        Are you kidding? The funniest thing in the world would have been J6ers getting into the Senate and lynching Mike Pence.

        FFS, imagine a world in which these goobers had caught up with Henry Cuellar or Bob Menendez or Mike Johnson or Mitt Romney or Chuck Grassley? I argue it would be a fundamentally better place.

        And, by the time the dust settled, Biden’s incoming administration might have taken the threat of a domestic insurgency a bit more seriously.

                I don’t believe the rest of the executive branch bureaucracy would honor the whims of an angry, badly organized mob.

                I do think a lot more of them would have been killed when the police retook the building.
