Correct. Anyone who knows how the Secret Service does their job day in day out would see Trump knew:

>The risk of violence that day was very high
>The security was minimal
>Pence & hundreds of other GOP were at risk
>Trump had a duty to deploy DCNG regardless of pushback
And I highlight the number of GOP allies at risk, including staff, interns, visitors etc bc even if you can somehow understand Trump not caring about danger to his opponents: reflect on the fact he didn't care about Pence, Karen, Charlotte, or buddies like Reps Jordan, Hawley.
I always knew Mike Pence was a good man, who would sacrifice everything for his country if he had to. The left's narrative is that he "enabled" the bad things they accuse Trump of doing years ago. Ever stop to think about how close he came to using 25A? Thank God Pence was there.
Trump's treatment of Pence on 1/5 and 1/6 was the smoking gun for me (and for many others.) Once you accept how wrong and dangerous that was for Pence (and actually for the future chances of conservatism unseating the Democrats any time soon), you cannot condone Trump's conduct.
When I see Trump fans whining about this or that Dem policy that's genuinely bad for the US, I'm unable to sympathize.

Because if Trump had acted like a leader worthy of our trust, iso a crybaby sore loser willing to see his own people killed, we might be able to oppose the Ds.
On top of the direct and flow-on effects of the pandemic, high unemployment & the start of high inflation that could become hyperinflation, a freezing cold winter period, & the long wait for those who WANT the vax to get it, we can't even do the needed job of an opposition party.
The position he & his insane friends have put us in is unforgivable.

I loved the historic policy achievements & shouted that from the rooftops from day 1.

He threw it all away. I welcome the Ds' case, even w/ it's minor false claims. The major facts are there for all to see.

(1) I think the lyrics of "Throwing It All Away" by Genesis, 1986 are a bit like how Pence must feel towards Trump. Or, how those who support Pence feel toward those still defending Trump's post election conduct.

Also, the story of Phil Collins...

(2) ... which isn't widely known, has some lessons in it.

Make no mistake, Phil Collins like virtually every other successful artist, actor and celebrity support the main left wing party in their country.

I'm past caring; I look for the human interest story behind that.
(3) Like me, as it happens, Phil Collins spent many years believing his life was essentially over, due to health issues.

How many of us have been through something similar? I'm betting that many of us have. Life can throw some nasty curveballs.

(1) I have no idea what is happening to me but I appear to have fallen under the spell of Stacey Plaskett. I mean, look at this badass photo from the inauguration last month. Hot damn.

(The others in the photo are Terri Sewell and Muriel Bowser.)

Here's a thread about Stacey.
(2) Yeah, I've spent 5 years talking about the inherent corruption & anti-Americanism of the Ds but things have changed certain people threw us all under the bus. The Ds are still all that.

I now see the lunatic fringe of the Rs as just as bad. We have work to do.
(3) Not everything Stacey Plaskett said in her presentation today really happened the way she said it did. There was some embellishment, that's politics.

There's going to be criminal prosecutions. Witnesses will be held to a higher standard.

Most of her stuff was on point.

(1) Thread: (Some of) the political implications of the death of Officer Brian Sicknick.

I've been finding the tweets of Matt Walsh thought-provoking and valuable as I try to understand our current situation. My reply to this tweet will need a thread.

(2) Matt Walsh is not the only conservative pundit focusing on the ways this LEO death is being used politically by both sides. It's now widespread, but I predict folk will move on to the next narrative line within a couple of days.

My view of it is fairly unique.
(3) Unfortunately for me, I happen to have learned a ton about health & safety, PTSD, brain injury, suicide prevention, & emergency management, through the experiences of loved ones & through work as a policy analyst/PR fixer.

3 LEOs working on 1/6 at the Capitol later died.

Just heard that Mary Wilson of The Supremes passed away age 76. Honestly she looked more like 46, right?

Been a while since I listened to this great music. Simply outstanding in every way.🎶👠

Oh yeah... these lyrics:

"Set me free, why don't cha babe?
Get out my life, why don't cha babe?
'Cause you don't really love me
You just keep me hangin' on
You don't really need me
But you keep me hangin' on"
"Why do you keep a-comin' around
Playin' with my heart?
Why don't you get out of my life
And let me make a new start?
Lettin' me get over you
The way you've gotten over me, hey"

(1) The position Ronna McDaniel and the GOP leadership are taking on this issue is ridiculous.

Dems aren't going to back down from this impeachment attempt, and asking them to do so just makes the situation worse for Americans beyond the Beltway.

Check out the ratio (so far):
(2) I've been trying to figure which policy area is top priority for me: foreign policy or "law and order."

I can't decide. But the GOP, which I support, isn't doing a great job at the moment of being the law and order party. The Ds never do, but that's beside the point here.
(3) The world is stuck with the effects of a Democrat-controlled exec branch in the US for the next 4 years at least, and not a great chance of loosening their grip on Capitol Hill within that time frame, either.

What an unmitigated disaster for freedom & security everywhere.

This pic of a health provider treating a patient at this time

WITHOUT PROPER PPE

should be the issue the public focuses on iso pt's choice to use Gorilla Glue. The mask is not N95 rated. No eye protection, gown, or hair covering. An example of why we can't have nice things!
I'm sick of seeing examples of health providers not using proper PPE.

IDC where you live, if Covid is in your community, then anyone going to any healthcare facility should use PPE correctly.

You are at high risk of spreading the virus to vulnerable people if you don't.
I'm also sick of people on all sides politicizing the pandemic.

Fucking grow up already.

I am at risk of Covid complications that could kill me or at least cause huge disruption and distress in my life, which I do not need anytime, including right now.
