I saw this on another site. The comments were hilarious. "We don't want Denethor II!" For any LOTR fans.

Adding: this is not "cancel culture". We all have the right to free speech, but we also have to accept the fallout from it as well. Free speech doesn't mean freedom from consequences.

One more thing: I've been watching the press briefings (thank goodness they're actual press briefings!) and I think there should be a drinking game: a shot/drink every time Press Secretary Jen Psaki says "I'll circle back around to you on that" lol. All the reports I've read said that she does actually, personally, check into the questions and get back to the reporters. Most reports I've seen call her "refreshing, real, intelligent and legitimate" lol.

I saw a simlar article in today's WSJ. I wonder if Psaki will get back to the reporters on her own with the answers to the questions that need research, or wait for them to bring up the questions again. I don't see any evidence that the press are going easy on her. Or Biden.

This article has a video in it. It is 10 minutes long and is mostly of the crowd outside of the Capitol, before, during, and after Trump's speech. I hadn't seen any of this video before. It was interesting to hear the crowd's reaction to Trump's speech. It was chilling to hear him again and to see the crowd intent on stopping the work of Congress. www.justsecurity.org/74335/fight-for-trump-video-evidence-of-incitement-at-the-capitol/

An attorney for a man from Michigan (I believe) who was the guy beating someone with a flag pole said his client had trouble adjusting to civilian life after he got out of the Marines. Ya think. I'm not looking forward to hearing the whiney excuses from the defense attorneys.

Unfortunately, I think we can look forward to more of her ilk in power in Congress. I thought I read that some recently elected Qanon supporter was appointed to a Congressional committee, but I can't remember who and I can't find anything on the net. ETA: OMG, it is Greene, appointed to the House Education Committee! Save us!

Yes, let's put a "kill people and believe conspiracy theories and taunt survivors of mass shootings" in charge of education...

ETA: OMG, it is Greene, appointed to the House Education Committee! Save us! This is appalling! I saw part of Nancy Pelosi's press briefing this morning. She said she cannot understand WHY anyone with her beliefs was put on an educational committee. Pelosi also talked about the danger within the House and when asked what she meant she said there are members advocating to be able to carry guns into the chamber and others who have made threats to other members. Scary.
