will be..........enlightening......to see which, if any, republicans will challenge the electors after the insurrection.

Many are changing their minds....cowards and traitors.  They should be censured.

How is it that even though everyone knew there would be a march to the Capitol and that it could be violent, the security aparatus was unprepared?  Evidently, the decision was to leave the defense of the Capitol during this essential function entirely to the Capitol police who are about the equivalent of museum guards.  If that's true then it looks like they were set up to fail.  In the event the cops treated the putschists with kid gloves.  How come hundreds were not arrested?  They weren't merely trespassers they commit the felony of obstructing the government in carrying out its lawful function among other probable felonies.

 

So, the take-home message for the Trumpists is that they can get away with attacking the government without consequences.  So, expect to see more of it in the future.

They're talking about this now on the news.  Guaranteed, heads will roll over this.  Very poor protection by the forces there, especially knowing what was coming.

President Biden needs to form a Task Force to study how Germany deprogrammed its citizenry after the fall of hitler. Germany went from the epitome of evil to a civilized, decent and respected nation. President Biden needs to study how that was done, how Germany turned its nation around, erased the hypnotism or whatever it was that created the evil cult of naziism.

 

What we saw today is the same epitome of evil, perhaps just the cusp, but a movement clearly on the same path that Germany found itself on in the 1930s, culminating in the horror of the 1940s, the blitzgrieg, the death camps, the wanton destruction. 45 is no less evil, and if unfettered, he would be what that little sign painter was. About that there is no doubt. 45 is evil.

 

The cult that 45 controls must be deprogrammed. They have lost touch with reality, and are easily led by a Pied Piper of Fascism, who is at his core an abject coward. 45's cult---and it is nothing less than a cult like the Peoples Temple of Jonestown--- currently lack the ability for rational thought, and are susceptible to the most wild-eyed madness and conspiracy theories.

 

The US must learn from Germany. The US must move beyond the madness and insanity of 45's cult and set itself again on the path to decency and civilization.

One of the most insane rants I've read on TVF in a long time.

Trump gave his , Lets all go to Capital Hill speech just before this mob went there. He

should be immediately locked up in jail for his actions.

  If he was not President, maybe that would have happened. I do hope that his

lawyer friend gets to see jail, as his speech was also inciteful .  What a shameful 

day in American history.  I agree that no one thought that Americans would actually

raid the Capital building as they did. I do hope that all who were inside the building get

to go to jail, and be criminals for the rest of their lives. America,  the world is watching, so

what will you do to show how important democracy is, letting everyone off the hook

certainly is not the answer. I do believe that many of them will have a mob of law

enforcers show up at their homes and an interesting visit will happen.

  Next few days will be interesting  for sure.  Lots of news stories...

Geezer

He's spot on.  These rioters are mentally unstable.  You have to be if you fall for Trump's lies.  Which are easily proven as such.

People are angry? What exactly are these "senses"? It's not going to work out well? Yhat has the feel of a threat..

 

All these "deplorables" have taken a step too far.. They are the brainwashed "sheeple"..

 

There will be a reckoning. There will be arrests. Many. Nobody is in doubt now that a "legislative" coup attempt is still a coup attempt. I foresee significant numbers of his base moving away from him at double-time.

 

No more patience for these people. They have been telegraphing this type of action for a long time.

 

Patriots? No. Seditious riff-raff..

People are following the Constitution in challenging electors and you and others are calling them out as seditious for attempting a "legislative" coup?

 

In nearly 150 years, Electoral College votes have been objected to four separate times, three of which were in the last 20 years and all four times Electoral College votes have been objected by Democrats.

What were you saying about "brainwashed sheeple?"

What I expect is that in the next twenty years the US will break apart.  There is going to be a constitutional crisis driven by a coming demographic shift.  Within twenty years fifty percent of voters will live in eight states.  Since they will have migrated there they will be migrating to urban centers where the good jobs are.  And they will be or will become Democrats, since all the major urban centers are Democratic.  But the Electoral College will continue to allow the Republicans, who are a minority, to control the White House.  It will continue to be impossible to amend the Constitution to abolish the Electoral College, so the situation will become intolerable.  

 

The only way to fix it will be a new constitutional convention to write a new consitution, but I don't think America is capable of the level of compromise available in 1787 to write a new constitution.  So, the red states will separate from the Union.

He's not talking about rioters and you know that.  He's talking about deprogramming people who support a President he doesn't like.  That, in my opinion, is mentally unstable.

Considering what happened today, deprogramming is a necessity.  They fall for the lies of a politician.  Something needs to be done.  Guaranteed mentally unstable.

OMG!!!  What is wrong with these people.  This is sedition, plain and simple.  Lock them up.  Along with those who've been feeding them misinformation.  Trump and his enablers.

King George III in 1776 thought of American patriots the same way you think of American patriots today.  No different.  Lots of people in America during that time who sided with the British.  All depends on what side of the fence you're on.  Or, to put it another way, it's simply a matter of perspective.  Granted, one perspective in this case is seriously out of whack.

Narcissism is a mental disorder.  As is being incapable of caring about anyone.  As is telling dozens of lies every day.

So, let me get this straight - you're OK with him inciting the violence that just occurred at the nation's capitol?

CNN reports that some cabinet members are in preliminary discussions to remove Trump from office by invoking the 25th Amendment.  It would take eight out of the fifteen Cabinet members plus Pence.  Somehow I think Pence could be persuaded.  Getting the eight would be harder.

No. 100% accurate and necessary.

 

If you cannot see that the actions of 45's terrorist brigade today are not cult-like, then you just don't get it.

 

I am in contact with members of President-elect Biden's transition. My idea is not unique. They know that deprogramming of 45's cult is necessary if the US is ever going to heal. They also know that those who broke laws, even if elected officials, must be prosecuted. There will be no 'moving on' and ignoring what 45 and his enablers have done.
