Trump supporters storm the Capitol Building

God, that would almost make me like Pence. Almost.

Thrag:

I so so want Pence to tell Trump he’ll pardon him if he resigns and then tell him to go fuck himself the moment after his resignation is final.

Hey, that’s been my fantasy for several weeks. Hopefully, Pence deliver the news with this quote.

LOL. Give that man a medal.

Source confirms to me that Secretary of State Mike Pompeo cancelled his Europe trip after Luxembourg’s foreign minister called Trump a criminal and EU officials declined to meet him — simply unprecedented.

Extra fun if Pence were to give him a fake pardon document that Trump only later would find out was worthless.

Yes, even if it is for 12 hours, 1 minute, or even after the January 20th due to procedure, there needs to be a bookmark put in for this moment for the future such that when all the tribal leaders are far in the past, everyone can agree that Jan 6th was a line crossed. I also want that bookmark for any future would be tyrant looking to ride misinformation and “economic anxiety” into tyranny.

Galaxy Brain fun: The fake pardon is actually a denunciation of Trump and list of his crimes.
Trump releases the “pardon” to the news anyway.

Well he certainly couldn’t be bothered to read it himself

Weird how you have to pick and choose impeachable crimes with DJT. There’s at least one every week, sometimes several a day.

One impeachable crime is a tragedy. A thousand impeachable crimes is a Trump presidency.

The pardon could be from Trump University.

crazy but true: it feels like a dam breaking when three - THREE - of 212 House Republicans announce they’ll support impeaching a president who just incited an armed insurrection at the Capitol that put their lives in danger

Abe Lincoln, Lowell Weicker, George Romney, Everett Dirksen and John Lindsay are not walking through that door.

Pence should just have him sign a confession. Tell him it’s a blanket pardon. Make the print small and fine. Have a ceremony. Hide his reading glasses. He’s too prideful to try and find them with people watching.

I’m thinking ‘censure’ is off the table, but I may be wrong.

Incredible how these public officials can’t resist being assholes on social media. If I tweeted about my workplace, I’d be fired. Somehow I’m able to resist doing that.

Don’t you just love it when the writers use reoccurring minor characters to tie events together and give them context.

Daryl Brooks, one of Rudy Giuliani’s witnesses at the Four Seasons Total Landscaping press conference, posted on Facebook claiming to be rioting inside of the Capitol building today. He then deleted it and claimed he’d been hacked. (First image sent to me from a source): https://t.co/N4ffJnizC4

Several GOP sources tell CNN that if McConnell supports conviction, Trump almost certainly will be convicted by 67 senators in the impeachment trial. "If Mitch is a yes, he's done," said one Senate GOP source who asked not to be named. cnn.com/2021/01/12/pol…

MAGA World leaning heavily into secession, which further illustrates their inability to do basic math.

They think/hope Texas will secede and they can form their perfect country with Trump as their Emperor.

They have no idea how anything works.

I can only assume this is going to be Mitch McConnell fucking with the Democrats, since that’s, like, all he’s ever been good at. I can hope otherwise - because Trump kind of could have gotten him killed last week - but this is Mitch McConnell.
