I am reading Peril (by Bob Woodward & Robert Costa). The Jan 6 insurrection was a LOT more serious than the fall of democracy. We were perilously close to a nuclear strike from China because they (and the rest of the world) saw that the U.S. was weak and unstable. The other countries envisioned a nuclear threat that could be taken by an unstable president who was stark-raving mad. It was compared to the Cuban Missile Crisis--that's how close we were to nuclear annihilation. At any moment, Trump could have blown up the world. But instead, he was being entertained by TV on the riots outside. It was exactly like Bin Laden laughing and cheering on the 9/11 attacks. Trump was GLEEFUL about what was happening, completely unaware that North America could be nuked back to the Stone Age at any minute. Nancy Pelosi was the only one who saw the bigger picture. SHE knows more about national security than the president of the U.S. So THIS is what we should be talking about.
