We are about to witness treason and sedition being promoted by Vice President Mike Pence, along with a dozen or more Republican Senators, and at least 140 House Republicans.
What is normally and traditionally a ceremonial counting of the Electoral Vote in a joint session of Congress, presided over by the sitting Vice President, is now becoming a mockery, as Donald Trump contested the result and has lost in every court setting, including twice in the Supreme Court with a Republican majority, including three Trump appointees!
Mike Pence is going along with a challenge in order to promote his own future Presidential candidacy, in the hope that Donald Trump will not run in 2024, and will support him, and the same is the reasoning why Senator Josh Hawley of Missouri and Senator Ted Cruz of Texas are leading a fight that undermines the Constitution and rule of law.
The 14th Amendment, Section 3, makes clear that what these Republicans in Congress and the Vice President are doing is promoting treason and sedition. By all rights, they should all face arrest, trial, and incarceration, as they are provoking dangerous and reckless behavior by Trump and his supporters, leading to likely confrontations, bloodshed, and violence on Wednesday, January 6, and even more seriously, on Inauguration Day, January 20, 2021, when Joe Biden and Kamala Harris are inaugurated President and Vice President.
America is not a banana Republic, but Donald Trump has no issue in burning down the Republican Party, and the future of public safety in the middle of a pandemic worsened by his own lack of concern for human life!
Mike Pence’s job on Wednesday is not to promote his own advancement, but rather fulfill his constitutional duty followed by every Vice President, those on the winning side of an election, but also those on the losing side, as for instance, Richard Nixon in 1961 and Al Gore in 2001.
History will condemn these law breaking Republicans and Mike Pence for the disgraceful actions they are taking, but at the end, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris will be in charge of the government in 17 days!
Audio has leaked of a phone call Trump made Saturday, pressuring Georgia officials to find votes to tilt the election to him.

This recording brings back memories of Watergate.
These recordings are worse than Watergate.
The representative for our house district is one of the 140 traitors.
Pence broke with Trump on Electoral College role.

Pro Trump protesters have cause the Capitol to be put on lockdown.
McTurtle made some remarks condemning the Trump-led election challenge.
Trump’s “proud boys” stormed the Capitol. Congress had to be evacuated. National Guard have been called in. He’s been egging them on. He needs to be charged for inciting violence.

In good news – Democrats won in the Georgia Senate race! 🙂
Biden nailed it. This is not a protest, this is an insurrection,
Trump spoke to his fascist mob attacking the Capitol: ‘I love you. You’re very special’.

I second what Winning Progressive tweeted. Very ironic.
“So, the former capitol of the Confederacy is now sending forces to DC to save us from the Neo-confederate forces being directed by the “President” who is occupying the White House. That’s some serious irony.”

Trump needs to be arrested for this.
Biden’s AG pick, Merrick Garland, has experience with the destructiveness of right-wing terrorism (such as what we are seeing today) and has experience prosecuting it: https://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Biden-to-name-judge-Merrick-Garland-as-attorney-15850318.php
CBS news reported that the Electoral College ballots are safe.
Write and vote on an Article of Impeachment for sedition. No need for investigation. Show Trump’s words telling his mobs to come, then telling them to March on Capitol. Send immediately to Senate. Tell Mitch to back up his fine words with action. This guy cannot stay in office for 2 more weeks.
I fear that there’s going to be a lot more of this all over the country. White ISIS isn’t going to ride off into the sunset any time soon.
Seconed, Rustlbelt. Just saw this on Twitter from Malcolm Nance a bit ago:
“WARNING: This massive national security failure at the Capitol could have led to massive hostage situation ending in executions and/or deaths. THESE STORMINGS WILL LIKELY OCCUR IN DEM STATEHOUSES IN NEXT 24-48 hours.”

This is clearly a coup attempt. I never thought I would actually see one here in the U.S. and it absolutely disgusts me.
NBC says that there were some explosive devices found. They’ve been safely defused.
Trump needs to be 25thed immediately!
Some Trump appointed US attorneys in Kentucky and Ohio are threatening prosecution against the insurgents.
Twitter has locked Trump’s account and is warning he could be banned.

They should have done that long before now!
