Trump’s legal team also tried to throw cold water on the idea in a filing earlier this week, writing that the “events of January 6 were not an ‘insurrection’ as they did not involve an organized attempt to overthrow or resist the U.S. government.”

Trump disagrees, apparently.

“They kept saying about what I said right after the insurrection,” he said outside Mar-a-Lago after arguments concluded in Washington, D.C. “I think it was an insurrection caused by Nancy Pelosi.

    We should, because it’s the brain that has to beat Trump. We don’t have any better options, unfortunately.

      Sounds like y’all need to start over if this is the pinnacle of 250 years of political evolution.

      Maybe he decides to step down. I think the people are pretty well set on voting either Trump or [person against Trump]

        Nah, I don’t think Harris has the charisma to rally the party. Biden needs to survive the election, and then he can step down after beating Trump if needed.

        Don’t get me wrong, I will vote for just about anybody over Trump, but I think it’s going to be a close race.

          party has no choice but to rally itself under current circumstances.

            Everyone rally around the genocide, record oil extraction and arming of the border! Congratulations you saved America from Trump! Lol.

      I know this is nothing remotely new, but I feel like it’s justified to keep repeating it:

      US elections is a shitshow.

        Apologies for being that guy, but just a FYI, only because you keep repeating it, it should be US elections are a shitshow, not ‘is’.

          Honestly, that’s quite intriguing to me. I had originally written “politics” but decided to change it. Would that make a difference, or would it still be “are”? Also, I find it abit strange to use “[plural noun] are a [singular noun]”, but maybe this is just me repeating it too much, making it sound weird.
