Live Updates: Capitol secured after assault from Trump supporters excerpt: Jimmy Carter calls Capitol assault "a national tragedy" Former president Jimmy Carter released a statement saying he and his wife, Rosalynn, were "troubled by the violence at the U.S. Capitol today." "This is a national tragedy and is not who we are as a nation," Mr. Carter said. "Having observed elections in troubled democracies worldwide, I know that we the people can unite to walk back from this precipice to peacefully uphold the laws of our nation, and we must.

This is a challenge facing American democracy at the moment and they should navigate it with prudence and patience like their forefathers did so as to climb greater heights. George Washington stated , 'Decision making, like coffee, needs a cooling process.' It is important to show patience and non-reactivity to cool inflamed passions and tempers and stop feeding the trolls with attention , and slowly the protests will wane. I will miss Trump as he was a daily source of comic amusement with his antics. Biden seems to be a boring professional who studies and judges by the facts and follows due process.
Where's Billy Graham when you need him, oh yeah, he's dead. Maybe the NSA should break out their clone of Jesus, have him walk across the Potomac.
My husband, who is a Trump supporting Q, says he wishes he'd been there. He said the rioters are"patriots" and worthy of praise He further says he has inside information, and that they "haven't seen anything yet". He says there's more to come. I'm glad he has no way of getting there.
It's so funny, though, how Trumpers said it was awful how the protests against Forrest turned into riots, but when the bôot is on the other foot it's a show of patriotism.
He might. I'm pretty sure He'd end up getting arrested for talking to crowds in parks and practicing medicine without a license if He healed anyone.
I am really glad to see Republican senator Mitt Romney criticizing Trump and his followers for trying to sow chaos and disorder and attempting to prevent a peaceful transition of power. Mitt Romney: 'What happened here today was an insurrection, incited by the President' - CNNPolitics Mitt Romney had been endorsed for president by none other than Jack Welch, and I had cited Welch's statement favoring Romney in this post. America Will Be Great Again The U.S. has no dearth of quality leaders and I think Romney as president may have governed the U.S. wisely and efficiently in the last four years silently without much of the talk of Trump stating that he will do so.
It’s finally over the 117th US Congress has certified 270 Electoral College votes for Joe Biden, confirming that he will become the next President of the United States of America, and Kamala Harris will become the next Vice President of the United states. He actually received 306 electoral votes, but only needed 270 to become President,
Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning. Winston Churchill My bold on perhaps because unless something is done it remains a perhaps

LOL, Mormons often hate republicans, and only tolerate them because their support their politics, and they are frequently the first to break ranks. All these "Old School" republicans and fringe republicans handed over control of their party to the Tea Party long ago, and might as well beg a stampeding heard of elephants to stop. They sold their souls down river long ago, and may God have mercy on their souls, because the Tea Party won't.
