I know the MAGA heads will never be ashamed by any of this, but I'm curious as to how many people that voted for the dude even just 2 months ago are going to look back on this day either today or a year from now and say "my god... what was I thinking?"

few. if your political philosophy is limited by the question of, "how do i benefit from this, personally", then you ultimately pinch your nose and pull the lever on the right. because as bad as this is, it would be worse to put *them* in charge.

Refuse to dispatch the National Guard? 25th Amendment. Do it.

so what's the protestors endgame?

I mean, I know they want Trump as president, but are they just going to sit at/around the capitol untnil the curfew and then I guess be a pain?
This is the endgame, this is actually probably leaps and bounds beyond what these morons actually intended to accomplish.

Yup... they're just dogs chasing a car. They wouldn't know what to do if they actually caught one.

They'll cite the heroic speech McConnell made to justify the stance that the GOP has wiped clean the stench of the seditious Trump movement.

I just realized that basically all of my Trumper Facebook friends have suddenly gone VERY quiet....

CNN is reporting that the DOD is deploying the National Guard to the Capitol.
virginia did it first. might as well, now that it doesn't matter and you can tell mush brains at a later date that you did it right away
Future fact check. "actually, Trump did authorize sending in the national guard".

well...norms and institutions DID prevail, as we've been told by team sincerity. must have been a slow internet connection on that email to the DOD.

I just took a look as well... I'm seeing most of my lefty friends posting how terrible this is, and Trump people are silent.

Ted Cruz still fundraising:

Turn it off for a few days, dadhole.

What will be fun to see play out is once all this rabble is cleared and the electoral business resumes, does the Sedition Caucus continue its game of make-believe?

I move that the electoral college certification process be moved to a Zoom meeting.

Pence made it so close to surfing a 4 year kahuna, time to prove your quality, beezlebub

Oh heavens yes, tif. Cruz got his moment, and Hawley appears to not have an iconic fox news clip yet. In the '24 arms race, he's gotta correct that. If MAGA is 60-70% of the party, what are ya gonna do? Be decent?

Thinking this will hasten Trump’s resignation and Pence pardoning him. Imagine the heel turn if Pence doesn’t follow through lolol

Heel turn? that would be a face turn

his reputation would immediately shift from Trump's lackey to Trump's executor and the majority of hte country would be happy with that

Trump hasn't tweeted in an hour. That's odd for him.

Trump has made hundreds of millions of dollars off of the scam so far. He's not resigning. He needs the "campaigning" to continue. There's no way he turns the firehouse of cash off.

I said like 3 hours ago Twitter needed to shut down his handle, I'm wondering if they finally did.

He's keeping up with his BS...

Agree with this. Probably got MUCH further than what they thought.
