As they arrive, another crowd of Trump supporters that has already gathered along the west perimeter fence becomes more agitated.
Around this time, a pipe bomb is reported at the Republican National Committee building, just a block away from the Capitol. Not long after, another device is discovered nearby at the Democratic National Committee headquarters.
The violence was planned long before Trump spoke, even though his speech is supposedly what he was impeached for.
The narrative is that Trump whipped his base up into a frenzy and they got violent.

The seeds where sown weeks before Jan 6th.
In a serious of tweets by Trump, he used the word " fight " on several occassions, in regard to the rally in Washington.Also saying that events on that day would be " wild "
Yes of course " fight " and " wild " has a few meanings but some Trump supporters are stupid enought to take it to mean the viloent option.
Then we had Rudy Guiliani who was acting as Trumps " warm up man " before Trump took to the stage at rally, asking for " trial by combat "
They all added up to what eventually took place.
So you believe that Trump's use of words like "fight" and "wild" made some nutjobs carefully calculate a plan to cause trouble

That's as bad and as weak as saying that using a bull's-eye on a map is inciting people to shoot political opponents.
It's not and it's a common thing used on all sides the same as using fight is.
Good lord, I supposed we ought to ban fight songs at universities because someone got into a fight in the parking lot.

Read what i said. Here it is again. " Some Trump Supporters Are Stupid Enough to take it to mean the violent option "
You are inteligent enough to know that in all walks of life there are some people who lack common sense, and take things literally. If you say there are not then you know you are lying to yourself.

I'm not saying you are wrong, Just clarifying. So by that standard, if this is enough to impeach Trump over, then the violent rhetoric we heard from Maxine Waters, and VP elect Harris would also fall in the same category. I don't think any of that is impeachment worthy, but we have to be equal. Remember, NOBODY is above the law. Even Pelosi should be lumped into this group of agitators.
Is that the way you think we should be moving, or has this been blown WAY out of proportion?
No. Not when a poster has already mentioned the articles of impeachment included 1/6/21 AND previous occurrences...
