Are divided between going there to NYC or Mar-a-Lago to protest/protect TFG, which is all bluster, and some people who are still Trump supporters but have crawled far enough out of their stupid hole to realize that he's left all the January 6th insurrectionists hanging, and he would do it to them too. I have a feeling it's going to be a Nothingburger protest-wise.

7. Given what's happened to the insurrectionists, its tough to believe anyone would fall for that again

But then they supported an offensive blowhard who knew nothing about government and only ran for the campaign contributions to begin with since all his other business ventures failed - yet from what we've seen so far, it looks like enough of them have caught on to not show up this time. Chris Hayes asked Michael Steele what would have happened if Barack Obama had done the same thing, cheated on his wife when she was still nursing a baby, would his have voters come out in support of him? And both of them burst out laughing. Which says all we need to know about TFG supporters, but added to his other crimes, we can hope that even the majority of them have had enough.

Lawrence was on fire tonight, and he and Rachel were both incredibly reassuring. 2 hours of must-see TV, for sure!

6. I agree, he was just excellent, I look forward to his explanations and I trust his experience

And having Rachel on as well on this anxious night was exactly what we needed. Given the news we've heard for the past few days, I almost expected one of MSNBC's special panels (with Rachel!) which would have been more than fine with me. *sigh*
