The State of the Union of USA

The news since last Wednesday the 6th of January 2021 has been shocking, revealing, and frightening. I, Gloria Poole, Registered Nurse, artist, writer, cartoonist, author,mother, occasional photographer, citizen journalist] am following the history-in-the-making news on the topic of the sequealae of the US Capitol mob. Here are some of the news stories that are reporting on those events.

1) Great words by Arnold Schwarzenegger telling his testimony about Kristallnacht of Germany & how the mob at Capitol reminded him of that:

2) WASHINGTON (AP) - Missouri U.S. Sen. Roy Blunt says he doesn’t see a need for congressional Republicans to hold President Donald Trump accountable for his role in promoting last week’s Capitol riot, but warned him to “be very careful” in his last 10 days in office.

Sen. Blunt called Trump’s decisions and actions leading up to last Wednesday’s riot “clearly reckless.” But he says the U.S. should be “thinking more about the first day of the next presidency” of President-elect Joe Biden than on removing Trump from office.

Blunt says he doesn’t think Trump will act recklessly again. On a national news broadcast Sunday, he said: “My personal view is that the president touched the hot stove on Wednesday and is unlikely to touch it again."

3) "Sen. Hawley released the following statement Friday afternoon on Biden’s remarks:

“President-elect Biden has just compared me and another Republican Senator to Nazis. You read that correctly. Think about that for a moment. Let it sink in. Because I raised questions in the format prescribed by the laws of the United States about the way elections were conducted in the state of Pennsylvania, just as Democrats did about other states in 2001, 2005, and 2017, he is calling me a Nazi. This is undignified, immature, and intemperate behavior from the President-elect. It is utterly shameful. He should act like a dignified adult and retract these sick comments. And every Democrat member of congress should be asked to disavow these disgusting comments.”

4) Illegal prior restraint of Facebook, Twitter, and other "social media" :

"The actions against Mr. Trump and Parler illustrate more starkly than ever the companies’ influence over conversation online—and the political nature of their decisions. While lauded by many, ejecting the president and some of his supporters also infuriated others who said it amounts to censorship, and the moves risked driving off some users in a way that, especially for Twitter, could reshape their businesses. It also illustrates the political nature of how they determine what content to remove, what content to allow and what to amplify."

5) WASHINGTON — The FBI and the New York City Police Department passed information to U.S. Capitol Police about the possibility of violence during the protests Wednesday...It was immediately obvious after the Capitol was seized by a violent mob Wednesday that Capitol Police, whose job is to defend the facility and the lawmakers who work there, had completely misjudged the security threat."

"Another video showed the pair joining a mob in entering the U.S. Capitol through an unlocked door, passing Capitol police who offered no resistance."...

Handgun. Zip ties. Punisher logo.

That image [in article] raised fears that the invaders might have intended to take hostages, although no concrete evidence has emerged to support that theory. There have been reports of handcuffs being stolen from Capitol police storage facilitiesThe FBI is looking for individuals who may have incited or promoted violence of any kind. Anyone with digital material or tips can call 1-800-CALL-FBI (800-225-5324) or submit images or videos at fbi.gov/USCapitol."

I read those articles, looked at the videos, and am doing what I can do to help the FBI find the mob people, and to educate the nation on what republicans believe.The U S Constitution says the U S is a REPUBLIC, which means we as a nation are represented by people we elect to office. And the First Amendment to it gives citizens the liberties of expressing their religious, political, and otherwise beliefs in a variety of ways [ but not including violence obviously].
