It may speak to Something Else beyond his greed and his grievance when deprived of a moneymaking toy, namely how little pressure and sense of responsibility the president is feeling right now. For wednesdays insurrection, an attack on the seat of our democracy. Lets not pretend here, with five people dead, a nation traumatized and the fbi warning there could be more Political Violence to come, so far there has been no real reckoning. In fact, until this weekend when flags began flying at half staff at the white house and federal buildings, there wasnt even simple recognition that lives were lost in the attack let alone a reckoning with it.

Theyve analyzed my speech and my words and my final paragraph, my final sentence, and everybody to the t thought it was appropriate. Because of course, why wouldnt he say that . Of course he would not take responsibility, just as he took no responsibility for the pandemic spinning out of control saying quote it is what it is when about 1,000 people dying a day. It more than 4,000 now. He took no responsibility for that or testing failures saying quote i dont take responsibility at all and finally, leader mccarthy seems to have finally gotten the message and the New York Times citing people familiar with Mitch Mcconnell eets s thinki
Good evening if youve been wondering what it will be like when pull the plug on donald trump that hasnt happened yet but at least considering it, with republicans getting on board, some including Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell and it was just yesterday Kevin Mccarthy telling members to vote their conscience on the impeachment.

These facts require immediate action by President Trump. Except his share of responsibility. Quail the unrest and ensure president elect biden is able to successfully begin his term. Strong ass
