Did they -- did they just adjourn the Senate in the middle of Lankford's speech because of a security breach? If so, this is absolutely surreal. — PolitiTweet.org

Recall that Ted Cruz, in the early morning of November 5, tweeted a Federalist story headlined: "Yes, Democrats Are Trying to Steal the Election in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania." Today, he objects to certification because voters don't trust the result. And around we go. — PolitiTweet.org
Tim Alberta @TimAlberta
Imagine if Obama lost in 2012, spent the next two months inciting a coup and refusing to concede, and then hundreds of black protesters stormed the U.S. Capitol building to try and stop the certification of his defeat. Just...imagine. — PolitiTweet.org

Republicans cheer Steve Scalise's call for "the rule of law" to prevail as a Trump-inspired mob storms the U.S. Capitol building. — PolitiTweet.org

Wow -- Fox News just broke away from Trump's speech insisting he won to air live coverage of Congress certifying his defeat. So many metaphors. — PolitiTweet.org

In summary: Go ahead and be angry/disappointed with the folks marching in DC today. But save your true indignation for the people who've spent the past 9 weeks (and the past 10 years) luring them to DC with their non-stop lying. — PolitiTweet.org
Tim Alberta @TimAlberta
Individuals should be accountable for their beliefs. I'm not letting anyone off the hook. But if we don't address the systematic dishonesty practiced by the institutions these individuals trust—especially political parties & media entities—there is no fixing this mess we're in. — PolitiTweet.org
Tim Alberta @TimAlberta
I've lost faith in voters. But I've lost far more faith in the institutions they trust and leaders they listen to. What we've witnessed over the past decade is an unyielding blitz of deception—over Obama, Obamacare, deficits, Muslims, crowd sizes, immigration, voter fraud, etc. — PolitiTweet.org
Tim Alberta @TimAlberta
Were some of those marchers motivated by hatred of a black president, and not by fiscal responsibility? Yes. But those people were being lied to, too! Millions of R voters believed Obama was born in Kenya. They should've known better, but people they trusted swore it was true. — PolitiTweet.org
Tim Alberta @TimAlberta
@cjane87 Indeed. Written a lot on that subject. What's interesting is, even those people principally motivated by racism, they were being lied to, too! (Kenya, etc.) That's my point: the informational well has been poisoned in every possible way, and folks can't help drinking from it. — PolitiTweet.org
Tim Alberta @TimAlberta
Is it super hypocritical to march for fiscal responsibility then applaud deficit-busting programs? Of course. But when all the media they consume and all the pols they trust are working 24/7 to sell a con that perpetuates their own power & influence & money, it's easy to buy in. — PolitiTweet.org
Tim Alberta @TimAlberta
There's individual responsibility here; I'm not suggesting these people are helpless. But most voters aren't born ideological warriors. They are normal folk who want to believe in something. And over the past decade, they've been conned by cynical pols into believing a lot junk. — PolitiTweet.org
Tim Alberta @TimAlberta
Some of these very folks marching in DC today—hoping a strongman executive will subvert the Constitution and trample on states' rights— were marching in DC 10 years ago against federal overreach and an imperial presidency. All I can think about is how much they've been lied to. — PolitiTweet.org

"The Rs who were all too willing to swap their honor for a little bit of political power have been, like most people who have done business with Donald Trump over the years, ripped off. And there is no moral-bankruptcy court in which to try to recover a portion of their losses." — PolitiTweet.org

"Trump’s media cheerleaders, who like to call themselves constitutionalists & patriots, are no such thing. They are, for the most part, profiteers who will justify anything if it helps them to hold onto one point of audience share as they peddle their various blends of snake oil" — PolitiTweet.org

"I have on many occasions criticized the abuse of the word coup in our politics, but that is what this is: an attempted coup d’état under color of law. It would be entirely appropriate today to impeach Trump a second time and remove him from office before his term ends." — PolitiTweet.org

The unconstitutional gibberish aside... imagine doing this to the one guy who's been relentlessly loyal to you for 4 years, never undermining you, always subjugating himself to you (often in humiliating fashion). For the millionth time: Trump has no loyalty to anyone but himself. — PolitiTweet.org
