Seditionist hangs above the Senate floor
A black day for America today.
Seditionists — a term being used by one television network; also being called domestic terrorists
by another — acting in support of President Trump, stormed Congress today while
a joint session was in progress, working to ratify the electoral college vote. The
images that follow are simply photos I took of my television set while watching —
stunned — at CNN's live broadcast.
The president, having been asked time and again to tell the protesters to
disperse, issued only a recorded message on Twitter which also perpetuated
the lie that's been fueling protesters' fires: he continued to insist that he
won the election by a landslide.
Now in the 9 o'clock hour at night, the Senate and House of Representatives
have reconvened to perform the business of the American people. Certain
senators, who had allied with Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and had intended to
protest their electoral college counts, have likely realized that their
protest is strongly linked to the seditious acts from earlier in the day,
and have publicly reconsidered their positions.
Presently, one is left to wonder if Ted Cruz will keep his fat, opportunistic
mouth shut, or if mysterious and charitable others have shut it for him.
Tonight, America is still a land of hopes and dreams.
