The next 14 days are going to be like the story Quint tells in Jaws. We are all in the water with the sharks circling and the rescue ships are still 14 days away.

There came a time when the Old Gods died! The Brave died with the Cunning! The Noble perished locked in battle with unleashed Evil! It was the last day for them! An ancient era was passing in fiery holocaust!
I feel sorry for the families of those that lost loved ones. But this was awful and really showed the kinds of people that support Trump and in reality show what the Republican party is turned into with an ego manic, racist, immature, childish, incompetent, and down right STUPID president as their cult leader. I am kinda glad it happen because this all this can be throw back at them if they come back with demonizing things like BLM etc. It also proved everyone who didn't vote for Trump four years ago RIGHT. He should have never been President and now this dark mark along with all the other dumb things he has done will pretty much get him labeled as the WORST president of all time. If he isn't the worst, he is most certainly the dumbest.
Also, it must have killed him that he couldn't tweet when Biden was certified and even people from his own party were blasting him for the violence. Also, seen some conservative Twitter warriors like Tomi Larhen having a slowly having a mental meltdown on Instagram last night was comedy gold. If they aren't silent they are making things worst like Tucker and Laura who are praising the lady that got shot as some sort of hero SMH.

This might have a good outcome.
Capitol Police firings imminent after ‘attempted coup,’ top appropriator warns
The problem with this idea, and the reason our system is built around freedom (even to be an idiot or an a##hole), is because the question then becomes: who gets to decide? Who decides which ideas bar you from running for office? Who decides which citizens get fewer rights than others, and which? Even trying to do this would make the rest of us no better than those storming the capitol yesterday or begging for the military to intervene and overturn the vote. Even if your ideas and behavior (other than in this instance) are rationally and morally superior doing this would make you as authoritarian as the worst actors on the other side, just a better brand. Some might be comfortable with that, and many others can certainly understand the emotion (especially this soon after what happened). But actually doing so, even with good intentions, would be wrong. And then there's the possibility that you don't get to decide, the other side does. That's why we have free speech, freedom of (and from) religion, etc. To protect the weakest among us from the tyranny of the majority and the moment.

Yeah, got to love those people who ditch Trump at the 25th hour of the day.
It isn't a case of a supposedly moral and all-around respectable person suddenly doing something so outrageous that you know you have to speak up now and leave or be forever tainted by your association with him. it's Donald fucking Trump here.
While Trump may have played a role in this I think this shows more about online radicalization. This is not the first time people went on an online political-related rant, made some threats, and actually acted on them. But the media will act like it's completely new. Even if Trump never won the elections this would still be an issue because of the way the internet has become a pressure cooker for these things.
december 21st has passed where are my superpowers?
Yea the people who quit Trumps team now don't deserve any or a gold medals after standing by him and all his BS for the past 4 years.
All the more reason to invoke the 25th amendment and get rid of Trump immediately, because while he’s been banned from Twitter and Facebook, he still has access to the goddamn nuclear codes. That was troubling enough when he was still in whatever passed for a rational frame of mind, now that his whole world officially crashed and burned this morning with the ratification of Joe Biden as the next president, heaven only knows what the bastard might do next.
Screw that clown. He’s only covering his ass, abandoning ship after it struck the iceberg yesterday.

What is amazing are the people resigning saying "This is just too much. I didnt not see this coming. i am shocked that this would happen and that he would let this happen." I mean shit everything the last four years has been leading to this. A blind man could see this coming the second he invited people to hold a rally on the same day that congress certified the EC votes.
I mean people who defend this. They are dangerous assholes. But the people who claim they never saw this coming. Fucking stupid.

No, they’re liars, plain and simple. They knew Trump had his lemmings in a rage after two months of screaming bloody murder almost daily about how the election had been “stolen” from him, and all it took was the spark of that rally to turn that pent up fury into a conflagration. And those cowards KNEW it would happen.
