Walker570 Posted February 13, 2021 Report Share Posted February 13, 2021 Let us hope that the swamp can get back to what they are paid for, runing the economy of the USA, but don't hold your breath as they are already destroying jobs left right and centre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob85 Posted February 13, 2021 Report Share Posted February 13, 2021 It wouldn't have mattered if trump personally led the charge up the steps and took a dump in Pelosi's handbag, the republicans still wouldn't have turned on him incase they have to accept liability for supporting his actions.

Oh he did that thing that caused that other thing to happen. On top of the thing he didn't do that caused the other thing not to happen. That was unforgiveable. I don't think it's possible to say the world was less safe with him at the helm. More safe? No. But less safe? Not unless you're in a specific area. The Palestinians won't feel more safe in the wake of the hideously one sided middle east agreement Trump cooked up. I don't think Iran is any more or less of a threat, despite his sanctions. Interestingly, Biden's said he won't return the US to the Pre-Trump nuclear deal and lift sanctions until Iran scale back their nuclear development. I'm no Trump fan; I'm glad he's gone, but most of my criticisms of him are about the character of the man and his domestic policy. Mostly abroad, he's just been a non event. Nothing's particularly worse, nothing's particularly better. ANYWAY. Right decision by the Senate. The evidence wasn't there. You can't convict someone of incitement to insurrection based on what a comparatively few idiots decide to read into his words. I think they were going to do it regardless of what Trump said anyway. Could he have diffused the situation? Probably. That's not the same as causing it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly but if you wind up people for weeks stolen election etc, then organise thousands to protest and instruct them to march and stop the fraud, any idiot would know their would be trouble, including Trump.

Dave-G Posted February 14, 2021 Report Share Posted February 14, 2021 It was always simple enough for me - evidence is evidence - lack of it isn't. If there was any, poison Pelosi would have been sure to post it, now she's shown up for being such a nasty piece of work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fisheruk Posted February 14, 2021 Report Share Posted February 14, 2021 He certainly is a Marmite type of person. I personally like Marmite! Interestingly all of my friends in the USA voted for him, and 70m people can’t be that wrong. In the UK we don’t get the full picture, most of the UK reporters are so biased against Trump and have been ever since he started out on that Presidential path.
