    Default Mitch McConnell: Capitol Hill mob was 'provoked' by Trump

    Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said Tuesday that the mob that attacked the Capitol was "provoked" by President Donald Trump, placing part of the responsibility on him for the deadly riot, as the Senate prepares for an impeachment trial on whether to convict the President for "incitement of insurrection" and potentially disqualify him from holding office in the future.

    I don't trust the extreme right wing not to attempt some kind of creative domestic terrorist attack that is meant to wipe out everybody at the inauguration.

    If it were up to me I would conduct the inauguration at an undisclosed secret location and just put it on the internet for everyone to see.

    Hopefully what they are planning will be OK.

    I know they mean to show the world that they will not be bullied and that our democracy is intact, but considering the level of hatred on the extreme right they are taking a big risk, especially having the new president and vice-president together at one location at the same time, along with all the major figures in the line of ascension.

    These extremists are desperate and they think they are saving the country. Trump told them if they don't fight like hell they won't have a country anymore, and they believe every word of it. There are military people among the extremist domestic terrorists.

    It would appear to be foolish to underestimate them.

    It just keeps getting worse for Trump. He's going out with the worst approval rating of any leaving President.
    Even Melanoma Trump had the worst approval rating of any FLOTUS.

    These last few weeks have been great, wonderful, outstanding.

    Trump is a pariah, an outcast, he's radioactive. As it should be for a traitor.
    Republican Congressman Ken Buck:
    “We’re at a time in American politics, that I am not going to lie on behalf of my presidential candidate, on behalf of my party. And I’m very sad that others in my party have taken the position that, as long as we get the White House, it doesn’t really matter what we say,”

    I think McConnell votes to convict, and if he does, Trump will have 'won' again, by being the first President convicted by the Senate, and the first to be barred from ever holding federal office again. I never get tired of winning.
