Is anyone here really surprised? This was the only way this shit show was ever going to end.

Trump has ALWAYS had a scorched earth paradigm, so we got scorched earth. 14 days and this horror will be over!

1. Anyone who thinks this will be over when Trump leaves will be surprised all over again.

2. Yep. Those deplorables are not going away.

And, I guess Trump thought, if I’m going down, let it be in flames and let me feel like I’ve got worshipers.

6. Without the power of the Presidency, Trump is just the garbage pail he has always been.

Trump will move onto another con and with the exception of a few of his most rabid acolytes, very few will give Trump the time of day.

7. The point is, Trump is a symptom of the issue, not the cause.

8. Trump was a creation of & Trump will he the death knell of the Republican Party.

I think today we are seeing their last gasps!

3. Yeah but what's his move?

Was today all he expected or was he hoping for a complete overthrow? What else is up his sleeve? What are those pentagon bootlickers up to? He's at the precipice, will he just skulk back? I don't think so. This thing is not over until he's completely removed from power.

4. I was honestly surprised the Capitol Police were so feckless. I expected them to have more pride.

Regardless of their loyalty, or lack thereof, I expected them to want not to look weak and inept.

5. Shocked yet not surprised. n/t

Themselves into oblivion.
