Remove him from office TODAY
imo
tbrr

cruz is apparently asking for donations right now, so there's that

i feel like they'd get more than just romney if they had another impeachment trial.

seems worth it, if only to keep him busy for the next two weeks.

CNN projects Ossoff winner in GA.

this fucking country. why even bother with it.

Get the fuck out of here with this shit for now, please.

yeah i hope they fucking do and look even more idiotic after all this

i bet cruz continues to object because his kink is how much literally all of his colleagues hat him

I've lost count of how many times I thought I couldn't hate him any more only to be proven wrong

*hate xp

I am seriously concerned that down this road is an assassination attempt

As long as it's on Trump that's fine.

“Go home, you’re very special”

Lmao

The D.C. Capitol Police are literally marching with the rioters. https://t.co/8QeHRbWjEl

i wondered that upthread. on the one hand, it's hard to explain how you suddenly changed your mind on the objections. on the other, Republicans have never cared about being walking contradictions. and on the third (dick) hand, now they're afraid of getting shot the fuck up and might wanna get it done quicker.

It's almost as if...cops...are mostly on side of...fascist thugs...because they're fascist thugs.

weird to think about

lmao

Laura can you tweet about Politics @bbclaurak this isn’t a reality show you are reporting about it’s real life facts and news!

Love how Trump's tweet gets a blaring red disclaimer text denoting it as total bullshit and is disbarred from being interacted with in any from due to risk of inciting IRL violence... but good ol' Jack and the twitter moderation staff still don't see that as justification enough to just close and ban the fucking account altogether already.

funny, I said on twitter that all Trump voters should die last night and I was banned in seconds.

He'll be banned Jan 21

Lol @ Trump's statement - you gotta respect him sticking to his message.

I am with my wife's family, some of whom are likely Trump supporters, and I need to be on good behavior but I want to get blind drunk so bad.

there's footage of a woman - one of the protesters - looking like she's been fatally shot in the capitol. might be of interest to some of you the way you've been posting

(but we can't talk about stabbing keith on the uk thread, grumble grumble)

You could call them murderous loons and leave?

xxxxxpost well, they can't finish tonight if they're gonna object. it was likely to go into the wee hours to begin with.

so hopefully that means this charade is through.

25th tomorrow.

amusingly, my mom is radicalizing as an antifa-in-training before my eyes. the things she's saying I never would have expected to come out of her mouth in the 80s. she was screaming at the TV.

My mom too! She voted for Bush in 2004, Obama in 2008 & 2016, put up a Black Lives Matter flag last year and is now putting up antifa stuff on her FB page.

Go mrs Neanderthal

I wish I could say the same of my mom.

CNN calling it a coup event -- damn.

yeah, I was surprised by the boldness of some of the networks today. ABC, one misstep otherwise noted upthread, were pretty fired up and angrier than I've heard anybody in press live on air in a hot minute

again, too late, but...

Obama in 2012, obviously. She drives me crazy sometimes but she's not THAT crazy to have voted for him in 2016.

don't really feel like hearing the phrase "this is not who we are" again tbh

oh wow.

My wife said MSNBC was a shitshow and continued calling them "protestors" for way too long.

This was probably shared already, but just in case:

These rioters didn't "break down barriers" they were let in by DCPolice:

they didn’t “breach” or “storm” the capitol building THEY WERE LET IN pic.twitter.com/SVeo6BcFV0

Lol @ Trump's statement - you gotta respect him sticking to his message.

correction: you do not, under any circumstances, gotta etc etc

what the fuck

The inevitable "it was a false flag, it was actually Antifa!" bullshit has begun

damn those sneaky antifas

they've been saying it since this morning.

every antifa member has a stockpile of MAGA gear & confederate flags so they can riot and make Trump look bad
