We will just be endorsing his putting his hand on a Bible and lying. Everybody in DC knows the man is a pathological liar

Lawlessness is clear, if this man takes office.

Congress do your job and hold the Amnesty vote!

I've already called my Senators asking for a vote NO REMOVAL OF THE DISABILTY FOR TRUMP.

it is incontrovertible that he has rendered aid and comfort to convicted insurrectionists such as his pet "hostages" in the dc jail.

nevertheless. there will be no such vote in congress and roberts will continue his own aid and comfort of insurrectionists by allowing trump to take the lord's name in vain on jan 20.

when do you think this speaker will call such a vote? why would he consider it necessary?

the new congress will be sworn in on 3 jan. many of those members, including the speaker, are equally guilty and likewise disqualified by the 14th amendment. they will be sworn in.

You when. There are 2 important dates and the fact that you are asking me says you didn’t actually watch the video.

Necessary? The authority in the video explains that, too. Clue: motive starts with “O”.

If there is a video to discuss, the least you can do is watch it. Yeah, right, it’s “an opinion,” but what quality of an opinion is it when the opinion has no basis in the material provided in the OP?

If you had watched the video, there is something to which you might be able to peg your argument. You chose not to do this, however.

I will always be circumspect when I see your posts. I will be wary of the fact that you appear to be perfectly willing to throw out an opinion based on feelings rather than the discussion material provided in the OP. Or points provided by other posters who have read or listened to the material.
