Yeah, I don't see that being a good idea
Man, you just get darker and darker, and the weird thing is, your aura? Beige.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Meanwhile, the NYT just called it for Ossoff! This is certainly a whiplash kind of news day.

I'm really glad my neighbors didn't put up Trump signs, I tell you what. Would not be feeling as safe as I do if anyone had. Any of you who may not be as lucky, be careful.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I'm pretty sure we'll get through the next few days without a successful coup. But if we don't get some goddamned consequences in place, this will just happen again until it works. Arrest all of the mob. Prosecute them. Put them in jail. Arrest Tr**p for inciting insurrection and treason. Prosecute him. Put him in jail. No one gets to skate. No "healing" or "unity" or "coming together".
People have just attempted to destroy the country. They need to experience consequences. This isn't just me being pissy about norms or whatever. Right now that mob is getting attention, they're scaring people they hate, and the Capitol cops are taking selfies with them. There's one person in the mob who got shot, but we don't even know by which side (this is not a group famous for trigger discipline). Even though I don't think they'll achieve their ultimate aims today, this is still a rollicking good time for them, and they have every incentive to keep trying until they get what they want. We need to change that.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Oh yeah, that video message from Trump is really going to help. Asshole.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
It's...something else that the VA National Guard is on the way to clear out invaders in the Capitol, some of whom are waving Confederate flags.
I've got MSNBC running on my iPad while I'm trying to work because I'm able to be slightly more productive than when I was just scrolling Twitter for updates.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Trump literally said "I love you" to the traitors occupying the Capitol.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
He also reiterated "stolen election" and that he "know(s) how they feel"!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Trump literally said "I love you" to the traitors occupying the Capitol.
I hope they'll be very happy together. In prison.

Who do we have in DC? Toddson, Fred (who I saw post earlier), Sheryl?
