The Representante from Louisiana Mike Johnson just called the State and Federal Supreme Court judges who rejected the numerous Pro-Trump lawsuits "Rogue Officials"
If the situation was reversed they'd be defending the judgment of the "duly appointed (Republican) Supreme Court 😂

BREAKING NEWS. THE PROTESTERS OUTSIDE THE CAPITOL HAVE BROKEN INTO THE BUILDING. The building is in lockdown. Congress members and the vice president have been evacuated!
The Confederate flag flying inside the Capitol. Well, at least we all know what this is all about. Sad day for America.
I only have one thing to say to all Republicans: FUCK YOU TRAITORS! I HOPE YOU FRY IN HELL
(Left side) Trump insurgent screams "Trump won the election!"
This reminds me of the coup d'état perpetrated in 1981 in Spain by pro-fascist Lieutenant-Colonel Antonio Tejero (right image). "Operation Galaxy" was the codename of their effort to stop democracy after Franco died.
Rather slowly authorities are ramping up their response. The National Guard has been approved for a change of mission. Lawmakers will not be allowed back in until the whole complex is swept from Trump protestors and potential armed insurgents.
McConnell's speech shortly before Trump insurgents broke into the Capitol.
"attempting to overturn the 2020 election would put democracy in a 'death spiral'"
Too little too late Mitch. Your party aided and abetted a would be dictator and a Fascist cult
Where are the masked and unidentified Federal troops dragging people into into unmarked cars and taking them away? Where are the rubber bullets? The two Americas are very plainly obvious to me.
Earlier today. 😩
Why? Why wait so long to say the obvious. It's so late to be washing your hands after the Capitol was stormed. Graham could have said this weeks ago.
"He pushed -- pushed his staff and called. We're in a litigation mode with the President's team against the state of Georgia.. We let the lawyers handle it. We took the call and had a conversation. He did most of the talking. We did most of the listening." cnn.com/2021/01/04/pol…

"Texas's effort to get this Court to pick the next President has no basis in law or fact... The court should not abide this seditious abuse of the judicial process, and should send a clear and unmistakable signal that such abuse must never be replicated."
-PA AG Josh Shapiro
"This court has never allowed one state to co-opt the legislative authority of another state, and there are no limiting or manageable principles to cabin that kind of overreach."
-State of Georgia officials
"Federal courts...like state courts, lack authority to change the legislatively chosen method for appointing presidential electors..federal courts, just like state courts, lack authority to order legislatures to appoint electors without regard to the results..
@FutureOnFire@livingarchitect@spaceengineer14 Thread (1/n): A little history background is needed here because it's not taught outside of Mexico. In the 19th C migration from central Europe replaced the Spanish after 1821. Starting in the 1830s French migrants came in first, followed by Italian and German migrants...
@FutureOnFire@livingarchitect@spaceengineer14 (2/n) Latin America received migration from Central Europe too. That coincided with the industrial revolution. Mexico was invaded by the French if you recall. An Austrian prince, Maximilian was installed as Emperor in the 1860s when Mexico was already a Republic ( Benito Juárez)
@FutureOnFire@livingarchitect@spaceengineer14 (3/n) The issue is that this migration after the French left accelerated toward the late 19th century. Leaders like Gen. Porfirio Díaz who fought the French became impressed by the progress brought about by Maximilian. Like Meiji in Japan, Díaz decided Mexico would modernize too
