    This is not a court of law. It's an internet Q&A site. You want answers, I've shown you where to get them. If you refuse to watch the impeachment hearing for your answers, then don't come back here b**ching and whining because no one here will give you a quote you want. You've now been given more than you ever asked for. All it takes is spending time watching history being made.

    I asked you for a quote that could be used for evidence. You don't have one, and it makes you angry. All you seem to have is the same irrational hatred of DT that Pelosi has. If Trump called for insurrection, then post the quote where he did. Otherwise, just admit you don't have it.

    Geez, you're impossible. To repeat ___

    So it's not a matter of a quote here and there. It's an entire pattern of behavior lasting for months since the election. Are you up to examining that pattern?

    Yes it was absurd misinterpretation (and that is being generous ) . I saw some great cherry picking during the Dem's prosecution spliced and manufactured video.(very professionally done video ..... too good for a bunch of Congressional geeks to make . The footage was much higher quality than what we have seen even from the compliant press....Goebbels would've been proud ) .Never once did they show the relevant quote where Trump told his supporters to peacefully march to the Capitol to support the Republicans who were doing constitutional challenges of the electors . Somehow that did not make it into the video presentation .

    BTW . The lawyers Trump hired to defend him suck . He should've asked Dershowitz to defend him again. As an example ;the assault on the Capitol began almost a half hour before Trump ever mentioned going to the Capitol building . I would think his lawyers would know that .

    When Schmucky stood in front of the Supreme Court when it was in session and yelled to the mob gathered outside the court "“Hey, Gorsuch. Hey, Kavanaugh. You have unleashed a whirlwind and you are going to pay the price” was that incitement to insurrection ? When James Comey said “The Republican Party needs to be burned down. It is just not a healthy political organization” was that not incitement to insurrection ?

    As 'j' has already commented . Lawmakers frequently make inflammatory comments . Many were made supporting riots in the last year and urging more of the same . Many were made when the Federal Court House in Portland was under siege . Is the Supreme Court building and Federal Court Houses not as "sacred " as the Capitol building ?

    Reckless rhetoric is a problem with out leaders . Why is only Trump singled out for punishment ? Democrats who condemn Trump for using strong language and equate it with incitement, despite having their own record of inflammatory rhetoric are throwing stones in glass houses.

    All the evidence being gathered by prosecutors suggest that the riot was pre-planned .

    Capitol Attack Was Planned Openly Online For Weeks—Police Still Weren’t Ready (forbes.com)

    If so then that belies the charge that inflammatory rhetoric at the rally caused the riot . Still accusations of incitement are becoming the establishment’s tool of choice to justify new censorship.

    It's not a matter of a quote here and there because you don't have a quote here and there. You don't have anything other than a meaningless plea to listen to television and examine a pattern of behavior. But if it's a pattern of behavior, then it's a pattern of speech, and speech can be quoted. So you end up back where we started.

    Your reasoning basically just comes down to saying that DT is guilty because you say he is. Evidence is not needed. All that is needed is just some vacuous allegation that there is a mysterious pattern of behavior out there that amounts to a crime. I hope our system of justice is not heading in that direction.

    Since you like watching TV so much, here is something for your consideration.

    Why is John Roberts not sitting there to preside over the impeachment trial? That's a Constitutional requirement. Why is it not being followed?

    Because as president of the United States he incited his armed supporters to march on the Capitol while Congress was in session and demand they overturn the presidential election on November 3 so Trump could remain in power. They failed but not before they caused the deaths of 5 people and hundreds injured defending Congress. Is that enough for you?

    For you and your hopeless echo who require quotes, you're like the guy who wakes up in the morning, sees snow on the ground, and demands someone first say there's snow on the ground before he believes the evidence of his eyes.

    Except, of course, that he didn't. Kind of important to remember.

    before he believes the evidence of his eyes.
    There's that little word again. "Evidence". It's what you don't have. Come up with some, and then come back and talk about it. You saying it happened is not evidence.

    Found this on another site concerning the Chief Justice's absence.

    "Another part of the Constitution says the Chief Justice SHALL preside at any impeachment trial of a President. That Roberts has declined to do so is because Trump no longer is President and cannot be removed from an office he doesn’t hold. This, to me, necessarily implies that Roberts believes the Impeachment remedies are no longer available after a term of office expires."

    If you are referring to the many riots "sponsored" by BLM, Antifa, and others, then I agree with you. Riots, I might add, which were greeted by approving silence by the leaders of the dem party. That would include the Antifa occupation zone in Portland which has gone on for months and, so far as I can find out, is STILL ongoing.

    Always claims of evidence except they seem unable to post any. Proving that things happened on 1/6 is a long ways from demonstrating that Trump was responsible for it.

    There's been more than enough proof the last two days during the trial. The evidence covers the months before and after January 6. Two days worth of testimony and actual videos of the months involved cannot be posted on this format because it is many hours in length. It cannot be wrapped neatly in a quote to suit you. You know that but you keep at it anyway.

    If you're serious about seeing the proof, then watch the trial. It will go on until Saturday. If you're not willing to educate yourself on the facts, then please stop bothering us.

    Friday and Saturday will be Trump's defense. Don't miss that part to see two half-assed lawyer incompetents. Trump couldn't get a decent defense team because no law firm wants to deal with a deadbeat.

    Evidence that the dufus knew there was a great potential for violence and mayhem, and stoked it for all it was worth to disrupt the work of the congress, as his date for the rally was the same day. He also knew the permit for the rally was specific for a certain area, not the capitol building yet he sent the hoard there any way.

    Through the mayhem did he lift a finger to help the cops and ensure the safety of elected officials family and staff? No he did not. WHY? In addition audio of the cops calling for help for rioting went unheeded. WHY?

    His role in this was huge without a doubt, from the set up around the big lie of fraud to the staging and outcome.

    Good video overall . Whether there was fraud in the election results is not a
    lie as the narrator suggests .It is conjecture and opinion . Neither side has proven their case definitively and even if they do ;a lie is intentional . Both sides of the issue believe they are right .

    Trump said in his speech that the march toward the Capitol should be done peacefully. That fact has been ignored in 2 days of impeachment by the House prosecutors . I wonder why ?

    They have also been hinting that the President is our Commander in Chief as if he has authority to command anything more than the armed services of the US . The leaders of the riot have been arrested and charged . Trump did not command them to attack the Capitol . Trump's use of the word 'fight ' is common political rhetoric and I'm sure with not too much effort I could find many examples of political leaders using it . When they use it are they also leaders of a cult ?

    The video concludes that the attack on the Capitol is the "beginning " of a new era of violence as a political tool in the US . That completely ignores the fact that for the past year BLM/Antifa have been using violence effectively as a political tool to influence their political causes . They have been given rhetorical legitimacy by MANY in the ranks of the Democrats .They have essentially been the militia wing of the Democratic Party .

    I would also point out that June 14 ,2017 ,a Bernie Sanders supporter attacked a group of Republican members of Congress who were practicing for a baseball game . He shot Rep Steve Scalise and others . Overall 5 people were injured before the shooter was shot and killed .

    Rep Gabby Gifford was shot in the head and critically wounded by a deranged and mentally disturbed political independent in 2011.

    In the 1960s and 1970s violence was used repeatedly by the left in opposition to the Vietnam war . Violence was used as a tool in the civil rights struggles in this country by both sides of the issue.

    The raw truth is that violence has historically been a political tool used in this country for both good and bad causes . John Brown was a violent leaders in the pre civil war days as a strident abolitionist . All he did was take part in 'Bloody Kansas ' when the issue was if Kansas would enter the union as a free or slave state. He went on to attack a Federal armory in an attempt to foment a slave revolt.
    So the idea that political violence began in the Trump era is absurd .

    Then provide several quotes.

    If you're serious about seeing the proof, then watch the trial. It will go on until Saturday. If you're not willing to educate yourself on the facts, then please stop bothering us.
    It's what people say when they have no evidence. "Don't bother me by asking for evidence."

    Don't miss that part to see two half-assed lawyer incompetents.
    At least you're not biased.
