Reporter just said writers of Constitution didn't know about Twitter, but they did know about 'demagogues who will try to inflame and jeopardize the rule of law,'

Reporter is holding R-minority leader McCarthy's feet to the fire.

"when are you going to call a spade a spade" ? "When are you going to admit Trump caused this?"

The first order of business for the House should be a snap impeachment vote today.

Trump has effectively snuffed out any of Mike Pence’s political ambitions. That’s the only beneficial consequence of the day, so far. Too bad that there are a dozen more sycophants waiting in the wings to woo The Base in Pence’s place.

Could they be planning that right now in some bunker underneath the Capitol building?

What a weasel. McCarthy condemns 'anyone who's ever incited anyone else' and 'there are many at fault.' BUT he won't say Trump.

Reporter backed off and said Giuliani said 'trial by combat,' is that okay? McCarthy said NO.

Reporter is losing it. When she said 'we wish you luck in trying to convince the President to speak to the nation and stop this,' McCarthy refused to respond.

YES. Can they remove him from office? A la the Caine Mutiny?

Just nabbed this off CNN and posting it to show the order in which these things happened. Pence went first.


less than 1 min ago
Ivanka Trump calls rioters 'patriots,' then deletes tweet
1 min ago
White House: Trump has directed National Guard and other 'federal protective services' to respond to riot
2 min ago
Vice President Pence calls for rioters to leave the Capitol building
And look at what Ivanka tried to do.

ETA: I deleted the phrase "goddamn stupid Ivanka" out of respect for the reader. But it won't last long.
