He's Out Of His Mind
Keep your eyes wide. On January 6, 2021, Washington D.C. might prove to be the most dangerous city in the entire western hemisphere.
As I write these words, the president of the United States is out in front of the southern portico of the White House, having a positively Hitleresque moment. Never before has the man appeared to be more disturbed and unhinged. Since he has invited untold numbers of angry yahoos to come into D.C. to raise some hell in protest of the election of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, he is covered by bullet-proof glass. You see, a lot of these assholes will be armed. You never know if one of them might get the bright idea that it might be a neat thing to make Donald a martyr for the MAGA cause. He would be the Martin Luther King of the extreme right. Sound crazy? Not really. Most of these folks are heartbreakingly dumb; Idiot Nation, you know.
Just now, he threatened Mike Pence in public, telling him that he'd better name Donald John Trump as the winner of the 2020 campaign when the numbers are officially tabulated later this afternoon (or possibly tomorrow). About a dozen senators and over one-hundred congressmen and women are threatening to contest the results - which should take many hours of debate. What is happening at this moment is an attempted coup. For the first time in our history, we probably won't have a peaceful transfer of power. Isn't that something? We are living through extraordinary times. We really are!
At the moment on the laptop monitor to my left, Trump has gotten the crowd whooped up into a maniacal frenzy. They're shouting in unison:
"WE WANT YOU! WE WANT YOU!"
He just now referred to the Democratic party as "an organized criminal enterprise", which is what I've been saying about the GOP for decades. A minute ago he said that he hopes that Mike Pence has the "courage" to do the right thing and thwart the will of the American people.
If you are unable to perceive what a damaging and dangerous precedent this contemptible thug is setting then you might as well go back to sleep.
FUN FACT: A good number of the jackasses currently attending this rally are not wearing face masks.
How nice! He just ended this rally by exhorting this crowd of extremists to march on the capital. This s going to end badly - but that is something I've been saying since Election Day 2016.
This has been the worst week of Donald Trump's presidency - which is an achievement in itself when you think about it. Only two days ago, the Washington Post released an hour-long tape of Trump attempting to extort the secretary of state of Georgia to "find" 11,780 votes (which is one vote more than he needs) in order to hand him a victory. At one point in the recording the president of the United States floats vague threats of criminal prosecution against the man for not complying with his demands. This is what is known as sedition - not to mention extortion.
At this moment Mitch McConnell is addressing the senate, vainly attempting his to convince his colleagues to accept the results of the election. He is actually the voice of reason in that party. A pig just flew by my window. Ain't politics a hoot?
When Trump addressed his silly masses only a few minutes ago, he spoke as a leader (ruler) who will be living in the executive mansion for another four years. He is wrong, of course. He has lost sixty-two legal challenges. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris will be taking the oath in exactly two weeks. What is happening on the floor of the senate right now is the attempt of a handful of politicians to gain favor with "the base". They only have their eyes on the 2024 campaign. They are doomed to fail and they know it.
What is happening to your once-great nation on January 6, 2021 is nothing short of disgusting.

Trump is a mobster and his mob is storming our Capitol.
The Beer Belly Putsch by the neo-Nazi terrorists and traitors will fail, but the radical Right's war on democracy will NEVER end.
This is a lot of effort to perpetuate this group delusion that this loud, entitled minority insist on perpetuating. They wrap themselves in the flag and hold up the Constitution like it's the Bible, then they act like this and advocate for the very opposite of what our Great Nation represents. This afternoon when many of these terrorists are in a jail cell sobering up and coming to terms with the harm they have caused people and our Republic, I hope they have a moment of clarity that, yes, they are the bad guys in this story.
Trump won't save you. He lost. There is no pardon. You are not patriots. You have crossed the line into terrorism. And it's pathetic.
I think the country needs to see this open coup played out. It ain't just words and threats anymore. The world watches horrified along with the rest of us. Trumpism and the radical Right MUST be rejected and repudiated in no uncertain way. The election will stand and justice must be done.
Remember when Maxine Waters told us to get in the face of those we disagree with, any time and any place?
Remember when a Sanders supporter tried to murder members of the GOP at their ballgame practice, with an assault weapon?
Remember when liberal, left-wing activists opposed to the nomination of Judge Kavanaugh stormed the doors of the Supreme Court?
No justice ! No peace !

I would love to see the police start shooting white people for a change and watch them get the treatment that BLM protestors have been getting. And watching Fox News anchors freaking out when they have abetted this lunatic for four years is the height of ridiculousness.
LOL
Right. Whatever, JTF.
Trump supporters break into the U.S. Capitol Building after storming the police line.

"Law and order", amirite?
The "Law and order" party storming the Capital as we speak.
Mike pence should be convening the cabinet and removing trump from office via the 25th amendment. Then the Secret service should immediately take him into custody for arrest and charged with sedition and for the injuries or deaths of anyone in this blatant coup attempt.
Prove me wrong Clucky, I DARE you to try.
All this. All of it is for Donald freaking Trump. Donald Trump. The dude from Home Alone and the Howard Stern show.
These people were whipped into a frenzy and turned into the very thing they've screeched about and whined about and projected onto the "left".
Way to go, guys. This is pathetic. Grace and integrity. Carter and Bush left with grace and integrity after they lost. What does our President do to cement his legacy as he leaves office? Foments a riots and puts people in danger.
Law and Order. Welp, hopefully when the literal smoke clears, these people get threatened the same way as the people who spray painted the Federal Courthouse in Portland were.
A woman lost her life at the capitol today. I bet trump won't even acknowledge her.

OK Woody, explain how that's relevant.
A sad Day for America..and Clucky will continue to ignore and deflect.
Mozart, it was a silly comment in light of what is going on. Trump has turned the U.S. into a banana republic in four years and his cult followers think they are actually fighting for something.
I do not see a single redeeming feature about Trump but some Conservatives see the second coming of Christ. This does not bode well for the future.
Sorry, I'm having trouble with humor right now. Not your fault.
