That’s Ben Collins, the same guy whose Twitter you linked just a few posts prior to the quoted one.

Capitol police was being helpful to some of the people in there…

I would assume Schumer also can’t be majority leader until the Georgia Dems are sworn in. And that’s not happening until at least sometime next week, as the state still has to certifiy the runoff election.

Waiting until Monday, lol.

In some ways having an impeachment signed by the house, waiting for the senate to act might be the best option. It basically puts a sword over Trump’s head for the last week and a half. If the Senate votes and rejects, then Trump knows he can go nuts again.

I’m sure Trump will just twiddle his thumbs and think about what a bad boy he’s been all weekend.

No rush guys.

Yep.

I guess the thing is I don’t know that he’s ever been the deciding vote against anything. ie, if he was the absolute key vote would he actually torpedo it? I only remember when he voted the other way were things where his vote didn’t matter to the result so it was a political calculation for himself.
he like collins like to do shit like this which pisses everyone on the internet off but without it they wouldn’t be senators now.

There’s a full field of ponies in this race.

Lol it took me a bit to realize these are the same 2 women - just different white balance. I was like - are they cloning Senate chamber assistants somewhere?

WE NEED MORE MODERATES.

Well if nothing else Manchin should calm the right down a tiny bit for a few days. Or at least give them a shiny distraction to play with.

What I would offer Joe Manchin is not sending his daughter to Guantanamo.
