The “Munich Putsch”, was a failed coup d’état by Nazi Party in 1923. The German establishment at the time wiped the dust off their hands and said “that’s the last we will see of that idiot”… and they were wrong.
Every time Trump has done something stupid, people’s response has been “well it can’t get worse than this”. It can. America can NOT let its guard down. America must stay vigilant. This isn’t over.
He is who we thought he was. The GOP needs responsible leadership that would never have allowed such a person to represent them. They should be ashamed of what they have allowed to happen.
“It is high time for me to put an end to your sitting in this place,
which you have dishonored by your contempt of all virtue, and defiled by your practice of every vice.
Ye are a factious crew, and enemies to all good government.
Ye are a pack of mercenary wretches, and would like Esau sell your country for a mess of pottage, and like Judas betray your God for a few pieces of money.
Is there a single virtue now remaining amongst you? Is there one vice you do not possess?
Ye have no more religion than my horse. Gold is your God. Which of you have not bartered your conscience for bribes? Is there a man amongst you that has the least care for the good of the Commonwealth?
Ye sordid prostitutes have you not defiled this sacred place, and turned the Lord’s temple into a den of thieves, by your immoral principles and wicked practices?
Ye are grown intolerably odious to the whole nation. You were deputed here by the people to get grievances redressed, are yourselves become the greatest grievance.
Your country therefore calls upon me to cleanse this Augean stable, by putting a final period to your iniquitous proceedings in this House; and which by God’s help, and the strength he has given me, I am now come to do.
I command ye therefore, upon the peril of your lives, to depart immediately out of this place.
Go, get you out! Make haste! Ye venal slaves be gone! So! Take away that shining bauble there, and lock up the doors.
There is a Republican now calling for Pence to invoke the 25th and oust Trump. Trump may even be considering it himself, I’m sure he feels its better to be a martyr than a loser.
Trumpette relative posted the pic at this link and said that the “government fell in two hours to the Duck Dynasty and the guy in the chewbacca bikini”. She must have gone to sleep before the Senate reconvened and confirmed Joe Biden as president elect.
The second amendment should not allow these people to be armed. There is nothing about this (or any other) band of thugs that could possibly be called a “well regulated militia.” Time to pull back on that.
I cannot get over the number of people I hear saying, ‘Who could have predicted something like this." From his early election campaign, “I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn’t lose any voters,”, through "I’d like to punch him in the face," to “Lock him/her up!”, the herd could be seen to urge him on, this outcome, or worse could always have been predicted. Couple this rubbish with second amendment pandering by Republicans and ‘open carry’ laws and I’m surprised this is as bad as it has gotten thus far.
I think Trump once said he would have run into the Sandy Hook Elementary School with a gun to save the kids . . . . Patriotic Law and Order stuff ! Now he suggests his lunatic cult to show up at The Capitol Building and various State Capitols to steal the voters rights of Democratic elections with the help of HIS Republican Party. Both are guilty of trying to overthrow our Republic. Wrap speed moving from Democracy to Fascism in 4 years. Wonder how many more Americans would be still alive today if Trump had done something besides play golf and watch Fox News.
Trump stands at his pulpit and waves his Tiki torch and incites his minions… then denies that he ever stood at his pulpit and waved his Tiki torch and incited his minions…
You know, in the 1930s the reactionary Nazis got their inroad to power by convincing the German conservatives to permit them into the conservative tent. Of course, once they got enough power they turned on the conservatives, too. The current batch of U.S. reactionaries has been using the U.S. conservatives in the exact same way, and the conservatives fell for it, hook, line, and sinker for years. Lindsey Graham acknowledged his start of awakening the other day when we got far too close to an insurgent mob destroying one of the pillars of democracy, the legislature (which has already surrendered far too much of its power to the current imperial president who created many EOs that he did NOT have the Constitutional power to create since they usurped the powers of the legislature and of the states). Thankfully, unlike Germany back then, the legislature did not give up to dictatorship, though a few reactionaries in Congress still tried to fold democracy, and one (Hawley) even saluted the insurgent mob.

As to Trump using the mob for his own profit (for which he should be punished to the full extent of the law): You can’t spell “sedition” without i d i o t s.
Wise up. It is time for moderates and actual conservatives to take the Republican Party back from the reactionaries, legally depose them from their positions of power all over our nation, and for the leadership of both parties to make sure that they can not infiltrate a major U.S. political party ever again.
All of the electronics in the Capitol Building must now be considered to be potentially breached and not safe to be used.
Also, it is essential to remember how recently Trump fired so many high level military and security experts and replaced them with his boot lickers. Was that timed?
Another question that arose today that is related to some Capitol Police high-fiving the insurgents, their beforehand refusal of help from the National Guard, and their understaffing for the 6th: why had they locked away the hoses used for spraying cold water on those who break through the barriers?
