Bruce Castor’s meanderings at the start of the impeachment trial

Posted By Greg Shaffer

Ahhhh yes the Kabuki Theatre.....

The simple fact that the Constitution states that the Chief Justice SHALL preside over a Presidential impeachment trial and he scoffed at the idea says it all.....No Chief Justice presiding demotes it to nothing but Kabuki Theatre.....

He was asked and refused before Trump left office. So that brings it to there is no provision in the Constitution to impeach a private citizen....which circles right back to this being nothing more than Kabuki Theatre smile

I think the whole thing is one of the biggest crocks of shit the left has ever pulled out of their ass and held up to the world as if to say check this turd out, we are so proud of it.....it comes as no surprise though, as fear and vindictiveness are powerful influencers.

The evidence against Trump is damning, overwhelming, and obvious to anyone but the most hard-core partisan.

Your opinion James.....that doesnt make it Constitutional.....just vindictive. You mean the evidence where Trump told them to protest peacefully? Show me one quote where Trump said violence was called for or where he asked for violence. Of course there are MANY quotes of leaders on the left advocating and making excuses for violence though....Your hatred is transparent and has been for a long time....it comes as no surprise that it continues.

He told them to march to the Capitol. He said, "The election was stolen. We won by a landslide!" He also said, "When you catch somebody in a fraud, you're allowed to go by different rules!" More importantly, Trump had been feeding his supporters with lies and grooming them for action weeks and months before the attack. The House Managers laid out all of Trump's complicity in minute detail.

Go on.....regarding the bolded statement above.....finish it. When he told them that what did he say? You can do it. You have a bad habit of cherry picking on this stuff James.....He told them to peacefully make their voices heard.....But that of course doesnt fit the narrative you and your party are trying to form.....

The rest of your claims are just more of the same BS that they tried to pull in the last impeachment effort....Trump and a large contingency believe the election was stolen....saying it is not a call to violence regardless of how you wish to twist it.....

They were crazed and everyone of them is saying in their defence that they were only following orders from Trump. 

"So what"??? LOL

Dont look now, but your hypocrisy is showing or it is just your TDS?.....the list of leftists using the word "fight" is long and distinguished from Obummer on down.....but of course that wasnt a call to violence right? They never condemned it either, in fact they both promoted and made excuses for it. But of course it is absolutely a call to violence when Trump uses it.....a ridiculous assertion.
