I was having an interesting thought at the end of this clip. Think back to four years ago, when those on the left side of the aisle were being mocked, and were being told we were trying to delegitimize the president even though that wasn't what any of us were saying. None of us disputed the outcomes of the election (that I am aware of) but yet we were told we were, were mocked for it, and told to "get over it."

Now, we have a not-insignificant portion of the country that is doing that very thing, and they are the ones that were mocking the left four years ago! It's just baffling how much irony exists in this whole situation.

Careful...you're gonna get a "both side" argument! 

But no, seriously, the same people in my newsfeed that cried about "everyone gets a trophy", "learn to lose", etc are currently still claiming things need "investigated" or that Trump really didn't lose.

It's is sad.

Apparently, security threats have caused the Capitol Police to request the continued presence of the ARNG. That is concerning.

I was getting ready to compare this to Greene's random calls for a full vote just to disrupt the House that day.  Sane people have to react and do the right thing while the crazy people keep on keeping on.
