Today is a day that will live in infamy.
I thought I was going to watch Judge Judy; instead there’s coverage of a coup in DC, our seat of democracy–on the day we were to join both Houses and formally count the results of our election, another step in the process to January 20 where we inaugurate Joe Biden as President.
On the steps of the Capitol, on the Senate floor; shots fired, vandalism, violence. Nothing less than domestic terrorism.
Unbelievable.
It seems as if Capitol Police were apparently complicit in allowing these activities, taking selfies with the criminals, allowing them access to the Capitol.
This piece of shit president and his attempted coup will go down in history as the darkest hour in America’s 250 years of democracy. He called for a rally of his idiotic followers on this day, he stoked the fires of hatred and violence, he told the crowd to use force to change election results.
Today’s attempted coup began with Trump saying to the crowd: “If you don’t fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore,” and then telling them to head to the Capitol to give Republican lawmakers the message.
Like President Biden said, “This is sedition. This is insurrection. Enough is enough is enough.”
Senator Duckworth said they are planning to resume the symbolic vote count as soon as Capitol is secured. Democracy will not be bullied!
Trump needs to be immediately removed from office and arrested for sedition and insurrection.
This is the day after Georgia saved our country by electing Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock. Thank goodness for Stacey Abrams. She is truly a national treasure.
Are you watching?

It’s not really what the world expects from America, is it? Since 2016, I’ve been ashamed of this country.

Revelation time. Darkness is still showing itself loud and proud, giving us the choice to make changes. Politically I may lean left, but no politician is above the law. This is a democracy and they work for us! His ass can’t be out of the White House soon enough.

Truth. There is some talk of Pence invoking 25th amendment.

I can’t see Trump willingly giving up any power at any time. They’d have to carry him away in a straight jacket – and as much as I’d like to see it, I really doubt it would happen. This is the bug-a-boo with personality disorders. People tend to retain enough of a grip on reality to not fall under the category of being a “danger to themselves or others”. Or it’s difficult to prove until they actually hurt someone or themselves. My mother was hospitalized four times for just this – mostly being a danger to herself.

It’s a tough call. Does hospitalization help at all? It seems to be an unstable rollercoaster. So sorry you had that experience.

Absolutely hospitalization helped. But my mother was bipolar. Her brain chemistry sometimes got out of whack and they’d have to change her meds or get her back on them if she’d dumped them. As a narcissist, Trump believes any of his problems are all externally caused. (As you know). Mom knew she had a mental illness.

Yeah, he blames everyone else for his problems and to justify the damage he causes. No self awareness.

You nailed it – no self awareness.

His issue I think is beyond a treatable mental illness or dementia, he’s a psychopath.
