Where was this condemnation before Trump’s criminal mob trashed the United States Capitol?

I would guess that would be the two other bozos in this deplorebel soap opera.
Beavis and Butthead.

Not gonna work. Steps will be taken, even if it involves bloodshed.
But Trump will be tried.

Those two aren’t in the Senate and couldn’t get in on a dare. So yeah, my guess is Cruz and Hawley are shunned. As well they should be.

I don’t really have a problem with that. He’d be completely miserable there, trapped in the Melania-designed prison while the State of New York systematically dismantles his real estate “business” (at this point, I suspect it’s little more than a house of cards and a money-laundering operation). He’s going to get cut off from all sources of spending money. What competent attorney will represent him, knowing that he or she won’t get paid? I see a string of default judgments in his future if he goes to ground in Florida. And no trips to any other golf courses.

They are being shunned by their fellow Republicans in hopes that putting their heads on spikes might mitigate the other Republicans problems. Not going to work. We know who they are and we are coming for every last one of them.

During an interview on “Meet the Press,” Toomey — who became the second Republican senator to call on Trump to resign after Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) — was pressed on the kind of responsibility he holds for Hawley and Cruz in light of the Capitol riots.
“They’re going to have a lot of soul searching to do,” Toomey said.
Soul searching? I absolutely guarantee that you will never find one. Even if you did find a tattered and deeply injured soul, that in itself would be inadequate. These assholes need to be censured by the Senate and they must be required to publicly admit their sedition and apologize to the entire nation. Nothing less than that. If they can’t do that, then the Senate should expel them…but that’s never going to happen, because Mitch and the GOP are all about power and party over country.

Mitch isn’t in power in less than 10 days. Schumer will be. What happens next is entirely up to him. I think he should kick 'em all to the curb, but it’s not up to me.

Would love to see them try. The least of Trump problems would then be his neighbors and their stated decision to see him gone from Mar-a-Wrongo.

I think the clowns who trashed the buildings are being treated too seriously by the media. This gives them more credit than they warrant. I like the tone of Caitlin Flanagan’s article in The Atlantic. Ridicule and scorn is what they and their leaders deserve.

I’ll feel better once the Georgia counties certify their election (deadline the 15th), and Raffensburger certifies the state (deadline the 22nd). A couple of reports say he’s trying to get it done before the 20th.
I’ll feel better but Mitch won’t.

Raff is gonna make sure all the t’s are crossed, the i’s are dotted and there’s no jiggery that can be dug up. Neither race ended up inside the margin to require a re-count and it seems that both R candidates are slinking off into the primordial ooze they came from without so much as a whimper.
GA should take note of that. These two didn’t even quibble for a moment or, if I’m not mistaken, thank the people of GA for giving them a chance at this, which is what good losers would do.
Then again, we are talking Perdue and Loeffler. She probably wasn’t programmed for defeat, anyway and Perdue is probably looking at charges for his insider trading and some prison time.

I’d like to hope that one of the ‘acts of self reflection’ that comes from this a look at the role that the media also has in spreading and sometimes legitimizing these disingenuous claims of fraud. Because for most of the right-wing ’influencers’ and politicians these claims are being made disingenuously. Yet all a right-winger has to do is make an accusation no matter how baseless or how little they really believe it, and most of our media will treat them as being genuine and thus giving it credence to many people.
The entire ‘stolen election’ narrative is built on the fundamental idea that claims are truth, and thus the more people that claim something is further proof of it’s truth. You can’t reason that our of the people that will buy that line of reasoning, but you sure as hell can stop giving voice to those that disingenuously spread those claims to further their political goals.

I think there were two groups involved in the riots - one large group of idiots and clowns looking for a party, and a much smaller group of trained insurgents looking to do real damage. The challenge will be finding and permanently crippling that smaller group. Also need to identify the funding source for the riots - as usual, qui bono?

But I suspect that behind the clowns, there are some considerably more sinister ringmasters, and we dismiss them at our peril.

they are seeking more self respect than those labels
