President Trump doubled down on his bid to overturn the election result in a Wednesday video, telling an angry mob that breached the Capitol building in a bid to overturn the election results, “I know how you feel.”
OK Mitch. Mike. Your flaccid return to norms at this late hour is not enough. Take out the trash!
I’m withholding judgement until Susan Collins weighs in.

YaketyYak don’t let Trump talk back.
I’m calling it like I see it.
MOTHERFUCKING SEDITIOUS SON OF A BITCH.
The hypocritcal “walk-back” indicates Trump is not omnipotent. And after 20 January 2021, he will be removed from Power and Relevance.
Now if you’ll excuse me I’ll be spending the next hour cleaning the spewl off my laptop.
BTW Thanks a lot, you hilarious bastard!*
*I mean that in the best possible sense, of course.
Trump is sitting in the Oval Office wacking his weenie while talking to Putin and smiling.
The silence of the Republicans is deafening. They should be on every news channel and every network denouncing Trump and his insurrection.
We must say enough — enough! He has betrayed our national security, and he will do so again. He has compromised our elections, and he will do so again. You will not change him. You cannot constrain him. He is who he is. Truth matters little to him. What’s right matters even less, and decency matters not at all.

Power yes but has he ever been relevant?
Important to remember, this IS the Republican party. This is what Cruz and Hawley supported today.
The GOP congress has aided, abetted and excused trump for 4 long years. No surprise here, djt has continually encouraged violence and demonized our citizens. Today even Pence had his turn to be mean tweeted.
I can not tell TPM I told you so.
My wife can tell I called this.
How could anyone not think this was going to happen.
There is nothing left to be said about this cancerous tumor of a man. This was his Gettysburg address.
But, but, but … I’m sure Louie Gohmert (R-Asshole) is surprised.

He’s learned his lesson.

Impeach him now. Make the Senate ‘creatures’ vote on this. Trump said he LOVED these fools. Good God.
The man has a mental pathology. Many thought that before, but it is now clear. RIP. Actually, no, crush the bastard.
I think we may be edging toward 25th Amendment territory here. Not yet likely, I think, but have a look at this post by Charlie Savage, from the NY Times live coverage:
The Pentagon has issued a curious statement in the name of Chris Miller, the acting secretary of defense, in which he says that he and the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff had spoken with Pence, Pelosi, McConnell, Schumer and Hoyer about the situation at the Capitol – a list that notably does not include Trump. “We have fully activated the D.C. National Guard to assist federal and local law enforcement as they work to peacefully address the situation,” Miller said. “We are prepared to provide additional support as necessary and appropriate as requested by local authorities. Our people are sworn to defend the constitution and our democratic form of government and they will act accordingly.”
