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.
Oh yeah, that video message from Trump is really going to help. Asshole.
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.
Trump literally said "I love you" to the traitors occupying the Capitol.
He also reiterated "stolen election" and that he "know(s) how they feel"!

I hope they'll be very happy together. In prison.
Who do we have in DC? Toddson, Fred (who I saw post earlier), Sheryl?
Yes, and that he won in a "landslide." Big help, yeah. I was literally shaking with rage.
Just when I think I can't hate him more he proves me wrong.
Yes yes yes Teppy Dana sj Amy Susan. That speech (which I admittedly didn't hear all of because I'm watching C-SPAN and the anchor just literally cut the stream in mid-sentence) is incitement. MORE incitement, to violence and sedition.
2021 did us a solid yesterday, but overall it is not impressing me so far. It's fucking terrifying me.
