"The Big Lie"

Biden invokes Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels and says Hawley and Cruz are as much a party to The Big Lie as Trump himself. “It’s the Big Lie,” he says. “The Big Lie.”

I really want to see Hawley and Cruz defend themselves. They won't be able to resist punching that tar baby. Speaking of which:

And the man who killed his parents now pleads for consideration because he's an orphan:

WH spox @JuddPDeere45:

"As President Trump said yesterday, this is a time for healing and unity as one Nation. A politically motivated impeachment against a President with 12 days remaining in his term will only serve to further divide our great country."

Meanwhile, social media discovers it has responsibilities:

It’s notable that Biden can do a press conference where he separately praises Bernie Sanders, Mitch McConnell, and Mitt Romney — and it comes across as completely genuine

I really am gonna like this new President.

One thing we have learned this week is that being pro-coup isn’t good politics

The Trump riot essentially was an attack by the executive branch on the legislative branch. McConnell sided with the legislature. Cruz and Hawley did not.

Yup.
