I did. It's political propaganda.
Wow!! The brief is political propaganda. So I ask what were Trump's hysterical accusations since the Election that it was fraudulent!? Which were unmitigated lies. Or how about his repeated statements before the Election that if he lost it could only be due to fraud. (Need I remind you that in 2016 Trump was alleging he could only lose if their was fraud, and afterwards he claimed Hillary got 3 million fraudulent votes. Note - An investigation set up by Trump to find the fraud found zip. Isn't this lying political propaganda?
The speech Trump gave is also available to the public. If you could bring yourself to listen to it, you'd understand why Democrats will lose this attempt to disqualify Trump from office.
The Democrats will almost certainly lose the Impeachment trial because many of the Republican Senators are gutless and spineless. Remember what Trump said years ago about what would happen if he murdered someone in public?
I have listened to the speech and read it. There is plenty of incitement in it along with out and out lies. Trump repeats over and over again about the election being fraudulent, stolen etc. Which is of course utter nonsense. Of course Trump includes some phrases / words to give himself plausible deniability, or so he thinks. But to me it is damn obvious that Trump was whipping up the crowd and very clearly the intent of the march on the Capital and pressure Pence to violate the law. Oh and isn't it just amazing that so many of the Capital rioters are saying that they thought they were doing what Trump wanted them too.
The speech fits the classic pattern of incitement combined with a threadbare attempt at plausible deniability. Demagogues having been using similar rhetorical strategies for thousands of years.
Yep, I've seen speeches before. Seemed normal to me.
Lets see a speech in which the audience afterwards tried to storm a building to disrupt the normal transfer of political power after an Election is not "normal", especially when the speech is full of lies about a stolen Election and the speaker after telling them that their country is going to be taken from them says that they must march on the Capital to pressure the VP and others to disregard the law. It is perfectly obvious what Trump was doing and the speech was not 'normal". If you think this is a "normal" speech - whatever?!
Yep, this is not a court case because President Trump has committed no crime. Looks to me that the FBI is arresting those who broke into the Capitol building. Trump doesn't appear to be in custody.
So what. The fact that Trump is cowardly leaving is followers to twist in the wind says little for him. They thought they were doing what he wanted. Trump did of course say he would march with them. He did not. He left them to again - twist in the wind.
Yep not a court case. It's all about the evidence; the evidence is clear that Trump never incited riots during his speech, only a peaceful march and protest. Anything else is propaganda.
Hilarious. If Trump didn't incite a riot it needs to be explained why one happened right after he gave a speech and told them to march on the Capital. And of course this ignores context. In this case the context of Trump lying for months about a stolen Election, of him trying to pressure officials to disregard the actual results. Of him lending no support or concern to Republican officials getting death threats, but instead attacking them further. And so on and so forth.
This ignores his behavior once the riot started where he did nothing for hours but instead persisted in his attempts to have the Election results overturned, delayed etc. All of which indicates Trump had little problem with what was going on.
And has of right now Trump continues to push the Propaganda lie that the Election was stolen.
Trump is a practitioner of the outrageous propaganda lie. Stalin, Mao and Hitler would be proud.
Actually Trump needs to cure himself of his habit of telling insane barefaced lies. I wonder if Trump has a psychological disorder that he needs to be healed from?
