there were no counterprotesters around to challenge this crowd. These were all just Trumpster's. He had no excuse or fall guys to justify martial law and he would have alienated his own deplorables if he claimed martial law on just them. He didn't think it through.

losing an election.

He didn't care who was hurt, he didn't care about how the incident would damage our Democracy or our image in the world. It was a big party that he threw, but did not attend. His Presidency should be terminated by the 25th today before he does even more damage. Anything other than the termination is a dereliction of duty of the parties that have the power to do it. It is time to admit that there is a madman sitting in the throne of our government.

What will be his final performance on inauguration day? The danger is not over until he is gone. Two weeks can be hell of a long time.
