Oops.
Those Repubs that have come out swinging against it are far from being faithful, honest representatives of the people. They're merely getting rid of some necrotic tissue. At this point#DiaperDon is doing the party more harm than good. Time to lay low, regroup and attack our democracy another day.

Trump, Hawley and Cruz will each wear the scarlet ‘S’ of a seditionist
by George F. Will

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opini...555_story.html

Quote:
The three repulsive architects of Wednesday’s heartbreaking spectacle — mobs desecrating the Republic’s noblest building and preventing the completion of a constitutional process — must be named, and forevermore shunned. They are Donald Trump, and senators Josh Hawley and Ted Cruz.

Trump lit the fuse for the riot in the weeks before the election, with his successful effort to delegitimize the election in the eyes of his supporters. But Wednesday’s explosion required the help of Hawley (R-Mo.) and Cruz (R-Tex.).

Repube lawmakers really, really hate hearing the truth.

I'd be happy if just the threat of the 25th keeps Trump quiet for the next 13 days. Is suspect that some very frank conversations with him have made it clear that he do so.

He's not listening to anyone. He believes his own lies. He MUST be removed - too much damage he can still do in 13 days.

Angry

Wednesday Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who led President Donald Trump’s legal efforts to overturn his defeat in the 2020 elections, said the president’s supporters violently rioting at the US Capitol building were “on the right side of the law and history” in a tweet as the Senate chambers were evacuated on Wednesday. Earlier he called for "trial by combat".

Will somebody please lock this MF up?

If Donald-the-Traitor called for the horde to surround the WH to protect him from being removed don't think for a minute they wouldn't.

Adam Kinzinger @RepKinzinger

It’s with a heavy heart I am calling for the sake of our Democracy that the 25th Amendment be invoked.

Great, Adam. When you had the chance to impeach, your Repube buddies said no. So, now you want Pence and the rest of DiaperDon's loyalists to do the dirty deed!? Good luck with that! Tell you what - how about you impeach the piece of garbage yourself this time!?

But maybe the prospect of being the ONLY president to be kicked out of office for incompetence is enough to keep him in line until the 20th.
