I have been completely gob-smacked by what the orange blob in the Oval Office did Wednesday, 6 January. I have always known he was capable of inciting violence, and that his brainwashed minions and Qanon disciples would follow his directives. But I am still amazed that he and Rudy Giuliani would send thousands of armed and crazed followers to attack the Capitol building, where both the House of Representatives and the Senate were in session to confirm the Electoral College votes. Because 45's hand-picked Vice President decided to follow the Constitution (and the law of the United States) and would not declare the states' certified votes illegal, Trump and Giuliani unleashed the mob against members of Congress and anyone else inside the Capitol.
Tuesday, 5 January, was voting day for the two Georgia Senate seats. Democratic candidate Reverend Warnock was declared the winner late that night; Jon Ossoff was declared the winner on Wednesday, soon after the Electoral College vote count began. That meant that the Senate would be a 50/50 split, with Vice President-elect Harris having the deciding vote, once she and Joe Biden were inaugurated. Trump had already ruffled feathers by spending over an hour on the telephone (in a call recorded by the Georgia Secretary of State) variously begging, wheedling, and threatening the Georgia SoS to find the 11,780 votes Trump needed to win the state, saying that he had, um, recalculated the vote numbers... (Even if Georgia had done such a horrific thing, 45 would still lose the election, so it really makes no sense - unless he's completely barking mad.)
The mob, encouraged and fired up by Giuliani and the President, attacked the Capitol. They broke windows and doors, they threatened people. They infiltrated the Senate, the House, and offices of most of the Congressmen. They pilfered, stole, broke and destroyed government property. They stole laptop computers belonging to Congress. They killed a Capitol policeman. They lost four of their own, too. One female Air Force veteran, a true believer in Qanon and its' crazed conspiracy theories, was killed by a Capitol policeman, when she was the first to try and enter a supposedly secure place where House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was sheltered, after breaking out a window. One man tased himself repeatedly in the testicles with a "hidden" Taser and suffered a cardiac arrest. One woman, who was proudly carrying a "Don't Tread On Me" flag was trampled to death by members of her own mob..... They built a scaffold and had a noose ready to hang Vice President Pence. They carried zip-ties to take members of Congress hostage and kill them one-by-one as time passed and their demands were not met. Improvised explosive devices (IEDs) were found in the Capitol and at the headquarters of both the Democratic and Republican National Committee offices. A truck parked on the Capitol lawn was found to contain 11 Molotov cocktails, two handguns and a rifle (all un-registered), and all the components of homemade napalm. - And I will never forget the audio from from of the mob's posted videos of them rioting in the Capitol. Shots are being fired, and a woman in the mob yells, "Oh my God! They're shooting at us! They're supposed to shoot the BLM people, not us!"
I was scared witless for the majority of the Congress members and anyone who wasn't a well-known Trump ass-kisser.
Anyway. Trump was still making false Tweets after the riot, and he was shut down from Twitter for a few hours. Once his ban ended, he again broke Twitter rules, and was banned permanently. A few hours after that, he tried to use the Trump Campaign Twitter account, and that, too, was shut down.
So, just for laughs, and "old times' sake," I'm going to post his last few days of Tweets (without re-Tweets from his sycophants). It'll be done by date, time (all Eastern Standard Time), and exactly what was Tweeted in quotation marks. At least one is a URL for his video to followers... I'll start with Tuesday, 5 January, and end with today:
