Robert Ariail for January 31, 2021

Why not. If you teach them they can get away with Sedition, THEN what will they do?

Well then I guess we should just let traitors go without facing any consequences for the sake of “unity”. /s

They hang traitors, don’t they.

Accountability is NOT crucifiction.

Impeachment, even with conviction, is only a small measure of accountability and justice.

.

Especially for Treason.

#TraitorTrump

It’s not the Democrats who portraying Trump as a martyr; it’s the Republicans.

All of Trump’s lawyers have left. He demanded that they argue that he really won the election, that there was massive fraud. Trump may have to represent himself if this continues….

Oh, Bob, you “nailed” it.

If ever there were a Christlike figure, it’s trump!

/s

I guess inciting insurrection should be ignored for the sake of “unity”. And T-p is nothing like Jesus.

Aw, let’s just leave him hanging there. Works for me.

He deserves every little bit that’s coming to him, the traitor.

This is blasphemy, if Bob claims to be a Christian at least. To compare the thief, rapist, liar, coward, abuser, murder-encourager, name-calling seditionist to the embodiment of self-giving love is the epitome of … wrong.

Shouldn’t that be a “T” — a “trumpcated” cross?

“Unity” is a dirty word, when used in this context.

Always the victim. The man who incited an insurrection pictured as a victim. Unbelievable.

On a Getting It Right Scale of 1-100, Robby scores a 3 on this one.

A bit of Roman history:

" … crucifixion was seen as an extremely shameful way to die, Rome tended not to crucify its own citizens. Instead, slaves, disgraced soldiers, Christians, foreigners, and — in particular — political activists often lost their lives in this way …"

✄

" … The practice became especially popular in the Roman-occupied Holy Land. In 4 B.C., the Roman general Varus crucified 2,000 Jews, and there were mass crucifixions during the first century A.D., according to the Roman-Jewish historian Josephus. “Christ was crucified on the pretext that he instigated rebellion against Rome, on a par with zealots and other political activists,” the authors wrote in the report. …"

Have some respect. He’s a former president. Use upper-case.

Trump is not a martyr and the Ariail’s implication that even Biden thinks he is is a grotesque twisting of reality. Trump is like the psychopathic child who kills his parents and then throws himself on the mercy of the court with the claim that he’s an orphan. At some point, intelligent, educated, experienced, rational patriots will need to stand up to the lunatics, e.g., Greene, and end their venal, mendacious, arrogant, vicious threats to our republic and our democracy. We have a duty to our posterity to point out that Greene, Trump, et al. are the political equivalent of rabid dogs menacing our cowering and cringing society. In medical terms, we must amputate and cauterize to save the body politic. These rabid political dogs must be put down legally, i.e, investigated, indicted, prosecuted, tried, found guilty by a jury of their peers, sentenced, and imprisoned, where they must rot for as many years as God affords them.

The Republican party that preaches personal responsibility takes none for themselves.

The hell it’s not!

I believe the republikans are right. If you punish one guy, you’d have to punish all the guilty. (Rich white guys)

Exception being, those idiots who laid siege to the Capital, let’s lock them up, cause they’re not elected idiots, are they?

All of idiot Trump’s lawyers quit. They can’t support ‘the election was stolen’ lie the obviously insane Trump is still spewing.

What are the Republicans doing to create unity? They could start by disavowing Trump permanently, voting to convict in the Senate, acknowledging that all that about the rigged and stolen election was a lie, and throwing Marjorie Taylor Greene out of Congress. In other words, they could help to create unity by recognizing reality. I’m not holding my breath.

Easter is right around the corner.. he will rise again.. (and heaven help us)

Strap him to a gurney!

It’s truly time for you to hang up your pens, Mr. Arial, you’ve completely lost perspective and any mind, morals, and ethics you might once have had.

LIKE HELL IT ISN’T!!!

The Democrats have always let the Republicans get away with the dubiously legal crap they pull when in office. This is possible because the Republicans cooperate by attempting to cover it up first. Once the Democrats are back in power, they have to try to accomplish something before they lose that power, and they have to try to get along with the Republicans who are still in congress in order to do that. And, the Democrats realize that showcasing governmental misconduct does not inspire confidence in our country, either from American voters or from the world as a whole.

Trump and his supporters are a whole different situation. First, there is nothing remotely dubious about whether their activities are illegal. Second, Trump not only didn’t attempt to cover them up, he announced them- on television, on tape. Of course, they probably are covering some things up, which is mind boggling, since what Trump brags about is beyond awful.

At any rate, the Democrats are put in the position of being unable to ignore the Republican’s illegal activities. If they do, they align themselves with the “go along to get along” crowd. That undermines any remaining confidence in our entire government, and creates a situation is much worse for our country than the results of letting those who are responsible for the mess we are currently in get what they deserve.

He is the farthest thing from Jesus there is

Churchill quote – “Appeasement is like feeding a crocodile and hoping he will eat you last!” Flirting with fascism to let Trumpets off now.

Accountability is in persecution. Trump, Giuliani, Jones, Fancelli, the seditious members of Congress, and everyone who enabled them deserves to be held accountable, in one way or another for attempting the overthrow of the government. This is not politics, it’s treason.

Ignoring the crimes invites the next trump to do the same.

Don’t care.

Enough is enough, Trump is gone, good! He’ll get his due! Now let’s start seeing some of this unity hype that Biden is preaching.

So asking that Trump be held accountable for his crimes is persecution?

But jailing him would help.

Republicans agree with this because they love the idea of continuing getting away with everything bad they do. Can’t hold them accountable for anything!

Oh, for crying out loud. LET TRUMP TESTIFY LIKE HE WANTS BEFORE “HIS SENATE” TRIAL ! The G.O.P. doesn’t want any testimony like last time. Any excuse then will be GONE and they will have to perform as REAL JURORS with the EVIDENCE. . . . . or continue to be the habitual liars for fear of losing TRUMP’S BASE.

It will be a great lesson in Democracy . . . . or Fascism. We’ll see as will the rest of the world.

I don’t agree Robert. Are we going to accept the lowered bar as acceptable now?

Neither does inciting a riot.

Is it just me, or does it appear that only Democrats like cartoons? I rarely see a Republican defend Trump here….I think I know what the Republicans problem is. They don’t read cartoons!

If we don’t hold Trump and his enablers accountable, it will signal a green light to the Republicans. January 6th will be more than a failed coup; it will have been a rehearsal.

Unity with seditionists? No thanks.

Ariail has now joined the ranks of the seditionists that continue to support Trump regardless of his crimes of inciting insurrection and attempting to overturn an election. Kevin McCarthy, “Gym” Jordan, and several others need to be removed for their sedition. Several state-level GOP organizations are censuring anyone that dares stand up to Trump; the Repubs are truly traitors.

“That’s not really helping”…

Yeah, if you nail his hands up, he won’t achieve a proper drop once you attach the rope around his neck to the gallows…

Jesus dies for our sins; 6 died in Washington for Dumpster’s sins…………..not quite the same.

It’s helping Me.

Trump is one of the criminals that was crucified next to Christ.

If it had been a Democrat they would have burned him at the stake.

GOP calls for unity are kinda like a wife-beaters apologies to his wife when she threatens to divorce him (or call the cops). You know that as soon as that crisis passes, the unity will be out the window and the beatings will start again.

Here’s a thought – if the GOP REALLY wants “Unity” they should impeach Trump in the Senate with a vote of 100-0. Show the world that you are done with the bastard, and move on. Anything less means they are still in Trump’s thrall, and cannot be counted on for anything short of obstruction and sedition.
