Tuesday Sedition Notes

 A GOP aide resigned, but he lashed out at the party for enabling the mob last week.

In a scathing resignation letter obtained by POLITICO, Jason Schmid, a longtime senior House Armed Services Committee staffer, slammed the GOP members of the panel who objected to President-elect Joe Biden’s Electoral College win, particularly after a mob incited by Trump stormed the Capitol last Wednesday and left five people dead.

 

“Anyone who watched those horrible hours unfold should have been galvanized to rebuke these insurrectionists in the strongest terms,” Schmid wrote in a letter addressed to the committee’s top Republican. “Instead, some members whom I believed to be leaders in the defense of the nation chose to put political theater ahead of the defense of the Constitution and the republic.”

It sounds like the worthless Mitch McConnell, rightfully pissed off over his life being endangered thanks to Trump, is trying to play both sides against the middle, or muddle, as it were. 

Meanwhile, when you are a Trump cultist, it doesn't matter if your reputation is shot to shit:

An Olympic gold medalist, the swimmer Klete Keller, was part of the pro-Trump mob that sieged the Capitol, former teammates and coaches who identified him said. If confirmed by the authorities, he may face federal charges. https://t.co/srEIG09vRP

House dipshit Jim Jordan of Ohio has been caught in (yet another) lie:

Mike Pence says no to the 25th Amendment, and therefore impeachment will commence in Congress:

No surprise that Trump refuses to take any responsibility for the Capitol Hill insurrection of last week.

Speech:

 

Even though VP Mike Pence would not invoke the 25th amendment--no doubt because of concern over death threats, which have already been made against him for certifying the EC vote--he is for all intents and purposes done with Donald Trump.

The House did approve the resolution for Pence to invoke he 25th amendment despite the fact Pence won't invoke it.
