1. Congress reconvenes this evening to finish EC count.
2. Entire Capitol Police force is suspended pending investigation. DC Police and The FBI with support from MD and VA NG are deputized to act as capitol police in the mean time.
3. Tomorrow bills are voted on to expel Josh Hawley and Ted Cruz (and anyone else up to their level of fuckery in this matter) from the Senate and Louie Gohmert (and anyone else up to his level of fuckery) from the House. They will be referred to the DOJ for possible Sedition charges under the US Code section that people keep bringing up.
4. After they are sent packing, then even if Pence has invoked the 25th Amendment, House votes on Articles of Impeachment. Send to Cruz and Hawley-less Senate immediately for trial.
5. Congress votes on Bill to change Inauguration Day to the next day for 2021, then to 1 month after election day from then on.

re: #48 Charles Johnson
Trump was busy cheering on the people who stormed the Capitol as his people. Hard to square that circle. This is what Trump wanted. These were his people.
Trump condoned this terror attack. His base cheered this on. A few concerned GOPers didn’t think this was a problem right until they were forced to evacuate Pence and everyone had to run for safe spaces in the LOBs. Only then did they find their voice to issue half-hearted condemnations of the violence, which they were more than willing to incite by backing Trump’s insane conspiracy theories.
The resumption of the joint session should occur only after the GOP agrees to unanimously support Biden as next POTUS and confirm the EC counts. Anyone failing, should be called out and expelled as insurrectionists.
Zero tolerance. Law and order. That’s what this means. We don’t tolerate insurrection, and what the GOP has been doing has been inciting to insurrection and overthrow the legitimate transfer of power.
Meanwhile, we’ve got reports that the NG was called out by Pence, not Trump, which raises questions over the chain of command all while other reports are suggesting Trump’s out of his mind.
That would necessitate the 25A/impeachment, but if the GOP and Cabinet refuse to remove on 25A grounds, are there even enough GOPers in the Senate willing to remove? This is how Trump has wrecked the nation and the entire democratic experiment by being so corrupt and compromised that he compromised his entire political party by radicalizing the base to act out in violence when they don’t get their way.

re: #139 Jack Burton
So you’re saying the US is uniquely incompetent?
(The “shadow cabinet” thing is a red herring — France has no such thing but the handover is the day after the election).
If 16 senators were grouped together for expulsion, the total number of Senators deciding their fate would be 86. 2/3 of that would be 56. Democrats would only need six Republican votes.
140 House members up for expulsion means we only need 2/3 of 195 - or 197 votes to expel them all together.
Just doing math here…not sure if defendants get to vote on their own behalf.
Comment on Charlie Pierce’s last post of the day, about the insurrection at the Capitol:
In addition to the accompanying picture showing the stand off at the entrance doors, my kid, who knows his way around the internet, was showing me video after video of the Capital Police in a bloody skirmish inside the building with these anarchists. I believe ultimately they were outnumbered and retreated. He also showed me the video of the female protester getting shot. Make no mistake, she was dressed up in all the appropriate Trump cosplay. While she was on the ground, into the video storms the gun toting marpers announcing “active shooter!” and gettign into defensive positions, which proves this was an armed insurrection. All of these videos are on the internet so identifying and prosecuting these people is possible; whether anyone takes the time to do it is another story. The Chicago Police are still arresting looters from last summer using security footage, so I know it is possible.
My response to your question, though, is I think this was a result of racism. If the rally was a black lives matter rally the entirety of the 1500 capital police would have been either on duty or on call. In this instance it appears they just assumed this was a dog and pony show.

“In institutional self-defense, Trump must be impeached again and this time removed. That needs to happen immediately, before he can declare martial law, so that Vice President Mike Pence can oversee the constitutional transition of power, the first time since the Civil War that such a transition can no longer be described as ‘peaceful

Since we survived the first War of the Rebellion, this second half-assed attempt by armchair patriots is not going to really threaten the US.
