I am very grateful that we had a peaceful innauguration of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris yesterday, but I just want to remember that we did NOT have a peaceful tranfer of power from the previous administration.
Trump had his right wing terrorists attack the Capitol on January 6, 2021. Five people died. The terrorists attempted to find and hang Vice President Michael Pence for refusing to overturn the votes of the states during the day's Electoral College acceptance of the Electoral College votes certifying Biden as president.
The terrorists also were looking to find and kill the Democratic Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi.
The terrorists came with zip ties to capture and hold hostage members of Congress until they got their way and had the election overturned and their cult leader, Trump, reinstalled as president. What was their plan, to execute them one at a time until they got the election overturned?
The House of Representatives impeached him the next week for incitement of insurrection. He goes on trial in the Senate soon. I think he has so threatened and offended the Legislative Branch that there will be the needed 17 Republican Senators to vote to find him guilty. And he will never again be able to hold public office. And he will lose his grip on his Trump Cult. And he will spend the rest of his life defending himself in court for the many crimes of his life, and/or spending much of the rest of his life in well earned prison sentences.
It is not nice to try to kill your Vice President and the Speaker of the House. Prison please.
It was not a peaceful transfer of power. It was a violent attempt to overthrow an elected President of the United States of America. And it failed.
Thank God.
