He will always have his "very good people" whom he "loves", but some of the more moderate members of his coalition are finally denouncing him (Lindsey Graham and others). And one hopes that his more moderate voters are waking up as well. He has done a lot of awful, unlawful, crazy, unforgiveable things over the past four years, but an assault on the US Capitol may finally wake up some of the less deranged Republicans. I pray he will be impeached and never allowed to run for public office again.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15572905521059358017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3250333507042547703.post-51046580116050949102021-01-08T10:43:10.277-08:002021-01-08T10:43:10.277-08:00this was all coordinated with the White House.

Trump knew this was going to happen and encouraged it, helped it by refusing to allow the police to be prepared and ordered the DoD not to send the National Guard. regardless of what happens to Trump in the next week, they plan another attack, and are very open and vocal about it, for the inauguration (no wonder Trump won't be there) and this one they claim will be bigger and with weapons. they had every intention of grabbing Pence, Pelosi, and Schumer shouting where are they while people inside the Capitol directed them to the appropriate offices including the office of the Parliamentarian which they trashed expecting to find the EC votes to destroy them.ellen abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535475792150335186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3250333507042547703.post-38660548808037479812021-01-08T08:54:41.803-08:002021-01-08T08:54:41.803-08:00Oh, and that guy with the furry headdress on is fr...Oh, and that guy with the furry headdress on is from Arizona.

Good to know we will have a much stronger justice department in a few weeks and maybe they can get to the bottom of decisions made about security. I heard the Capitol police refused two offers of assistance.Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07645915869786296771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3250333507042547703.post-90454484614637218232021-01-07T07:50:19.927-08:002021-01-07T07:50:19.927-08:00Yesterday's happenings have left me without wo...Yesterday's happenings have left me without words other than - I don't understand. Why, when it turned from a protest to a riot, nobody did anything. Why someone allowed that video of trump loving the terrorists out on Twitter or even allowed it to be made, to be released. A lot of people need to be arrested for actions supporting terrorism and sedition including the president. pam nashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07527172289267589196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3250333507042547703.post-53659932447889288982021-01-07T05:22:32.920-08:002021-01-07T05:22:32.920-08:00I agree.

But they can't just open the doors and let the thugs walk the halls! There must be consequences, for law enforcement (I hesitate to even USE that term) and for Trump, who of course bears ultimate responsibility.Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3250333507042547703.post-86534582797556939422021-01-07T05:11:47.340-08:002021-01-07T05:11:47.340-08:00O feel like 37paddington.

Why did they let these thugs desecrate our capital with no repercussions. I am angry and so very very sad.

I believe Twitter suspended Trump's account.<br />We must let him finish his term, somehow. Else the followers will think he was ripped from the womb, or something. But Congress had better spend the next term also figuring out how to produce a vote that cannot look to be subverted.<br />Joanne Noragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16601010208310707750noreply@blogger.com
