Jake Tapper summarized the case about Donald Trump’s traitorous actions here. Watch this video.
What happened on January 6 was a failed coup. Many of Trump’s MAGA base joined the mob innocently.
But the mob was led by trained militia men, equipped to take hostages, prepared with flex cuffs, which police use to handcuff suspects.
The mob chanted “Hang Mike Pence.”
The mob knew the location of the secret Capitol offices of Democratic leaders.
They went looking for them.
Members of Congress exited the Chambers only a minute or two before the mob. If they had not escaped, there would have been mayhem.
The mob would have seized the leaders of Congress and VP Pence, handcuffed them, perhaps given them a show trial, perhaps executed them.
What then? Our democracy and our Constitution shredded. Would Trump declare himself President for Life?
What happened was terrifying. What might have happened would have been far, far worse.
Trump toadies are incorrigible. How to explain the members of Congress who emerged from their hiding place to vote to sustain Trump’s lies and to overturn a free and fair election? How to explain the perfidy of Senators Cruz and Hawley? How to explain the majority of House Republicans, who voted in support of a man who incited a coup against our democracy and our Constitution?
There must be a full investigation, including an inquiry into why the Defense Department, led by Trump toadies, did not send the National Guard to the Capitol for four hours and denied the governors of Maryland and Virginia permission to send their National Guard to protect the seat of our government.
Donald Trump is a traitor.
Donald Trump incited a coup attempt.
Donald Trump is a fascist.
Donald Trump must be held criminally accountable for his actions.
Diane Ravitch's blog 
That he is!
exactly
Humpty trumpsy is a TRAITOROUS LIAR. He needs to be prosecuted or America is lawless.
Trumpsy dumpsy is a SEDITIONIST who works for Putin, who’s laughing right now at America.
We cannot duck our responsibility because Trump might “portray himself as a victim.” So what? It would be just more responding to his ability to intimidate. We would just, again, be playing Charlie Brown to Lucy’s football. CBK
He always plays the victim. That’s his game. Poor billionaire.
Well said, CBK!
LOL, Diane, exactly. Poor Donnie!
I’d like to post a two inch high BOLD underlined YES!
I worry that if Trump is not removed quickly from office, he will pardon the seditionists as his last act as President.
Here is more schit from the far R.

Twitter’s Ban of Trump Just Opened an Entire New Line of Criticism
January 10, 2021 Ryan Green Donald Trump, Latest News
…Those tweets are fine, yet, “I will not be going to the Inauguration on January 20th,” when said by Trump, was an incitement of violence?
Twitter crossed another line on Friday night, though, when it censored posts from Trump which came from the official @POTUS government Twitter account and hinted at possibly building a new platform for free expression.
“As I have been saying for a long time, Twitter has gone further and further in banning free speech, and tonight, Twitter employees have coordinated with the Democrats and the Radical Left in removing my account from their platform, to silence me — and YOU, the 75,000,000 great patriots who voted for me,” Trump tweeted. “Twitter may be a private company, but without the government’s gift of Section 230 they would not exist for long.”
The tweets were deleted within a matter of minutes, but then Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey and his geeks went a step further. They suspended the Trump campaign’s “Team Trump” page after Trump tried to use that account to send the same messages.
President Trump is now banned from speaking to the American people on an American platform which allows foreign hate accounts to spread propaganda. One of either of those countries could attack us, and the president might not even be able to speak out about it, depending on whether the establishment media decided to join Big Tech in censoring him as well.
This is now a national security situation, with a handful of billionaires in California preventing the American people from being able to hear from their president, yet we’re told Trump is the one guilty of attempting a coup.
Twitter failed if it intended to neutralize him, though.
In silencing the president, the script has flipped. After Wednesday, Trump was the media’s public enemy no. 1 — again — after he was blamed for the Capitol violence. Following the unprecedented censorship Friday, Trump is now the singular figure representing a resistance to tyranny and a refusal to conform to the authoritarian left.
Twitter also set a new standard: If the company is going to exile an American president, it had better be ready to explain and justify why the leaders of authoritarian regimes like China and Iran are still allowed to have a voice on the platform.
Here is what one commenter had to say:
Criticism hell! Time to start shooting. Anyone who knows knows an employee of any of those companies needs to take action on that individual. Time to be proud and forceful boys.
!!!!
carolmalaysia “Twitter also set a new standard: If the company is going to exile an American president, it had better be ready to explain and justify why the leaders of authoritarian regimes like China and Iran are still allowed to have a voice on the platform.”
So, they ALSO think Trump’s actions are NOT OKAY . . . any more than they are in China.
How telling is that. CBK
The whole article was quite long and there was no link. Here is part of it from the beginning.
……………..
Twitter permanently banned the sitting president of the United States of America on Friday amid a broader Big Tech purge targeting conservatives, yet tweets from an actual terrorist and the communist Chinese regime were allowed to remain to spread propaganda on the platform.
President Donald Trump was censored for 12 hours in the days following the incursion at the Capitol on Wednesday, but the writing was on the wall when Facebook and Instagram followed suit. Those platforms signaled the president might not be back.
Twitter acted first Friday with a permanent ban, actually justifying the death of free speech by blaming Trump for tweeting that he would not be attending Joe Biden’s inauguration. This is arguably an assault on freedom of expression, as tech oligarchs are working in tandem with Democrats to silence dissent.
Sen. Lindsey Graham or someone like him will probably put an angry letter in the mail going somewhere, but it’s clear the GOP doesn’t care about censorship. The party’s elites don’t care about us. They let Big Tech cross the Rubicon.
Trump posted two tweets Friday which Twitter said initiated the lifetime ban.
“To all of those who have asked, I will not be going to the Inauguration on January 20th,” one of those tweets read. Twitter said that the post was potentially dangerous.
“President Trump’s statement that he will not be attending the Inauguration is being received by a number of his supporters as further confirmation that the election was not legitimate and is seen as him disavowing his previous claim made via two Tweets (1, 2) by his Deputy Chief of Staff, Dan Scavino, that there would be an ‘orderly transition’ on January 20th,” the company said.
OK, so not attending Biden’s big party is a “glorification of violence” (Twitter’s words, not mine) but a tweet Thursday from the Chinese Embassy in the U.S. Twitter account that painted Uighur concentration camps as a victory for women was up for a day and Twitter was initially cool with it.
“Study shows that in the process of eradicating extremism, the minds of Uygur women in Xinjiang were emancipated and gender equality and reproductive health were promoted, making them no longer baby-making machines. They are more confident and independent,” the account tweeted.
The tweet drew outrage, but it did not violate any terms of service until late Friday night, when Twitter finally took it down. But it sat up for about a day as a symbol of the contempt Silicon Valley has for America and conservatives. The account is still active.
Then there are these recent tweets from Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Sayyid Ali Hosseini Khamenei — one of which actually prods the current unrest in the US — which were still up as of the writing of this article.
Khamenei.ir (@khamenei_ir) Tweeted:
The US openly says its interests require instability in this region. The US wanted to start a civil war in #Iran in 2009, & now God has afflicted them with the same predicament in 2021. The recent chaos reached a point where #Congress members had to escape through secret tunnels.
Twitter et al can censor whatever the hell they want to, they are private companies. Why do they want to? Because they don’t want to be settling lawsuits from now till kingdom come brought by folks damaged or killed by violence incited via their platforms. This one case where privatizaion is a good thing. Don’t want to be “tyrannized” by social media? Get off it.
Diane and most of the brilliant people who comment here knew in 2016 that Trump was a horror show that had to be kept out of the White House. I knew then that Trump was bad but I had no idea that he would be this bad to the point of being a traitor to our fragile democracy. Sorry, but I am still infuriated at the rigid doctrinaire progressives who refused to vote for Hillary in the general election and instead voted for the Green Party candidate.
Apologies for the old history but the same people told us not to vote for Biden in 2020 because he was no better than Trump!!!!
All that being said, I am more than a little worried for the safety of the inauguration on Jan. 20th. The right wing militia groups, neo-Nazis and fascists have made it clear that they will try to sabotage the inauguration ceremonies, I sincerely hope it will be better protected than the Capitol building was on Jan. 6th.
Agree!
It is a very good thing that Amazon pulled the plug on Parler for a week or so, for that site was seething with calls for Civil War and murderous action against the country’s leaders at the time of the inauguration.
The NYT has an opinion piece by historian Timothy Snyder that really pulls altogether many of the various facts and incidents to make a convincing argument about the danger the US is in.
“America will not survive the big lie just because a liar is separated from power. It will need a thoughtful repluralization of media and a commitment to facts as a public good. The racism structured into every aspect of the coup attempt is a call to heed our own history. Serious attention to the past helps us to see risks but also suggests future possibility. We cannot be a democratic republic if we tell lies about race, big or small. Democracy is not about minimizing the vote nor ignoring it, neither a matter of gaming nor of breaking a system, but of accepting the equality of others, heeding their voices and counting their votes.”
“Opinion: The American Abyss”
It’s extremely important that the impeachment and conviction of Trump be carried out. If it isn’t, he will receive, for life, money from the taxpayers of the country that he betrayed, including funds for setting up an office and paying a staff. Should the taxpayers really be providing the funds for Trump to establish an office and pay some slimeball like Stephen “Goebbels” Miller to write Trump’s Mein Kampf? the book to come after Trump’s failed Beer Hall Putsch? Should taxpayers provide the funds for Trump to CONTINUE the crazy, baseless, incitement that led
to the deaths in Charlottesville (Trump: They want to destroy your monuments, erase our history. They hate America. Good people on both sides.)?
to the murderous attacks on synagogues (Trump: A caravan of rapists and murderers organized by George Soros!),
to the deaths during the anti-BLM confrontations (Trump: BLM is Antifa. They’re Socialists! Take back your country. Liberate Ohio! Liberate Michigan!),
to the deaths at the Capitol (Trump: Stop the steal! Fight! You don’t take back your country with weakness! Patriots, we love you!)?
Do we, the taxpayers, fund a further forum for this wannabe Fuhrer to use to carry out his parting promise to the ignorant, murderous, white supremacist, insurrectionist mob (Trump: I know you’re disappointed, but this is only the beginning)?
And then there is what comes after all this. The only way to prevent what I am calling The Trumpling Scenario–the emergence of a younger, smarter, more charismatic, more knowledgeable, more articulate, more competent fascist who will assume the Orange mantle; pick up Trump’s moronic and extremely base base; expand that base; assume power; and put in place toadies at the heads of all instruments of state power to end our democratic system of government for good–is to prosecute Trump and the co-inciters of this insurrection, such as Cruz and Hawley, to the fullest extent possible. Impeachment, conviction in the Senate, and then criminal indictment for Trump. Expulsion for Cruz and Hawley, preventing them from ever again holding an office of public trust. Anything short of these responses will be a rubber stamp on the ugly events of January 6 and will embolden those, more competent than Trump ever was, who would destroy democracy.
Some have chosen to look away again and again. See where that got us?
Never again.

Excellent piece! Thank you!
Trump is an instigator and a catalyst. He gave a voice to the underbelly of the Republican Party. While these militias have a long history of refusing to accept the authority of laws, their noxious influence has never been felt in Washington, D.C. before. Ever since Obama was elected and the Tea Party or “Freedom Caucus” emerged in Congress, politics have become a partisan blood sport. Trump exploited the racist, fascist tendencies of those feeling threatened by shifting demographics. The attack on the Capitol is the fruition of four years of hate speech and attack on minorities and Democrats.
Common Dreams reports that nearly half of Republicans polled think the actions of the Capitol vandals were justified.
“In fact, a greater percentage of Republicans (45%) actively support the storming of the Capitol than oppose it (43%). Overall, 71% of registered voters are opposed to the coup attempt, including 96% of Democrats and 67% of Independents.”
We have a great deal of work to do in this country. As educators we need to send a message to our people that public education is a much needed way to unite a divided, fragmented and mistrustful people. We need strong, equitable, democratic, uniting public education more than ever.https://www.commondreams.org/news/2021/01/07/poll-shows-nearly-half-gop-voters-lied-right-wing-media-approve-us-capitol
The underbelly of the Republican Party has turned up for all to see in this “follow the money” account. Major corporations will try to say “not me” action agenda, but this is a great example of investigative reporting.
https://documented.net/2021/01/republican-attorneys-general-dark-money-group-organized-protest-preceding-capitol-mob-attack/
Holy crap. It’s all there. Including a robocall announcing the rally, “and at one o’clock we will march on the Capitol…”
It indeed deserver a Holy crap!
“I’m calling for the Rule of Law Defense Fund with an important message,” the robocall stated. “The march to save America is tomorrow in Washington D.C. at the Ellipse in President’s Park between E St. and Constitution Avenue on the south side of the White House, with doors opening at 7:00 a.m. At 1:00 p.m., we will march to the Capitol building and call on congress to stop the steal. We are hoping patriots like you will join us to continue to fight to protect the integrity of our elections. For more information, visit MarchtoSaveAmerica.com. This call is paid for and authorized by the Rule of Law Defense Fund, 202-796-5838.”
After CNN reported on this, I wrote to Ohio’s attorney general and asked why he failed to stop his organization from fanning the flames by supporting Trump’s lies.
I see it a little differently. Politics has been growing in popularity as a partisan blood sport at least since Gingrich. He brought it to the floor of the House from its already-established base in rwtalk-radio. The Tea Party grew out of that (and Reaganism). The TP resonated with prosperity-evangelists [only some of whom are openly racist], and also got acceleration from white supremacists reacting to the first black president. But they had been coming out from under their rock since Reagan with his ‘welfare-queen’ talk, compounded by Clinton welfare-reform, & simmering all along due growing rich-poor divide, and immigrants taking low-wage jobs. You say the militias never affected DC before, but they certainly gained national attention in the ’95 OK City bombing, and a number of other incidents. Trump is no doubt the highest profile example, but other government actors have been stirring this pot since before the Obama era.
He is as described all of the above and was enabled for 4 years by silence. Liar. Cheat. Anti-regulation. But worse (if possible) he’s anti-government and anti-authority. But he was also the gameshow host who howled at the moon. The MAGA boys and women loved it but never thought it would go this far.
The Timothy McVeighs who showed up Wednesday were waiting for the invitation, the tweet that set them free. The MAGA cheerleaders and enablers got on their buses and under their desks.
Yes, INVESTIGATE. Charge him. Indict him. (Along with each person who breached the Capitol one by one). Investigate and let the courts, public opinion, and history find him a criminal. But – – If Congress, aka, “government” does it in 9 days, he’s a martyr – somehow the wealthiest victim on the planet with a microphone – and the anarchists will be validated, baited, and feel justified to invade again.
Donald Trump knows he is a fascist and a traitor so on January 20th when the country is focused on Biden being sworn in as the next president, will Trump flee the country to one where he can not be extradited so he can avoid justice?
It is obvious to me that Trump has already prepared to continue his opulent lifestyle to his last breath by laundering over $600 million dollars in campaign contributions through a family shell company.
“Kushner helped create shell Trump campaign company that secretly paid family members, report says”
“Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner allegedly created a shell company that secretly paid the president’s family members and spent more than $600 million, a report says.
“The payments to the Trump family and top advisors through the company helped shield financial details from the public, according to Business Insider. …

Once in Russia, will Puttin reward Trump with an endless stream of young (ages 13 – 25) trafficked white-skinned, blonds to keep him warm at night?
“It is reported that teenage girls are primarily sexually exploited in brothels, hostels, saunas, and increasingly in private apartments.”

And, like most traitors who fail, Trump should be forced to leave the country or lose his skin. There’s nothing ‘loyal opposition’ about a failed attempt at a violent unconstitutional takeover.
There’s a real risk if we fail to hold Trump, his donors, Fox News & every Republican enabler to account. We have an historical precedent after the Civil War and the collapse of Reconstruction and growth of the KKK and Jim Crow.
“More than virtually any other high official in public service, Attorney General-designate Garland is closely acquainted with the poison that has built up in our body politic over the past 50 years, the poison that made Trump’s presidency possible and which Trump has come to command — the poison that was on display when the Capitol temporarily fell prey to the mob. If Trump is left unprosecuted, let alone unpunished, for his crimes — not for his bad behavior or his boorishness or even his demagoguery, but for his multiple violations of federal law — that poison, too, will remain unchecked, ripe for exploitation by future would-be Trumps. The failure after the Civil War to hold the secessionists fully accountable for their treason helped pave the way for the overthrow of Reconstruction and the installation of Jim Crow. Just as the harrowing scenes at the Capitol are a distant historical reminder of Fort Sumter, so they affirm the extent of the damage Trump and his confederates have done to our country. That damage demands their prosecution.”

Rich irony here. Gingrich. The man who brought uncivil name-calling and seditious language off rwradio and onto the floor of the House. Just the day before he was in print condemning corrupt city govts for stealing the election.
Comments above:
Well said.
May I add this too:
The Republican parity with enabled this tyrant
is to blame, if not equally, perhaps even more so.
They could see or should have seen what this person
is .and yet rubber stamped everything he chose to be and do.
Still because of all this there are still a sizeable group of people,
INCREDIBLY who support Trump and his allies.
Trump;s legacy is insane, tragic and most frightening.
When so many people support lies ad nauseum that are so
very prevalent, and more tyrants in the future now know this, how veer easily people are led what will the future hold. Fragile is hardly strong enough concerning democracy..
Democratic governess has a history of not lasting that long
and dark forces with their own agenda may cause us to implode,
something for which our enemies have been waiting.
On this blog I well remember so many who IMPLORED our friends to
vote and prevent this monster from taking office. Too many did not heed
that with the result we now see. The ounce of prevention did not happen
I wonder if that lesson has been learned and/or if it is too late. Some things
cannot be undone. B UT we must TRY for all we are worth. Eternal vigilance the price
pf democracy.
Well said, Gordon.
Of course, we had the McCarthy era, the last time a mental anomaly rose who threatened our government structure rose to such a prominent national position of influence. That, however, was eventually defused (narrowly) and the system became more cautious.
Then, there were the remarkable assassinations of Martin, Bobby and John. Some consider this to be a somewhat successful coup that has yet to be explained.
I’ve tried to think, though, about a recent ‘watershed’ moment, and I find the ‘Newt’ gospel to be that moment. Newt taught Republicans that winning was everything, and that rhetoric was more important than substance in achieving that goal (Propaganda Uber Alles). The tactic of dividing people and encouraging hatred became Party policy. Today is the result.
Condemnation of the role conservative religion plays- no where to be found at this blog nor in msm.
Recent studies found, “Acceptance of dominant male hierarchy predicted a positive evaluation of Trump over and above any sexist, racist or homophobic attitude a voter may have,”
Conservative churches that normalize authoritarian, male hierarchies groom the nation for men like Trump.
All Americans should read an article written by an adjunct professor at George Washington University posted in Christian Recorder, 1-3-21,
about religion and politics in Georgia.

Take Action: Call-in Day Supporting “For the People Act”
The Franciscan Action Network has made democracy reform a hallmark of its advocacy for years because over the past decades, our democracy and the power of the American people have continued to diminish, broken long ago by the influence of wealthy donors and corporate interests. If people of faith are ever going to see progress on the policy issues we care about, we must have a democracy that responds to the needs and priorities of the voters.
There is a chance to turn it around by passing the For The People Act, the most sweeping set of reforms to our democracy in a generation — but to get this done, we need your help. Call your U.S. House Representative TODAY at 1-888-246-5947 to urge them to support passing the For the People Act as a first order of business in the new Congress.
If passed, the For the People Act would:
Drive big money out of politics;
Restore voting rights and offer new protections for voters;
End gerrymandering so that electoral districts are fairly drawn; and
Hold government officials accountable with new ethics standards.
Take 5 minutes and call your Representative today and then email us to let us know how it went. Thanks for everything you do.

Latest Gun Violence Data from the CDC
Newly-released data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows the overall gun death rate in the U.S. increased 17% from 2010 to 2019. A joint review of CDC data by the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence and sister organization Educational Fund to Stop Gun Violence (ESGV) found increases in both homicide and suicide rates contributed to the overall change; in that time period, the firearm homicide rate increased 26% and the firearm suicide rate increased 12.5%.
From the press release:
“What’s obvious from today’s data is that gun violence in the U.S. remains persistently high, and lives will continue to be lost needlessly without meaningful national leadership,” said CSGV Executive Director Josh Horwitz. “To stem this tide, we need to adopt a comprehensive public health approach to gun violence prevention that includes robust legislation and funding from Congress and executive action from the new administration. … We cannot solve a problem we cannot quantify, and without timely data, we lack the information we need to make the best possible decisions.”
Visit the Educational Fund to Stop Gun Violence website for additional 2019 statistics and the PreventFirearmSuicide.com project for detailed data on firearm suicide.
A few follow-up questions, (1) How much money do they have? Does the amount compare to what the state conferences which were created for the sole purpose of influencing public policy have ? (2) how much influence in the media and in national and state capitols do they have compared to the right-wing set-up? (3) Are there Franciscan women priests?
(4) What have they done to stop the Catholic doctrine version of the Pledge of Allegiance to the United States of America which is recited in some major Catholic schools?
Linda “Condemnation of the role conservative religion plays- no where to be found at this blog nor in msm.”
On THIS blog? Are you kidding? Look again . . . your own posts are the constant example that the above is NOT TRUE.
Also, whatever is true about what you say, and whatever truth we can get to after digging through your anti-religious bigotry, is a PERVERSION of both Catholic teaching and, in the larger picture, New Testament Christianity itself, not to mention many other religious orders and their religious teachings. (I have said this before here.)
Here’s a clue for you: Not everyone shares your apparent deep resentment of all-things religious. CBK
Addressed to no person in particular-
National Catholic Reporter 1-11-2021, “…mob rule and those who support it”, to be read along with, National Catholic Reporter, “Money Trail Tells the Tale of EWTN”, 7-18-2019.
An organization that requires students to recite the Pledge of Allegiance to the United States of America and exacts fidelity to church doctrine as if it is integral to the Pledge deserves full contempt.
For that organization to also plot politically to get tax money intended for public schools diverted to private and religious schools and that plots to fill federal court judgeships with its supporters, should be targeted for contempt.
An organization whose members condone its leaders prohibiting employees from voting in Democratic primaries with legal back-up for their authority, the opinion of the state conferences also deserves utter contempt.
For those blog readers who (spinning it as generously as possible) believe it is above their pay grade, to express opinions on the subject, I ask them to reconsider before another election results in a Republican majority. If not you, who is to be the champion against the formidable and highly successful political force?
Maybe Trump should start a new grocery store chain called Traitor Don’s (TM)
What can I buy at Traitor Don’s? Are there chocolate covered bombs? How about sugar-free QAnons, Or Proud Boys’ made decaf cannons?
Now this is a much clearer talk about what happened on Wednesday and what needs to be done. Robert Reich is also clear

Big Pharma In Outrage Over Donald Trump’s CBD: Noble Hemp Gummies – He Fires Back With This!
By Alice Palmer, Monday, January 11, 2021
(ET) – In an emotional 1-on-1 interview, one of America’s most respected politicians revealed that he wouldn’t be where he is without CBD.
We all know and love Donald Trump as the charismatic leader who has never been shy about advocating for marijuana use. He has always been focused on working for people and improving life in America. However, he shocked everyone when he announced his new CBD line, Noble Hemp Gummies, would be the next step in his career.
In recent developments, Trump revealed that he would be stepping away from the spotlight to put more time into his wellness business, now that it has grown so fast:
“This was a really, really difficult decision for me. When I started this whole thing back in 2015, it really was just a part time passion project and a way for me to give back. Now here we are almost 5 years later and Noble Hemp Gummies has steadily grown into a full-fledged business that’s helped thousands of people become pain free and much happier. My line gives me a chance to do something bigger than politics and I knew I would regret it for the rest of my life if I let that opportunity pass me by.”
Trump went on to say that he never really expected things to get this big and that his party and sponsors were furious that he was splitting up his time. In fact, relations with his party grew so tense that they ended up giving him an ultimatum – acting or his wellness line.
He knew he would receive scrutiny from fans and sponsors for quitting, but he felt it was time to work on something that would positively change the lives of millions of people.
The product Trump is referring to is his breakthrough CBD wellness line Noble Hemp Gummies. The politician has spent the past four years developing a line of highly effective and highly potent wellness products that he claims are the solution for those who don’t want to resort to using opiates.
His product Noble Hemp Gummies sold out within ten minutes when first launchedand it seems the world can’t get enough of the benefits and results.
Trump even admitted that big pharma companies are furious with him after noticing a large decline in sales since Noble Hemp Gummies was launched on the market.
“Users of Noble Hemp Gummies are experiencing results that before now were only possible through prescription medication. It’s obviously a much cheaper, and safer alternative and because of that pharmaceutical companies are finding it harder to keep patients using their prescriptions.”
Having a crowd of angry pharmaceutical companies is a unique and effective endorsement for Noble Hemp Gummies, but Trump has still been proactive in getting Noble Hemp Gummies into the hands of those who need it.
Noble Hemp Gummies has been found to have a positive impact on key body functions including – neurological, physical, and psychological.
This includes but not limited to:
Reduces Chronic Pain
Supports Joint Health
Reduces Anxiety
Reduces Headaches
Reduces Blood Sugar
Supports Cognitive Health
Antioxidant Support
While making an appearance on ‘Fox’ he gifted the cast and crew with Noble Hemp Gummies products and made sure every guest was given a sample of the life changing supplement. Since then, he has cultivated a huge celebrity clientele who are regularly reordering the products. See for yourself!
Christi is now saying that what Trump did is an impeachable offense. Is he just blowing with the wind? Hopefully there are other GOP’ers who also follow this action.
This Week (@ThisWeekABC) Tweeted:
Chris Christie tells @GStephanopoulos Trump’s incitement of Capitol siege is an impeachable offense: “If inciting to insurrection isn’t, then I don’t really know what is.” https://t.co/FnD9YSf2TE https://t.co/rONPP8C0x3
I love this photo of a frustrated Trump. Hope it comes through. [I”d like to think this is his reaction when he gets impeached.]

Nope, it’s just that advertisement for gummies that Trump now wants to sell. Oh well.
Buy some Trump gummies and live a more healthy life!!!
I’m sure that the loonies who stormed the Capitol building are really gearing up for the inauguration. I wish Biden was doing the inauguration virtually. People can stay home and watch it and Biden would definitely be safe.
How sad that Trump has inspired such hate and indecent loyalty.
……………………………………………….
CNN:
At the Pentagon, officials are assessing whether there is a need to bolster the number of National Guard forces to as many as 13,000 guardsmen for President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration, according to a defense official with knowledge of the planning. Prior to the US Capitol breach, the estimated need called for approximately 7,000 guard troops.
More than 6,000 members have already been mobilized in the wake of the Capitol being stormed by pro-Trump rioters to work in 12-hour shifts on Capitol grounds and work traffic control points throughout the city.
At the state level, security officials have been working closely with federal partners as they prepare for increasing online chatter calling for protests in all 50 states, plus Washington, DC, said one state law enforcement official with direct knowledge of conversations between federal and state partners.
Plans for future armed protests, including a proposed secondary attack on the US Capitol and state capitol buildings on January 17, began proliferating on and off Twitter last week, the social media company said.
Still, extremism experts are fearful of what will happen on and around January 20 when Biden is sworn into office, given surging calls for violence as many extremists see the Capitol incursion as a success.
“Trump WILL be sworn in for a second term on January 20th!!,” said a commenter on thedonald.win, a pro-Trump online forum, on Thursday, the day after the siege. “We must not let the communists win. Even if we have to burn DC to the ground.”
Newly published studies found, “Acceptance of a dominant male hierarchy predicted a positive evaluation of Trump over and above any sexist, racist or homophobic attitude a voter may have.”
Conservative religion grooms the nation for men like Trump. Ignoring the topic has enabled Trump. The major talk hosts at Fox adhere to conservative religious sects.
“If you want to know what is in the head of Pat Cipollone (top lawyer at the White House and graduate of Covington Catholic), listen to Laura Ingraham”- Rence Priebus
Jake Tapper’s comment: magnificent.
Here is a tribute to the ‘greatness’ of Trump. All 50 capital cities are going to see armed terrorists that Trump can be proud of. Wonder from which safe place he will be watching the inauguration?

FBI warns of plans for armed protests at all 50 state capitals next week
WASHINGTON — The FBI is warning of plans for armed protests at all 50 state capitals and in Washington in the days leading up to President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration, stoking fears of more bloodshed after last week’s deadly siege at the U.S. Capitol.
An internal FBI bulletin warned that, as of Sunday, the nationwide protests may start later this week and extend through Biden’s Jan. 20 inauguration, according to two law enforcement officials who read details of the memo to The Associated Press.
Investigators believe some of the people are members of some extremist groups, the officials said. The bulletin was first reported by ABC…

Trump has taken my $600 stimulus payment and is planning an escape tommorrow
Frank Stallings: I got my stimulus check in the mail. Of course Trump had to be sure his name was on it. [Guess I’m supposed to be grateful to HIM for personally giving me that money.]
My tax money is wasted on his monumental red carpet send-off. [I just picked up a great meal on carry-out and plan to celebrate the day the Orange Dufus is not in the WH. Hope everything has been sanitized. Ewww.]
I believe this is what was stamped on the check:
ECONOMIC IMPACT PAYMENT
PRESIDENT DONALD J TRUMP
Some people are paying to get their pardons. Trump will do ANYTHING to make more money. What a fractured brain that monster has. He pardons people who are criminals who will be loyal to him…not people who have been unfairly jailed.
………………………………….
President Trump pardons former chief strategist Steve Bannon, dozens of others
…“Steve Bannon is getting a pardon from Trump after defrauding Trump’s own supporters into paying for a wall that Trump promised Mexico would pay for,” Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff said on Twitter. “And if that all sounds crazy, that’s because it is. Thank God we have only 12 more hours of this den of thieves.”
And while other presidents have issued controversial pardons at the ends of their administration, perhaps no commander in chief has so enjoyed using the clemency authority to benefit not only friends and acquaintances but also celebrity defendants and those championed by allies.
Wednesday’s list includes its share of high-profile defendants. Among them were rappers Lil Wayne and Kodak Black, both convicted in Florida on weapons charges. Wayne, whose real name is Dwayne Michael Carter, has frequently expressed support for Trump and recently met with the president on criminal justice issues. Others on the list included Death Row Records co-founder Michael Harris and New York art dealer and collector Hillel Nahmad.
Other pardon recipients include former Rep. Rick Renzi, an Arizona Republican who served three years for corruption, money laundering and other charges, and former Rep. Duke Cunningham of California, who was convicted of accepting $2.4 million in bribes from defense contractors. Cunningham, who was released from prison in 2013, received a conditional pardon.
Trump also commuted the prison sentence of former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, who has served about seven years behind bars for a racketeering and bribery scheme.
Bannon has been charged with duping thousands of donors who believed their money would be used to fulfill Trump’s chief campaign promise to build a wall along the southern border. Instead, he allegedly diverted over a million dollars, paying a salary to one campaign official and personal expenses for himself.
Bannon did not respond to questions Tuesday.
Trump has already pardoned a slew of longtime associates and supporters, including his former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort; Charles Kushner, the father of his son-in-law; his longtime friend and adviser Roger Stone; and his former national security adviser Michael Flynn…
