Never charged or convicted of insurrection. He is entitled to due process, like every other American. Get over it.
Confederate officers participated in a war that over 600k people died in. Trump told a bunch of goobers to peacefully and patriotically make their voices heard. Not the same thing. But I get it, Biden's presidency has been a disaster and he will lose an election against Trump. You know it, I know it, everyone knows it.
They erected a gallows, to hang the Vice President, after your dear leader told them if they “didn't fight like hell, they wouldn’t have a country”. But yeah, peaceful and patriotic. GTFO
Don't forget one of his lawyers is testifying that they made fake electors to bring and lie to steal the presidency. Which paints the reason Trump turned on his VP. Pence found out, and did his job/duty to his country. He stood up and made sure Trump couldn't stop the Presidential transition. Pence had shit views on very many things, but there is a good chance he will go down in history for not being a coward when his back was put up against the wall. He may be the one who ends up with a statue for "saving america" one day.
He's a fucking traitor who enacted a plan to topple the United States government by refusing a peaceful transfer to a democratically elected President.
Thats some tin pot dictator bullshit that has NO place in America. And neither do you, if you still follow that filthy seditionist.
Poor thing, you will be so upset next January.
Sure won't. We the majority will crush you fascists yet again.
"Fight like hell" he said, also asked the proud boys, those domestic terrorists, to "stand down, and stand by."
Not a peaceful protest. Did you not see the footage that was broadcast live for the world to see? Or are you one of those delusional idiots that needs to learn that simping for a so-called billionaire that's begging you for every dollar you can spare makes you a pretty laughable mark.
The last election wasn’t even close and that was with a hobbled post office. The Dow is at 37k, unemployment is low, Republicans are losing interest and purple Colorado just went blue.
America doesn’t want fascism.
Due process is for criminal/civil procedures. 14th amendment is concerned with job eligibility, not a loss of life, liberty, or pursuit of freedom for which due process is inherently provided.
I am not awarded due process when I apply for a new job, nor should I.
He was impeached for it, which is charging him with the crime.
Not only charged (articles of impeachment filed), but convicted by the House (actually impeached). Twice! The Senate chose not to remove him from office, that doesn't mean he didn't do it.
Just like Clinton was impeached but not removed from office. He was still found to have done what he was being impeached for by the House, the Senate chose not to remove him from office. Just because he was not removed from office, that does not make him innocent, quite the opposite.
It's not much different than a judge sentencing someone to time already served after being found guilty.
Ruling made by state supreme COURT. Claims lack of “due process”. Have you EVER taken a civics course or just have your PhD from Fox News?
Translation: "I watch exclusively conservative media and consequently have no idea what's real or not"

Terrorist sympathizers gonna simp I guess.
OJ was never convicted of murder, but he was found liable for wrongful death in a civil court. OJ's right to due process was not denied by the civil ruling against him. The consequence of that civil liability is that he owes a shit-ton of money to the estates of his victims.
Trump was found to be civilly liable for having engaged in insurrection. The consequences of that civil liability is that he is ineligible to hold the office of President.
What we should be arguing is whether any executive actions he took between January 6th and Biden's inauguration are valid, as he became ineligible to hold office on that date.
