The president should be charged with inciting an insurrection.

This is what happens when you call the neo-Nazis in Charlottesville "Very fine people"

This is what happens when you tell the Proud Boys to "Stand by"

Those of us who understood the threats at the time were slandered as deranged partisans.

I want my f***ing apology.

Impeached, removed, barred from ever serving in office again, prosecuted for inciting an insurrection, and jailed. Ideally for the rest of his miserable life.

I was told that it was Democrats who were supporters of the violent mob.

He needs to be expelled from office before the night is out.

Y'all probably already saw this but Rep. Cori Bush is calling for the expulsion of the "coup caucus"



Throwing out hundreds of elected representatives is a great way to turn this into an actual Civil War.  What a moron.

What happened today demands drastic consequences.

Um, how?

At this point, I'm willing to set aside chain of command issues.

Trump should not be impeached or removed from office. That would turn him into a martyr and further radicalized his supporters.

You're right, we should reward him for inciting an insurrection at the Capitol and let him stay in office for four more years!









F*** That S***

I'm not a fan of the slandering of the French Revolution, but the rest is good.

The best governor in America (imo) has the right idea. Don't just blame Trump. Blame all who fanned the flames for their own political benefit.



Wolf is such a quietly terrific governor. Glad to live in Pennsylvania.

CNN: GOP source claiming Trump is "...out of his mind", stopping the certification vote is "...all he can think about". Does NOT believe the cabinet will execute the 25th amendment, but the idea has been entertained.

I think about this piece on Nixon's final days in office a lot lately: https://medium.com/@Anthony_Bergen/what-have-i-done-the-final-hours-of-richard-nixon-s-presidency-40ffbeac6c44

Twitter has locked Trump's account for 12 hours:



About damn time.

A rare moment where I find myself agreeing with McConnell. A speech that met the moment we are in.

Have we ever had an acting President before?

H.W. and Cheney both served as acting President, but under Section 3, not Section 4.

One could make a case for Edith Wilson, though obviously that was in a *highly* unofficial capacity.

All these cowards resigning today: Principled stand, or were they holding out hope that Trump might cheat his way into a second term?
Invariably, the latter

Nah, they wanted him to promote their post-presidency books. But now they realize that probably isn't going to help their sales.

lol  Cheesy


How did the Germans end up being the same ones?

How did a fake account get 173k likes?

I mean, it is still funny. But I do suspect a lot of people didn't realize it was a parody account.

"The best way we can show respect for the voters who are upset is by telling them the truth."

None absent. Only 99 Senators because Perdue's term expired.

This is honestly the harshest I’ve ever seen the GOP rebuke Trump outside of the usual suspects like Romney, Flake, etc.

Too little, too late of course. But could this mean the tide is turning for the future? Or is it impossible now for them to contain the monster they have unleashed?

We're not going to know until after the next round of primaries.

Unsurprising but still horrifying that he was happy about it. A complete disgrace.
