Ever since that moron republican Joe Wilson called out, "You lie" during President Obama's speech on healthcare in 2009, it has become more and more ugly and uncivil.

I find it incredible that so many people in our country and Congress are willing to betray our constitution — the latter betraying their oath of office.

Thank you....Diana--Hello, and welcome to the Dept.<br /><br />Thank you. I agree with you, of course. It's vital that the domestic terrorists who carried out the insurrection are arrested and charged with sedition and insurrection. And anyone who aided and abetted this murderous siege and coup attempt need to be charged and punished as well. This action was nothing less than an attack on our government and our country from within. It must never happen again, and we need to set an example now.<br /><br />Thanks for the encouragement. Hope to see you here again.Nancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17627214346956206283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15179498.post-62940523639811586332021-01-15T19:07:52.464-05:002021-01-15T19:07:52.464-05:00Well said.

I do not want this monster to ever hold any office ever again, nor do I want him provided with benefits of any kind. He has to leave in as much ignominy as possible.<br /><br />The more I read, the more incredible and sinister the insurrection becomes. Bombs, weapons, human feces spread upon walls, guns, flex cuffs, a gallows--and all of it organized and funded well in advance by organizational arms of his campaign. And as you know, I don't get my information from social media outlets. <br /><br />I know there are hundreds of support staff who are collateral damage to scenarios that occur in and around Washington DC. There is a White House staff member who was in the hospital with COVID for three months, suffering terribly, who had to have two amputations, thanks to 45* and his superspreader mentality.<br /><br />I want so much for 2021 to be a salvation year.

Safety first and always must be the motto of this administration.<br /><br />Rick and I watched in real time almost all day and into the night as long as we could stay awake. It was stunning to see the complacency of some republicans still. Others, as you say, were eloquent in their commitment to serve and continue the business of the government in defiance of the mob.<br /><br />The double standard of both the reaction and the readiness in this insurrection is glaring and bleak.

Top for me is rage, followed closely by disgust, sadness, frustration, fear, anger, and at some level, relief that our system is strong and our Congress went back and did the job after all of this.<br /><br />My BFF has a friend who is a staffer in the Senate, not an elected official. These people have not gotten vaccinations, so are even more susceptible to superspreader events like this. There was a lot of damage, obviously, inside the buildings, which cannot yet be repaired in preparation for the inauguration because it is a crime scene. <br /><br />Honestly, I have decided that this is still 2020, and I’m going with the lunar colander this year. I’m not willing to write off 2021 this early as being as bad. And I’m hopeful that they WILL impeach this coming week, and that Biden and Harris will remain safe.

I arrived there literally a few weeks after Franco's death, saw the birth of the Constitution, Spain entering the E.U., and a country generally breaking free of 40 years of dictatorship. It was a cultural eye-opener in every sense of the word. —I sure as hell never thought I would live to see the events going on now in this country. Congress *does* need to use the 25th Amendment and/or impeachment. What happened was horrific enough, but the potential for even more death and destruction is even scarier. Something must be done, and done quickly.

It's my understanding that hundreds of them have been outed by fb, twitter, tik tok, and other outlets. So many of them have been stupid enough to post video of themselves inside the Capitol and leave it up. Here in Cleveland, local news outlets have already identified three people and sent their reports to the FBI. One of them is a Cleveland public school teacher (she resigned), one owns a business and denies everything even though he is on video, and another is a man who said, "Some knuckleheads rushed the Capitol, but it wasn't me." Yeah, knuckleheads is the new word for people with bombs, flex cuffs, guns, and gas.<br /><br />I am thrilled with the Dems holding the Senate, the House, and the Presidency. It feels safer to me that way now. Like you, I hope for strong security and that any loyalists to the traitor are rooted out.<br /><br />I am guardedly optimistic.
