“Gaze on, and grovel on thy face.”
Leavitt: His speech… it has rave reviews. The president really struck an inspirational tone.

“Gaze on, and grovel on thy face.”
In just one year, President Trump has reclaimed American sovereignty by boldly pursuing peace through strength. Because of his decisive leadership, our allies respect us, our adversaries fear us, and the American people are put first. Promises made, promises kept.

Incoherent. Lost in self worship. Slightly comical. Very dangerous.
Trump: “I lost a lot of respect for Norway, and I believe very strongly that Norway controls the Nobel Prize. You have to understand I settled eight wars. No president has probably ever settled one war.”

“Not only was Walter Cronkite spinning in his grave, I was hoping he would come back from the great beyond to choke the living sh*t out of him!” Jim Acosta absolutely destroys the new CBS Evening News MAGA anchor Tony Dokoupil. (Warning: Do not play video in front of the kids.)

The Minneapolis Star Tribune compiled a chilling recap of multiple incidents showing ICE agents escalating aggression toward innocent bystanders including detainments, threats of violence, and physical abuse. This isn’t law and order. It’s state violence.

So, to be clear, the young mother pulling slowly away from aggressive, unidentifiable, unvetted thugs with a history of violence is a terrorist but January 6 was a day of love?
"I will not be f*cking gaslit by these people. I will not calm down the rhetoric and tone it down....Jonathan Ross murdered her." @Timodc on the new footage of the Renee Good shooting:

A reminder as to why Trump wanted to stall the Electoral College vote on January 6: he was setting the stage for fraudulent slates of electors to sew confusion & Mike Lee was his legal lap dog. A modern Benedict Arnold and we will never forget it. #utpol

In a breathtaking reversal of reality, Trump uses a taxpayer funded White House website to whitewash the history of Jan. 6, blaming Capitol Police, Democrats and Pence -- everyone but himself and the mob that stormed the Capitol. @lukebroadwater @alanfeuer

A new web page on the official White House site blames the Capitol Police and Democrats for the pro-Trump mob riot, absolving the president of responsibility and calling participants “innocent.”

Five years ago today, Donald Trump urged his supporters to attack Congress and the Capitol over a proven lie. More than 140 police officers were injured. Trump then pardoned the attackers. He betrayed his oath and his country, and we won't ever forget it.

Happy Monday. Before we succumb to the amnesia of Trump’s Upside Down World, let’s take a moment to remember what happened five years ago. Because the shame of that day endures, and its consequences are all around us. https://t.co/o9iZ6DqzEf
