No one asks "was there mens rea" unless an illegal act occurred.  Simply showing up at a protest while angry is not a crime.  But rioting is.  And inciting a riot is.  Trump continuing to incite violence after he knew that there were real threats of violence and even actual violence is a crime, and the testimony we have establishes that he knew what he was doing.

All of that is LIES... Anything you say going forward on anything, I will assume its a lie, because you wouldn't know the truth if it smacked you upside your liberal head.

He's not liberal. He's a product of the establishment. He believes in it and it defines his reality. Within that paradigm, he's relatively open minded. He just can't properly criticize what his unable to see. No one can.

I just wish people would stay acknowledging how corrupt our system has become, but that won't happen until they become negatively impacted by it. Would you be criticizing the establishment 20 years ago? I was around then; I don't remember conservatives lashing out about government corruption.
