Moving on, one of the bizarre things I noticed about the Trump administration is that things were ALWAYS worse than they first appeared to be. No matter how bad something looked when first reported or exposed - from the Muslim Ban to the Helsinki meeting to the child separation policy to Jan 6 insurrection etc etc - it always turned out to be even more senseless, cruel, abusive, greedy or criminal than it first looked.Frank Slade was helping his Aunt Ethel run her gas station in Goldsboro, North Carolina, when there was a knock on the door.

And what a grievance-hoarder Trump is:12/ I'll wrap this by noting that oversight by the Executive and Legislative in this matter is more than a little urgent.

Trump's shitbird superpower has always been to call out the worst versions of the people working for him.
The Service is gambling its reputation on HIM?
Here's some commentary about Ukraine:Trump's claims that the 2020 election was rigged are best understood in the context of his repeated claims that the Emmy's were rigged as an explanation for his failure to win one for The Apprentice.

My experience in Ukraine this summer? Ukrainians don’t give up/knuckle under or cower no matter what the threat. Saw this spirit growing up with many in my youth in Alberta and Saskatchewan. #Ukraine @BobRae48 https://t.co/UswaSna6Xi

Latest Russian explanation for why they can't beat the Ukrainians: Because the Americans are injecting Ukrainian soldiers with secret serum that gives them special powers and turns them into monsters. Really. https://t.co/y3Oides1Md

Finally, Gurdeep lives to dance:Demilitarization and de-Nazification are propaganda terms that Russia has used to refer to stripping Ukraine of its sovereignty.

In the village of Inverness in Cape Breton Island of Nova Scotia, my local friend and I visited the beach. Standing by the shore of the glorious Atlantic Ocean, he played an Irish tune with his Bagpipe and I danced Punjabi Bhangra to it. We're sending joy, hope and positivity. pic.twitter.com/TGKPeNzim8

Even Pence was spooked by the Secret Service and refused to get in a car with them on Jan 6. I believe he thought their mission had changed from taking a bullet for him to putting one in him. Trump would then have used that as a pretext to declare a state of emergency.
Cap
Yes, the US literally dodged a bullet on Jan 6. Trump and his military goons were searching for an excuse to declare martial law - luckily, Pence didn't give it to them, nor did Antifa (who wisely did not show up) nor were there explosions at the DNC and RNC offices (caught in time). And the mob was NOT supposed to wreck the Capitol, either, which frightened Republican congress people so much that they mostly forgot about the "delay" plan and voted for certification as fast as possible so they could go home.
