President-elect Biden speaking now.

Maybe that will prompt Trump to get off his ass and into the Oval Office to address the nation.

Of course, he’ll just start lying, complaining and airing his grievances like the whiny little bitch he is.

In other words, trump got caught trying to stop the mobilization, only to realize that his blocking did nothing because Northam was quite happy to send over VA NG, and it only made it more obvious that trump was trying to support the insurrection, so he backed down and pretended he supported it all along.

Trump must be arrested and removed from office. He is an enemy of America.
Hawley and Cruz must be impeached.

They’re waiting for AntiFa to show up as it’s been well established that they are the real problem, especially when they start in with intimidating Proud Boys and stuff.

That is also my comment, those rabid socialists trying to take over America.

This shows who are the real traitors.

Exactly. Gov. Hogan of Maryland joined Gov. Northram in sending troops.

Trump’s attempt at a putsch is being repelled by neighboring state governors.

I have to think a lot of political careers came to a screeching halt today.

Trump actually has little influence over them right now, and he probably knows it.

So there is no way in hell he is going to make an public plea and have ignored, showing him as weak yet again.

If it weren’t whining Trump would have nothing to say.

I have a lot of questions about the Capitol police’s role in all of this, and that of the Dept. of Homeland Security. Capitol police seem to have initially been almost completely missing in action. trumpers were wandering around inside the Senate and House unimpeded, still are, as far as I know, ransacking desks and doing god only knows what else. How on earth did that happen? It’s not like there hasn’t been plenty of warning that violence would erupt in DC today. And where was Homeland Security? Shouldn’t they have been coordinating protection across DC?
