A night of shame?
.....or could it be a night of pride? Pride, because we as a country can expose this retched conduct we were forced to watch in disbelief on Jan 6th and shame in knowing we were watching the most unprincipled among us demonstrate that rot in full view of the nation.
mccarthy, mcconnell and hawley all stood out as master chameleons unhindered of any spine at all----may they face this day with profound shame
Sadly, I know they wont!
Added in edit:
I have to add, that my optimism is fueled by those who stood tall and resigned their positions rather than go on. May Cassidy Hutchinson, Sarah Matthews, and others like them, serve as examples of living a principled life and be awarded the warmth of this counties gratitude for standing up for principles, something trump can't even begin to understand.
It is up us (the voters) to work actively at assuring we elect people worthy of the public trust.
It is a sad fact the the POTUS elected to listen to his spineless yes men and the craziest among us rather than the anchored and principled in the same room.
From one of my news feeds:
His [trump's] obstinacy made him look isolated and unreasonable; the outtakes made him seem pathetic and childish.
For all that, Trump fared better than Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO), the first senator to say he would empower the House Trump loyalists by contesting some of the state votes, who famously raised a fist in solidarity with the protestors on the morning of January 6. The committee showed the image of Hawley raising his fist…and then showed footage of him running at top speed through the Capitol when the rioters broke in. Across the internet, users have been poking fun at Hawley, who has recently been on a crusade to launch what he calls an imperative “revival of strong and healthy manhood in America” and “traditional masculine virtues.” They have been posting pictures of the video to the theme from the running movie Chariots of Fire, for example, and pictures of running chickens. As journalist Adam Serwer tweeted, “Hawley riling up the mob and then fleeing in terror is an incredible political metaphor.”
Excuse me Senator hawley----are those your tiny little balls lying on the capital floor
