Trump cares about only himself, he is now backed into a corner and you know what happens to people backed into a corner, very dangerous they need to get into out yesterday but that's probably not going to happen. No negotiations, tell him to get on Air Force One drop him off in Florida strip him of his security clearance and let him wait till the 20th of January at 12:01 when people will be able to get their hands on him.

Pelosi it just passing the buck. Articles of Impeachment should have been drawn up weeks ago based on Trump inciting terrorism. 

Weak Democratic leadership along all lines of their hierarchy in how they have handled this buffoon and his enablers. Jumping onto twitter and other social media platforms to express your anger is the easiest thing to do with little actual impact. 

It's frustrating to watch as a citizen what a person with political capital can get away with and what line has to be crossed before any actual consequences are felt.

I think there is a lot that goes on behind the scenes on capital hill and other political and legal arena's that if we were privy to our mouths would drop wide open.

The whole system needs recalibrating.

No question that the police did not handle this well at all, to the point of fraternizing with the rioters (terrorists, really), and heads ought to roll because of it. None of this exonerates or mollifies Trump's role. He began to create this years ago, inflamed it over the past weeks and it all came to a head with his and Giuliani's speeches yesterday. In any other democracy, this sham would have ended long ago and the leader who dared to do this would have been unceremoniously removed.

I actually see a face that I know in the photo's, the photo below Police Department there is a guy in a blue jacket with a billy goat, this is Jon Schaffer from the Metal band Iced Earth which is one of my favorite bands well at least was I have always known he is a red neck and has worn a confederate bandana in the past but never paid it much thought, I have every CD the band has released but will not longer support this band

"A nation can survive it's fools and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within.

For the traitor appears not a traitor....

He speaks in the accents familiar to his victims and he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation.... he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of a city--he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to be feared."

Cicero, Roman statesman 42 BC

'It's time to get violent': Far-right extremists are promising more violence after the U.S. Capitol invasion
   
When both branches of Congress met during a joint session on Wednesday to certify President-elect Joe Biden's Electoral College victory, many journalists, law enforcement officials and national security experts feared that violence would occur in the streets of Washington, D.C. But it came as a major shock when a violent mob of pro-Trump extremists stormed the U.S. Capitol, a disturbing series of events recounted by reporters Andrew Egger and Audrey Fahlberg in an article published by The Dispatch the following day.

"The people most determined to start a riot at the Capitol were the ones who were there first," Egger and Fahlberg explain. "As Trump's speech dragged on, first a trickle, then a stream of rally-goers peeled off and started to march down the Mall. But by the time the first of them arrived, the mayhem was already underway. Protesters who had forgone the speech had pushed through a series of police barriers onto the lawn and had even scaled a tall scaffold near the steps of the Capitol itself."

The journalists go on to note that the "tension" in Washington, D.C. on January 6 "ratcheted higher still once news trickled out that Vice President Mike Pence, in defiance of Trump's repeated requests and threats, had announced he did not have the power to unilaterally throw out electoral votes." One angry Trump supporter, in response said, "Pence sold us out" — and two young women began chanting, "Hang Mike Pence! Hang Mike Pence!"

Egger and Fahlberg note some of the things that extremists had to say about the storming of the Capitol Building. Ron Russell, a Trump supporter from Ohio, told The Dispatch, "I see justice being done. This is our house, our house. We're taking it back. May not be today, but we will take this house back, guaranteed."

Robert Unterzuber, a friend of Russell, predicted that future attacks on the Capitol Building will be even more violent — telling The Dispatch, "We're coming to the Capitol, and we're going to tear her down if necessary and drag them people out of there."
