Opinion | Hayes Brown: There are inherent risks in giving former President Trump a megaphone to spread his inanities now that he's out of office and has been deplatformed from Twitter. - MSNBCDaily

in 2017, began in February 1924. Under the eyes of a sympathetic judge who"allowed Hitler to use the tribunal as a pulpit," the future dictator held sway even though he faced charges of high treason. Here's how Ullrich described it:

The fate of Germany does not lie in the choice between a Republic or a Monarchy, but in the content of the Republic and the Monarchy. What I am contending against is not the form of a state as such, but its ignominious content. We wanted to create in Germany the precondition which alone will make it possible for the iron grip of our enemies to be removed from us.

Now, I don't expect anything remotely as eloquent from the former president should he take the stand. But there are inherent risks in giving Trump a megaphone to spread his inanities now that he's out of office and has beenIn the weeks since the attack on Congress, Trump hasn't found a sense of remorse.

Logically speaking, this isn't an impediment to a trial. Witnesses can say false things under oath, but the prosecution then counters with facts for the jury. Knowingly lying under oath can also bring potential consequences, like charges of perjury or contempt of the court. But what happens when a defendant doesn't care about all that?

HayesBrown Daily Funny that the left makes comparisons to Hitler when referring to President Trump. When THEIR actions and words are straight out of Fascism 101.

HayesBrown Daily Dear GOP Senators, It’s clear that you cling to Donald (Impeached 2X) Trump to milk his political equity. It is clear that as his “fan base”realizes that he used and abused them his is losing them an that equity. Save your party. Convict Trump.

HayesBrown Daily That's what Trump is counting on! And he is already planning his mega superspreader tour... 🤯

HayesBrown Daily he's still on Twitter. Under fake accounts

HayesBrown Daily Then Hitler got the Brown Boys to do his dirty work.... and Trump got the P.... Boy's!!!

HayesBrown Daily Trump impeachment and trial is the only correct way to the Americans, otherwise the country will be torn by civil war and chaos if left in the hands of racist lunatics!

HayesBrown Daily No there’s not, he’s been muzzled, he’s history, living a life in Purgatory

HayesBrown Daily That’s exactly why they are not dragging it out. It has to be done, it’s a moral imperative. But do it quick.

HayesBrown Daily Ya think?

HayesBrown Daily How Chillingly True.

HayesBrown Daily Platforms given to other inanities from msnbc don’t help. trump will be a convicted felon.

HayesBrown Daily No one wants to hear from him. No One! Stop reporting on him. What's needed at this point is for him to stand trial for all his crimes on America. No one is above the law. And neither should he.

HayesBrown Daily If he testifies, he'll be cross-examined. Bring it On!

HayesBrown Daily Speak to the sheep... speak to the sheep...

HayesBrown Daily This treats the impeachment as a political strategy, not as the Constitutional requirement it is.

HayesBrown Daily As accurate as this is I'd rather he not be able to post on social media anyway

HayesBrown Daily There's a huge difference between the two. Trump would prove his Incompetence with his testimony

HayesBrown Daily This is exactly what the biden administration wants to rule United States citizens.

HayesBrown Daily So you really think Nazi Germany could have voted Hitler out After he became Chancellor?

HayesBrown Daily There are 'inherent risks' in getting out of bed every morning.

HayesBrown Daily Orwell warned us on his deathbed of these days. We are witnesses to the suppression of speech, the curtailment of opinion, and the downfall of our Republic. The ones who obey blindly will be brought low just as they seek to bring down others.

HayesBrown Daily Lol

HayesBrown Daily Or, if the second impeachment is a failure (which it should be because it’s based on fabulized and exaggerated claims) the democrats will look foolish... again.

Daily * As the socialists fear a successful president who put our country first and the people of this country first this pre determined bore feast is DOA as being 'UNCONSTITUTIONAL'!!!! Trump2024

Daily There are not nearly the risks from Trump as there are from left-wing demigods like Hayes Brown and MSNBC who think they should be the saviors of the world. Censorship is WRONG! Educate yourself instead.

Daily For all the people who did not allow Trump in their head!!! You survived!! Trump needs to look at both sides of himself and until he does, he is a complete danger to Society!!

Daily I’ve never reached out in this way but one of my twin boys is going to need a lot of medical care soon. I don’t have many followers so I’m asking any like-minded progressives to retweet this and donate if at all possible. Thank you so much! gofundme

Daily I’d like to think the American populace isn’t as naive as the war weary, predominantly antisemetic population of 1920s Germany but I’ve been wrong before

Daily ......what’s really funny about this is that he’s basically dead to the public. People have short attention spans in this era and move on fast. The media are the ones who can’t let their bell cow go.

Daily Don’t give him one

Daily On the plus side - if he decides to write a Trumpian “Mein Kampf” - unless it’s ghost written - we don’t have to worry about it being anything other than a big picture book. One of the ones with rounded cardboard pages. “This is a picture of a Democrat stealing the election”.

Daily Why was Trump banned?

Daily He has to be stopped from ever having an audience.

The Latest: Many GOP senators indifferent to Democrats' caseDemocrats are arguing that former President Trump “built” the mob that attacked the Capitol. Prosecutors at Trump’s impeachment trial say Trump fired up his supporters with lies about a stolen election and followed up with an invitation to a Jan. 6 rally. He did. The end-product of this is to have every Republican on the record as to whether they support democracy and universal voting, stick with Trump lies and are not going to ever uphold their oath that they swore to 'uphold the Constitution over all enemies, domestic or foreign.' He did
