Trump is giving congress the stupidest litmus test on a functioning democracy in real time, and because he's still running free we have failed it so fucking hard. ARREST THE MOTHERFUCKER.
I think the most shocking thing about Jan. 6 is how easily it happened—that the GOP enabled this at all levels of American politics, and now how they show open disdain for the US Constitution and it’s values. >

Our entire system had basically been running on the honor system for at least 150 years. Sure there were major problems under the surface (and goodness help you if you weren't a straight white male) but it basically functioned because everyone just agreed it should function. We now have a large portion of both the population and the political leadership who don't want it to function anymore. You can't have an honor system without honorable people. >

“‘Among the recommendations is that congressional committees with such authority consider creating a ‘formal mechanism for evaluating whether to bar’ Trump from holding future federal office due to evidence that he violated his constitutional oath to support the U.S. Constitution while engaging in an insurrection.”
“The first chapter of the report is titled ‘The Big Lie,’ a reference to Trump’s repeated false claims that he had won the election. That chapter notes that Trump made efforts even before the election to “delegitimize the election process” by suggesting it would be marred by ballot fraud.”
“The second chapter, titled ‘I Just Want to Find 11,780 Votes,’ details Trump’s attempt to subvert the Electoral College, the body that actually chooses the winner of presidential elections on the basis of candidates’ popular vote victories in individual states, and portions of two states.”
“The title refers to what Trump said to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger in a Jan. 2, 2021, phone call, during which Trump pressured him to take steps that would invalidate Biden’s popular victory in that state.”
“The next chapters outline how Trump and his allies aimed to get alternate slates of electors for him presented to Congress over the actual slates that Biden won, their efforts to get the Department of Justice to cast doubt on the integrity of the election, and to convince then-Vice President Mike Pence to refuse to certify several states’ Electoral College slates.”
“The panel also said courts and bar disciplinary bodies that regulate conduct by lawyers ‘should continue to evaluate the conduct of attorneys described in this Report.’”
‘“Attorneys should not have the discretion to use their law licenses to undermine the constitutional and statutory process for peace-fully transferring power in our government,’ the report says.”
“In a recommendation titled ‘Violent Extremism,’ report says that, ’Federal Agencies with intelligence and security missions, including the Secret Service, should ... move forward on whole-of-government strategies to combat the threat of violent activity posed by all extremist groups, including white nationalist groups and violent anti-government groups while respecting the civil rights and First Amendment civil liberties of all citizens.’” >

At least they put in the work to get the truth out. This is a big investigation that will likely be studied for ages. History will tell. >

we are almost at the 2 year mark and i loved to hear the truth, it was disgusting to see all of these politicians do whatever they want, with no care, but even after these extensive investigations, i have no proof, violence was incited by Donald J. Trump. >

I'm sorry but I would argue they do. If he didn't all out say "kill people", there was a series of coordinated actions that all culminated on that day. After all that buildup, all the actions taken before that day, all ended with supporters storming the Capitol. To which he had no interest in stopping, and was mad when people told him he needed to do something.
History is not going to look kindly on how he behaved right after the election to present. (regardless of how one feels about his performance up until then) >

The FBI was well aware of the planned group, that was going to go attend, and be violent, those coordinated attacks happened, and caused violence, yet the capital was olny enforced with basic measures, for Trumps speech. >

Oh my bad, the FBI? Well then yeah Trump is innocent. Whoops. What a misunderstanding on my part.
Edit . Sorry that came off way more passive aggressive than it needed to. But I'm sure Trump and crew were well aware of the same info the FBI had. 
"Sir, Roger Stone had dinner with the proud boys last night and they said they're ready to be violent" >

to completely disregard my statement, and to put words in my mouth, i didn't say trump was innocent, trump had a huge delay in his response, and his friends in the White House, had delayed all responses, for help, and caused the scene as we know today, Jan 6. >

Look up the Beer Hall Putsch. Hitler got off only one year after being sentenced.
Seems familiar huh? What with January 6 and all?
"Those who don't know history are doomed to repeat it." >

This is such an idiotic comparison. 
You’re comparing a 34-year old Hitler who had his entire political future ahead of him to an almost 78-year old spoiled man child. 
The Beer Hall Putsch was in 1923–10 entire years before Hitler even took total power. Trump had his “power” already and the people already turned that leaf over in 2020. There’s a much higher chance that Trump doesn’t even make it to see 5 years from now let alone 10. 
And you have to consider the circumstances around Hitler as well. It wasn’t entirely him—Germany was emerging from a World War that pretty much stripped them of everything and pushed them into a hyperinflation period and in that same period was forced to repay their debts to other countries because of the treaties they signed. They were essentially a barebones government to begin with (Weimar) and had no stability whatsoever (they were changing chancellors and prime ministers like games of musical chairs) while also being in the worst global economic period in modern history. They were fighting coup attempts regularly. It’s easier for someone to take over like Hitler did when you have a country that’s just looking for an answer no matter how drastic that answer was. In a situation like that, you can sway a lot more people to believing in your horrific doctrines when none of the other options haven’t done anything of relevancy to get your country out of the worst state it had ever been in in hundreds of years. You essentially have no other option to believe but you just want to be part of a “functional” country again.
The US is in neither of these situations. The institutions that hold up our government have been in place for hundreds of years and stood in place on Jan 6 when they took their test and passed it.
Trump will be 80 years old in 2 years. Nobody will care about him. He’ll just be blabbing it on like a delusional nut case as usual about his failures until he passes. Half his party is already trying to disown him and we’re not even in the 2024 election cycle yet >

Republicans: It's legal when the President does it.
Anyone: Biden? Obama?
R: Not like that. >

The Dems are really good at pointing out Trump’s crimes and Trump is really good at saying “Fuck you” and living his life a free man. >

Yeah. It’s mostly this. We elected a criminal to lead us. We should be ashamed of that. He should be held accountable for his obviously many crimes. And we’re still doing nothing. >

An investigation literally just concluded and charges were recommended. I wouldn't call that nothing. >

I’d temper expectations. He should’ve been held without bail given the severity of his crimes. But that shit is only for the common folk. >

I think the problem is that the emphasis has been on what happened at the Capitol on Jan 6 but most of the worst stuff Trump did that led to it wasn't as explicit. He tried hard to undermine and steal the election and that's what the focus should be on, not just his culpability for people entering a building.
Even if the Capitol hadn't been entered, Trump should still be going down for all of the stuff he did prior to that.
