#JoeBiden writes in an OpEd:
What Americans should remember about #Jan6
“4 years ago, our #democracy was put to the test — & prevailed.
“On this Jan 6, order will be called. Clerks, staff & members of #Congress will gather to certify the results of a free & fair presidential #election & ensure a #PeacefulTransferOfPower. #CapitolPolice will stand guard over the citadel of our democracy.

'Donald #Trump is running to be an American #Tyrant,' says #BruceSpringsteen at a #KamalaHarris rally in #Georgia
[at least Springsteen pronounced her name correctly on the 3rd try]

Cowles added, “The #PeacefulTransferOfPower is part of the foundation of our country. If you don’t have that, all our #freedoms that are a part of the #Constitution will eventually disappear.”

America has a clear choice in this election. Who will honor our #democracy – & who will honor Donald Trump?

“Stop claiming your opponents will turn America into a dictatorship,” he said. “Give me a break. Because the fact is that I’m not a threat to democracy. They are.”
— #Trump, Wednesday, Long Island, NY
Um, he just claimed his opponents would turn #America into a #dictatorship.
Also, he’s the only candidate that tried to overthrow #democracy & stop the #PeacefulTransferOfPower w/a #violent #insurrection.

Many #conservatives have sought to kill the #legal doctrine for over a decade. And within the chorus, one has sung w/notable passion: #JohnEastman.
The same John Eastman who, on #Jan6, 2021, stood at a podium in DC beside fellow #Trump lawyer #RudyGiuliani & bellowed to an angry crowd that then–VP #MikePence ought to halt the #PeacefulTransferOfPower.…t was also Eastman…who drafted the #CoupMemos, which incl a multistep plan for Pence to hand the #election to Trump….

I reject utterly Zahawi's implicit message that Boris Johnston should have been immolated inside 10 Downing St.
Violence is never the answer to leadership matters in a democracy and the #PeacefulTransferOfPower needs to be protected.
Better by far that yet another national leader who was shown to be unfit to even lie in a public urinal should be removed in accord with due process.
“These threats of #violence are unacceptable. They threaten the fabric of our #democracy," #Garland says. The #AG also notes the 3rd anniversary of the *attack* (#insurrection) on the Capitol, calling #Jan6 "an unprecedented attack on the cornerstone of our system of government--the #PeacefulTransferOfPower from one administration to the next." He says >1250 people have been charged & >890 convictions have been obtained in the #DOJ's sprawling investigation of the 2021 attack.
#USAG #MerrickGarland says the #Justice Department is seeing a spike in #threats to people serving the #public, including #FBI agents, #judges, a #SCOTUS justice, presidential candidates, members of #Congress, the #military, & #election workers.

A fmr ldr in the #FarRight #ProudBoys was sentenced Thurs to #17years in #prison, just shy of the longest #punishment imposed on a participant in the #Jan6, 2021, #insurrection at the US Capitol.
“That day broke our tradition of #PeacefulTransferOfPower,” said US Dist Judge Timothy J. Kelly as he #sentenced #JosephBiggs, 39, of FL. “We don’t have it anymore.”

Heard #Trump say that his arraignment on charges of #conspiracy and #obstruction of an official proceeding in trying to prevent the #PeacefulTransferOfPower is a "Sad day for #America".
He's right about that, but not in the way he means.

Reminder that RepMTG advocated overturning the 2020 election and blocking the peaceful transfer of power. Was her election also fraudulent? Where is her indictment?

What did Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) say about organizing the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol?
This weekend Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene said if she were in charge of planning the January 6th attack, they would have 'won.'

“Both… were involved in efforts to get Trump to tell the rioters to go home, & then to commit to a #PeacefulTransferOfPower to #Biden.
“Both testified before the #Jan6 House select cmte, appearing for videotaped interviews in which both provided memories about the day. The cmte, in turn, repeatedly played clips of their testimony at some of its public hearings.
“Decisions, actually.
“As prosecutors proceed along two tracks — Donald Trump’s handling of #classified material at #MarALago & his role in seeking to prevent the #PeacefulTransferOfPower — it’s essential to keep in mind: This shouldn’t be a choice about which case to pursue. Both implicate important governmental interests. This is not a matter of either/or.”
Growing up, I learned that the peaceful transfer of power was one of the distinctions between the United States and nations with unstable regimes. I always took that for granted.
If it wasn’t for Trumpism, I might still.
