"It's Time For trump To Fly" (apologies to REO Speedwagon)

https://twitter.com/Scr0dman/status/1351879903944331264

Time For trump To Fly

I've been yelling at you
Been up & down for you
But I just can't get any relief
You've shown off your pride 4 years
Lived and lied 4 years
But we know you're really a thief

You've been stealin' our money away
Cuz you always grift it
Peelin' the years away
And we can't relive it
Oh, I make you laugh
And you make me cry
I believe it's time for trump to fly

You said we'd work it out
You said that ya had no doubt
That deep down we were really in love
Oh, but I'm tired of holdin' on
To a feelin' I know is gone
I do believe that we've had enough

I've had enough of the falseness
Of a worn out relation
Enough of the jealousy
And the intoleration
Oh, I make you laugh
And you make me cry
I believe it's time for trump to fly

U.S. files conspiracy charge against Oath Keeper leader in alleged plot against the Capitol

U.S. files conspiracy charge against Oath Keeper leader in alleged plot against the Capitol
https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/legal-issues/conspiracy-oath-keeper-arrest-capitol-riot/2021/01/19/fb84877a-5a4f-11eb-8bcf-3877871c819d_story.html

U.S. authorities have leveled the first conspiracy charge against an apparent leader of an extremist group in the Jan. 6 storming of the U.S. Capitol, arresting an alleged Oath Keeper who is accused of plotting to disrupt the electoral vote confirmation of President-elect Joe Biden’s victory and proposing further assaults on state capitols.

Thomas Edward Caldwell, 65, of Clarke County, Va., was taken into custody before 7 a.m. on four federal counts, including conspiracy to commit an offense against the United States in the attack on the Capitol. The conspiracy charge is reserved for offenses interfering with or obstructing the lawful operation of government.

A charging affidavit says he helped organize a group of eight to 10 individuals, including self-styled Ohio militia members apprehended Sunday, who wore helmets and military-style gear and were seen moving purposefully toward the top of the Capitol steps and leading the move against police lines.

...

Another of those newly charged this weekend was Robert Gieswein, 24, of Woodland Park, Colo. Charging documents and videos indicate he may have links to the three extremist groups that have drawn the most attention from the FBI: the Proud Boys, Oath Keepers and Three Percenters. Some of the videos appear to include members who discussed storming the Capitol about an hour ahead of the riot.

Azar out. He's resigned

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-trump-azar/u-s-health-secretary-azar-resigns-cites-capitol-attack-cnn-idUSKBN29L02H

But, Azar, who will remain on the job until President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration on Jan. 20, voiced concern that last week’s mob siege of the Capitol building and Trump’s unfounded claims of widespread voter fraud “threaten to tarnish these and other historic legacies of this administration.”

“The attacks on the Capitol were an assault on our democracy and on the tradition of peaceful transitions of power,” Azar wrote in his formal resignation letter.


How brave, eh?
