    MSNBC reporting the President in a bunker mentality.

    Became very agitated when advisors told him to call off his supporters during the break in to the capitol.

    "Why is everyone upset with my protesters? Haven't we seen this all summer from Black Lives Matter?"

    He's convinced himself that the lie is truth - he's a sociopath. He truly now believes that the election was stolen from him.

    He was raised on daddy's money. He's never had to face consequences, ever.

    Trump University? Trump Casinos? Trump Steaks? All those failures (and more) weren't his fault.

    Just like losing this election isn't his fault, so there must be another explanation.

    Yeah...I got nothing.

    Whatever Trump hoped (hopes?) to accomplish with challenges to the vote, there's nothing to be gained by pressing it further, and his stoking the flames yesterday has had embarrassing consequences. He didn't stage a coup, but he is directly responsible for motivating the rioting at our capitol.

    He's stated that there will be an orderly transition, and I hope he's sincere. The best thing he could do for himself and the country is to just shut up and fade away. He'll be lucky at this point if he can succeed in just doing that.

    Don't get me wrong. I'm grateful for the handful of things Trump accomplished that I wanted, but I agree with those who say it would be better if he were gone.

    So, I got a facebook messenger message from a grade school friend. It seems another friend, who probably blocked me because I haven't seen his posts in years, was in Washington yesterday. The pics on his facebook page only show him and the crowd walking through the streets, but I unfriended him anyway. Then, was reading current posts and a coworker posted a pic of an insurgent standing on the steps inside the Capitol and ... tried to tag him, but his name was clearly there with her asking him what he was doing. I got a screencapture of the pic and his name. If the FBI asks for pics anyone has gathered, I'll send it.

    Yeah but you have to actually kill the animals to do it. Arthur would beat the shit out of an army of these twunts, even two minutes before the TB took him.

    As I said upthread, Cohen pointed this out in his book - Trump had him rig a poll but within an hour of the result genuinely believed he'd gotten there on merit.

    Anyone else concerned that the traitors are only being charged with "unlawful entry"?

    What happened to insurrection?

    This Trumpist bullshit needs to be stamped out forcefully and quickly, or it's just going to fester and there really will be a civil war.

    What do you care? You've been shitting on this country for years, now all of the sudden you care? Get fucked. And where were you this summer when there were riots all across the country? I didn't see your outrage then. I didn't see you call them traitors or terrorists and I didn't see you call it an insurrection then. Is it only an act of terrorism, treason and insurrection when it's Trump supporters?

    It's only an act of treason and insurrection if they're attempting to overthrow the government. BLM weren't doing that, they were demanding the government change policy.

    Now you might have had a point had you limited it to terrorism. But usually terrorism is aimed at the civilian populace to force change. Most BLM activity was aimed squarely at the cops or the authorities.
