No 7, you mentioned your daughter was a fan of Trump, after yesterday’s events .....had her view changed?
The problem is that there is a massive apparatus aimed at chasing away those moments of cognitive dissonance. Fox News decided that this was the action of antifa infiltrators, and Trumpist opinion will follow.
Calling it now, the 25th will be invoked later today. If I was a betting man I’d lump on it. A man considered too dangerous to post on Twitter still has the nuclear codes, and that cannot be allowed to continue.
He’s surrounded himself with so many sycophants in his cabinet I think it’s highly unlikely tbh. Albeit it should be exactly what they do today, but they won’t.
Pence was, until yesterday, sycophant-in-chief, but he did the right thing twice yesterday. First he presided over the count, and went back after the coup to complete the job. Then he was the one who ordered the National Guard to deploy, after Trump had repeatedly refused to. He is the most important person in the conversation now, because he has to agree to take charge. The Republican leadership have almost entirely deserted Trump now.
Rep. Jason Crow on CNN just now describing what it was like in the room. He said he asked other people in the room to remove their pins so as not to be identifiable. There were pictures of some people with bunches of zip ties so they were clearly prepared to take hostages. Then he said something that was utterly chilling: “I had a pen in my pocket that I planned on using as a weapon and was looking around for other objects that could be used to defend myself and others” Holy. ****ing. ****.
