Congress will resume counting EC votes in an hour or so. Cruz and Hawley are being told to stop their protest. If they don't stop I assume McConnell and Pelosi will call for a floor vote to quash each protest they raise.
There has also been mention that Pelosi may ask the joint session to consider impeaching and removing Trump. All the players are there but it would take McConnell to agree to vote on that without any debate.
Sally, after all we have learned about Trump's character and lack of intellect; do you think he wrote his own papers at the Wharton School ?? NO WAY ?
The security team barricaded the door and drew weapons after the Trumpers broke the door glass. There was a woman who was shot, and has died, after entering the building and breaking glass somewhere inside. That death may be related to the attempted forceful entry into the congressional chamber by the Trumpers. How dumb does someone have to be to break windows to force access to a room with arm people on the other side whose job it is to protect the people inside. If that person does not get shot then the Trumpers would have forced themselves inside while Congress people were still trying to vacate. Hostages would have been taken, or worse.

They would have been written in Sharpie.

If I may ask, what is the back story on this?
A few years ago, before Trump and COVID dominated these threads, climate change and 'The War on Terror (WOT)" dominated instead. In one of the WOT threads, Igy explicitly called for the US Marines to not only take out ISIS fighters but also to slaughter their entire families, including infants, children, wives, . . . The reason being that those folks would only carry on killing Americans if left to live and grow up.
When called out, Igy never explicitly denied the words, just made roundabout references to stolen handles. When asked to explicitly denounce the notion of having US Marines murder babies, Igy refused to do so. Instead, he parried with his trademark, "Grow up, kid", "It's a tough world" and of course, juvenile cartoons.

Someone plagiarized a speech. Individual One led an insurrection against the US.
Pretty much equivalent.

So a president inciting an attack on the nation's capitol, and plagerism, are kind of the same thing?

He may have felt good about what happened today, but when he wakes up tomorrow he may not feel so good. Much of whatever support he still had will have melted away, and there will be calls for his resignation, impeachment, replacement under the 25th Amendment, or his arrest for sedition.
And by tomorrow morning, Biden's Electoral College win will have been confirmed, and Trump will have accomplished nothing.
The reality of this will be quite harsh to him.

He has added emojis and zerohendge to his stockpile of weapons.

Of course not but you guys have never criticized anyone on the left while I have routinely criticized Trump. Why the hesitancy in criticizing Biden or Harris?

Was he [Trump] responsible for the GOP adding all those seats in the House too?
As previously discussed on this thread, I think he probably *was* responsible in large part for the GOP's gains in the House (and other down-ballot races). A parting gift to the GOP, and truly a gift.
Be you for him or against, you'd have to admit that President Trump *brought people to the polls*. Millions of Republicans who otherwise might have apathetically stayed home went to the polls to vote against him (come on, who was motivated by Biden?) because they were tired of the madness--but then stayed Republicans for the rest of the races on their ballots.
Without Donald Trump the Dems would probably have lost few or no House seats and might have taken the Senate without having to worry about Georgia at all. So credit where it's due!

Listen up, whoever you are...Trump is responsible for turning Georgia blue (which is what I said). He did this by spewing this nonsense that the election was stolen. Because of this, he created a situation where CONSERVATIVE voters didn't trust the election process, so they stayed away. DEMOCRATS then pounced and got the vote out. IF he had not done that, he still would have lost the Presidency, but it is extremely unlikely that Ossoff especially would have won.
Let me know if you want me to beat you a second time.
Changing demographics and Stacy Abrams etal had a lot to do with flipping Georgia. Republican turnout wasn't as high as they needed it to be, but it was very high.
Also Georgia is a swing state that went barely blue for the national elections and heavily red for state offices. It's not a blue state.
All of those things had an affect. Trump's behavior did also, and I submit at least Ossoff would not have won had Trump not behaved that way.

We've been saying that since 2015. There are people, including many in Congress, that will support him no matter what.
Well, if there was any doubt. Trump has certainly cemented his title of " The Worst U.S. President". For 2 years, he has made Nixon look like a choirboy!

You said he seems to be a loving father but there is evidence against that. Would you like to take back your comment?

I will answer that if you first answer whether you think Biden and Harris are frauds for being plagiarists. Deal?

See, I don't even know about that. He has just shown to me who he is in this thread.
