Why, of course it would be Chef Andres to step up for our troops! He is an angel and Biden should award him some great award and have him head up some great relief effort during this covid period.
HuffPost: Feeling Betrayed, Far-Right Extremists Have A New Message For Trump: 'Get Out Of Our Way'
https://www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-supporters-betrayed_n_60016777c5b62c0057bc11abIn online havens for MAGA extremists, including Gab, CloutHub, MeWe, Telegram and far-right message boards such as 8kun, the tone toward Trump is shifting. HuffPost reviewed thousands of messages across these platforms and found that a growing minority of the presidents once-devout backers are now denouncing him and rejecting his recent pleas for peace. Some have called for his arrest or execution, labeling him a traitor and a coward. Alarmingly, many of those who are irate about Bidens supposed electoral theft are still plotting to forcibly prevent him from taking office with or without Trumps help.
We dont follow you, another Telegram user wrote, addressing Trump, after the president put out his video urging calm and order. Be quiet and get out of our way.
It has become apparent that now after his mass radicalization campaign of voter-fraud disinformation and conspiracy-mongering even Trump cant stop the dangerous delusion hes instilled across the country, or the next wave of violence it may soon bring...
It seems that even the Proud Boys are losing faith in Trump: A Telegram channel run by the group reposted a message with Trumps video along with the text The Betrayal of Trumpist base by Trump himself continues.
Now that Trump himself appears to finally be backing away from his Stop the Steal hoax, a growing faction of his supporters is through with him, too.
With so much at stake and no sane hope of clinging to power, its now in the presidents best interest for his base to avoid further violence, which could increase his chances of conviction. But the reality is that the monster Trump created doesnt need him anymore. He can promise and call for peace all he likes, one Gab user wrote. Wont make a blind bit of difference.
Pelosi announces retired lieut general to lead review of 'security infrastructure' after attack
https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/15/politics/lieutenant-general-russel-honore-capitol-security-review/index.html(CNN)House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Friday announced that retired Lt. General Russel Honoré will lead a review of the "security infrastructure" of Capitol Hill, following a violent riot that left five people dead earlier this month.
"To protect our Democracy, we must now subject the security of the U.S. Capitol Complex to rigorous scrutiny," Pelosi said in a statement. "To that end, I have asked Lt. General Russel Honoré (Ret.), a respected leader with experience dealing with crises, to lead an immediate review of the Capitol's security infrastructure, interagency processes and procedures, and command and control."
Bravo Madam Speaker! Glad we now have General Honore to shore up the Capitol!
Photos show National Guard troops sleeping on Capitol floors ahead of impeachment vote
https://ktla.com/news/nationworld/photos-show-national-guard-troops-sleeping-on-marble-floors-of-capitol-ahead-of-impeachment-vote/"Much of the online reaction questioned why the troops were not provided more comfortable sleeping arrangements."
In the least, why aren't our troops even provided some sleeping bags?
One of our sons is a Marine. It pains me to see pictures of our military having to sleep on the cold floors of the Capitol without even a blanket
Any protesters so far @the DC Capitol or state Capitols so far?
Starting this thread as i'm nervous as heck, but believe our leaders are in good hands w our National Guards and other authorities.

"I think we have the 67 votes to convict now."
What does he know that we don't yet know? Who are the 17 GOP senators besides Ben Sasse & Lisa Murkowski willing to convict the SOB?
Anyone watching Biden's announcements going on? He just called Cruz & Hawley LIARS
He answered a reporter's question "Do you think they should resign?"
He said the voters should vote them out when their term is up. But he did say "It's a part of the Big Lie..if you say it often enough people will believe it".
That's equivalent to me of calling them LIARS. Thank you for speaking the truth, President Biden!
Houston Chronicle: 'Ted Cruz has got to go': Protests hit Houston after deadly Capitol riot
https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/houston-texas/houston/article/houston-protests-rallies-us-capitol-riot-trump-tx-15852806.phpProtests against President Donald Trump and Republicans are being organized Thursday in Houston following the deadly insurrection of the U.S. Capitol.
Hey hey, go ho, Ted Cruz has got to go, chanted a group of Houston activists around noon in front of the Leland Federal Building at 1919 Smith Street.
Around a dozen people gathered, some with signs that read, Remove Traitors, 25th Amendment and Trump lost, fascists get out.
Ted Cruz faces fierce blowback after his objection to Joe Bidens victory and riot at the U.S. Capitol
Wednesdays chaos led to calls for Cruzs resignation from Texas Democrats. But Cruz says he aint going anywhere.

CNN: Angry Republican leaders float removing Trump from office. Rachel Maddow just mentioned this

https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/06/politics/trump-capitol-impeachment-25-amendment/index.html
Washington (CNN)After violent pro-Trump protesters stormed the US Capitol on Wednesday, a growing number of Republican leaders told CNN that they believe Donald Trump should be removed from office before January 20. Four of them called for the 25th Amendment to be invoked, and two others said the President should be impeached.
"He has to be impeached and removed," said one current Republican elected official.
A former senior official said the President's actions were egregious enough to remove him even with such a short time left in his tenure.
"I think this has been a huge shock to the system," said the former official. "How do you keep him in place for two weeks after this?"
Dumb question: Do the Congress members have anything to eat? Cori Bush said she & staff were hungry.
They're going to be there for a long night i'd imagine. They need nourishment.
