Re: Trump Impeachment "Trial" Underway

If/when this impeachment leads to an acquittal, presumably this will set a precedent. Going forward, if a President of either party loses, they can try to incite riots to reverse the situation. If this reverses the election result they are home and dry. If they lose and the election result stands, ...

Right-wing "media" is trying to pin this on "antifa" so I'm sure millions will jump on that bandwagon too, after all most of them weren't in DC, and what's one more conspiracy theory to them ? And it has been the most ridiculous attempts. Like the "Ohhh he's got a hammer an...

Other accords you would be talking Belfast Agreement I imagine. A customs border on the frontier does not break that agreement.
