dchenesIf you told me in October that I would stay up way the hell past my bedtime in January watching Congress certifying electoral votes, I would have told you to lay off the magic mushrooms. But I did. I gave up when they got to Pennsylvania, because I wasn't being paid to listen to two hours of bloviating after midnight. But I started watching because I wanted to see how the process is supposed to work. It's supposed to be repetitive and over in a couple of hours.
And nobody will ever be held accountable for the fact that yesterday it wasn't. Trump should die in prison, having been convicted of sedition and every financial and abuse of power crime they can charge him with, but he won't. The police who took selfies with insurrectionists should be fired if not prosecuted, but they won't be. The insurrectionists who were arrested should be tried and convicted, but they won't be. Or if they're convicted of anything it will probably be misdemeanor trespassing or something equally toothless.
If I had my way about it, Jimmy Carter could refuse to attend Trump's funeral. Statistics are unfortunately against me there, though.
