    Good morning.

    Donald Trump instructed an angry mob - a mob that had been openly planning to “storm” Congress - to march to the Capitol and “fight like hell” to stop Biden’s win. When the mob broke in and began chanting “Hang Mike Pence”, Trump issued a statement attacking Pence.

    It is evident from what we now know about this January 5 meeting

    at the Trump International Hotel in DC that it was a *war council*.

    There's no other way to describe that sort of summit. All of Trumpworld

    was there in one way or another, and it was there to plan an insurrection.

    Is there a flow chart on when we are supposed to be excited about cops injured/killed vs when we are supposed to be outraged by it?

    Maybe someone from BLM can weigh in

    A second police officer who responded to the violent insurrection that rocked the Capitol Building on Jan. 6 has died by suicide, according to testimony obtained by POLITICO.

    Acting Metropolitan Police Chief Robert Contee told House appropriators during a closed-door session on Tuesday that Jeffrey Smith, a D.C. Police officer, and Capitol Police Officer Howard Liebengood both “took their own lives in the aftermath of that battle.”

    Contee told appropriators that about 850 MPD officers responded to the riot and 65 members sustained documented injuries.

    “Many more sustained injuries from the assault — scratches, bruises, eyes burning from bear mace — that they did not even bother to report,” he said.

    One question is whether Pence is the one who approved additional National Guard troops to the Capitol. I don't think he has the authority to do that absent some sort of presidential delegation or incapacity.

    So there were two "coups." One successful and one unsuccessful.

    The unsuccessful one was the attempted takeover of the Capitol by the mob.

    The successful one was Pence's usurpation of authority that properly belongs to the president.

    Both need to be investigated.
