically believed that it was politically motivated, with him facing is second impeachment I also happen to believe that is largely politically motived, Impeachment is after all a political affair. So, it’s always going to be political, the question then is should the process reach its final destination and culminate with the removal of Trump from office. Last time I thought not, this time though I definitely do think that Trump should be removed from office and I would like to explain why.
As it stands, unless Pence invokes the 25th amendment to remove Trump from office the democrats are going to have Trump impeached in congress for the crime of “Incitement of Insurrection against the United States”. The question then is did Trump incite the events that took place on the 6th of January at the Capitol building, that’s at the very core off all of this.
Did Trump’s words or actions provoke the unlawful violence at the Capitol?
I think the answer to this question depends on your politics, it depends if you believe Trump when he claims that the 2020 election was stolen from him and his supporters through fraudulent means. If you do believe this, if you truly believe this, then you must then believe that the actions that took place on capitol hill were justified in protecting against what would amount to a coup via covert, fraudulent, criminal means. The people who invaded the Capitol done so because they believed that the election had been stolen from them and from Trump, and why did they believe this? Because that’s exactly what Trump told them, repeatedly, that the 2020 election had been stolen.
Okay so now the question becomes, Was the 2020 election stolen?
Now Trump had primed his followers for this eventuality for months before the election, he primed them by telling them that vote by mail would lead to unthinkable fraud. Then even before all of the votes had been counted there where talks of “stop the steal”, he wanted to “stop the count” when it looked like he might be losing the election.
Since losing that election Trump has massively ramped up his talk of fraud, filing lawsuits, lots of tweets ranting about how the election has been “Stolen” rather than accepting the results of the election. Lots of claims have been made to the Courts of voter fraud but so far none of them have been upheld that would prove voter fraud on the scale that would change the results.
This is biggest problem; Trump is telling his supporters that they election was stolen from them yet so far there has been no proof that has been upheld that proves voter fraud on the scale that would sway the election. So, trump is making a claim that in the absence of any proof to support it must be concluded therefore to be untrue, a lie. He knows this is a lie.
These lies where repeated during his speech on the sixth of January before the attack on Capitol hill in his hour-long speech bellow, he repeated several lies and falsehoods to his supports as he thanked them after they chanted “Fight for Trump! Fight for Trump”.
This entire speech is riddled with various inflammatory lies that are going to inflame and provoke an already angry crowd but after listening to the whole thing the part that really sticks out to me is towards the end where Trump says:
Our brightest days are before us, our greatest achievements still wait. I think one of our great achievements will be election security because nobody until I came along, had any idea how corrupt our elections were. And again, most people would stand there at 9:00 in the evening and say, “I want to thank you very much,” and they go off to some other life, but I said, “Something’s wrong here. Something’s really wrong. Can’t have happened.” And we fight. We fight like Hell and if you don’t fight like Hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore.

Perhaps you think you are talking to your Democrat friends...They wouldn't know or even care if you are telling the truth...Just as you obviously don't mind stretchin' it a bit to justify your position...
You could be honest and admit that NONE of the evidence was presented before a judge...The judges wouldn't allow it...So they didn't have to rule on it...
And to say there is no evidence is just plain ignorant or dishonest...We've seen the evidence...We've listened to the eyewitnesses...We have watched the fraud in real time...
And like the impeachment committee you will ignore the evidence and testimony and impeach Trump, again...

Because your socialist judges, and bought off AG and judges, by socialist elitist Soros, decided not to listen to the lawsuits it doesn't mean the lawsuits didn't have merit...

The same thing happened in Germany a long time ago.
Are you pretending that the us and Uk didn’t take on countless nazi into their ranks following the war? Surely you’ve heard of project paper clip?

Around the same time the Drumpf family left Germany and changed their name to Trump?
Double standards? You want to talk about double standards? My egg covered friend, you call it a mostly peaceful protest when you agree with the rioters, you call them terrorists when you don’t (we call them all rioters). Shifting goal posts? How about this impeachment? The goal post has been moved to a new stadium every news cycle.

It's funny because there is no evidence judges were paid off. The court cases were dismissed for valid reasons. It's sad how often you've had to shift goalposts (by you I'm referring to President Reject Trump's Fanatical Supporters Cult) just to make your narrative fit. If I ever did that, well actually I just never do that. If you have to shift goalposts to win an argument, you didn't really win, did you?
You speak of irony but the ultimate irony in your post is that you don't seem to care that the rules were also changed in states Trump won, you don't have issue with that though, it's only the States Drumpf lost in that bother you. Double standards, irony, shifting goalposts. Face it, you're on the losing side.
Will Trump pull a last minute miracle with a God given trick up his sleeve, or will the swamp win?

Whatever happens, the NWO will eventually achieve their agenda and gain full control of the planet for 9 months. Only after these 9 months will divine intervention occur.
When are these 9 months you ask? Thats the million dollar question. Some scholars believe its either 2022, some say its 2028!

Except the only people that are saying this are trump supporters. And no official sources besides trump are confirming "the steal" theory.
So it's hard to believe and comes off as mostly bias conspiracy especially when you consider that Trump has a history of exclaiming cheating and told his followers there may be cheating before the election happened.
So it's hard to take any claims of cheating seriously.
Especially by the Qanon people of ATS.

You speak of intolerance yet you have a rabid intolerance for what you call "the left".
The irony on here from Trump fanatics is off the scale.

Actually, the reality is that Trump's "legal team" were incompetent shysters peddling wild allegations in fatally flawed law suits without anything like sufficient evidence of massive electoral fraud to justify overturning the election result which suits were rightly tossed out of Court.
Because they were utter rubbish.

I saw more than enough evidence to bring this to court. I have seen cases brought to court with a lot less evidence than what Trump's legal team had. Trump's legal team is anything but incompetent. Falling for media lies aren't you?

No, the irony is that you precieve that I'm intollerant because I'm calling out the left for their lies and actions. When the true intolerance comes from the left themselves.
They have been pounding that lie in everyone with the help of mainstream media that poeple are starting to really believe it. Trump supporters are intollerant, violent, racist, liars. I see it in the news, from senators lips, commentaries, talk shows day in and day out, over and over again.
Im actually not suprised you think like this. This is a part of their agenda. Anyone who disagrees with them is labled.
If they succeed, that labling is only going to get worse. It will be intensified to the point where people will be cheering when we get arrested and taken to the camps.
If you dont think that is going to happen, guess again. This is history repeating itself.
