[VIDEO] Tim Pool discusses the events of yesterday the certification of electoral votes in favor of Joe Biden. President Trump finally pledges an orderly transition. And it seems Trump is getting ready to leave office on January 20th.
I once predicted back in 2016 that whoever won the election that year would likely have only one term. That prediction as much as I hope that wouldn't come to pass has come true. I can't ignore the possibility that there were some voters who took a chance on Trump in '16 didn't like his conduct and personality and voted for someone else - whether Biden or whomever.
The sad toll four people died, one woman was shot in the neck by a police officer inside the Capitol. Three others had a medical emergency of some sort and died as a result. Truly a crazy day yesterday and it helped evaporate any energy the electoral vote objections had. I saw it when newly defeated Kelly Loefler from Georgia pledged to drop her objections, and she wasn't the only one. I should've anticipated this, however, once the nonsense happened in Washington it changed the mood for sure.
I want to note that there is a stark difference between how many viewed the riots over the summer in a number of cities vs what happened on Capitol Hill. The people who stormed the Capitol were insurrectionists, this was a coup d'etat, or even god forbid seditionists. Then again for the unrest over the past summer I think those same rules apply. Seditionist would apply to the assault in Portland on a federal courthouse and it would apply to the CHAZ/CHOP area of Seattle. There was no real outcry on the progressive liberal side of the aisle.
I would dare say the progressive liberal Democrats would feign support for why this destruction took place over the summer and yet be very upset over this. I hate the blindness Democrats have regarding Antifa/BLM the swamp Democrats who hold gov't positions won't get much harbor from these rabid leftist anarchists. We've seen it some rabid anarchist attempted to attack Andrea Mitchell and Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton. They booed Ted Wheeler when he attempted to speak to the "seditionists" in Portland attempting to show solidarity with them (and why would he want to show solidarity with them). Let's be clear anytime there is violence for any reason whether political or even race riots it has to be condemned and it can't be excused!
So aside from the electoral vote count on Wednesday, perhaps I have some hope that the incoming Democrat administration will be a lot stronger on this issue. I feel as if I will be very disappointed, but let's hope they realize they're not safe from this. They can be as hard on the people they can oppose all they want, but the ones they cover for aren't their allies.
Meanwhile it seems Trump has finally accepted his loss in November. I don't have to like that fact, but that's where we are today. Now we need to look forward to 2022 and 2024, hopefully we will be out of this crazy pandemic by those years.
