I foresee about 3,000 books written by people in the White House about the last few weeks.

Congresswoman Diana DeGette (D-CO) announces that they'll be starting the impeachment procedure against Trump for Incitement of Insurrection.

QuoteRep. Diana DeGette
@RepDianaDeGette

BREAKING: We are moving forward with introducing Articles of Impeachment against President Donald J. Trump.

He is a real danger to our country.

He must be removed from office immediately and barred from ever holding an elected office again.

Reports Mnuchin and Pompeo discussed the 25th and decided it would piss off the boogaloos even more.

Well no shit it will piss them off, but that shouldn't be the concern IMO.

Is there only one concern?

Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

I'll grant you that there is more than one concern, but "fear that we'll piss off the people trying to overthrow the government" shouldn't be one of them IMO.

It'd be a concern for those that want their vote in the future.

Yeah, for sure.

For a brief moment the "they're discussing invoking the 25th" made me hope that the GOP would decide to make it clear that attempting a coup was a line too far.

Sure, it's two sided, like much of life.  Pandering to bad people is bad.  Forestalling future violence is good.

I want less violence as well.  I would endorse working with Mitch and other Republicans who aided and abetted Trump for years to lower the temperature in this country.  But Trump needs to go before we can really do something.  Frankly his cult needs to be shown that Trump is through.  Peace is good, and we should be willing to pay a high prices for it, but any peace where Trump still commands loyalty in the GOP is an illusionary peace.

I want the fucker behind bars.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Don't be ridiculous.

Depends on whether insurrection is a felony.  Anyone who participates in a felony which results in a murder (which this was) is guilty of felony murder.

We can only hope federal officials have the balls to enforce the law.  I'd love to se every one of those fucks, including cute old lady doddering around while committing insurrection, banged up for 20 years.  That would reduce a lot of future murder.

Yeah IMO not throwing the book hard at these folks - including Trump - will result in more of the same since it apparently doesn't have any downsides to attempt a coup.
