Riot Police Pushing Trump Mob Away From U.S. Capitol -- January 6, 2021

Today I was deeply ashamed to see CNN refer to a "Trump Mob" as it stormed the Capitol. 

Yesterday Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff both won the Senatorial run-offs in Georgia, giving the Democrats control of the Senate.

Today Congress was meeting to accept the votes from the electoral college. Trump invited his supporters like the Proud Boys to come to Washington today. He held a big rally to stir up the morons, still claiming that the election Several Republicans were going to contest the results, but then the "Trump Mob" of domestic terrorists invaded the Capitol. One woman was shot and killed. Legislators were evacuated or locked in to the gallery. The Capitol had not been attacked since the War of 1812. 

The Capitol Police were not prepared. At first, the National Guard was not called up. 

Our so-called President has checked out and people are seriously discussing invoking the 25th Amendment or having another impeachment. 

After he posted another lying video that sort of asked the protesters to back off, Twitter suspended Trump's account.  About time. 

End the Trump Shutdown -- January 24, 2019

There, I finally typed the name of our so-called president.  This has dragged on for over a month and done great harm to federal workers and our economy.  Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi has stood firm and remembered the words of Ronald Reagan: "We do not negotiate with terrorists."

If our so-called president had any sense, he would negotiate a deal to resign and stay out of prison.  But he doesn't have any sense, particularly of honor. #treason

Corruption -- August 22, 2018

New York Daily News, 22-August-2018

When will the House do its duty and start the impeachment proceedings?  If our so-called president had a sense of honor, he would resign now.

No Prior President Has Ever Abased Himself More Abjectly Before a Tyrant -- July 16, 2018

Our so-called president committed treason today.  I'll just quote Senator John McCain:

“Today’s press conference in Helsinki was one of the most disgraceful performances by an American president in memory. The damage inflicted by President Trump’s naiveté, egotism, false equivalence, and sympathy for autocrats is difficult to calculate. But it is clear that the summit in Helsinki was a tragic mistake.

“President Trump proved not only unable, but unwilling to stand up to Putin. He and Putin seemed to be speaking from the same script as the president made a conscious choice to defend a tyrant against the fair questions of a free press, and to grant Putin an uncontested platform to spew propaganda and lies to the world.

"It is tempting to describe the press conference as a pathetic rout — as an illustration of the perils of under-preparation and inexperience. But these were not the errant tweets of a novice politician. These were the deliberate choices of a president who seems determined to realize his delusions of a warm relationship with Putin’s regime without any regard for the true nature of his rule, his violent disregard for the sovereignty of his neighbors, his complicity in the slaughter of the Syrian people, his violation of international treaties, and his assault on democratic institutions throughout the world.

"Coming close on the heels of President Trump’s bombastic and erratic conduct towards our closest friends and allies in Brussels and Britain, today’s press conference marks a recent low point in the history of the American Presidency. That the president was attended in Helsinki by a team of competent and patriotic advisors makes his blunders and capitulations all the more painful and inexplicable.

“No prior president has ever abased himself more abjectly before a tyrant. Not only did President Trump fail to speak the truth about an adversary; but speaking for America to the world, our president failed to defend all that makes us who we are — a republic of free people dedicated to the cause of liberty at home and abroad. American presidents must be the champions of that cause if it is to succeed. Americans are waiting and hoping for President Trump to embrace that sacred responsibility. One can only hope they are not waiting totally in vain.”
