Trump, Guiliani, Flynn should be arrested immediately for inciting to riot. Rioters should be rounded up and jailed. Congresspeople who insist on questioning the outcome of the election should be censured and, if possible, kicked out of Congress. Hawley and Cruz should resign, now. Today was an insurrection, as Biden called it. Trump knew this would happen and did nothing to dissuade the rioters. He in fact encouraged them and incited them to violence, resulting in destroying part of our Congress building putting our legislators in fear and harm.
One protester was shot dead. And even more importantly, Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick was murdered in the violent uprising. In other authoritarian countries, perpetrators would be rounded up, jailed, and possibly executed. The difference here is the perpetrator is the President of the country. I’m convinced he knew this would happen and may have even been part of the planning. Trump should be arrested as he is a danger to the country. He is an insurrectionist, attempting to overthrow the election, our constitution, and our government.
What more does he have to do to warrant arresting this traitor? Our Congress has been invaded by thugs who were incited to riot by Trump. That is a crime, and no person, including the President, is above the law.
Whatever the outcome of his impeachment trial, Trump and others of his ilk who incited the riot should be charged with either accessory before the fact of murder or felony murder and tried, hopefully convicted, and sent to prison for a long, long time.
You are so right, Stephen. Many questions to be answered about to day’s events. Whether or not enough arrests, resignations, or impeachment occur, our Nation getting through the next 2 weeks will be another test. It was sadly reassuring to hear ex-Intelligence maintain on cable news that at the very least Jan.20, if needed, Trump would certainly be escorted militarily out of the White House.
Inciting people to riot and attack federal buildings and Congressional hearings is a felony. People who attacked the Capitol buildings should be arrrested. Trump , his family and Guiliani should be arrested for encurraging an insurrection as that is treason according to the constitution. This is worse than John Brown as Trump directed it. The President is NOT ABOVE OUR Laws. Trump should be removed from office as being unfit to run our country and he is dangerous.
Well said. Thanks for commenting.
Unless Trump and the people in congress are arrested for this crime against Democracy we will only go further into destruction of our Democratic Union.
And those arrests should swift and their sentences severe. Thanks for commenting.
Cruz and Hawley fomented the flames of lies and baseless claims of voter fraud that even Trump-appointed judges rejected over and over. Those lies incited the terrorists to action. Remove Cruz and Hawley from office if they won’t resign. Trump, his family, and Giuliani made a call to war. Giuliani literally called for “trial by combat.” Arrest them for treason. Lock them up.
Lock them up, is right. For a long, long time. This was an insurrection. Justice needs to be swift and consequences severe. Thanks so much for commenting.
