As a second attempt at the impeachment of Donald Trump leads off, we look at opening arguments and new information about January’s siege on the Capitol.
A recent perusal of the top ten most-searched words at the website of popular online dictionary Merriam Webster revealed a lot about what’s on people’s minds. At the top of the list at number one was “fascism,” followed by “racism,” “happy,” “pandemic,” “love,” “beautiful,” “coronavirus,” “culture,” i.e.,” and lastly, “socialism.” We can’t say we’re surprised by this list, but as we consider what it reveals about people and what’s on their minds, we look at other changes in American politics that indicate how people are feeling right now about the current political climate.
Then turning our attention to the renewed attempt at the impeachment of former President Donald Trump, as opening remarks were made recently on Capitol Hill, some were confused after Trump’s defense team spent most of the time of their opening remarks decrying the siege on the U.S. Capitol Building in January. This might have confused some, but we look at the reasons for their response, which likely had to do with a new 14-minute “master cut” of the violence as it ensued back in January following a rally where then-president Trump appeared to have encouraged the crowd in attendance to take action… which had disastrous consequences.

This is a post for you, Micah. You don’t need to make it public if you do not want to. I will assume you either did not get a chance to research, or you are protecting your podcast. In these days, I can understand both.
From the so called insurrection speech…
“Now, it is up to Congress to confront this egregious assault on our democracy. And after this, we’re going to walk down, and I’ll be there with you, we’re going to walk down, we’re going to walk down.
Anyone you want, but I think right here, we’re going to walk down to the Capitol, and we’re going to cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women, and we’re probably not going to be cheering so much for some of them.
Because you’ll never take back our country with weakness. You have to show strength and you have to be strong. We have come to demand that Congress do the right thing and only count the electors who have been lawfully slated, lawfully slated.
I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.”
They lied by omission again… That last part was cut off by all of the MSM. I would say do your homework, but like so many times before, the video has been erased from history… wonder why???
I challenge you to find it and be suprised by what is really, truely, happening here.
Here’s a transcript (https://www.usnews.com/news/politics/articles/2021-01-13/transcript-of-trumps-speech-at-rally-before-us-capitol-riot), but please, by all means, find the source video/audio, if you can!
While you are at it, look back at the “good people on both sides” speech. The so called reason biden ran, another complete lie.
The dems have made one lie after another for the last 4 years, and dubunking is always as simple as listening to the source material, if you can find it. Their Trump mind-reading is flawed, and not evidence of crap.
The people voted for snake oil, the oldest definition of fraud. Republican voices deplatformed, google only sending “go vote” reminders to left leaning… fraud fraud fraud. I won’t even get into the election day anomalies, they are really irrelevant anyway, as they never received a trial before the people. Also, you don’t find crime by not looking for it.
I don’t come from the middle, or the left, or the right, I come from a completely outside perspective. I don’t give a crap about democrats or replubicans in the slightest, they are both just murderers, liers and theives, who’s only difference to you and me is their use of violence and fear to force their will on others. If you want to know evil, that is it’s very definition.
What I do care about is the truth.
I also care when the dems start accusing the only political party that swore an oath to not use force or violence of also being a problem, because they don’t vote for their overloards.
What’s Right for the Left? 🙂
