Mob storms Capitol

There have been reports that an account surfaced on parler claiming to be an aide to Individual-ONE, saying that they were working to draft pardons for the Capitol Terrorists (probably not their actual words) and all they needed was names, addresses and charges for the vexed parties.

Newly elected rep Peter Meijer (R-MI):
I mean, we saw a number of senators and a handful of members of Congress change their perspectives. And I guess that's good, but it's not ideal. But what to me was the most bewildering was folks giving speeches that were written that morning as if we weren't in a body that had windows broken in just a few hours earlier, law enforcement drawing weapons. As if a woman hadn't been shot and killed 100 feet from where they stood, right? There was still dried blood out there.
...

And then one of the saddest things is I had colleagues who, when it came time to recognize reality and vote to certify Arizona and Pennsylvania in the Electoral College, they knew in their heart of hearts that they should've voted to certify, but some had legitimate concerns about the safety of their families. They felt that that vote would put their families in danger.​

"Patriots"
 
Some of the real patriots were a quick-thinking Senate aide and some staffers she directed to ensure security of the boxes of electoral votes from the attentions of the maruading hordes in the Capitol on Wednesday. It's not that the replicas of the documents don't exist in other locations, but to retrieve and affirm their authenticity would have been very time consuming, possibly delaying the inaguration. It would have made for an even more terrible day had the boxes been taken as souvenirs and the ballots perhaps burned as a symbol of meeting Trump's desire to overturn the election.

Arnie’s message is worth a watch. Some of the replies are unfortunately absolutely delusional. Apparently the coup attempt is now an excuse to punish the far fright. Well yes, when you do something wrong, then you are punished. Law and order? For some, sure. No, thank you, when it comes to us?

Wow.

That is superb, and I never thought that I would find myself saying - or thinking - such a thing about Arnie.

Beyond Impeachment, a Push for Ethics Laws That Do Not Depend on Shame (Published 2021)

If Republicans don't like the fact that a social media is banning people for inciting riots that lead to murders, they're sure aren't going to like this. Watching their heads explode for the next few years over common sense legislation is going to be satisfying.
