"And why even mention BLM and antifa?"

I mean, there are obvious parallels.

Are there?

Like, worth noting?

No whataboutism or references to anything. They seemed genuinely horrified.

Saw a great quote earlier today which was something like this (BLM speaking) - we’re not asking you to shoot the protesters yesterday like you shot us. We’re asking you to NOT shoot us like you didn’t shoot them.

BLM and the non-existent Antifa were pretexts for martial law. Trump thought he could get the street clashes he needed to suspend the constitution and declare martial law. We were lucky that this was put down. Let's not empower pretexts to install dictators here. People fighting for racial justice deserve to be heard--especially as a confederate flag desecrated the capitol for the first time in history.

Large scale rioting in the last year.

Causes very different.

My boss said this same bullshit today.

I asked him to name 2 things.

I've seen less eye rolling from tazer victims.

Bye. Dummy.

Wow, imagine being so toxic that Erik Prince's sister doesn't want to be associated with you.

It’s cowardice, is what it is. There’s nothing to actually *do*, in the next two weeks. The only reasons you’d resign now are (1) to try to salvage some part of your reputation, and/or (2) not have to be up/down on the 25th.

He’s baaaaaackkkkkkk

lol...they’ll have the same voice they’ve always had

The only thing Trump and his MAGA nuts will ever have in common is their mental incapacity.

Should be pinned to every Senator's screen. He's just going to stop. He's incapable of stopping. The best he can do is conciliatory-but-not videos, followed one business hour later by dog-whistling, shit-stirring tweets.

There is just no scenario where he sort of just chills for the next two weeks.

I hope Iran is hunkering down.

Has it been mentioned that he won't attend the inauguration..?

What a clown. Always a brash "winner", but a sore loser.

Is it customary for a departing potus to attend inauguration?

In lieu of as much, I wonder what the publicity stunt will be...

I thought he was planning on taking AF-1 to Scotland on the 19th to golf but that they didn't want him in the country. Any updates on that?

If not, with they perp-walk him out of the White House?

I think every president since Andrew Johnson back in the 1860s has attended the inauguration in some form or another.

Plenty basically ignored the president-elect, but everyone has at least attended for the last 160 years.
