“If a President spins a big lie to anger Americans and stokes the fury by repeating the lie at event after event and invites violent groups to DC on the day and hour necessary to interrupt the electoral college count and does nothing to stop those groups from advancing and fails to summon the National Guard to protect the Capitol, then expresses pleasure and delight that the Capitol was attacked, is the President innocent of inciting an insurrection because in a speech he says ‘be peaceful?’” ---Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Mass.

When did all Americans start saying "you all"?
Castro from San Antone did frequently.  The Philly lawyer for Trump picked that up too.  The WaPO reporter Libby Casey just you all-ed.

Jim Jordan, the Ohio "Whiz": How do you incite a riot that was already going to happen?

-Pipe bombs were placed near the Capitol before President Trump’s speech.

-The FBI knew about potential violence before the speech.

-Capitol Police requested help from the National Guard days before the speech.


So, he acknowledges a planned conspiracy to overthrow the government was in motion. He shows that he grasps that the crowd was already greased for violence and that they just needed permission to act, which Trump gave them, and Trump said he'd join them in doing (before he, of course, he bailed and went home to watch them on his tv).

And Genius Jim, the Wrestling Pedophile, doesn't understand how this happened?

Are all the Ohioans as dumb as this jock-ass?

What a fucking embarrassment to the country!

Small subsection of supporters who never could be expected to act as such

Even knowledge of the advance planning doesn't change this

And "peacefully and patriotically" is really all you need to be on the side of acquit - if common sense doesn't already have you there.

He's an impressive dude

Shame there is that video from 2017 of his calling for elector nullification.

The sad thing, is that no matter how overmatched Trump's defense team was, and how ill-prepared they were to defend the indefensible, there's not enough decency, among the Repubs senators to do the right thing.

And the cowards will be stuck with what they fear, 4 more years of being bullied by a corrupt authoritarian and his concentrated army of conspiracy-theory driven voters and fascist thugs.

And they will give their ratfication for this treasonous behavior. 

Happy Presidents Day.

Through Monday, Democracy is 50% off.

Raskin was very sharp.
Stacey Plaskett poised and well-spoken.
Castro quite solid.

They were the standouts.

To Alyssa Milano...

Use the gifts that God gave you in order to make the world a better place. Your gift, Alyssa, is that you are a gifted actress and the world loves you, since you were very young. You can also produce. Use your special gifts to make the world a better place.

A poet writes poetry to give to the world to try to make the world a better place.

Musicians make music to try to make the world a better place.

You Alyssa, make television shows and movies. Use your gifts to try to make the world a better place. Say what you want to say with your movies and television shows.

Martin Scorcese said that you should only make movies as long as you have something to say. You, Alyssa, have a lot to say, say it with movies and television shows.

Plus, you can help to create entertainment industry jobs here in Southern California. And you can help the students as they graduate from the local film schools and acting schools. We have USC, we have the Dodge film school at Chapman, and we have the AADA in Hollywood (and in New York).

Say what you want to say, while you create local jobs, and help to make the world a better place. Use your gifts that make you special.

Salute,

Tony V.

You have it backwards.  Nothing close to a crime was committed.

The 56 votes will be rightfully long forgotten

Remember those Cable News moments when, amid the daily counts of New York COVId deaths in Nursing Homes, Governor Cuomo and his lil bro Chris yukked it up over Andrew’s proboscis?
Maybe CNN actually means
Cuomo’sNews Nose!

LOL!

The lead guy today was Michael van der Veen


Yep.  You're right.

Dems - and media - getting their ass kicked.
Kid continues to “move on.”
Oddly, his signature line is spot on today.

Good catch.   BTW what is the source of your new signature line?   Perhaps due to minus twelve temp here,  my search engine has failed.
I never travel far without a little Big Star.

You're an idiot.

some 300 people have been arrested for the insurrection and the crimes they commited., many seen on TV by millions.

What the Repubs need to do, for the good of the country, is find their balls, and convict Trump,

It won't happen.

But the 2, 3,4,5,6 Repubs Senators who vote to convict will be remembered for their standing up to the corruption amd cowardice of their party, and for their country's future.

But as we know it won't be enough.

This fucking stain will never wash off our democracy.

NEVER

And go fuck yourself you fucking indecent moron.

and go sit in the corner and STFU you useless piece of shit

The late lamented and underloved band, Big Star and their song O, Dana:

https://www.musixmatch.com/lyrics/Big-Star/O-Dana
Great, great band. Especially their first two albums when Bell was (mostly) still with them.
Oooh, are we gonna argue about this? As great as those are, 3rd/Sister Lovers is their best, albeit nearly an Alex Chilton solo album.
