          Great "Temporary" Stands of the World

            Can't a Secret Service guy do the right thing and put a bullet in the head of that demented fuck before he starts a nuclear war....?

              Let's hope it doesn't come to that. He's going to be treated as a martyr as is.

              It's more likely that the Air Force would just not do it.

                Yeah, I don't think I that there is any real chance of a nuclear order being honoured.

                This is much worse than when Nixon used to get raging drunk and similar precautions were taken.

                  Alex Pareene linked to this from Indi Samarajiva, written on November 10. Well worth reading, and he's updated it:

                  He also did a YouTube video that's worth 10 minutes of your time:

                      I've been musing what "medical emegency" befell the three people in the Capitol. Reckon they've suffered heart attacks while being tasered?

                        It was a few pages back but it was mentioned that one of them tasered himself accidentally, triggering a heart attack. Connecting some dots from news reports suggests at least one of the deaths was someone falling from the outside of the building but haven't seen it explicitly confirmed.

                          The Alabama assault rifle enthusiast in my post above suffered a heart attack on his own.

                          Speaking of medical emergencies,

                            Here you go - Trump's last stab at the environment, to auction off oil drilling rights in Alaska"s Artic National Wildlife Refuge, was a massive failure. Original auction was for 1.56m acres, which got cut by 457,000 acres, and the sole bidder was an Alaska state agency, so it essentially bought its own product. For $14m, they were hoping to raise $1.8bn.
                            And, of course, the Court challenge by sane people, plus Biden is against development in the Refuge.

                              That's good news.

                                Reports circulating that a Capitol police officer injured in the rioting yesterday has died. Can Trump really avoid impeachment/25th amendment if that is the case?

                                  I find "events stemming from Wednesday's riot" a strange phrase.

                                    He's back on Twitter and put out one of his serious videos. Conceded he lost and it's basically a "please don't charge me" message

                                        CNN getting unnecessarily excited about the remote possibility of 25th amendment or impeachment, or federal prosecution - happily Colin Powell was on, and sounded like the wisest man in the room, his message was basically my message - get him out of office as soon as possible by waiting 12 days, rather than allow him to whip up more sympathy/protest over "persecution". Then hit him hard with as much as possible once he's out.

                                        It shows how much the dial has shifted, that I now am a huge fan of previous administration Republicans who I hated 20 years ago (although Powell was always among the best of them IMO)

                                            This article comes closest to matching my own feelings while watching yesterday's events:

                                            Watching the insurrectionists, I felt outrage and horror and heartbreak. What some of them seemed to feel was boredom.

                                              Trump put out that tape so he could use it in future to pretend he'd condemned the riots straight away and sent out the National Guard himself immediately.

                                                  I'm sure that is what he thinks, but criminal juries tend to see such stunts in the face of compelling evidence as confirmation of guilt
