General John Kelly: "He said that, in his opinion, Mr. Trump met the definition of a fascist, would govern like a dictator if allowed, and had no understanding of the Constitution or the concept of rule of law."

UPDATE: Republican Leader McCarthy: "Some say the riots were caused by Antifa. There is absolutely no evidence of that. And conservatives should be the first to say so. "  


From my friend Lee Arnold: 

 As the House opens its impeachment hearing, the District of Columbia National Guard says it has been authorized to arm troops assigned to security duty on the U.S. Capitol grounds. 

The Guard said in a statement that the authority was requested by federal authorities and approved by Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy as of approximately 6 p.m. Tuesday. 

Up to 15,000 Guard members are expected to be on duty in coming days in the district to support law enforcement in connection with the Jan. 20 inauguration of President-elect Joe Biden. 

Authorities are concerned about threats of violence, following the insurrection at the Capitol last week.

Members of the US military elite including former Army, Air Force & Navy generals, aides, and career advisors who served under multiple Presidents have issued an unprecedented warning that they have evidence that Shitler conspired with federal law enforcement to attempt a coup.

In the category of shocking but not surprising: CNN’s
@jamiegangel
reports that the WH is putting huge pressure on members, and that members are saying "they want to vote to impeach but they legitimately fear for their lives and their families’ lives."


This is what happens when Republicans think it's a good idea to put a crime boss in the presidency.

Throw the criminal out!!!

The death of irony: Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene wears a mask that says "censored" as she speaks into a microphone in the House Chamber on national television.

IF Dump did not incite the violence, WHY did they all stop and leave when they did, with the Q Shamen stating, "Trump told them to stop, they won, they delayed the vote" ???????? Only after, Dump told them to in fact stop.
