It took me a while to wade through, as unlike many on this board, I am no fan of Trump and find him to be a tedious speaker. But given that Congress is considering articles of impeachment, I took the time to read the entire speech the President gave before the riot at the Capitol. In short, I could not find any passage that could reasonably be construed as inciting violence or a riot. A failure of leadership? Irresponsible? Perhaps. But if the question is impeachment, I just don't see the high crime or misdemeanor.

But for those of you with the necessary attention span, I say decide for yourself (and how bizarre that to find the full text of such a controversial speech, I had to go to al-jazeera):

Show me where the nutjobs care?

They don't care, they don't care about you, they don't care about Trump.... all they care about is executing the plan. Complete takeover.

"Speaks volumes about the state of our media in Bidens america"

I admittedly did not scour the internet to find another source, but good grief. You would think all of the major US news sources would have a link to the text of a speech that is the subject of articles of impeachment.

Al Jazeera, Germany, and Mexico are now the beacons of freedom in the world. Are you not worried?

Trump has tweets and other speeches that you can look up to see what he may have talked about to rile his base up.

Fair enough. I may have been looking in the wrong place, but it is the speech that I have most often seen cited as constituting incitement. I wasted enough time reading the entire speech; I would be happy to review a tweet or whatever else you believe qualifies as incitement.

Those with TDS aren't really looking for the facts; it's all about how bad Trump makes them feel. However, I'll make it even easier for them to find the "incitement".

The PBS video of the speech is linked. Also, I included below the relevant excerpts from the speech with the corresponding times from the video, so everyone can verify the "incitement" for themselves.

At 56:43 minutes, Trump says:

"After this, we’re going to walk down and I’ll be there with you. We’re going to walk down. We’re going to walk down any one you want, but I think right here. We’re going walk down to the Capitol, and we’re going to cheer on our brave senators, and congressmen and women."

At 57:35 minutes, Trump says:

"I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard. Today we will see whether Republicans stand strong for integrity of our elections."

At 1:51:49, Trump says in conclusion:

"So we’re going to, we’re going to walk down Pennsylvania Avenue, I love Pennsylvania Avenue, and we’re going to the Capitol and we’re going to try and give… The Democrats are hopeless. They’re never voting for anything, not even one vote. But we’re going to try and give our Republicans, the weak ones, because the strong ones don’t need any of our help, we’re going to try and give them the kind of pride and boldness that they need to take back our country."
