I wouldn’t be surprised if the Trump lackies in the Senate withdraw their objections to the swing state certifications now.
Lifted from another forum... “Putin must be roaring with laughter in the Kremlin. Even in his wildest dreams, he could never have thought that his little pet project would be so successful in destroying the very soul of his enemy.”
Insurrection, sedition....not to mention breaking and entering for a number of them. I hope they catch and prosecute them all. Yeah, Trump said he was all about law & order. My arse.....
I agree, figwold. It made me sad but it also made me hopeful. OMG, I just now am listening to Trump's "speech" to the protestors, many of whom are rioters. Unbelievable. He just poured more fuel on the fire by focusing on the "stolen" election results under the guise of telling his "fans" to go home. I'd say more but I'll stop there. Edit: Just looked at the tweet that Sprinter provided the link for. This is the "speech" to which I was referring.
The side of our nation and the Constitution. And that's not the side of the person who is currently the president.
I'm sure his "handlers" finally convinced him that this would make him look better. The news reports said that Trump was in his office fuming about Mike Pence not overturning the Electoral College vote--which he can't even do.
Many, I hope. He has certainly been enabled by many around him for whatever their own reasons. But the buck stops with him.
I’m genuinely sorry you’re having to see this happening in your country, Sandi. My family in NY is distraught.
Thanks, learningtofly. I appreciate your words. I've gone from incredulous to furious to crying my eyes out all in less than two hours. I really shouldn't be surprised that it has come to this. When I first learned over four years ago that Donald Trump was running for president my response was, "He's running for president because we don't have a monarchy or a dictatorship in the United States".
And I just polished off a whole bag of potato chips--the regular (well, large) size, not those little bags you get with the sandwich. Stress eating.......
This is why, no matter how good you are at it. It is necessary to spend 1/2 of your time following societies path, and, 1/2 the time thinking for your self. If your think your fully free thinking, or, you just follow those around you. You to could end up on that balcony ffs.
