A lot of things happened. Here are some of the things.
After more than 24 hours of silence, Fox News hosts Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham finally addressed on their programs last night the panicked texts they’d sent to then-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows on Jan. 6 begging for Trump to do something about the Capitol attack.
Don’t think this one has fully sunk in yet: A member of Congress suggested that GOP-controlled states anoint Trump electors before those states were even called.
This wasn’t overturning the election. This was scrapping democracy before the votes were even counted.
I was wondering when we’d actually have a prominent elected gooper actually call for the end of democracy in the good old USA.
Who was it?- all of them as evidenced by their cowardly support of the orange abomination.
I watched the invasion of the Capitol on 1/6. It was covered live from the outside on msnbc and we both (Mrs darr and me) thought “Well this doesn’t look good”. And this was before we knew that there was actual violence and a physical assault on the building itself… I had heard trump’s Ellipse speech on the car radio while I was out on an errand and thought then “This guy is up to something.”
Maybe Hillary Clinton would’ve been better off had there been been journalists stationed in Benghazi. Facts seem to suggest it wouldn’t have gotten as much coverage.
Maybe Hillary Clinton should’ve sent emails about the overthrowing of American democracy back in 2016. Facts suggests it wouldn’t have gotten as much coverage.
A Colorado man who stands accused of thumping a Capitol police officer in the eye at the Jan. 6 insurrection was identified and arrested after he was seen wearing the same outfit he donned during the riot, according to federal prosecutors. The U.S. Attorney’s Office for Washington, D.C. said in a statement that Avery Carter MacCracken, 68, was arrested on Dec. 11 and hit with a string of charges related to his alleged assaults on two cops at the riot. Court documents state that MacCracken was identified by a local Colorado sheriff who had previous run-ins with the suspect. “Sheriff Masters made particular note that MacCracken, as a resident of the community, is oftentimes homeless and lives out of his vehicle,” the documents state. “He further explained he has seen MacCracken dressed in the very same clothes on multiple occasions in Telluride, as depicted in the FBI and Sedition Hunters websites.” MacCracken is currently detained pending further court proceedings, according to law enforcement.
Far too little vote fraud to tip election to Trump, AP finds.
475 cases, almost all of which were actually blocked, i.e., not counted. AP won’t say, but it’s pretty clear the majority of the actual and attempted fraud was Republicans.
“This was a riot that was unleashed, incited, and inspired by the president of the United States, which targeted the heart of American democracy” Rivera charged.

Thank you Geraldo.
And yes Discobot… “Geraldo” is the correct spelling.
And Geraldo… doing what trump did that day is called sedition.
Edit
According to @txlawyer, “obstruction of a government function”, like what trump wanted to happen at the Capitol, carries a 20 year prison term. I’d really like to see donald in “the House of Many Doors”.
