How is in Charge Here?

The most obvious topic of this evening would be the attempted coup launched at the United States Capital while Congress was attempting to count the Presidential and Vice-Presidential electoral votes.  Barely had they delved into the accounting when an aggressive protest stormed the Bastille.  Instructed by their cult leader, the current President of the United States, a rowdy band of infidels broke into the Capital building and took over.  Unimaginably security was at a minimum (it was planned this way) and these forceful protestors were able to make their way onto both floors of Congress disrupting the order of business.  This was the plan, and while it has not been pointed out yet the strategic intent was to destroy the authenticated slates of state appointed electors and their results.  If state legislatures in some cases dispute the popular vote, they can appoint their own electors.  If the siege had been successful, these certified documents could have been lost prolonging the agony of certifying Joe Biden's win.  That was the intention.  Luckily one stead fast and quick minded aid saw fit to grab the booty and retreat, while Congressmen and women hunkered into more safe enclaves.  Shortly they will begin again counting the state's electoral votes and eventually certifying Joe Biden and Kamala Harris as the new leaders of America.  It is  quite the spectacle, and it was expected.  Rachael Maddow simply asks where is the leadership to control the consequences of such an attack?  Where is the acting AG?  Where is the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security?  Where is the President, when he should be there providing leadership to this process, his job.  Instead they themselves were the purveyors of the coup.  They allowed this siege to unfold with due purpose putting the lives of lawmakers in danger.  President Donald Trump immediately should be impeached and forcibly removed from office, but that cannot happen.  His henchmen are the Republican party, and they are in office.  Over half of the elected officials in the Senate are corrupt criminals, who allowed an impeached President to remain in office.  This is what you get.  The day began well with the state of Georgia flipping the balance of power in this Senate.  Had they not won, the Democrats in Georgia, perhaps the siege would not have taken place.  The term Banana Republic is being thrown around to describe the event.  Over the course of the afternoon procedures fell into place, a curfew was enacted, and a bountiful army of armed law enforcement officers appeared.  It has been haphazard at best, and the reason is simple.  This process, this procedure should be lead by the President of the United States.  Instead he was behind the attempted coup and allowed the event to happen.  There could be no more authentic reason to remove a President from office immediately, and yet the Biden team seems unfazed.  It only is fourteen more days until this clown will be run out of town on a rail.  What happens in the meantime will be on the conscience of?
