Inside the White House, Donald Trump has done everything short of threatening to lock Mike Pence in a room with a woman in his efforts to pressure his supposed #2 into conducting some first grade treason. But before the Congress sets down to the grueling task of counting to 306, Trump will lead his followers in the greatest MAGA rally ever. He invited them to D.C. on Wednesday for a “wild time,” and he intends to deliver.
Trump will supposedly take the stage at 11 AM ET, but his core supporters are already strolling around the nation’s capital, explaining to anyone who will listen how if democracy doesn’t give you the outcome you wanted, you’re constitutionally obligated to start shooting people until you win. That follows a Tuesday evening in which members of the Police Should Always Beat Up Protesters Party got some prime time opportunities to scream “I never meant they should beat up me!”
Here are some highlights from Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning as Trump prepares to make his last ditch pitch for dictator.
Rudy Giuliani says “lets have trial by combat.” Even scarier, he says “over the next ten days...” Ten days? Ten days?
No. I do not have a clue what this means. But Trump was due on stage 40 minutes ago.
Trump is apparently not in the air on the way to inspect his new property in Moscow, but still working his way stageward.
Oh, and they just played Gloria again. Drop the puck!
Trump allowing “I’m proud to be an American” to play in full as he takes the stage for the “please be a farewell” tour. Now he’s been standing there 30 seconds without talking. But he’s got a full on smug going.
Trump starts off by claiming that there are “hundreds of thousands of people there” from “all over the world.” Before getting straight into lying about election fraud.
Trump is just repeating the lies he’s made in the past about election fraud. Stand by. I’ll let you know if he says anything interesting.
"I hope that Mike is going to do the right thing. I hope so. All he has to do ... this is from one the top constitutional lawyers in our country. States want to revote. All Pence has to do is to send it back to the states to recertify, and we become president."
"We'll get a little younger version of Rudy back in New York City. Is that okay, Rudy?" Apparently Trump has cloning.
Trump talking about “the weak Republicans, the pathetic Republicans.”
“The weak Republicans, I think I’m going to use the term, the weak Republicans.”
On Tuesday night, Trump’s people seemingly thought that a police line was a welcome mat. Considering that the police oddly were not wearing all the military-style assault gear they donned when facing progressive protests, that might have been an honest mistake. But in any case ...
Disappointed that police had not escorted the crowd to BLM plaza and assisted in vandalism, the Trump crowd then let the police know that they were disappointed in their level of racism.
On Wednesday morning, Fox News was split between downplaying expectations for the joint session of Congress, and breathlessly introducing the thousands hundreds dozens ones of supporters pouring in early for Trump’s rally.
To warm up the MAGA “crowd,” the loudspeakers blared an endless stream of “Songs to commit a coup by...”
That theme appears to be where things are going on Wednesday morning. Downcast from the Senate runoff results, Trump supporters seem more than ready to write off this Congress thing. “Allow the constitutional process to play out” and if it doesn’t give you want you want “come back with your rifles!” Because that’s apparently how democracy works now.
But of course, not everyone is waiting until the inauguration to break out the heavy weapons.
By 10 AM, the crowd actually has grown to respectable proportions … though the head count is the only thing respectable about this group.
As everyone prepares for Trump’s Last Stand, remember the word (count) of Roger Stone.
