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.

    I really thought in 2016 Bernie would splinter the democrats and we’d have a true left party. I also thought trump would create a new party on the right and the republicans would go back to being republicans. Can you imagine a 4 party system!

    To my surprise, the trump dragged the republicans even further to the right, and the democrats moved even more center-right to appease ex-republicans. So the whole nation just moved right, which is sad.

      it’s been moving to the right my whole lifetime. i’m 64. we’re not right at the fascist line, with our right wing party actually over the line, and no far left at all.

      Wouldn’t last… you’d end up like Australia where they just form coalitions and it’s the same result as if they never split

      The Republicans recently had a split with the Tea Party, that’s where we got Ted Cruz from. Then they lost the election to Obama and came back to republicans
