Pence Lacked Courage, Succumbed Under Pressure

by Oui Mon Jan 11th, 2021 at 01:05:23 PM EST

The "yes" man for four years was confronted with a constitutional dilemma: he needed to stand up and once say a crucial "no" to his boss.

Pence stayed silent and wished he could stay loyal to Trumpism and dogma. Too many reasonable advisers had left or got booted out by a madman and tyrant. Key politicians in the Republican party too were cowards and hid behind the cape of a delusional, but powerful person in the highest Office of the US Government.

Many Presidents before him too failed the test of leadership and courage in a moment of crisis. A tyrant will always fall short in a position where decisions need thorough vetting and support of his Cabinet and NSC.

Trump blew it and Pence failed to stand up and be counted. Even under attack, Republicans stayed loyal to its leader.

It's difficult to find a good analysis how the deterioration between Trump and Pence unfolded. Undoubtedly a journalist will be succesful and write a bestsellers over the last days of Trump's presidency that shook American trust in democracy.

A poor man's choice "Quid pro Quo"


Mike Pence's Loyalty Test | US News - Jan. 5, 2021 |

Donald Trump believes Mike Pence can stop Congress from certifying his election loss. It's not true, but there could still be hell to pay when he doesn't.

"I hope Mike Pence comes through for us, I have to tell you," Trump said to thousands of cheering supporters at a rally in Georgia. "Of course, if he doesn't come through, I won't like him as much."

...
The president laughed off the threat, but it hung in the air - the only newsy comment to come out of his campaign speech supporting Republicans in Tuesday's Georgia Senate runoff - and it generated thundering applause from a crowd that intermittently broke out into a "Stop the steal" chant. The president had been dancing around the idea for weeks, but his words made it canon: Pence, he explained to the crowd, could overturn the election results on Wednesday if he wanted to. And he should - or else.

Tuesday

Trump doubled down on the false and futile message Tuesday: "The Vice President has the power to reject fraudulently chosen electors," he said.

...
But now, in what seems to be Trump's last-ditch effort - albeit one that constitutional law experts say has no validity or chance of succeeding - the president, in calling on Pence directly, places him on a pedestal before throngs of MAGA supporters, claiming he has the ability to give them what they want: four more years.

Georgia Turns Blue, Insurrection @Capitol

What should have been an celebration of Democracy has turned into America's nightmare and was heard and seen around the world.

The perfect storm, all elements had gathered for decades leading to the Tea Party, a coalition of domestic terror, FBI and US Congress looking the other way, and a president who figures it's all about him and not the safety of others. Disregard for the US Constitution, Bill of Rights, and his primary task to preserve the Nation. Just as in history all tyrants and fascist leaders were supported by the few in his administration. Radicalization in Washington DC has it's price - even the Capitol is left insecure until the Inauguration of President Joe Biden and VP Kamilla Harris.  

At 02:21 Eastern Standard Time on election night, President Trump walked onto a stage set up in the East Room of the White House and declared victory.

"We were getting ready to win this election. Frankly, we did win this election."

His speech came an hour after he'd tweeted: "They are trying to steal the election".

He hadn't won. There was no victory to steal. But to many of his most fervent supporters, these facts didn't matter, and still don't.

Sixty five days later, a motley coalition of rioters stormed the US Capitol building. They included believers in the QAnon conspiracy theory, members of "Stop the Steal" groups, far-right activists, online trolls and others.

On Friday 8 January - some 48 hours after the Washington riots - Twitter began a purge of some of the most influential pro-Trump accounts that had been pushing conspiracies and urging direct action to overturn the election result.

With Donald Trump in the Oval Office the coming days, America is not safe for foreign adversaries, nor does he have the mentality to keep Americans safe. US Congress is rightly extremely disturbed and worried. The President arguably has to stand down one way or another.

STOP THE PRESIDENT NOW!!

So long, farewell, I tweet tweet tweet, goodbye! | The Guardian |

Donald Trump: Aggressive Rhetoric and Political Violence | Publication Leiden University |

During Donald Trump's presidential candidacy and presidency political discourse in the United States became more hateful and divisive. Threats and actual violence against groups and individuals singled out and demonized by Trump increased.

The targets of his verbal attacks were most of all racial, ethnic, and religious minorities, the news media collectively and individual journalists, and well-known politicians, mostly Democrats.

There was a rise in bullying incidents in schools against minority students. Assuming that aggressive rhetoric by influential political leaders affect their supporters' words and deeds, we examined Trump's online and offline hate speech, the rhetorical reactions of his followers, and the violent consequences suffered by their declared enemies.

We found that contrary to an old children's rhyme ("Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me") Trump's aggressive, divisive, and dehumanizing language was seconded by his followers and inflicted directly or indirectly psychological and physical harm to Trump's declared enemies.

I don't believe Blue America is interested in the opinion of Hayom, a newspaper bought for rightwing politics of Bibi Netanyahu ... I do hope Joe Biden and his administration will be strong on human rights by adversaries and allies!! Stop the stinking hypocrisy ... it corrupts and blinds oneself. Trump et al.

America faces turbulent times. The storming of the US Capitol sounded the alarms of a possible civil war while Democrats increased the pressure for President Trump's removal from office less than two weeks before the end of his term at the White House. If the internal pressure continues escalating, this political powder keg could blow up. The only way to avoid a disaster is to find common ground that serves everybody's interests.

Capitalism and Western politics are based on power play, no compromise. Taking no prisoners.

I think Pence has been one of the most craven, craw-thumping vice Presidents ever, but I think it is wrong to accuse him of cowardice on this occasion. Trump tried to bully him into invalidating the election result, but he stuck to his guns and his constitutional role. He did what was necessary, perhaps the bare minimum necessary, but nevertheless performed the constitutional requirements of his role in the certification of the election result.

You can argue that he should have invoked the 25th. Amendment, but that is a separate argument. Perhaps he consulted, behind the scenes, with some cabinet members. It didn't help that those most critical of Trump's performance resigned their cabinet posts, and thereby avoided all responsibility and reduced the chances of an attempt to invoke the 25th. succeeding.

If there is one thing worse than invoking the 25th., it is seeking to invoke it and failing to secure a cabinet majority. Trump would have trumpeted that as exoneration. This way the cabinet and the GOP own Trump and his behaviour completely.

Some pragmatists will argue there is little point in removing him days before Biden's inauguration, but that is not the point. There is a principle involved, and without impeachment or the 25th. being invoked, Trump's behaviour will be legitimised as the new normal. He will be able to run on the same platform in 2024. With 45% of Republicans supporting the Capital Hill invasion, that should divide the GOP nicely down the middle.

The Democrats now have a great opportunity to keep the stain of the invasion on the GOP brand. They now have the opportunity to retain their majorities in the mid-terms and increase them in 2024 if Trump is still running. Kamala Harris can wish for no better opponent, guaranteed to divide the GOP. The nation was divided. Now its just the GOP.

Remember honest Abe? Playing politics without responsibility will lead you deeper into the swamps. Not calling a spade a spade will lead to more turmoil ... I too figured this day of insurrection would come ... however I have come to realize the last months this could really become ugly across the nation ... siege on State Capitols, governors and legislators.

Just to travel back and forth from home to the Capitol will be a dangerous journey. Another ten days of reckoning. I knew it runs deep, but the rapid expansion of militias, well-armed and trained are emboldened by the President and the Republican party.

The 2nd Amendmenters are up to no good and like Trump completely brainwashed by conspiracy theories. Biden is to come after your guns and change your way of life by the Green Deal. Complete insanity in the States.

Siege Response

Current and former top Montana elected officials reacted sharply last week to the mob violence at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 that temporarily disrupted Congress' count of the Electoral College vote certifying Joseph Biden's election as president.  

Democratic U.S. Sen. Jon Tester, former Republican Gov. Marc Racicot, former Democratic U.S. Sen. Max Baucus, former Democratic U.S. Rep. Pat Williams, and former Republican U.S. Rep. Rick Hill were unanimous and vehement in their condemnation of Wednesday's assault on the Capitol by pro-Trump insurrectionists who clashed with Capitol Police, smashed windows and doors, vandalized Capitol property and monuments, invaded Senate chambers and looted congressional offices. Members of the House and Senate, along with Vice President Mike Pence, were forced to flee the Senate chamber and wait out the chaos in a secure location.

In a Thursday press conference, Republican Gov. Greg Gianforte, who until recently represented Montana in the House, "categorically condemned" what he referred to as a "siege" of the nation's Capitol and said it was a "sad and tragic day for America."

"Our U.S. Capitol was under siege. Our very democracy was under siege. Law enforcement officers and the brave men and women of the Capitol Police were under siege. Lawmakers, staff and members of the press were under siege," Gianforte said in prepared remarks. "Until recently, I served the people of Montana there and spoke on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives that that violent mob sought to seize. It was jarring to see."

Indeed in politics, Quid pro-Quo trumps all.

Greg Gianforte Donated to Militia-Backing Conspiracy Theorists, Even in Contested Republican Primaries

To support Fielder, Gianforte had to slight the former Republican Party Chairman Wil Deschamps and former legislator Champ Edmunds. Neither could be called a progressive, but neither has publicly cheered on armed insurrection against the federal government.

Battlefields Civil War - Braxton Bragg

Following the loss of Corinth, Mississippi, Bragg replaced Beauregard as commander of the Confederate Army of Mississippi, later renamed the Army of Tennessee. Under Bragg the army scored partial victories--at places like Perryville, Stones River, and Chickamauga--but never delivered the finishing blow.  This infuriated his subordinates, who were already frustrated with Bragg's poor temper and combative personality. Many advocated for Bragg's removal, but Davis' support for his old friend was unwavering.

Bragg commander leading 100 men to Washington DC to meet the Commander-In-Chief on the stairs of the Capitol.

Officer resigns as Army investigates her involvement in Washington rally that led to U.S. Capitol riot

A psychological operations officer who the Army is investigating for leading a group of people from North Carolina to the rally in Washington that led up to the deadly riot in the U.S. Capitol had already resigned her commission, CBS News correspondent David Martin reports.

Commanders at Fort Bragg said they were reviewing Captain Emily Rainey's involvement in last week's events in the nation's capital.

Army is investigating how many soldiers from Fort Bragg accompanied Rainey to Washington. Rainey had resigned her commission after receiving a career-ending letter of reprimand for her actions at an earlier protest in the Fort Bragg area, Martin reports.

Because the process takes time, Rainey was still on active duty when she led a group of protestors to Washington and is due to leave the Army next month. Officials at Fort Bragg are now working to determine what other soldiers went to Washington and whether they were part of the mob that stormed the Capitol, Martin reports.

Rainey said she led 100 members of Moore County Citizens for Freedom (MCCF), which describes itself online as a nonpartisan network promoting conservative values, from North Carolina to Washington to "stand against election fraud" and support Trump.

Fort Bragg captain questioned over attendance at rally before Capitol siege resigned commission last year, officials say

Trump's Name, Once a Brand, Is Now a Banner of Extremism

For years, Donald Trump used his property, personality and celebrity to forge a living brand that, at one time, included everything from menswear to cologne to mail-order steaks. After he became president, he used the office to burnish that brand further--most visibly with the Trump International Hotel just three blocks east of the White House, which brimmed with diplomats eager to curry favor with the 45th president.

Quite fitting, not for heroism, but on a last trip before 2nd impeachment and allies abandoning him ... Davy Crockett was personified in the fur covered idiots rampaging through the hallowed halls of US Congress.

Creek War, Gen. Andrew Jackson and young Davey Crockett - 1813

When the United States declared war on Great Britain the following month, the governor relented. Militia Maj. Gen. Jackson became U.S. Volunteers Maj. Gen. Jackson and began to recruit his army. The grim news from Fort Mims proved a great boost to recruitment.

When news of the Upper Creek massacre at the fort reached the Tennessee settlements, young Davy Crockett was among the first men on the recruiting lines.

On the flight to the Alamo, U.S. Chief Trump kept repeating: "I won, I won ... I won."

An American legend of "Never a Loser" was born. A tall tale for all descendents of the furry rebels who laid siege to the Northern Blue Capitol in 2021. 😢 🤡 🤣

I already smell a change in the air of our Seat of Government ... one very selfish person has been sidelined and his wings of power clipped ... he has no audience w/o the bullhorn of social media.
