Republicans warned this day would come. Then they forgot.
Analysis: Many of Trump’s former rivals warned of something like Wednesday’s deadly insurrection at the Capitol but their concerns melted away once he was elected.

How convenient. Fucking cowards.

Derrick Evans resigns W.Va. House after entering U.S. Capitol with mob

Quote:
“I take full responsibility for my actions, and deeply regret any hurt, pain or embarrassment I may have caused my family, friends, constituents and fellow West Virginians,” Evans stated.
Ya think? You'll be a convicted felon soon. Maybe you can convince your fellow seditionists Teddy Cruz and Josh Hawley to resign? Thanks.

Kevin McCarthy’s profile in cravenness
The House minority leader stuck by President Trump even after a mob stormed the Capitol, killing a police officer. It’s not only a morally bankrupt position, but a politically perilous one.

So embarrassed that this clown represents part of the great state of California.

Yet Sen. Toomey this morning on CNN defends Repubs voting for Trump as preferable to voting for "radical democrats".

Most Repubs failed to do their due diligence to determine if Trump was fit to take office. There are notable exceptions such as George Will who has spoken out against Trump and said he would vote for Biden.

Standard Repub bullshit. Our guy's bad but yours is worse. It's what they've been using to scare the "suburban folk" for years.

Schwarzenegger has give a number of excellent video essays over the past four years, but I found this last, especially the evocation of loyalty to, and the affirmation of willingness to defend the legitimate democratically-elected leader, genuinely and unexpectedly moving.
