I'm reading the "Statement of Facts" for the individuals on the DOJ web page, very interesting to read how they build their cases.

Me too. I was just on the phone with a friend and told her I'm tired of going to bed worrying what the madman in the WH and his goons will do next, and waking up the next day with the same worries in my head. Too many crazies out there. Too many crazies everywhere. Too many here in the USA. They make my teeth hurt and I don't have many teeth left. I hear you. My digestion and skin have been acting up. I blame you-know-who.

I think the whole world will be glued to their TV sets, computers, tablets, and phone to watch the inauguration on Wednesday. And when that is over safely (I hope) there will be new threats made and the crazies will still believe something is going to happen to return Trump to the presidency. As Betty Davis said in a movie: "fasten your seatbelts, it's going to be a bumpy ride".

lani, Aha, I didn't look at all the results the search returned. The first few were for "ride" and then there were some for "night."

The guy wearing the horns and coyote tail hat will be in jail until his trial. His lawyer says he was just doing what the President told him to do and Trump should pardon him. The lawyer also while arguing for his release on bail said after all he meditates and eats organic food.

I wonder if 80 million people could do a class action lawsuit for emotional abuse against him?

he meditates and eats organic food. So do I, but I'm not trying to overthrow the government. What meditation can he be doing?

lani, I think the lawyer also mentioned he does yoga. In the Feds argument to not let him out they mentioned that he is in his own reality and has no respect for the law. I just watched a video put together by the Washington Post of what went on in the Capitol. It was scary. I think if the rioters had gotten to the lawmakers there would have been injuries if not deaths, unless there were enough good guys in the mob to stop it. They waited forever to evacuate the House and its gallery.

I read that Pence, his wife and daughter waited until the other lawmakers and staff were cleared from the chamber before evacuating the room himself, missing the rioters by mere seconds/minutes. That makes me think he may have some redeeming values after all. That and him calling Harris to congratulate her and offering his help, if she wanted it. I shudder to think of what might have happened to him, his wife and daughter if they'd caught them in the chamber

Pity the poor Trump supporters. Do they follow Trump to Florida for his big rally, or stay in the Capitol and protest?
Read that some of the more right wing conservatives are turning on Trump after he somewhat condemned the violence at the Capitol.
