“Information suggests that some ideologically-motivated violent extremists…could continue to mobilize to incite or commit violence,” according to DHS. https://t.co/aFZFz5uT9d
NOTE: This @wsj article “DHS Issues National Terrorism Alert…” shows Intel analysts finally reoriented to domestic terror threats. I warned on @RealTimers in Nov. the threat of a #TrumpInsurgency is real. Heed that a warning. Trouble is ahead https://t.co/Py54tMgPhF

– belief in a false reality
– deep feeling of humiliation and victimization
What’s different and more dangerous about the domestic terror threat is that a former US president willfully echoes their rhetoric & feeds their anger.

NOT an important issue for Americans & Congress?

Trump engaged in a two month long effort to overturn the election results–an attempted usurpation that culminated in a violent insurrection. Much of the GOP supported his effort. Maybe this is worth more than a few hurried days of the Senate's time?https://t.co/rfiVvr0XCC

“This time, there is no excuse. Trump is no longer president: there are no judges; no tax cuts to be signed; no regulations to be slashed. Mexico is never going to pay for the f*cking wall. There aren’t even tweets.”

McConnell himself has reportedly said in private that this was an impeachable offense, but he voted with Paul to prevent conviction for Trump’s actions. That’s the sort of hypocrisy and intellectual contortion for which McConnell is infamous.https://t.co/kTwVzKsU9y

We'll be able to figure out pretty quickly now how much of their business was because people really loved the hotel and how much was because lobbyists and GOP candidates wanted Trump to know just how much they were putting directly into his pocket. https://t.co/CLkUgHPBIA

1. In retrospect the failed putsch of Jan. 6 was likely the last chance the GOP party elite had of severing ties with Trump. They could have coalesced around a quick removal (either through 25 Amendment or impeachment). Instead the party is becoming more Trumpified than ever.
