By the way, do we have a Ted Cruz statement on today’s events? Jes’ wondering.

Meanwhile, the stuff I am reading is wild, I don’t want to use that word now, but lack of better drives me to it.

The discussion on Pence was the one who released the DOD to send the guard is particularly fascinating.

I think you’re dissing Mr. Haney. Cruz is not quite a Bond villain, maybe a Bond villains henchman?

Dismayed that the Capitol, our people’s Capitol, was invaded and looted; proud that the Congress will do its job. Really it’s only Hawley and Cruz that are on the very highest rung of my shit list today.

I think of Mr. Haney every time I hear the man speak. If I had a voice and accent like that, I would have spent a lot of effort cultivating it away. But then I am not even sure that voice is real or just something he does to appeal to the rubes here in Texas.

That has been described as a de facto invocation of the 25th amendment.

He has retreated so far into his shell that no one can see or hear him.

Let’s have the vote. The Republican Party needs to be destroyed. It is not just today but there willingness to accept the past four years (one can actually say the past 60 years of lies). Enough.

I can definitely see him playing it up or down, depending on his audience. My sincerest wish is for Cruz and Hawley to get censured, at the very least, and would hope for a much stiff consequence. Both of these guys know better, but they chose not to act better.

The only statement I want to hear from Ted Cruz is a short two words: “I resign.”

That’s letting him off to easily. I want to hear him admit his complicity in a court of law. Along with Hawley, of course.

Couldn’t be more proud of her. I thought they might delay, but this is the right decision.
