This was not two days in the making. Not two weeks. Not two months. The violence we saw - urged by Donald Trump - has been 5 years coming. Since he announced his candidacy. No one woke up this morning and suddenly realized he was a dangerous leader. They knew. pic.twitter.com/WTnVPDO5w6

Here’s hoping every last GOPer who voted to contest the lawful election of President Biden gets a visit from the FBI for their role in the insurrection. Acts and omissions/failures to act are actionable crimes. I’m looking at those who knew what Trump was up to and refused to stop the insurrection.
WH Counsel warned staffers that helping Trump would result in likely treason charges. There’s a bunch of lawyers who are GOPers in Congress, including Cruz. His actions to incite/support Trump are in furtherance of the insurrection. Same with Hawley who was overtly supporting the insurrectionists before they stormed the Capitol.

I don’t know how much clearer online extremists could’ve been: They said they were going to storm the Capitol on January 6th.
They had specific plans. It wasn’t Antifa. It was a combo of QAnon, Proud Boys and pro-Trump militias, openly planning online.

It’ll never happen. That’s the sad truth of it. People like McConnell, who’ve been covering Turmp’s ample six for four years, are not now suddenly going to put country before power and party. That would be a tacit admission they were complicit.
Because it’s going to require Republicans/conservatives from all over the country, both politician and citizen, to stand up and admit that this situation needs to be dealt with. It will never happen.
There’s going to be a handful of people caught on film prosecuted on watered down rioting/trespassing charges and it’ll be swept under the rug. I can’t see Biden having the fortitude or stomach to do this, since a lot of his gestalt is “Can’t we all just get along?”
Every. Single. Person. Who showed up there to overthrow our government should be thrown in a hole in Gitmo for 10 years minimum (including Trump, Cruz, Hawley, et. al.)
But it’s never, never going to happen. Because the vast majority of white Americans will refuse to accept the idea that a coup could happen, despite seeing it live on the air, and that people should be harshly punished for it.

Any of deaths can raise the situation to felony murder for all those arrested as part of this insurrection and failed coup attempt.
In other words, if you’re busy committing one felony - say insurrection - and someone dies in the course of the crime, you can face charges relating to that death. That includes situations where you aren’t actually pulling the trigger.

The electronic age has passed many people there by it seems. They must still have a VCR flashing 12:00 at home.
Donald Trump is EXACTLY the same person he was 8 months ago, 4 years ago, or 30 years ago. This is such cowardly bullshit. People like Mulvaney OWN what happened yesterday and they know it. Now they’re trying to run away from it when it’s too late. https://t.co/mNABWECfcZ

Your average Republican voting district now feels quite comfortable electing outright Nazis into power.
This is not going away anytime soon, if ever. Safeguards must be built into the Constitution and into Law to thwart what they have in store. The next Donald Trump will not be Donald Trump.
If you don’t get the difference between looting a target and stopping our congress from certifying a presidential election; if you don’t understand the vast gulf between Treason & crime, then you need some serious remedial lessons in Civics. Stuff your wuddabouts up your asses.

re: #100 Nyet
MAGA hat = hate symbol
Law enforcement should aggressively profile MAGA.
White males of any age, but particularly those who appear to be over the age of 45 long beards and/or tattoos wearing MAGA caps and/or hoodies, and/or anything appears to be pro-Trump clothing; Big trucks with American/MAGA/Trump 2020 flags on them playing what seems to be country music; Said white males at fast food restaurants; said white males not wearing masks in public…
If law enforcement officers see anyone who fits this profile, they should be stopped, ID’d, frisked, and questioned.
If the public sees anyone who fits this profile, they should call the police immediately, and report possible domestic terrorists.

re: #636 Amory Blaine
Help: I’m trying to find a quote I’ve seen, something along the lines that fascist toy with language while you speak the truth and that the arguments only serve their own ends and not the truth.
“It’s using emotion to circumvent reason, to overwhelm reason,” says Jason Stanley, a Yale philosopher specializing in language and author of the book “How Fascism Works.”
Trump is twice as extreme as his predecessors in the past century. That’s dangerous. (Washington Post, May 24, 2019, opinion piece by Dana Milbank, well worth the read)

I was on the phone with a friend yesterday freaking out, which in turn stressed out Teddy. Today, calm has returned to the Teddy household. I’m pissed but that’s a quieter emotion.
In this particular photo, however, he’s just sad that he had to pose for a photo before he got his treat.
Let me know if you see ANY Republican politician accepting the blame for this disgusting attack on democracy and apologizing sincerely. Because all I’m seeing are rats deserting a sinking ship and pretending they were never rats in the first place.

Undoubtedly, and she’ll probably get a hero’s funeral (she was a veteran, after all) and lots of flowery words will be said at her service. Screw that. She renounced her oath to defend the United States against all enemies, both foreign and domestic. She should be posthumously stripped of her rank and any honors.

They risk their lives, indeed, lose one life, storming the Capitol and attempting to assassinate Pence, and now their fellow Trumpsters and MAGAts are falling over themselves trying to disown them.

The thing that makes me want to pound the table is…absolutely nothing Donald Trump has said, nor his followers have repeated, is different from the same “election fraud” language that Republicans use every single year.
This isn’t about one particularly vulgar burlesque performer, this is the end point of making an entire culture built on paranoia, wallowing in emotionality, and substanceless entitlement over decades.
