The man chasing this cop up the stairs is Doug Jensen. He works for Forrest & Associate Masonry in

My guess is that the FBI will have a serious chat with this man. Obviously one charge would be that he broke into the Capitol.

They have said they don't agree with his actions, but he still works there.

Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio are 'Whores' by Steve Schmidt

Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio are 'Whores'


https://www.maxnewstoday.com/post/steve-schmidt-shame-on-them-all

Steve Schmidt

Editor's Note: ..................

On Tuesday, Schmidt alleged that Florida Sen. Marco Rubio and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, both men of Cuban heritage, would have supported Fidel Castro had they lived in Cuba during the 1950s and 60s. MaxNewsToday has assembled this 10-tweet thread and reprinted it as one easy-to-read op-ed for our ongoing segment, Schmidt Storm. It has been edited for grammar and clarity.

Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz are party men.

It doesn’t matter which. They lust for power and have no connection to America and our ideas and ideals. If their sedition were to succeed, it would end the Republic. A generation ago, there would have been a national consensus that these are soft and unprincipled men. There would be near unanimity that their character was loathsome and repellent.

They are avatars of self-interest, greed, corruption and cowardice. They represent all of the most unworthy vices. Ted Cruz does this all, cynically, in the service of a man who slandered his father and called his wife ugly and insane. He is the definition of a punk.

Marco Rubio is a fraud of Trumpian dimensions. We look forward to the next two years where we will tell the story of LITTLE’S or LiL’s corruption, grift and staggering hypocrisy. Trust me when I say this. The hypocritical and sanctimonious tweeting of Bible versus will absolutely not protect him.

Shame on you, Lil Marco. The accountability hour is coming. ................

Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer calls for Trump's immediate removal from office

Source: cnbc.com



Published Thu, Jan 7 202111:32 AM ESTUpdated Thu, Jan 7 202111:39 AM EST


The top Senate Democrat Chuck Schumer called for President Donald Trump’s removal Thursday a day after a mob spurred by the president overran the Capitol as lawmakers tallied President-elect Joe Biden’s presidential win.

“What happened at the U.S. Capitol yesterday was an insurrection against the United States, incited by the president. This president should not hold office one day longer,” the New York Democrat said in a statement.

“The quickest and most effective way - it can be done today - to remove this president from office would be for the Vice President to immediately invoke the 25th amendment,” he continued. “If the Vice President and the Cabinet refuse to stand up, Congress should reconvene to impeach the president.”
