      1. Trump was the government at the time.

      2. He didn’t rise to squat - there was literally nothing above him to “rise” against.

      3. See no.1

      No insurrection to see here, Clyde.

          And what he and his people rose up against

          Lol! Hey, if you are really desperate to pretend that Trump is some kind of “underdog” “rebelling” against the establishment, be my guest.

          Trump and his ilk is the establishment - there is absolutely nothing for them to “insurrect” against. Hasn’t been in the US since a pack of rich slavers decided to pretend to be revolutionaries.

            I am not pretending any such thing. And, again, the court literally found that he was responsible for an insurrection. Why is the court wrong? Because if it’s wrong, Trump should be on the ballot in Colorado. Is that what you believe?

              This you?

              And what he and his people rose up against was the certification of Joe Biden’s electoral win.

              Zig-zagging sideways does not conflate to up.

              Because if it’s wrong, Trump should be on the ballot in Colorado.

              Is that what you are really worried about? A rich white supremacist trust-fund baby sicced a white lynch mob on people in the US in front of the world’s cameras, got away with it scott-free and you think your problems only extends to said white supremacist trust-fund baby ending up in the Waffle House again?

              I’d say you might want to start worrying about the factors that enabled him to be there in the first place.

                You still have not explained why the Colorado ruling that he fomented insurrection is wrong. It’s sort of looking like you aren’t able to. I’m guessing it’s because you aren’t a legal expert.

                    I will be surprised if I get a response to that, to be honest.

                  Are you placing your trust in the same institutions that are trying to convict the people protesting Pig City on racketeering and terrorism charges?

                  Or is your mind so thoroughly gouged by liberal brain-rot that fascism becomes perfectly acceptable to you as long as it’s approved by the people “higher up” than you?

                  Do tell… are white lynch mobs technically illegal in the country that enshrines slavery in it’s constitution?

                    You still have not explained why the Colorado ruling is wrong. “Other rulings were wrong” doesn’t explain while this ruling is wrong.

                    Again, I think the answer is you aren’t a legal expert despite acting like you are.

                    Are you trusting the same gas(oxygen) that caused an extinction event and is known to kill people when exposed to fire??

                    what are you? stupid?

        I’m sorry, did people break into the Whitehouse or Congress? He’s the Executive, not the entire government.
