Reichstag Fire II: Electric Boogaloo
Perhaps it won't matter:
BREAKING: Judge bans Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio from DC. If he shows up at the protest tomorrow he will be arrested immediately.

Trump puts pressure on Pence ahead of election showdown in Congress
But White House officials tell Fox News that Pence will ‘follow the law’ on Wednesday
White House officials on Tuesday afternoon told Fox News chief White House correspondent John Roberts that the vice president "is taking a very diligent and studious approach to his job tomorrow. He has consulted at length with staff. He has gone through the Electoral Count Act several times. He has read legal opinions, met with the Senate parliamentarian and consulted with outside experts on the subject matter."
But those officials add that "the vice president will follow the law. He will act tomorrow with fidelity to the law and the Constitution."

Gohmert case never made it to the merits - if I recall correctly. It was bounced based on standing.

The courts haven't ruled on this specific issue. They also have not ruled on whether Pence has the authority to crown Trump "King For Life", among other things.

Trump and the far right will embarrass themselves most likely. The rest of the conservatives hopefully move on from this and rebuild the party or start a new one.

It’s amazing to me that these guys watched what happened in Georgia last night and still plan to go through with this nonsense. Incredible really.
I think this is the start you are looking for:
Liz Cheney @Liz_Cheney · 54m
We have sworn an oath under God to defend the Constitution. We uphold that oath at all times, not only when it is politically convenient.
Congress has no authority to overturn elections by objecting to electors. Doing so steals power from the states & violates the Constitution.

The Republican party under Trump's leadership has been full of nonsense and it has cost them the presidency, congress and now apparently the senate. At least they still have the Supreme Court I guess...

Say this posted on social media
“A flight attendant friend was on a flight of MAGgots and the pilot had to threaten them to get them to shut up! All were yelling 4 more years! He told them he’d stop in Tennessee for the night if they didn’t shut up! They stopped!“

Fairly right-wing guy I know that works in DC for federal security agency has been told not to come to work today, expected to be too dangerous.
Meh - hopefully just precautionary.
Congress was also told to keep off the streets of DC.
People are angry, and they are going to vent. With a little luck and patience that's all this amounts to.

Never understood this mindset in politics. Most of those people probably voted for Romney in 2012.

What will be the best way to view today's festivities? Fake news networks? Livestreams from Qanon proponents?

MUST BE DONE LIST before Congress meets today:
1. Mike Pence @vp @Mike_Pence must resign & thereafter be charged with TREASON.
2. Rod Rosenstein @RodRosenstein must be arrested & charged with being accessory to murder & TREASON.
3. Chief Justice John Roberts must RESIGN.
So, apparently in Q land, the story dropped last night that Pence and Rosnestein were in on the Seth Rich murder, and that they are part of the coup, where Pence would appoint Rosenstein as VP.

I like how he puts the hashtags in so that they can get the message. Hey Mike Pence, you need to resign so that we can charge you with treason- we can’t charge you until you resign so get with the program OK?Lin Wood @LLinWood

I don't think it is as normal to politics...seems Trump the outlier that he has gained and kept this much support. That people who were all in on one candidate, now are so much to the next to the point of calling their previous guy a traitor (or other names Mitt has been called even here by those who supported him the most).

Yeah. I get souring on a candidate (I think most D's don't really view the Clintons very favorably anymore)....but Romney, to me, comes across as good guy and a Republican's Republican.

Worst case scenario is counter protesters show up and we get a bunch of rittenhouse scenarios.

And listen to the silence from the leadership on the right about that...and from Trump supporters (looking at the comments, many are cheering that behavior on).Lin Wood @LLinWood

Honestly - I hope for no counter-protests, and very limited police involvement.
I believe that sometimes its best to just let people vent, and get it out of their system - without further aggravation.

Yeah any leftist organizations should definitely stay away. Trump supporters aren't going to start fighting themselves, so stay away and let them have their anger, get over it, and go home.

I agree with all of this, but I'd imagine that any counter-protesters are people who are equally fed up with what's going on. We're all sick of Trump's rhetoric at this point and are angry at the daylight coup attempts that are being made. There's a lot of unrest right now and only one person has the power to calm it.
shader
Footballguy
Yeah you're probably right. I was thinking big picture in terms of them "taking over the country". The people there literally want a coup, but they don't know how to go about it (because there isn't really a legitimate way for it to happen)
But yeah, I hope counter protesters don't show up, especially later, because then some serious violence could happen.

Like anything in life, there's a right way and a wrong way to handle things. Being frustrated and sick of Trump is one thing. Going to Washington to engage and counter protest and look for fights, seems like a juvenile way to handle things.

Footballguy
I don't disagree and I'm comfortably sitting at my desk at work this morning instead of protesting in DC. But there are a lot of frustrated people on both sides. You have one side who's been led to believe their votes were stolen and another who's sick of hearing about it.
