Dammit, I want to steal this one, but I don’t think it works out of context.

I’m not a lawyer, but “levying war” suggests some sort of organization, which this is… not, quite. It’s more like swarm dynamics. I think if I was going to start splitting hairs on treason vs sedition then maybe the Bundy crew’s antics in Oregon might make it on the treason side.

I’m in anger management now for allegedly spitting on one.
Don’t throw away your money.
Sadly, still not sure I regret it.
Oh btw- none of them wear masks. In case you were wondering. It’s a special hell I live in, I don’t recommend you join me.

I think it was treason, but the blanket pardon saved his butt eventually. I could be wrong.

Treason or sedition is these asshole reps and senators carrying forward with their objections to the electors after today. They need to be shouted down and censured.

I’d have to leave that idiot in a room by themselves. I wouldn’t tell 'em where the rest of us were going, either.

Trump locked out of Twitter for 12 hours? Impeachment might be a moot point, he might have an aneurysm from sheer rage.

I’ll bet other countries are feeling even safer given the size of the nuclear arsenal Jackass Preznit still controls.
I know I’m terrified.

Lots of news outlets are claiming that Trump authorized the DC National Guard. This is apparently a lie:

From Josh Marshall:
Is the President Still President?
We’re in a bit of a fog of war situation. But the statement from the acting Secretary of Defense said he had spoken to Pence and the Republican and Democratic congressional leadership about mobilizing the National Guard. But there was no mention of having talked to the President. Now the Times is reporting that it was Pence who gave the order for the deployment. Now, I guess great that he did that. But on what basis would the Vice President give that order? The Vice President isn’t commander-in-chief. Is the President still President? Is he somehow even in the White House seen to be commanding the the insurrectionists, not functioning as President? That sounds hyperbolic. But again, what’s the legal basis here?

The film doesn’t even begin to compare to the sheer horror of the novel; I will never read it again.
