I like what you're saying. America is too much about being number one in the world when Washington doesn't want to admit it's about being on top as the super-power empire it is. And number two has to be there when number one falters.

Trump isn't being silenced. He can still make public speeches. He can call reporters for a press conference. He can talk in front of congress to defend himself. Legitimate news sources will still put out stories about him. So will celebrity publishers. Trump is silencing himself because he lost more than the election, he lost his attempt at a political take-over.

Lee Kh: Focusing just on that one day isn't good enough. Trump was calling for sedition at all of his rallies, and his disregard for the lives of Americans as ignoring the pandemic for them as he kept his distance is part of those super-spreader events.

Um, according to the Fifth Amendment the defendant has a right not to testify. Have you seen any Democrat suggest forcing him to testify, or did they just "invite" him as a way of showing the public that he's a liar and his lawyers know it? Can I get a witness?

@ConvictedFelon2024 : I'm happy for you if your life has always followed the laws and the laws around you were enforced by the book and the righteousness of their intent. However, it is only human nature to think someone who won't talk to defend themself has something to hide. I suggest watching the first season of "Matlock" to get into that. It should be on sale by now.

@ConvictedFelon2024 : The laws were created to govern human nature. They both exist whether you like it or not. Your legal system does have a big problem. Defense lawyers aren't court employees. They can do anything they want to get their clients off or find a fix, and that's not justice.

@ConvictedFelon2024 : If defense lawyers were employees of the court they would have to submit all of their evidence to the court pretrial, not hold it back to protect their client or do something make it go away. That's how it works in Canada and England.

I'm sorry to see you think your political life in America is pointless and political theater. Tell that to suffering people around the world in countries America attacked for their wealth.
