Political commentators are falling into mistake that violent terror threats get less so if some mercy (no impeachment) is shown its leader. There is history of counterterrorism efforts that show otherwise. Only complete isolation, powerlessness, deplatforming, of leader works. 1/
At this late a stage, resignations help little beyond serving as late attempts at self-preservation.
If Sec. Chao objects to yesterday’s events this deeply, she should be working the Cabinet to invoke the 25th amendment - not abdicating the seat that allows her to do so.
All of a sudden Mitch McConnell and Senate Republicans are worried that someone in America might get a $2,000 check "who doesn't need it."
Funny. They had no problem giving a $1.4 billion tax break to Charles Koch and his family with a net worth of $113 billion. What hypocrisy!

The Electoral College needs to go.

A reflection on President Trump’s comments last night:
The last President I covered who refused to accept the vote count in an election was Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in Iran, 2009.
Who we are. What we stand for. Who we are going to be.
It's all at stake — and you have the power to determine the outcome.

Imagine GOP, if Sec. of State John Kerry gave a DNC speech on diplomatic trip.
Or if Michelle Obama changed Jackie Kennedy’s Rose Garden, then given a DNC speech there...dressed in Fidel Castro olive.
Or if Barrack Obama accepted nomination from WH.
The hypocrisy is endless.
📺 @realDonaldTrump is no longer hiding that he’s a brazen authoritarian, so desiring of control and power that he’s willing to turn our once peaceful cities into war zones.

@realdonaldtrump’s failed presidency has left the nation weaker, sicker, and teetering on the verge of a new Great Depression.
There’s mourning in America.
No American or the world can take confidence from what we just witnessed.
In the midst of an epic crisis-a moment that calls for calm, steady leadership, the @POTUS shows himself to be deeply unstable and erratic.
I believe this nation can overcome four years of Donald Trump. But if he’s given eight years in the White House, he will forever and fundamentally alter the character of this nation.
We can’t let that happen. We have to defeat Donald Trump.
