Ok, but can we skip the swearing in since we know he doesn't mean it?
I think we all know that regardless of the vote, 
's gonna claim the presidency
Will you shrug or march?

Colorado judge finds Trump engaged in insurrection, but rejects constitutional ballot challenge
@BrentSullivan It is still a significant ruling. The judge ruled that there was an insurrection, and while the President wasn't prosecutable by virtue of not being "an officer" of the gov't, many, many congressmen and lower level gov't officials are "officers" of the gov't. Now that this has been acknowledged as an insurrection, they can be disqualified from running for office again.
@wyrmeboi
So the 146 sitting members of Congress who voted for the coup will be barred from running again?
I'll believe that when I see it.
No one is coming to save us.
I believe the preservation of democracy will depend on the actions of the people before, during, and after voting.
@BrentSullivan A vote alone is not necessarily participation in an insurrection. But there are quite a few that were more active in the steal. Some face talks at the Jan 6th event to rile the crowd. Others were involved in the voting machine data scandal, or were involved in the false electors scheme. They are at risk now.
@BrentSullivan Language matters. They did not vote to "overturn an election". They voted against certifying the electoral count. If they had won that vote, the decision would have been thrown down to the states. We can speculate on how that would turn out, but it doesn't matter now. Voting is their job. They voted. They are allowed to do that. Dozens, however did shadier shit. They are in peril.

Not certifying=overturning
@wyrmeboi
A vote to overturn an election is part of the coup, but not part of the insurrection?
