Yeah I wasn’t there for that and I have no frame of reference for this picture aside from “Eww, Steelers.”

"One of the few things him and I agree on," @JoeBiden said of Trump's decision not to attend the inauguration.

Lindsey Graham approached by an angry crowd at the airport in DC, ranting "You traitor."

Imagine knowing how hated you are by both sides. Sucks to be you, Lindsey.

He bowed to Trump because it was convenient for him. Here are the consequences of trying to play with a fascist for convenience.

Yeah, that seems like a weird and dangerous talking point that circulated quickly. Capital police were incredibly outnumbered and probably outgunned from the get-go, there was no winning. For the officers on the ground, it was definitely a matter of strategic where/how to make a stand to keep the politicians and themselves safe.

That being said, the compete inadequacy of the decision makers to foresee and stop it from ever getting out of hand is seriously troubling.

This is the correct take, on both points that you made.

Sasse set his stall out a long time ago on Trump, I don't know why he didn't vote for impeachment last time.

Romney will definitely support this time, he knows the Mormon base has definitely moved on from Trumpism and he'll get more support by embracing a slightly more traditional brand of conservatism. I would expect other non-evangelical bases to do similar.

We'll see if Collins decides to actually do something or just say she's disappointed.

I flat out hate these Trump rioters and what they did.  And Trump's conduct though this whole thing has been a disgrace.  Trump and his avid supporters need to come to grips with the fact that "it's over" and what they did in Washington was a national atrocity.   

That said, has anyone here worked the last three days besides me ya bellyaching bunch o' stiffs?    lol
