The second impeachment trial of Donald Trump opened with graphic videos of the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol

of Donald J. Trump opened with graphic videos of the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol. Some of the clips played by the House impeachment managers featured the senators themselves and the same chamber in which they now sit in judgment.

Almost all 100 senators, most of them masked because of Covid-19, silently watched and listened in the hushed chamber as rioters on the screens rammed doors, attacked police, and chanted: “Treason!” and “Traitors!” and “Where the f--- are they?!” The trial began 27 days after the House impeached Mr. Trump, accusing him of inciting the mob that stormed the Capitol in an attempt to overturn his loss to President Biden in the November election.

As the video played Tuesday, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell watched from his front-row seat near the middle of the floor. He sat motionless, his hands clasped loosely in his lap, as the video replayed his own forceful speech from that same spot, shortly before rioters broke into the building.

In those remarks, Mr. McConnell said there was no doubt that Mr. Biden won the presidency on Nov. 3. He warned that overturning the election would send democracy into a “death spiral.”

Hello Americans. The likes of Wall Street Journal & its diabolical bedfellows like Fox in Sheep's Clothing Outlet camouflaging itself as a News outlet, shall be held accountable & responsible for aiding & abetting Donald Trump & Trump's Sedition & Insurgency.

If Trump and 44 republicans in the Senate feel trying Trump for impeachment after he leaves office is unconstitutional then why aren't they filing a lawsuit and demanding the Supreme Court stop the trial?

“Opened with proof that trump is guilty”, you meant.

A waste of taxpayer dollars nonsense just nonsense

CONVICT! Stand up for our democracy, our country, our Constitution!

In the eyes of responsible voters, they have concluded Trump was guilty of inciting the violent insurrection. This trial will make the Senate look foolish and undemocratic for exoneration a cult master.

Highly edited as Democrats love to say

The nearest two Rooms for this group in this picture are 101-S and 101-H. That is where they should be going. Just ask George.

With an opening like this, they must feeling people have already forgotten what Jan 6 was like. It is a shame if that is true.

Hes Already Out Of the White House. You Still Gonna Try to Impeach Him Laughable. Like Someone Still Trying to Get You Fired Even Though You Already Left Your Position at Work!

Is it necessary? Biden has been doing a lot of things not useful for the problems we are facing.
