    Trump prepares to deliver the same old tired and exposed lies as Republican Senators are about to be put on record, just as more news of the extent of planning and coordination that went into the failed coup is revealed.

     

    Whatever happened to the ‘Grand Old Party’?!

     

    Pre planed and coordinated, incited by Trump's speech on the day. ????

    If that view is based on fiction, then it is. Trump didn't get impeached for nothing.

     

    That is your opinion. I disagree, as do plenty of others. 

     

    However, your assertion that the "law and order" crowd, so against "defunding" the police, now want to ignore law and order. Is just false in regard to those who broke the law. 

     

    I have seen no one arguing that they should not be dealt with appropriately according to the law,.

     

    By all means show some evidence of what you are saying, if you have any.

    You must have missed this article.  Seems Biden's plan was better than Trump's.  Who would have guessed? :cheesy:

    Economic Forecast: Biden Plan Will Create 7 Million More Jobs Than Trump

     

    Moody’s Analytics, an economic-research firm, has published an economic forecast weighing the effects of Joe Biden and Donald Trump’s proposals. It finds Biden’s plan would produce dramatically faster job growth and higher wages for most workers.

    Biden’s proposals would lead to 18.6 million new jobs during his first term, and the average American’s income (after taxes) would increase by $4,800. Trump’s policies would lead to an increase of 11.2 million new jobs by 2025, with minimal real income gain for average households.

     

    Well let's hope their predictions are more accurate than 4 years ago.  :cheesy:

     

    Trump’s policies would cause ‘lengthy recession’: Moody’s

     

    https://www.cnbc.com/2016/06/21/trumps-policies-would-cause-lengthy-recession-moodys.html

     

    “During Mr. Trump’s presidency, the average American household’s after-inflation income will stagnate, and stock prices and real house values will decline.”

     

    Moody’s estimates that the recession from Trump’s proposals would run from 2018 into 2020, during which time GDP would fall 2.4 percent, or more than the decline during the Great Recession, while the jobless rate would peak at 7.4 percent in 2021

    The IQ & commonsense approach to digesting the media is sadly lacking in the US.

    There is good reason to limit the media to avoid this misinterpretation  of folks who

    unfortunately cannot be trusted to sort the wheat from the chaff

     

    How about having a fair and balanced MSM, the lack thereof is the problem.

    People see their lies and misrepresentation of facts everyday. 

    This is what is driving people to alternatives, some good, some bad.

    Here's a not so anonymous source. The Acting Secretary of Defense:

    "In a statement Wednesday, Acting Secretary of Defense Christopher Miller did not mention working with Trump. He said he "spoke separately with the Vice President [Mike Pence] and with Speaker Pelosi, Leader McConnell, Senator Schumer and Representative Hoyer about the situation at the U.S. Capitol."

    https://www.newsweek.com/fact-check-did-trump-call-national-guard-after-rioters-stormed-capitol-1560186

     

    Seems like Trump would be calling Secretary of the Army Ryan McCarthy.

     

    "Maryland Governor Larry Hogan received a call from Representative Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) from an "undisclosed bunker" to send support but was stalled by the Pentagon.

    ...

    As he continued to mobilize his troops, Hogan waited 90 minutes before getting a call from Secretary of the Army Ryan McCarthy that federal authorization was granted for his National Guard to go to the Capitol. The DCNG is under the president's control, but the commanding authority is delegated to the Secretary of the Army.

     

    "I can't tell you what was going on on the other end, on the decision-making process," Hogan said. "There's been lots of speculation in the media about that, but I'm not privy to what was going on inside the White House or inside the Pentagon."

    The Trump administration had predicted 20 million completed vaccinations by the end of December.

    U.S. vaccinations in 2020 fall far short of target of 20 million people

    Seems like the PLAN fell short of it's target, which was a stretch 20 million in the first 2 weeks.

     

    I am sure Biden wont have such problems, what with his fantastic plan and soft target of 7 million a week over the next 100 days.

    Not random, but not misinformation like yours.

     

    If you are accusing me of posting misinformation, I think you need to back that up.

     

    What part of my post are you calling misinformation?

    Well the Trump administration with allegedly no plan ramped up the numbers from zero to about 900k vaccines a day in just over a month.

     

    Now the "adults" are in charge and Biden has a ''super plan" in place he is committing to increasing all the way up to 1 million a day over 100 days.

     

    Can you imagine how the media would react to such a pathetic commitment from Trump?

    And it was Reuters that reported a story about what Klaim said on NBC. Where does CNN enter into this?

    Biden inheriting nonexistent coronavirus vaccine distribution plan and must start 'from scratch,' sources say

     

    "There is nothing for us to rework. We are going to have to build everything from scratch," one source said.

     

    Another source described the moment that it became clear the Biden administration would have to essentially start from "square one" because there simply was no plan.

    CNN ripped as Biden 'PR shop' after 'scoop' that he inherited no vaccine distribution plan from Trump

     

    CNN is under fire for publishing an anonymously sourced "scoop" that the Biden administration will have to "build everything from scratch" because there was no Trump plan to distribute coronavirus vaccines, when reality tells a far different story.

     

    Biden has called for vaccinating 100 million Americans in the first 100 days of his administration, which would be one million per day. Bloomberg Business data indicates that rate had already been reached as Trump left office.

    This is enough to justify impeachment.

     

    https://edition.cnn.com/2021/01/22/politics/trump-doj-attorney-plan-replace-acting-ag-false-election-claims/index.html

     

    New York Times: Trump and DOJ attorney had plan to replace his acting AG and undo Georgia election result

     

    Justice Department lawyer Jeffrey Clark nearly convinced then-President Donald Trump to remove then-acting Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen and use the Department of Justice to undo Georgia's election results, The New York Times reported Friday.

     

    Clark -- who appealed to the former President's false claims of election fraud -- met with Trump earlier this month and told Rosen following the meeting that the then-President was going to replace him with Clark. Clark would then move to keep Congress from certifying the election results in then-President-elect Joe Biden's favor, according to the paper.

     

    Well I have not read all your links, so forgive me if I am missing something.

     

    But just from what you have posted, it seems obvious to me that if as you say "'Justice Department lawyer Jeffrey Clark nearly convinced then-President Donald Trump to remove then-acting Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen and use the Department of Justice to undo Georgia's election results".

     

    Hardly seems to justify impeachment, having someone fail to convince you do do something?

     

    Don't you think?
