George W. Bush condemns 'violent extremists,' Trump pushes back

"[W]e have seen growing evidence that the dangers to our country can come not only across borders, but from violence that gathers within," the Texas Republican said. "There is little cultural overlap between violent extremists abroad and violent extremists at home. But in their disdain for pluralism, in their disregard for human life, in their determination to defile national symbols, they are children of the same foul spirit. And it is our continuing duty to confront them."

Bush added, "A malign force seems at work in our common life that turns every disagreement into an argument, and every argument into a clash of cultures. So much of our politics has become a naked appeal to anger, fear, and resentment. That leaves us worried about our nation and our future together."

What did Trump do during Capitol riots? Jan. 6 committee telecom requests aim to recreate minute-by-minute account

WASHINGTON – Requests sent to telecom and social media companies, and to federal agencies, from the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection at the Capitol reveal pieces of the puzzle that lawmakers hope to assemble for a minute-by-minute picture of what happened that day.

The White House might give up the goods on what Trump did Jan. 6. What would that mean?

We learned Thursday that President Biden’s White House is leaning toward taking a somewhat extraordinary step: Handing over information about what Trump and his White House were up to on Jan. 6 — which so far remains something of a black box in the Capitol attack investigations.

Good.

Put it out there. I don't give a fuck. Neither does Trump.

Trump will be fine.

The United States is heading into its greatest political and constitutional crisis since the Civil War, with a reasonable chance over the next three to four years of incidents of mass violence, a breakdown of federal authority, and the division of the country into warring red and blue enclaves.

Most Americans — and all but a handful of politicians — have refused to take this possibility seriously enough to try to prevent it. As has so often been the case in other countries, they have followed the standard model of appeasement, which always begins with underestimation. The political and intellectual establishments in both parties have been underestimating Trump since he emerged on the scene in 2015. They underestimated the extent of his popularity and the strength of his hold on his followers; they underestimated his ability to take control of the Republican Party; and then they underestimated how far he was willing to go to retain power. The fact that he failed to overturn the 2020 election has reassured many that the American system remains secure, though it easily could have gone the other way — if Biden had not been safely ahead in all four states where the vote was close; if Trump had been more competent and more in control of the decision-makers in his administration, Congress and the states. As it was, Trump came close to bringing off a coup earlier this year. All that prevented it was a handful of state officials with notable courage and integrity, and the reluctance of two attorneys general and a vice president to obey orders they deemed inappropriate.

These were not the checks and balances the Framers had in mind when they designed the Constitution. Trump has exposed the inadequacy of those protections.

I didn't think that was possible when people were saying it a year or two ago. Just hyperbole for clicks...

But it might just happen.

Democrats are really destroying the country right now, and you're only going to be able to push the people so far before something breaks.
