Trump wanted a slaughter of Congress.
So did the Republican billionaire donors who funded his 2020 campaign.

Some donors, like Larry Ellison, even participated in White House calls on the subject.

The GOP still hasn't clued that the hoped-for Jan 6 slaughter included them too.
The rich want democracy ended.

It’s mind blowing that the networks give so much weight to a third rate legislator like Stefanik. She hasn’t accomplished anything except groveling in front of Donald Trump. Her integrity isn’t in question. It doesn’t exist.
The Republican plan is to only certify elections where their candidate wins. It won’t stay limited to President.
Elise Stefanik pre-emptively declines to commit to accepting 2024 election results-

Trump reportedly plans to invoke the Insurrection Act, which allows the president to use the military as a domestic police force, on his first day in office.Trump reportedly considered activating the Insurrection Act twice during his presidency—first to quell Black Lives Matter protests and later to hold on to power after his election defeat.
This isn't hyperbole ... these are Trump's own promises on the campaign trail.

Jamie Raskin is the best. Simply the best.
Via Acyn:
#Raskin: They’re spreading disinformation about how it was really antifa and FBI agents which would make it strange to argue that all of these people should be released and trump is going to pardon them. Why would he want to pardon all of these antifa fighters? #Jan6 #Trump

@jpgoldberg I wasn’t gonna block her. I find it just rude. I don’t mind the term as long as it’s preceded by qualifiers like “some” or “many.”

@KayJanes It is a thing! And as soon as I heard about, I went and bought us each our own. We’ve slept much better since.

@dogpile Holy shit! Well that will make my daughter feel better. She totaled hers this morning. @GayDeceiver
@AlliFlowers A block we can certainly get over, better than being banned or faded out by an admin, who believes defamatory claims of conspiracy theorists or agents of foreign adversaries pretending to be ordinary users like you & me.
Besides, some folks evidently never grew up or are just not old enough to have learned, that social media implicitly demand social behavior.
@TonyStark We’re just not in a world where we can generalize like that. I thought she was an adult, but I guess her profile was misleading. @robertnorlyn
