"Mitch McConnell just went off on Donald Trump and the election deniers - CNNPolitics

excerpt:

"Faced with the likelihood that his party will lose its Senate majority and fed up with a group of Republican senators pushing an effort to invalidate the Electoral College vote, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell delivered a stunning and searing rebuke of the President and many within the GOP.

"The voters, the courts, and the states have all spoken," McConnell said from the floor of the Senate Wednesday afternoon. "If we overrule them all, it would damage our republic forever. ... If this election were overturned by mere allegations from the losing side, our democracy would enter a death spiral. We'd never see the whole nation accept an election again."

McConnell went on. "We cannot keep drifting apart into two separate tribes... with separate facts, and separate realities ... with nothing in common except hostility toward each another and mistrust for the few national institutions that we still share."

And, finally, this: "It would be unfair and wrong to disenfranchise American voters and overrule the courts and the states on this thin basis. And I will not pretend such a vote would be a harmless protest gesture while relying on others to do the right thing.""

 

That makes it official, the voice of authority, that contradicts himself at the drop of a hat. Chickens give me the warm fuzzies.

 

Only if the entire country doesn't start blowing up.

 

Thus sayeth the Machiavellian son-of-a-bitch who's done more to undermine the Republic and destroy democracy than anyone since 1861.

 

Woman shot in US Capitol dead, several officers injured after pro-Trump protesters charge building

excerpt:

"The shooting was reported shortly after 3 p.m. as the situation escalated inside and outside of the Capitol.

The victim was later identified as Ashli Babbit, of San Diego.

Her mother-in-law told FOX 5's Lindsay Watts, "I really don’t know why she decided to do this."

Babbit is a 14-year veteran with the Air Force, Watts reports."

January 6 was a somber day.

4,131 U.S. coronavirus deaths were recorded on January 6.

Favorite Twitter response so far:
"Can't. I'm watching the season finale of the United States."

 

DC has some of the highest murder rates in the nation, especially along 14st. Congress likes to feel at home.

 

He's a fucking chicken if there ever was one. I don't even need to analyze his writing to know the lights are only on, because nobody is ever home. You can bet your sweet ass, he waited to be told to say something. You might as well get angry with a chicken. In his fucked up mind, my guess is he thinks he's a good catholic fighting the good fight, and has no clue what the fuck is going on. He's just another sad pawn, that you want to throw in a rubber room somewhere and forget about.

 

Arizona's central role in Washington, D.C. US Capitol protest, riot

excerpt:

"It was the first time the Capitol had been violently breached since British forces attacked it in the War of 1812."

 

Arizona's central role in Washington, D.C. US Capitol protest, riot

excerpt:

"Republican U.S. Rep. Paul Gosar, who for two months has joined Arizona’s most extreme Trump supporters in trying to overturn the election results citing baseless reports of fraud, rose to object to his home state’s certification. That prompted a standing ovation from Trump supporters in Congress.

Gosar was joined by U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, a Trump ally. The objections from a member from each house triggered an automatic halt to the proceedings, and each body retired to its own chamber for two hours of debate.

Arizona Democratic Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, the sixth to speak, defended Arizona’s electoral process on the Senate floor of the Senate, saying Gosar’s challenge “fails any factual analysis” and seeks to rob voters of their Constitutional right to elect their leaders.

She urged colleagues to put the interest of the nation over their own personal interests, as the late Sen. John McCain did after his loss to President Barack Obama.

Just after Sinema's time ended, both chambers were evacuated."

 

How were pro-Trump rioters able to breach Capitol law enforcement?

excerpt:

"Videos on social media, which USA TODAY has not been able to independently verify, showed men in police uniforms taking selfies with and removing outdoor barriers for the rioters.

Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, said a review of Wednesday's events "will determine what failures occurred and why."

"The plans should have anticipated the potential for what happened today," Thompson said.

Acting Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen said the Justice Department has sent hundreds of federal law enforcement officers and agents to assist Capitol police. "The violence at our Nation's Capitol Building is an intolerable attack on a fundamental institution of our democracy," Rosen said in a statement."

 

How were pro-Trump rioters able to breach Capitol law enforcement?

excerpt:

"Terry Gainer, former chief of the U.S. Capitol Police who also served as the Senate’s sergeant at arms, described Wednesday’s protests as unprecedented in four decades in law enforcement.

“It’s dangerous,” Gainer said. “This is a much more hateful crowd incited by the president himself. It’s definitely something new in our business.”

Gainer said there have been breaches of perimeter fencing and barriers at the Capitol, but he wasn't aware of any mass breach of the Capitol building.

Chuck Wexler, executive director of the think tank Police Executive Research Forum, said government officials are likely to look back at this and evaluate whether additional law enforcement resources might have been necessary.

"At this point, it's hard to say," Wexler said. "Most demonstrations are peaceful, but then if they suddenly turn violent like this one did, it’s difficult for the police without a massive police presence to prevent it.""

Senate rejects Arizona objection to Biden win.


Senate rejects challenge to Biden's Arizona win

excerpt:

"The Senate has overwhelmingly turned aside a challenge to President-elect Joe Biden’s victory in Arizona, guaranteeing the result will stand.

The objection to the results in Arizona — spearheaded by Rep. Paul Gosar and Sen. Ted Cruz — was rejected 93-6 on Wednesday night. All votes in favor came from Republicans, but after a violent mob stormed the Capitol earlier Wednesday a number of GOP senators who had planned to support the objection reversed course."

Democratic senators say electoral ballots saved from Senate floor

excerpt:

"Senators are crediting a "quick thinking" staffer for securing the 2020 Electoral College ballots while people were evacuated from the Capitol as rioters entered the building on Wednesday.

A joint session of Congress descended into chaos as supporters of President Trump who were protesting the Electoral College vote to certify President-elect Joe Biden's win swarmed the Capitol.

Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.) said Wednesday that the Electoral College certificates contained inside a trio of mahogany boxes would've been destroyed "by the mob," had they not been saved as lawmakers, aides and journalists were evacuated from the Senate chamber."
