The harpie Pelosi did this just for show, of course.  She knows Pence will not act on this.
Well, it is a warning shot across the bow for the next two weeks.

Trump promises pardons as he speaks to the Capitol basket of deplorables:

Whenever the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide, transmit to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall immediately assume the powers and duties of the office as Acting President.


Thanks
The key word being "and".

Yep. Where's Pompeo hiding, btw?

"Domestic terrorists"?
Some would likely agree.

"Violent protesters"?
Some would likely agree.

As luck would have it, those scaling the walls/building and invading were not professional terrorists dressed as Trump supporters, ready and able to inflict a bloodbath and destruction of the building.
The politicians were "sitting ducks"...much like children in schools without proper security.

Instead only frenzied, unarmed protesters, intent on taking over the building to "reclaim democracy".
Seems to me they thought they were patriots saving the country.

Seems to me you don't shit about fuck.

Did Ivanka call them patriots yesterday, before deleting it?

Outlaw certain people, from having the right and capability to vote ?
I thought that had been banned long ago.

From The Week:
President Trump may not be in attendance for President-elect Joe Biden's inauguration, but it appears his vice president will.

Vice President Mike Pence is expected to attend Biden's inauguration, Politico reported on Thursday and CNN confirmed. The decision to do so, Politico reports, became "easier" after Trump publicly lambasted Pence for not overturning the results of the 2020 election, despite his lack of authority to do so.

"It was a much more difficult decision days ago, but less difficult now," a person close to Pence told Politico.



I bet a lot of things are "easier" for Pence, now.

Gerald Ford killed his career by pardoning Nixon. Pence could make his career, perhaps, by convincing the cabinet to help him with invoking the 25th Amendment.

Well...

changes will surely be made to the election system in this nation (in the states) - so that truths re: votes cannot be so hidden as in 2020.

Whether or not this extreme march, this protest, this terrorism adds any gusto to getting the desired changes is debatable.

Same day registration up to voting day, universal vote by mail and early voting, universal distribution of ballots that can either be mailed in or dropped off, and dark & corporate money out of elections entirely are the desired changes. It will be good to have them implemented across all states in time for the next cycle.

Re:  bias

"It just wasnt thought that these guys (read:  mostly white folk) would do what they did (read:  go to the extent that the black folk did)"

Even the mayor agreed - seeing as she had the National Guard unarmed and made sure everyone knew it

I might add the idiots on the View do not know this, shrieking, "where was the National Guard?"  all morning

I might also add that they DIDNT go to ANTIFA, BLM extent yesterday

Better physical security at the Capitol building would be wise. Absolute security.
Electronic, steel doors instead of glass ones, or steel doors with bullet proof glass in them, etc.

They had no justification for going at all yesterday. White terror must be stopped. White terrorists must be dispossessed of all their resources and barred from all positions of public honor and trust, whether that be a sheriff, a senator, a sargent, a news anchor, or a CEO.

Support for trump should be met with the same attitude and process as support for ISIS.

Lock this woman up. She clearly and succinctly articulates EXACTLY what the intention was by the Trump domestic terrorists, yesterday: https://news.yahoo.com/yahoo-news-reporter-speaks-woman-162518552.html
