I wonder how many laws this guy has broken? and how much jail time he will get? I expect the punishments will be pretty heavy handed.

The whole "riot" - attack and defense - looked pretty amateur.

Only once we get Biden & China to import their superb proven facial recognition technology, we'll be on it like Inspector Clouseau absolving the Keystone Cops from having to identify this kingpin

Apparently one of the Capitol cops died earlier of injuries sustained during the riot. This will change things.

TBH all this shit kinda makes you respect the American system more. Several hundred years ago some dudes put this together and it has stood the test of time. The last 2 months may well have been the biggest assault on US democracy ever, yet , while the system creaked and groaned a bit, you never got the feeling it was gonna fall over.

It's another reason why I don't buy into the demented Joe argument. The system is too strong. If it took all the shit Trump threw at it, I can't even imagine anything JB could do to capsize the ship.

I think it's a common misconception, stateside and by observers abroad, that presidents are some sort of omnipotent force in America. The Founders were indeed brilliant when they designed the system with an almost infallible fail-safe, that being the three branches of government. Between the Executive, Legislative and then the Judicial branch as the last resort, obscenely stupid shit should, IN THEORY, not be able to happen. I would say of all the presidents in my lifetime, Obama had the greatest potential to fundamentally fuck up the country as he had an extended honeymoon with the American public, idol-worship by his followers, control of both houses of Congress (for two years), an almost-even SCOTUS and the media covering for him no matter what and in the end he failed miserably at getting even one of the things on his wetdream wishlist (single-payer healthcare, gun bans, restructured leftist tax codes, etc.) because he lacked experience, surrounded himself with other morons that lacked experience and just didn't know what the fuck he was doing.

I think Trump's biggest political mistake (other than acting like Trump) was that he had zero long-term political strategy because he simply wasn't a good politician--he didn't set up a strategy to install more supporters in Congress. He always assumed he could just order everyone into a room and either bully them or "make a deal" and everything would go his way. He largely ignored Congressional races, quickly lost the House in his first mid-term, just as Obama did, and then COVID finished the job by completely throwing him off balance and into a position where he couldn't just rely on his ego, big rallies, scared sycophants in his party doing his bidding and his lack of seriousness in dealing with the pandemic lost him the suburbs and independents.

I don't expect Joe Biden to fuck anything up. I actually don't expect Biden to even finish his first term. Even if he does, I expect he'll be even less effective than his former boss. What scares me is that the Bernie/Lunatic wing of the Dem party has very effectively installed more of their psychotic fucking communists in the House, and now capitalized on Trump's idiocy to install even more in the Senate. Normally this wouldn't be a problem no matter what sort of ridiculous Marxist Utopian bullshit they passed as it would get smacked down by SCOTUS (where there's a 6-3 conservative majority), but that's why these new, retarded but very ambitious young Democrats in power are now running their mouths about expanding the court to 15 seats and installing any Justice Left of Lenin.

As I see it, the GOP has a very, VERY narrow window of time to completely disavow and dump Trump and all of his remaining loyalists, few as they'll be by the end of the week, and try to rehabilitate its image in time for the 2022 Congressional elections. But if you listen to my friends at the RNC--whose predictions ended up spot-on compared to mine--Trump's true parting gift is that he has royally fucked the Republican Party into irrelevancy for the next ten years.

Uh-oh. Something’s up, based on what’s circulating on the insurrectionists-preferred Parler app.

“Patriots” who carry Confederate flags.

Yeah, this whole Confederate flag thing has really been turned upside down. I never cared for it and associated it with rednecks from my hometown. Just stay away from them when you see that flag as the background decoration behind a real shotgun fastened to the back window of a Ford pickup. Even though I partly grew up in The South, I never saw it as it has now been recently portrayed - a racist symbol. But instead, something they see as their pride of personal heritage and local tradition. Back in the 90's, it represented where someone was from and not racism which it has been twisted into today. I had my own run-ins driving on the road with some of these people myself. Yeah yeah, I know the history behind it and what hasn't been put into history school books about that flag. But having lived there (although I find it very red-necky), it's not actually what people want to make it out to be according today's narrative.

I’d expect them to put out a clear message that if any terrorist/rioters try to disrupt the inauguration they will likely be met by force.

But on a more pertinent note, the House Democrats are poised to impeach the president again and certainly have the votes to do it. The billion dollar question is what the Senate will do, which is still ruled by Republicans and will require a 2/3 vote for conviction. That means every single Democrat plus 28 Republicans will have to vote to convict.

I actually think they might have the votes, and not just because the GOP is furious at him. On Tuesday, the RNC's biggest headache was how to stop Trump from running for president again in 2024 and fucking everything up. On Wednesday he gave us the answer to that.

If a sitting president is impeached and convicted, Congress then has the opportunity to vote on whether to ban him/her permanently from running for president again. And that would probably be one of the quickest, most bi-partisan votes you ever saw come out of the People's House.
