I never in a thousand years imagined the scene I witnessed yesterday in our nation's Capitol. Disgusted isn't even a strong enough word for how I feel. What a dark day for our nation. <br /><br />Trump needs to be removed from office in handcuffs TODAY. I can't understand why it hasn't happened already. And I want to see all those rioters and looters arrested with the strongest possible charges brought against them. Every single one of them should face maximum penalties for their crimes. <br /><br />I'm so thankful that we'll have a new President and a new majority Senate in less than two weeks.

This is how all fascist regimes start. The police were out in incredible force to clear the BLM and other demonstrators when Trump (I now have difficulty even calling him President) walked to the Cenotaph or when George Floyd was killed. Not bringing in reinforcements early was, presumably a decision by someone and that seems be an alert of great danger to me.

But of course Trump is ultimately responsible, and he should face consequences. At the very least Twitter should turn him off entirely until after Jan. 20. That sounds minor, and it's not enough by itself, but it will strike at the heart of Trump's ability to communicate with his cultists and it will puncture his diseased ego as well.<br /><br />I am not concerned in the least bit about Covid spreading in that crowd.

The US are not showing themselves in the best light at the moment. As for your comment about spreading covid through rioting, those sort of people probably believe covid is a hoax.

It isn't as though my comments were in any way inflammatory. I feel I was just expressing the truth as right-minded people must see it. Perhaps my use of words such as megalomania, egomania, et al, have flagged up somewhere?<br />The position of President in any democratic country is one of trust and one of dignity - neither quality the present incumbent has ever displayed. He should have conceded victory to his opponent and stepped back graciously, as those before him have. Not stirred up the mob to storm the Capitol. His behaviour is appalling, but what can you expect from a former TV Reality Show Host? That, I think, says it all. His term of office will surely go down as a very dark period in America's history.<br /><br />Coppa's girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16459503600694841117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-73735152868344822021-01-07T12:01:25.019+00:002021-01-07T12:01:25.019+00:00Just a point of clarity from an earlier comment: t...Just a point of clarity from an earlier comment: the President never did call in the National Guard. Initially, when Pelosi and Bowser (DC Mayor) called for the NG, they were turned down. Finally, Vice President Pence authorized it. Too little. Too late. <br /><br />The same could be said of far too many Republicans. Too little. Too late. History will show that the majority of Republicans (particularly leadership) have for more than four years allowed mob rule to cower them into submission to the demands of a demented tyrant and brought the nation to the precipice of destroying the fabric of our republic. Yesterday's shameful and disgusting display of viciousness against democracy is Trump's ultimate black hearted legacy.

When I woke up at 3 AM (never you mind why, it doesn't matter), I took a look at the phone. Of the 13 senators who vowed to challenge the electoral count, only 7 remained. Those seven were soundly blasted not just by democrats but by their own party. These events may be the unifying force that gets us out of these terrible days. This morning, I see that the bastard in charge is swearing to an orderly transition of power. Little late for that. His name is writ in the history books and he will be known from this day on as the most corrupt president in history. After his 62 second speech telling the rioters to go home, while also telling them that he understood their anger at the stolen election and calling them great people, his twitter account should be suspended. We should hear that voice whining from our televisions ever again. He is a traitor.
