    There sure is plenty of evidence that Jan 6th was orchestrated by Trump and his allies. I don’t know how you can sit there and play did-he-didn’t-he in regards to Trump’s involvement when there’s videos of him egging on his followers during the rally and watching the chaos at the capitol unfold on live television, all while not lifting a finger to prevent it from happening.

    We can be reasonably sure he had involvement, either directly or through one of his cabinet. He should be banned from having his name on ballots across the country. Won’t stop morons from writing his name in anyway, I’d wager.

      That’s what I’m saying though, who decides what is evidence and what isn’t? What was insurrection and what wasn’t?

      There are plenty of (wrong) people who claim the evidence is that Biden “stole” the election. We know that’s not true, but to claim Trump is an insurrectionist, you have to prove that he believed it wasn’t true, that he was not acting, as he believied to be, the rightly elected President.

      This is why we have a court system. It’s not about what is believed to be true, it’s about what can be proven to be true, in court, before a judge.
