We must ensure that Donald Trump can never hold public office again.

“I got called a n****r 15 times today,” the veteran officer shouted. “Trump did this and we got all of these fucking people in our department that voted for him. How the fuck can you support him?” “I cried for about 15 minutes and I just let it out.” buzzfeednews.com/article/emm…

Kevin McCarthy should be treated as a pariah - shunned from official Washington and the elite gatherings he loves attending. He and most of the caucus he leads are a threat to democracy.

Dear @tedcruz - Just stop. You know better. I know you know better. It’s not a fucking game. 5 people were killed. What the fuck is it going to take for you to end this shit? How many more 20-yr old staffers do you want to be terrorized and hiding in our offices?
Really sad. At a time of deep national division, President-elect Biden’s choice to call his political opponents literal Nazis does nothing to bring us together or promote healing. This kind of vicious partisan rhetoric only tears our country apart.

Some people ask: Why would you impeach and convict a president who has only a few days left in office? The answer: Precedent. It must be made clear that no president, now or in the future, can lead an insurrection against the U.S. government.

In June, federal agents deployed tear gas and rubber bullets on peaceful protesters to clear a path for President Trump's photo-op in front of St. John's Church. On Wednesday, insurrectionists were allowed, largely unobstructed, to pillage the Capitol. trib.al/cjFTBp3

This should be Donald Trump's future: Impeach. Convict. Remove. Indict. Arrest. Prosecute. Convict. Imprison. Bury with no honor, ceremony or public funds. That is all.

“One current Metro D.C. police officer said in a public Facebook post that off-duty police officers and members of the military, who were among the rioters, flashed their badges and I.D. cards as they attempted to overrun the building.” politico.com/news/2021/01/07…

THIS THREAD is from over two weeks ago. Why wasn’t DC prepared? TRUMP DIRECTED THIS⬇️
Pro-Trump forums are very excited about Trump's call for a mass DC protest on the day Congress counts the Electoral College votes. Many see it as the mobilisation call they've been waiting for.

People acting like this was shocking when it’s exactly what Trump said would happen while eagerly preparing to pretend it never happened is how authoritarianism burrows into a democracy. Shame on us if we don’t look at the deep roots of today and pull them out of the ground.

Why on earth is this man not under arrest and in prison
A man seen in a viral photo with his foot on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's desk is Richard Barnett of Gravette, Arkansas. 5NEWS spoke with Barnett and will air his statements about the event tonight on 5NEWS at 10. 5newsonline.com/article/news…

As a member of @HouseJudiciary, I am calling for the immediate impeachment of Donald Trump & his removal from office. I’m also calling for the expulsion of @GOP members of Congress complicit in inciting the attack on our nation’s Capitol. Their actions must have consequences.

I was one of 1,300 people who sat-in on the steps of the US Capitol in 2016 protesting money in politics and voter suppression. We were arrested en masse for demanding democracy. To see thousands allowed to storm the Capitol by force in a blatant coup attempt is beyond shameful.

Trump said last July he'd prosecute protesters who vandalized federal buildings. Today he tells armed terrorists who invaded our Capitol, “We love you — you’re very special.” Depends on whether you're seeking racial justice or a Trump dictatorship.
