I dispute it because...


...it simply didn't happen. You talk about the Ukraine call as being corrupt or impeachable. IMO, it was nothing of the sort. The entire transcript is available, and it exonerates Trump completely. And, as an aside, Biden bragged on video about doing exactly the same thing that you accuse Trump of trying to do. Why aren't you calling for his impeachment?

As for the transition of power, that occurred -- on time and in exactly the manner as proscribed by the Constitution. You attribute the Capitol incursions to Trump's incitement, but that's provably false.

First, the incursions were planned before and occurred during Trump's speech. It's obvious that the protests were infiltrated by BLM/Antifa types who instigated trouble. This does not in any way absolve those on the right who broke the law, but the entire event was made worse by a false-flag op carried out by the left. Clearly, Trump is not responsible for that.

Second, many of the folks who entered the Capitol were let in by police and essentially escorted around the premises -- this is literally on videotape. None of those who entered were armed as far as I know. That's not an insurrection.

Third, Trump said nothing insurrectionary and specifically called for people to protest peacefully and patriotically. You're free to interpret his words differently, but you have to go against the plain text of his speech to do so.

I think I'm on firm ground in my beliefs.
