PRESIDENT TRUMP’S refusal to accept his election defeat and his relentless incitement of his supporters led Wednesday to the unthinkable: an assault on the U.S. Capitol by a violent mob that overwhelmed police and drove Congress from its chambers as it was debating the counting of electoral votes. Responsibility for this act of sedition lies squarely with the president, who has shown that his continued tenure in office poses a grave threat to U.S. democracy. He should be removed.
Mr. Trump encouraged the mob to gather on Wednesday, as Congress was set convene, and to “be wild.” After repeating a panoply of absurd conspiracy theories about the election, he urged the crowd to march on the Capitol. “We’re going to walk down, and I’ll be there with you,” he said. “You’ll never take back our country with weakness. You have to show strength, and you have to be strong.” The president did not follow the mob, but instead passively watched it on television as its members tore down fences around the Capitol and overwhelmed police guarding the building. House members and senators were forced to flee. Shots were fired and at least one person was struck and killed.
Rather than immediately denouncing the violence and calling on his supporters to stand down, Mr. Trump issued two mild tweets in which he called on them to “remain” or “stay” peaceful. Following appeals from senior Republicans, he finally released a video in which he asked people to go home, but doubled down on the lies fueling the vigilantes. “We love you. You’re very special,” he told his seditious posse. Later, he excused the riot, tweeting that “these are the things and events that happen when a sacred landslide election victory is so unceremoniously & viciously stripped away.”
The president is unfit to remain in office for the next 14 days. Every second he retains the vast powers of the presidency is a threat to public order and national security. Vice President Pence, who had to be whisked off the Senate floor for his own protection, should immediately gather the Cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment, declaring that Mr. Trump is “unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office.” Congress, which would be required to ratify the action if Mr. Trump resists, should do so. Mr. Pence should serve until President-elect Joe Biden is inaugurated on Jan. 20.

I was sleeping.. I stayed up all night Ossoff Watching & celebrating his Win.
When I got up I saw a text from my sister in Florida(we had been texting about the Wins in Georgia last night) that simply said "WTF"..
I got all freaked out bc I thought maybe somehow Ossoff didn't win.. & then I looked at DU & started to understand.
and have been on vapors all day figuring it would be one more long day and then we were done.
But NOOOOOOOOO......

I've been there.. not a good feeling. At least I got some sleep. Went to bed at 6am & got up at 1pm.
Thanks for the pics of the fucking nazis thinking they're such hot shit.
Too bad someone had to die. I still don't know what that's about. 
the cops have nice clear pics of their faces and they'll eventually be given a parting gift of 3 hots and a cot. 
some of these fascist hoodlums breaking windows and entering the Capitol through those broken windows. Every single one of these thugs needs to serve time. Alongside the so-called law enforcement officers who facilitated the breech.
He could be 46. 
and has been since Day One
time for so many to fucking Get It!
Like the freaking media who worked overtime to "Normalize" him.
