This is an excellent, and almost daily, example of the media trying to spin a story or build a narrative while pretending to conduct an interview. 

If you weren't sure whether Trump was right, this should clue you in.

The press is the enemy of the people.  That includes the Progressive, Leftist, Socialist, Elitist, Democrat Liberals.  When the message supports those anti-American ideologies, they are doing us all a great disservice.

Proscribe: -verb-
1: to publish the name of as condemned to death with the property of the condemned forfeited to the state
2: to condemn or forbid as harmful or unlawful : PROHIBIT

Somehow, when you make this kind of error, it's difficult to trust anything else you post as factual.
I read so many comments (and I make a few mistakes of my own)
I blew past that one.  I understood what was meant. Many times some lines later,
I say what did they write?? That can't be correct.  But we don't have built in context
and grammar checkers, just human readers and writers.

I often copy the exact words of a post to ensure I'm not twisting their comments into something they didn't say.

This time, I noticed my inclusion was "prescribed" which didn't match his "proscribed."  That flagged it.  I know what both words mean, so I drew attention to his error. 

If nothing else, I might stop someone from using the wrong word based on their assumption of its meaning.

That's alright, you're acquitted too!

The prescribed process is to at least have evidence a crime was committed.

Guess you missed that part of the process where EVERY OTHER HOUSE held hearings before deciding on the crimes to list in the Articles of Impeachment.

These clowns once again decided on the crime, then expected the Senate to discover the evidence from the mountain of crap the managers presented.

The impeachment was illegitimate on its face.  Fastest impeachment in US history, and it was another failure.  How many times before you see that the Dems are abusing their Constitutional powers for purely political theatrics and at the expense of the entire nation?  Neither trial had anything to do with an actual crime.  Hell, the first Articles didn't even bother to list a crime -- just "Abuse of power".  So ambiguous and broad, proving it was impossible.

Now they settled on "Incitement of Insurgency."  No witnesses to even bolster their claims that impeaching Trump out of office was even Constitutional.  A Senate vote where 47 disagreed it's legitimate at all is not an endorsement.  The legitimacy is still not settled, but the Dems managed to shove it through a vote.

Facts are not decided on by majority votes in the Senate.  Votes only tally the Yeas and Nays of a bunch of elected politicians who vote more down party lines than they do based on facts.

Illegitimate.  No question in my mind.  The rush to impeach, the lack of witnesses -- expert or fact witnesses -- and the Dems using fake news as sources for "evidence" tells me this was a railroad job.  The witch hunt to "get Trump" continues.

They don't have to prove a crime occurred though.

People have been impeached for non-criminal offenses before. If Congress so decides that a president's behavior is reprehensible enough, they can impeach him whether the behavior is criminal in nature or not. It is all a political question.

What is most significant about the impeachment is that a significant number of republicans crossed the aisle and also voted against Trump.

"Claim" is an affirmative action, moron.

It's a verb that requires one to state an accusation or belief that something is true or not.

Nothing neutral about that.

Please cite whatever proof you have I'm wrong.  Otherwise, you're just trolling.

In binary terms, something is true or false.  Claiming something is true is affirming the positive.  Claiming something is false is affirming the negative.

The only way claim is neutral is if one claims something is neither true nor false (undecided).  That's not the case in context of the facts.

Aim of Impeachment Was to Paint All Trump Voters as Criminals

Rep. Mike Johnson (R-La.) says Democrats used the impeachment of former President Donald Trump as a tool to paint all of his supporters with the brush of Capitol breach-related criminality.

Johnson told Breitbart News in an interview on Feb. 14 that the ultimate aim of impeaching Trump a second time was to associate the 75 million Americans who voted for him with those individuals who on Jan. 6 broke the law.

“They really wanted to use impeachment as a vehicle because they wanted to equate all those tens of millions of Trump’s voters and all of his supporters and everybody who came to the rally, they wanted to equate all of those people with the couple hundred criminals who came in and ransacked the Capitol,” Johnson told the outlet.

and if you thought the impeachment was the end of all this shenigans

https://www.theepochtimes.com/pelosi-announces-independent-9-11-style-commission-to-investigate-capitol-riot_3697747.html?utm_source=newsnoe&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=breaking-2021-02-15-4

“It is clear from his findings and from the impeachment trial that we must get to the truth of how this happened,” she said in a statement on Monday. “To protect our security, our security, our security, our next step will be to establish an outside, independent 9/11-type Commission to ‘investigate and report on the facts and causes'” of the breach.

In a letter to her Democratic colleagues, Pelosi said the House will also put forth supplemental spending to boost security at the Capitol. Previously, she asked retired Army Lt. Gen. Russel Honoré to lead a review of the Capitol’s security processes.

She added, “As we prepare for the Commission, it is also clear from General Honoré’s interim reporting that we must put forth a supplemental appropriation to provide for the safety of Members and the security of the Capitol.”

The statement comes after Trump was acquitted in the Senate after the House impeached him for allegedly inciting violence at the Capitol. Trump, for his part, told supporters on Jan. 6 to protest “peacefully and patriotically,” while his lawyers argued that his comments to demonstrators were protected under the First Amendment.

meanwhile no investigations into US cities administrations that allowed riots and looting to take place

Perfect.  Use the Stop-Jack when you know you're wrong.

No sources to back you up, so you pretend you won.
