    I’m not celebrating, I’m complaining. The evidence for this case has been a matter of public record for far too long before we even saw this indictment.

      Exactly. Any regular person would be in prison for decades if not forever, a dozen times over, in the time it took for them to get even this far. After they’re done, they should also look at all the people that obstructed this long too. They’re complicit at the very least.

        Every GOP senator and house member who participated in the coordinated plan to delay the vote is a co-conspirator.

        They all hoped the coup would succeed and they could write the history - until they’re punished the coup hasn’t failed and they have every incentive to continue it.

      I’ll cut them some slack for a few reasons:

      1. Trump was President when he did this shit and charging a President, former or otherwise, is uncharted territory.

      2. My wife quotes the Wire all the time. “When you come at the king, you best not miss.” Not only is this uncharted, but nobody can run the risk of doing it wrong.

      3. This isn’t only about Trump, this is breaking new ground and setting precedent for posterity. Generations are watching what is transpiring here. This will be taught in history lessons and law schools from now on.

      So, yeah, no pressure.

          Yeah, I’m pretty sure that charge was mostly in good humor, wheras attempting to overturn Democracy is kind of serious. :)

        Those are good reasons and you won’t see me arguing against them.

        Still doesn’t change my initial gut feeling, as shared in my top-level comment.
