This issue is going through the courts, od. We all want him off the ballot and out of the lives of this country's population. But when it gets to the US Supreme Court, their decision may not go that way.
I actually respect your calls for fairness and an accurate determination of the law in Donald Trump's various criminal cases. I second that. Even though that based on all of the evidence that we have all already seen, it is a slam-dunk, forgone conclusion that he's guilty in all of them, it still needs to be determined in court. I do understand where you are coming from as far as that goes. I have no issue with that.
I just wish that you could extend that same consideration to Joe Biden. There has not even been a legitimate accusation or indictment of a single crime that the GOP can hang on him. They haven't even found any charges to charge him with yet. It's just that, as far as expressing opinions of guilt in his direction, I just wish that you could, you know... not be such a flaming bald-faced hypocrite about it.
There are mountains of blatant evidence, legal charges, and actual felony indictments against Trump. But you wish to withhold your opinions as to his guilt. Sure. Fine. If that's how you want to play it.
But there is no evidence or any legal charges of any crime against Joe Biden at all. And yet your opinions as to his guilt for crimes are... let's just say, not held so closely to your chest. There is ample talk of the "Biden crime family" that you seem happy to engage in with your unfettered opinion.
Biden is guilty in your mind already. And you have held no compunctions about voicing such an opinion, without any trials or hearings or without anyone even discovering any specific crimes to accuse him of yet!
But Trump? Oh my goodness! Opinions about his guilt must be withheld until the very last guilty verdict drops. Innocent until proven guilty and all that you know.
I predict that even after the asinine circus hearings that the GOMP is putting up the tents for, they still won't have concocted a single law that was broken by Joe Biden. It's all about just making him look bad just before the elections. They just want to get up in public and talkshit and cast baseless aspersions at him.
What's really going to be entertaining about those hearings is how at every mention of something bad that they think Biden did, the Democrats there will be presenting examples of similar crimes that Trump has actually committed and there is evidence for that are 100 times worse than anything they want to pretend that Biden did.
The Republicans are going to be handed many more lunches than they can eat. That's for sure. They shall all have the cleanest clocks in town.

Where is being charged with the insurrection? I'll take any of the offshoots of "insurrection." Sedition, etc.

"Where is [he] being charged with the insurrection?" -olde dude
insurrection [ in-suh-rek-shuhn ]
noun
1. an act or instance of rising in revolt, rebellion, or resistance against civil authority or an established government.
"Not that it's relevant to your discussion here,
olde dude, but don't worry about that part. I got it.
Nothing in the Fourteenth Amendment specifies a
charge or conviction for the specific crime of
insurrection to be kept from holding public office.
Just that there was engagement in what could be
defined as insurrection. Glad I could help."
