National Guard members spent the night on the House side of the Capitol ahead of Biden’s inauguration — 160 years after Union soldiers were quartered in the very same place at the start of the Civil War.

No, you ratified a mob by returning to the capitol to pursue the seditionists goal: Challenging electoral votes on the basis of no evidence. You promulgated Russian propaganda during impeachment. You violated your oath. You should resign, be expelled or be voted out.

I live in a community surrounded by Trump supporters. My extended family are Trump supporters. My childhood friends are Trump supporters. I understand Trump supporters enough to know the real problem is that THEY need to better understand the cancer Trump is to democracy.

It’s not up to the GOP to excise Trump. Yes he’ll be gone in 8 days, but if Trump still wants a hold on the GOP, he’ll have a hold on the GOP. It’s his call, not the GOP’s. Because this has moved well beyond Trump. It’s Trumpism. And Trumpism is now the GOP base.
Good piece Liz.

Trump and his lackeys spent the last four years discouraging investigations into right wing extremism. It looks like his insurrection has put an end to that interference, even before the new administration is sworn in.

I have a bad feeling about the US Inauguration Day 2021. I strongly feel Speaker of the House Pelosi should be in California that day. You who know me from the G+ days, know I saw this shit coming. The next 10 to 20 years are going to be ugly, but there's a light at the end of the tunnel, and it's not a train.

Major Twist in US Capitol Storming Might Have Gutted the Democrats' Narrative on Trump Impeachment

This is worth reading. A lot of useful information, although I find her narrative flow a bit unfocused (or maybe poor choice of focus methodology?). Anyway, still worth reading.

We cannot have reconciliation without justice. We cannot have justice without truth. And we have some leaders who either don't know the truth, or are unwilling to speak it.

How dose McCarthy have a call like that and not vote to impeach and ensure he can never hold the presidency again? Grow some backbone congressional Republicans and put country over party!

In a call with Kevin McCarthy, Trump falsely blamed "Antifa people" for the violent insurrection at the Capitol.
A White House official tells Axios that McCarthy said: "It's not Antifa, it's MAGA. I know. I was there."
