In a few days, a trial will begin in the Senate of the United States to decide if the former President Donald J. Trump is guilty or not guilty of inciting an insurrection against the country he led for four years. It promises to be spellbinding. Millions will watch as the drama unfolds on national television, but if they would like an indication of what may transpire, they may avail themselves of volume 2 of Winston Churchill’s A History of the English-Speaking Peoples; and it would benefit Mr. Trump and his attorneys to do so.
In 1649, Charles I, King of England,(Snip)was arrested and brought to London under a charge of

In 2021 America, "Lawful Authority" is an oxymoron. We are no longer a "nation of laws," and we have seen that many men and women are indeed above the law, beyond justice, and currently in or influencing power.
The Founding Fathers told us what we must do.

A great example of how these totalitarians will rule us in the future by how they use power when it is not prescribed in the law. The stacking of the SCOUS will be the end of the Bill of Rights.

That's the purpose of this unlawful mess. If they go after and impeach someone that's not in office , that's wealthy , that can fight back, where does that leave you ? The evil people of the world no longer bother to hide their actions and intent. They lie, cheat, steal and worse and they're telling you that you cannot do anything about it.They will crush you.And your family.

I will not watch this trial. The Democrats have silenced Trump and supporters. I am silencing them by turning them off. Message to Zuckerberg, Dorsey, Google, Apple, Amazon: I have the power to turn you off. Consider it done.

Where is the republican member who will stand up a say when/if they take control of the house their first action will be to impeach Biden, Obama, and Clinton and maybe throw in Carter. I know it’s fantasy but hoping anyway.

This is a must watch if you can. The media will only be reporting the things that damage Trump. The truth will have to be seen in real time.

fta: “For if power without law may make laws, may alter fundamental laws of the kingdom I do not know what subject he is in England that can be sure of his life or anything he calls his own.”
Indeed Charles, and in America too.

The fake media will hide all truth and revel in this phony trial and political assassination of this sworn enemy. The media blackout of the truth means Americans must see for themselves what a farce this trial will be. It is irony revealed that the "free press" in America wants not to be free and that they are the prime movers in their own demise. One by one these Constitutional rights will be destroyed with the next being the Right to Bear Arms. The Second Amendment ensures that free people have the ability to put down oppressive government. The First Amendment guarantees the right to criticize government. With these two rights neutralized and over ridden by tyrannical Democrats, America will have no hope against the coming political oppression and the ending of freedoms made law the Bill of Rights.

#1 is correct in his conclusion that "we are no longer a 'nation of laws,' and we have seen that many men and women are indeed above the law, beyond justice, and currently in or influencing power." The Obama Administration was founded on such, largely the legacy of the Clinton Administration. Any previous scandal pales by any comparison. It gave others to see their visions were paltry. It led to the audacity exhibited since by our political class. We demand term limits while we re-elect the same dolts time after time because they are "better" than anyone from that other party.

We're a nation of laws alright. We have enough of them to make anyone a criminal. Our situation is, we are not a nation of justice.

As Ouspensky called history “the history of crime.”
FTA: power without law. The dims were power without law when they fought a war to preserve slavery, when they became le garçons pissoir for the slave interests and now the chinese totalitarians and marxist totalitarians.
Their is only one law for dims: punish your enemies and tale what’s theirs by any means.

At the 'trial' we'll have to know the nature of the rioters arrested. The fact that we haven't heard who has been arrested by the left law enforcement has me believing they weren't Trump supporters. I doubt that Trump incited antifa to riot with his speech, especially since the rioters were planning their attack on social media days before the speech.

As usual, the demosluts blame Trump for what they do. If anyone is causing an insurrection in this country, it's the demosluts and the media.

On the contrary - you MUST watch or record this travesty. Surely it'll be covered by CSPAN. Watch it or record it there. You MUST witness what a sham this will be so you can keep it fresh in your mind as an example of what a trial is NOT and what these lessors will do to YOU and YOUR FAMILY if you dare think other than what The State commands you to think.
