“The danger he poses is related to past dangerousness he has shown in terms of verbal aggression, boasting about assaults, paranoid reactions… This is a national security threat and the White House has a credibility crisis.” @pttrn_ntgrty #The25thFor45

“It cannot be that here and now in 2020 we allow the government of the people, by the people and for the people to perish on this earth. No, it cannot and it must not… WE WILL VOTE.” @JoeBiden in Gettysburg

“The FBI says white nationalism is a real problem, and the FBI wants to do something about it, but President* Trump doesn’t want to talk about that. He doesn’t keep the country safe.” @GenMhayden @RVAT2020

@RandyRainbow: If Donald got fired, we could go back to life as we once knew it — miserable and unfair but at least without the daily threat of complete authoritarianism and apocalyptic destruction…

@PattiLuPone: Wouldn’t that be nice?

American voters served our eviction notices to Donald Trump — and when he exits our executive branch and White House, his family and cronies leave, too…

#BuhBye @OhGreatItsEli @SarahKSilverman @staceyabrams
Donald Trump lost the 2020 election. He is the only president* in American history who is one-term, impeached, and lost the popular vote — TWICE. His refusal to concede means that every day the story is that he lost the election.

A majority of American voters have spoken…

President* Trump and Jared Kushner: YOU’RE FIRED.

Now PLEASE wear your masks and stop threatening national security.

#YOUREFIRED #YoureFiredTrump @LincolnsBible
President* Trump won’t concede so @feministabulous decided to do it for him...

What would a sincere Donald Trump apology — to women he has hurt — sound like?

“Joe Biden beat me in the election… It’s time for a change… The winner of this vote was decided by a fair and open election. Therefore I humbly concede to Joe Biden…” ~Jimmy Fallon Trump concession speech

“The work of the moment… must be the restoration of democracy, of decency, honor, respect, rule of law. Just plain simple decency. The renewal of a politics that's about solving problems…” @JoeBiden 1/6/21

"If you want to tell a Big Lie, which leads people to storm the Capitol… then you have to expect that people are going to call this not just authoritarianism but fascism." @TimothyDSnyder to @mehdirhasan

Please watch @derekjGZ explain in 3 minutes what would happen if President* Trump exercises his UNCHECKED power to order a nuclear strike. The launch itself could happen in as few as 5 minutes… #NoFirstUse

"We know that the president* of the United States incited this insurrection, armed rebellion, against our country. He must go. He is a clear and present danger to the nation that we all love." @SpeakerPelosi

“President* Trump has falsely asserted he won the 2020 election and repeatedly sought to overturn the results of the election… The House must reject this outrageous attempt to overturn the election and incitement of violence by a sitting president against his own government.” ✨ Image
"THEY COULD HAVE KILLED US ALL... It is a bit much to be hearing that these people would not be trying to destroy our government and kill us if we just weren't so mean to them." @RepRaskin @jamie_raskin

“No one is above the law, not even the president of the United States. Donald Trump is a clear and present danger to our country. Our oath of office is to protect and defend the Constitution.” @SpeakerPelosi

He will never voluntarily stop. So now it is up to us, our lawmakers, and our laws, to outlaw his serving in future office — and to deal with America’s ongoing epidemic of domestic terrorism that he foments.

Why isn’t “Koch network and Trump campaign funded January 6 Capitol Coup insurrectionists” a bigger story??


“This is what Republicans in the Senate want you to forget... NEVER FORGET! These are Trump Terrorists! Call them by their name!” @JoeNBC @therecount

They all spread #TheBigLie, helping 45* incite insurrection.

“There are no consequences in the Republican caucus for violence. No consequences for racism. No consequences for misogyny. No consequences for insurrection. And no consequences means that they condone it. It means that that silence is acceptance." @AOC

In this time-lapse animation, ~40% of smartphones tracked near the January 6th Trump rally “were also in and around the Capitol during the siege — a clear link between those who’d listened to the president* and his allies and then marched on the building.”
January 6, 2021 Trump quotes:

12:16pm — “You’ll never take back our country with weakness.”

2pm — Insurrectionists attacked Capitol

4:20pm — “We love you. You’re very special.”

6pm — “Remember this day forever!”

The Next Day — “Our incredible journey is only just beginning!”
“Over 100 officers seriously injured: Brain injuries, head trauma, one officer lost 3 fingers, another officer because of assault on him is likely to be blind. Officer Sicknick died, blood was spilled, 2 other officers are no longer with us…” @RepJeffries
”We should not establish a precedent where every president on the way out has weeks to try to incite an armed insurrection against the Union and if it succeeds he becomes a dictator.” @RepRaskin

Acquittal means outgoing presidents can be lawless. CONVICT.
January 6 was so much worse than many people realize.

President* Trump violated his oath of office, attacked the democratic process, imperiled Congress, and undermined national security.
