Source:

    Defense and administration officials said it was Vice President Mike Pence, not President Trump, who approved the order to deploy the D.C. National Guard. It was unclear why the president, who incited the protesters to storm the Capitol and who is still the commander in chief, did not give the order.

    >>"unclear"

What the fuck is wrong with you old-guard dipshits? Are you so bound by the now-obviously exploited "classical journalism" style that you're actually unable to reach a more definitive conclusion? Or is it impossible to get anything past the editor unless you feign utter stupidity?

Here is Mo Brooks inciting a riot:

Hours later, Mo Brooks condemns the riot he helped incite:

Remember when we joked about blaming the rioting on Antifa infiltrating the protestors? People are doing that for realzies, in the twitter comments on the above post. Classic.

Anyway. Something tells me Congress will attempt to hold the certification tonight, in an undisclosed location, but I dunno how they're gonna get Pence back to preside over the proceedings, he was taken to a separate location, I heard. While I have some fears about transparency, that still might be the best thing to do.
