How many people now calling for Trump to leave office immediately, or are resigning from his administration, or decrying his dangerous conduct, endorsed him, voted for him, or just remained silent in the last election? Asking for America.

I don't know if I am living in a different reality but:
I have heard way too many times by now the variation of "This is not who we are". "This does not happen in America". "This is what we see in third world countries". So, who was doing this? Russians? Where was this happening? France? Where did we see this? Burkina-faso?
I am sorry. AITA?

Hey, you leave Burkina Faso alone. My friend went home to there for the quarantine because they're doing a much better job containing COVID

The long way to confirm that, indeed, IATA :)

Okay I did not realize that "Gloria" was playing while Tiny and his family watched the riot he incited. Also the above clip is not the full version. It's below. Also, have they ever listened to the words of that song?



Gloria
Laura Branigan

Gloria
You're always on the run now
Runnin' after somebody
You've gotta get him somehow
I think you've got to slow down
Before you start to blow it
I think you're headin' for a breakdown
So be careful not to show it
You really don't remember
Was it somethin' that he said?
All the voices in your head
Calling Gloria
Gloria
Don't you think you're fallin'?
If everybody wants you
Why isn't anybody callin'?
You don't have to answer
Leave 'em hangin' on the line, ohh
Calling Gloria
Gloria
(Gloria)
I think they got your number
(Gloria)
I think they got the alias
(Gloria)
That you've been livin' under
(Gloria)
But you really don't remember
Was it something that they said?
All the voices in your head
Calling Gloria
Gloria
How's it gonna go down?
Will you meet him on the main line?
Or…

What gets me is that Trump KNEW that Pence and his wife, daughter and brother were trapped in a building being invaded by armed rioters — and did nothing to help. If I was Pence, I’d 25th the motherf**ker for that alone.

There are questions about how the terrorists knew exactly how to navigate the halls to reach the Democrat offices and specific areas they ransacked. They planned it and had inside help.

Isn't Trump expected to go to Camp David for the weekend? Are they going to hide from each other?

There are much darker scenarios on Twitter about what the aim of the riot was. I wonder what role Erik Prince played in this? Some of the folks breaking into second floor windows were said to be speaking a language other than English. I have to see if I can find that post now.

There was also this. I'm sorry if I posted it already.

Something very strange is happening at the White House. @VP doesn't have the authority to call out the national guard. The Nat'l Security Adviser in a public way breaks w/ the President and sides with Pence. In effect, the 25th may be being implemented piecemeal.

While there are other questions related to this, a quick google search gives you a general map: https://www.google.com/search?q=us+capi ... 1Wvxi0FhBM
