The only breaches of law that I think really should be looked at is his family's continued breach of the emoluments clause. Not only did he continue to actively run his business' during his administration, but his family used their positions to secure and expand their business' in China and the Middle East. Then there is the fact that Trump forced federal government to use his privately owned properties to house traveling diplomats and government agents. This required the government to finance upgrades to his properties to meet diplomatic travel standards.

It's not a twist, it's a legal standard.

You're missing the finer points of it. Merely suggesting irregularities in the voting, or even saying it's rigged is covered under the first amendment. However, when you have an armed mob at a rally, blocks from the capitol building, and you say "We fight like hell. And if you don't fight like hell, you're not going to have a country anymore" , that can very easily be construed as a call to arms. Like I said, we'll have to see what a judge and jury believe.

They were on government business and required to use Trump properties. Auditors claim that he was using inflated rates, of course, Trump and his family claim otherwise, but the fact that he was using his properties for directed government business is a breach of the emoluments clause. Lucky for him, SCOTUS is stacked in his favor. They overturned a lower court ruling but refused to take the case up themselves. You know, discovery could get ugly in a case like that.
 
Emoluments
 
Charges for state dinner at Trump property
 
Family given money from foreign powers
 
Secret Service charged at least $1.4m, at inflated rates for accomodations at Trump properties for official duties protecting the president.

How do you do @Jericho. art thou friend or foe 😂’
Welcome..did not think anyone but me and 5 ultra conservatives and self identified independents read this post. 
 
Will promptly research the sophisticated terms you mention.. and look forward to your engagement …
 
 

It's funny how republicans (note, not conservatives, I still have hope for Libertrians and anarcho-capitalists) 30 years ago waxed poetic about statesmen like Demosthenes, and have since moved on to a moral relativist like Solon.

BLM Protestors who broke the law were either arrested, or shot by vigilantes for the most part. These are not peaceful protests, they are weaponized willful ignorance.

I really don't understand this madness with reticence towards vaccines and public health safety. It's based in ignorance and misinterpretation of a social contract. Yes, it is mostly survivable, but so is cancer. However, unlike cancer, it's not transmitted by simply breathing on someone. It's not just about your individual freedom and right to your own body, this impacts many many others. But let's be honest, the arguments against vaccines and pandemic protocols is disingenuous at best. The people who claim my body my my choice won't support giving that same right to women's reproductive rights. Hell, these are the same people who are against teaching any part of history that could possibly make someones feelings to get hurt. 

From a practical standpoint, I would think that Senators Cruz and Cornyn along with Gov. Abbot should be requesting FEMA support and federal aid. I know Texas and it's citizens like to believe the fairy tale that they are super independent, but the fact is that per capita, Texas receives more money than California. They are amongst the bottom 10 states in terms of dollars paid to received from the federal government.
 
Or is Texas just going to double down on their ineptitude and continue to let their dilapidated infrastructure continue to crumble, allowing more people to die due to the incompetence of the state government?

To be honest, the last 8 presidents have been objectively terrible, from an economic, as well as foreign and domestic policy standpoint. They have turned this country over to the ultra wealthy, both liberal and conservative, and leveraged their support by bending over for the ultra religious zealots. There is way too much support for religion, and socialism in this country.

The impeachment trials are completely immaterial to this sort of lawsuit.  First of all, the impeachment hearings are a political kangaroo court where you had 1/4 of the jurors (Trump apologist senators) meeting with the defense lawyers to strategize. Second, this is a civil lawsuit, and a federal one at that, which is far different from the Perry Mason episodes you're thinking of. The rules are different, and the standard of proof to convict is much less than a criminal case. That being said, I don't think they will get any judgment on Trump or his campaign. Perhaps the domestic terrorist proud boys and oathkeepers.

Back when conservatives didn't care about what people did in the privacy of their own homes, or with whom, and liberals weren't so obsessed with  regulating everything. Too bad Nixon was a narcissist who wasn't content with just winning by a landslide, no, it had to be a historical event for his ego. 

Nixon. I won't judge a Biden Administration on three weeks worth of work. I'm not in favor of several of his policies, but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt for a year or so.

Then you obviously misunderstood just about everything he said. He's the one who converted the religious and political warriors, and saw boogeymen around every corner. Not saying that the left is any better, but let's not pretend that Rush was a real conservative. He was an ultra wealthy plutocrat who sold his conservative bona fides to the ultra wealthy overlords so that he could somewhat join them (He was worth nearly $700m). Not that there is anything wrong with being wealthy, but when your wealth is derived from government contracts and deregulation that only serves you and your buddies, then you are no better than the lefties who want to give money to all the poor and immigrants.
 
I hope he is at peace, and I won't wish any ill will upon him, but American politics are a much better place without him. Now if only HIllary, Mitch, Donald, Pelosi and all the rest of the hypocrites would leave politics, we could actually pare down this government to what it was intended to be, without all the largesse via pork spending.

Nixon's engagement with China and the Soviet Union, and his support for civil rights were winners for sure. He also tried to pass big health care reforms; it's too bad he didn't succeed. But I agree that he was probably the last real conservative Republican. Once we get to Reagan, it's all about making the wealthy wealthier on the backs of the poor and middle class.
