3. So were they showing spirit, faith or love when they peed on the floor?

He's basically admitted that he deliberately staged an attempted coup to try to overturn the legitimate election results, overthrow the government, and have his own vice president assassinated.

Now who's going to hold him accountable? Anyone?

8. Nov. 20, 2020: "What's the downside of humoring him?"

Speaking about President Trump’s and his legal team’s myriad and baseless claims of massive voter fraud, an anonymous senior Republican official offered a rhetorical shrug.

“What is the downside for humoring him for this little bit of time? No one seriously thinks the results will change,” the official said. “He went golfing this weekend. It’s not like he’s plotting how to prevent Joe Biden from taking power on Jan. 20. He’s tweeting about filing some lawsuits, those lawsuits will fail, then he’ll tweet some more about how the election was stolen, and then he’ll leave.”

That Trump isn't already charged is a travesty of justice. Not just him but most certainly him.

12. Wait, so now he's on the side of ANTIFA, BLM and the FBI?

And which one was Ashli Babbit a member of? I'm so confused.
