Trump wanted proof of election fraud....so he created it. Well played.

And he can't pardon himself as this is a State crime.

Here's an article on the alt-right attention-seeking economy:

https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/10/busi ... -vine.html

Not only is the infantile attention seeking cringeworthy, but it amounts to a very over-supplied, very low-skilled economic activity.

No matter how many likes such rubbish gets from fellow travellers on Facebook, the outskirts of the economy are not the 'heartland', and learning is not a 'liberal conspiracy'. Years of poisonous propaganda from cable news, tawdry TV shows, fundamentalist churches, science deniers and scumbag politicians have created an entire culture of ardent losers who think the world needs to adapt to them, not vice-versa. This won't be overcome quickly, especially as many refuse to move geographically or develop proper skills as the economy demands.

I recall when Charlottesville riots by white supremacists was debated on Nicks, Trump supporters were absolutely denying Trump had any responsibility for the behaviour of others. Hmmmmm

About the first time you’ve been right and made a sensible contribution. As your link showed we’ve never seen anything like what happened in the Capitol building in Australia.

It’s not that we don’t have enough racist rednecks here and enough from the shallow end of the gene pool but...

Even as they're trying to rid advanced civilisation of his vile stench through a second impeachment, I wonder how many lives the psychopathic loser's pandemic denial and mismanagement have ruined today?

The president as pariah: Trump faces a torrent of retribution over his role in the U.S. Capitol siege

..."He has been banned on social media, shunned by foreign leaders, impeached (again) in the House, threatened with censure by Republicans, deserted by Cabinet members, turned on by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), canceled by his hometown of New York City, dropped by the PGA golf tour and snubbed by New England Patriots Coach Bill Belichick.

And that’s just in the past few days for President Trump, who after ruling Washington for nearly four years through a mix of bullying, intimidation, patronage and a sense that his willingness to spew disinformation would have no consequences is suddenly facing a torrent of retribution from those who long excused his behavior or were too scared or powerless to confront it"....

And that's just the begining. Can't wait till he gets a fair trial and then is jailed for the tem of his (un) natural life. Scum.
