I believe that Trump did this because he wants to be removed from office so he doesn’t have to slink away like the big baby loser he is. This way he can spend the rest of his life complaining how “they” victimized a POTUS via impeachment and wouldn’t let him continue helping the American people.
Lord, ladies, my head is spinning. This was a tough day, and a weird one on Twitter. In between lovely pictures of Ben’s Zoom meeting & enjoying Sherlock’s 167th birthday were all kinds of wildness watching a coup on my government. Talk about cognitive dissonance! 🤪😂

I seriously think he is just insane. He won the election in 2016 because the divisiveness in his country was such that it opened the door to such an insane and incompetent man like him! He will go (probably by tomorrow if not tonight!) but the damage is still there! That's the saddest thing. It won't be easy to fix it.
I think the American Empire falling began with Bush Jr. and the 9/11 attack. I knew that country wouldn't be the same after I saw the towers collapsing.
The worst part of all is that the USA is and has always being very imperfect (for example, committing a lot of crimes in particularly Latin American countries with most of its citizens ignoring them) but I fear to think in a world dominated by China or Russia!

He is insane. Completely deranged. People in charge don’t think that b/c they can’t recognize it. We need mental health training ASAP.
I’ve always thought America is like the teenager on the world stage. The oldest kid in a family. We think we know everything, tell other countries what’s wrong with them, have no sense of self awareness, and bully other, smaller countries. Typical mindless teen behavior. I think we’re having some growing pains now, and a bit of reflection is creeping in, but we shall see.
Anyway, thanks for chatting with me about it today. It helped. 🥰🤗

Today was simultaneously so frightening and so ridiculous. Half of those rioters look like drunken frat boys: posing for selfies with the statues, carrying out a podium, stealing Nancy Pelosi's mail and door sign. Really, such morons. I dread to think what they will do on Inauguration Day. They obviously need a new security team.

It helped. 🥰🤗 Oddly - but with affection - I have always thought of all the young countries as 'adolescents.' Especially America. "if I can't play my way, I'm taking the ball home," attitude. Heaven only knows some supposedly 'adult' countries, I include the UK, have acted like spoiled kids on occasion. However there is a certain amount of wisdom too - so there should be after a thousand years. Perhaps, like adolescents, they still don't know for sure who they are?

Dickens, I think there’s an enormous amount of idealism in young countries, too. So they/we can’t see our past clearly and have unrealistic notions about who we are, our importance, and also we tend to make sweeping generalizations and can be unsubtle. Well, America’s getting a giant dose of big boy/girl pills right now. 🤷🏻♀️
