Huh. I can't seem to block you from this instance; I don't know if that's a lemmy.world problem or a sh.itjust.works problem. Ah well, since we're still here: https://d3i6fh83elv35t.cloudfront.net/static/2023/12/23SA300.pdf

  • A large group of people forcibly entered the Capitol, overwhelming law enforcement officers on site.
  • The mob was armed with a wide array of weapons, including metal bars from police barricades and officers' batons and riot shields.
  • The mob violently assaulted police officers throughout the day, using actual and threatened force.
  • The mob coordinated and demonstrated unity of purpose, marching through the Capitol, chanting threats against members of Congress and Vice President Pence.
  • Upon breaching the Capitol, the mob pursued its intended target—the certification of the presidential election—reaching the House and Senate chambers within minutes.
  • The mob's unified purpose was to hinder or prevent Congress from counting the electoral votes and certifying the 2020 presidential election, effectively halting the electoral certification process.

The transfer of power happened in spite of Trump, not because he didn't make the attempt. Rebut the Court, not me. But this would require you to read, which I know you won't do, and argue in good faith, which you aren't and won't.

As to your second topic: Of course, as long as you'll agree that whatever sentence Biden gets Trump also gets but to greater scale, to reflect the difference in both the number and sensitivity of the documents retained. See, that's the difference between Democrats and Republicans: we're willing to hold our leaders to account and we expect them to be subject to the same laws the rest of us are.
