  1. We now know why so many people tiptoe around tRump. Considering that the House & Senate are in session together, I’m wondering if it’s possible that they had discussions about enacting the 25th Amendment…….while they were in an unprecedented lockdown.

  2. A day of infamy. For once I agree with W. I am appalled, dismayed, enraged, at what went on yesterday! I fear for what Donald Trump might do in the 13 days left to him. I ask myself why Capitol security was so ill prepared when the threat was so widely broadcast and violence so predictable? The mob should never have gotten close to the building.
