Yesterday, Pence told Trump he doesn't have the authority or power to block Biden's win. Naturally the White House immediately responded by delcaring Pence said no such thing.

Amusing opinion piece from USA Today: "Four years later in Georgia, Trump implosion destroys the Republican Party" When an article starts with "Over the past year, we’ve witnessed a slate of horrific campaign strategies that until now, any sentient carbon-based life form would avoid." you know it's going to be unabashedly partisan but enjoyable to read.

But of course. The Republicans have always been about minority voting -- as long as you're the right minority, namely rich and white.
And male, of course.

I don’t ever want to hear again how the Republican Party is the only one who respects democracy or the country:

A particularly delicious turn of phrase:

Pence says "Yes, I did."

I guess they're using tear gas inside the US Capitol, gas masks have been distributed to members of the House, who locked themselves in the chamber.

This is looking more and more like force of arms to suppress a violent insurrection is likely to be needed.

I've seen a number of comments that the Police are much gentler with people literally trying to storm the Capitol to overthrow the results of an election than with BLM peacefully protesting.
Best wishes for everyone in the US.

One live report was headlined: Trump supporters storm U.S. Capitol, halting electoral vote count
Bullet points within it included the following...
Quote:• Ahead of the count, Trump spoke at a rally protesting the results, and repeatedly said he would join demonstrators who were planning to march to the Capitol.
• The president did not join them, and returned to the White House instead.
So "Fearless Leader" egged the mob on to storm the U.S. Congress ... and of course wussed out on his promise to be with them as they did.

If you didn’t see what’s happening in DC coming, you were not paying attention.

It really is a coup d'etat of the Yahoos.

If he had taken part, that would have been treason. All that can be pinned on him for this is sedition.
Not that it matters, really. Advocating overthrow of Government is a separate crime in the USA.

Didn't Dartz once bet that Donald Trump would be impeached?
It may well pay out.

Now stand by for arguments that since the Senate didn't certify the election on the 6th as constitutionally mandated, the power to select the president devolves to the House.
