YOU don't get off the hook that easily. YOU are one of the enablers. Be ashamed.

That is the most outrageous attempt at unwarranted rationalization I can recall seeing here. It's just the same as saying she was asking to be raped because of the clothes she was wearing. The electorate is not at fault. Trump is at fault for his behavior and his supporters are at fault for theirs.

Zero evidence was stated that fraud did in fact happen. Stating that there is evidence is not the same as stating evidence. Not even close.

But unless the code is “person, woman, man, camera, TV,” are we sure he remembers what it is?

Like a vaccine, democracy will only work if a certain percentage of the population is well informed enough to sustain it. Democracy is part of the social contract, so it really only lives in the minds of people. Not in buildings or inanimate objects. So what's quite shocking here is fake news appears to be more contagious than measles. This will be more difficult to fight than covid-19.

I'd be a lot more impressed with the honesty and fortitude of some of these latecomers to the "yeah, Biden won the election" group if even one of them said "I own some of the blame for this getting so far out of hand." Not a single one of those chicken-faced politicians has done that. Lindsey Graham's speech would have been absolutely brilliant, a month ago after the Electoral College voted. Now, it's just self-serving "I'm not all bad" bullshit. Wendy P.

This post is fucking disgraceful.

Too fucking late. You don't get a pat on the back for sportingly conceding the game after it's been over for 6 weeks and your side lost. All of the stuff like this, and the staffers resigning, and Republicans making speeches decrying Trump is nothing more than shameless political maneuvering to be able to point back and say 'See? I didn't support him! Now reelect me!' Utter cowards. Black Lives Matter protests - with vandalism and looting "When the looting starts, the shooting starts!" - Donald J. Trump. Armed Insurrectionists storming the Capitol trying to overturn a legitimate election: "We love you. You're very special [...] I know how you feel." - Donald J Trump

Not until Citizens' United is overturned.

But when Trump beat Hillary, a mob didn't storm the Capitol, smash windows and plant explosives. We complained, a lot, but this is something else.

But it got them 3 SC appointments. And prevented a second Clinton presidency. And set progress back at least four years. And changed the terms of the debate. Only some of the damage can be easily undone and the culture wars are not even close to being decided in the nearly evenly divided congress. The GOP just barely lost, in two short years they stand a very good chance of taking back both chambers. They still have the left wing of the opposition to rail against and to frighten white America with. The deplorables will not abandon them. Fox news and all the rabble rousing media will find new champions. Stephan Miller and Steve Bannon will both re-group. The Proud Boys are still disgruntled and the security apparatus is still riddled with their supporters. Progress comes only in fits and starts and every day is a new chapter in a constant battle.

So tell me Ron. Back when you were serving your country, did you ever imagine that one day you would be supporting domestic terrorists trying to take over the US capital, because they were mad they lost an election?

NOW! Not in 13 days, but NOW.

I can just see it now. Trump: "Hey Ashton, I want to launch a nuke at Iran. Bastards have never respected me." Sec.Carter: "Sure thing Mr Trump. I just . . . uh . . . have to call all the other secretaries and the vice president and get them all to sign a letter, then take it to Congress. That's how it works, see!"

He TOTALLY aced that test. Right after that he took a GCS test and got a 14, which is almost the highest score you can get!

To bad they all didn't get to meet Reagan. I don't understand how they weren't fired on. Once they breached the building they should have been considered dangerous enemy combatants and they should have been given the room temperature challenge.

Hi Westerly, Actually, I care as I want all the perks as a former POTUS removed for Trump. Jerry Baumchen PS) I wonder if impeachment & conviction after he left office would do that.

But apparently there were airports . . . .

The US is a casting call for "Idiocracy 2".

Fatally wrong in every way. Yes. It completely represents the thinking of populism, trumpism. Ashamed is a adjective thats too mild in every aspect.

You’re 4 years too late using that one. Former President Obama emphatically stated upon Trump’s election that Orange is NOT the new Black!

Of course it does. For everyone else it just highlights what a slimy, two faced little toad he is. He has the gall to talk about shared respect for the system?

It's possible to be both clueless AND a troll.

Yup. More than 100 politicians voted to protest results and GOP state media has already pivoted to blame today’s violence on Antifa infiltration of nice Trump supporters.

It would be good if Trump could be removed before signing a bunch of pardons.

The forthrightness of the language. You have a mad on and I love it.

Half a day. Lucky bastard they don't have our Mod's on the job.

What, the language, or the thinking that storming the capitol in a petulant fit is fucking shameful? Wendy P.

Trump not allowed into Scotland to escape Biden inauguration, Sturgeon warns https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/trump-biden-inauguration-scotland-sturgeon-lockdown-b1782602.html Can't blame the Scots for not wanting a superspreader (of lies & COVID-19) in their country.

Trump isn’t the problem here. Trump is an asshole. And corrupt. And probably a criminal. That’s not news to anyone. But there are systems in place that are supposed to deal with that circumstance.... the problem is that the people in THOSE systems are so invested in the power of the presidency that they’re not doing what they’re supposed to. The system is broken. The ‘checks and balances’ philosophy is utter,utter bullshit. The last four years have proven that most politicians will absolutely sell their country down the Swanee for personal power. The Senate should be demanding Trump appears in front of them first thing today to explain himself, but will they? Of course not. Will they even go on record saying that the call sounds like an abuse of power? Of course not... They’ll sit there and say things like ‘potentially very troubling’ or ‘I haven’t heard it’, or even worse try and defend the President because they’re completely morally bankrupt. Assholes.

There was a man from Kent whose virus' sequence was bent. It made one no sicker, but passed on much quicker, so faster and faster it went.

i haven't had a pelvic fracture, but a few years ago one of my lumbar discs herniated / displaced. It was very painful for a few days, then moderately painful for a few weeks, then settled down to a numbness in my left leg / foot that is still there and may be there for the rest of my life. The neurosurgeon said if i can live with it it is not worth the surgery. Not sure what sharing that is useful for.
