Like the knuckleheads at BLM protests who went beyond protest, these people are engaged in vandalism and looting. It's wrong, and they should be identified and arrested (and I think they will), but it is not terrorism any more than what BLM-adjacent vandals were doing was terrorism.

The problem is Pence has to get a majority of the cabinet secretaries to back him. Can they even vote if they are 'acting'?

Re: The WH Transition Thread --- all things Trump to Biden until Inauguration
I think "acting" secretaries have the same power as regular secretaries, so their votes would count.
I think the bigger question is whether Pence would have the courage and loyalty to do that, and whether a majority of cabinet officers would agree.
I think an impeachment might actually have a better chance at succeeding, but since the Constitution requires a trial presided over by the Chief Justice, that will probably take more than two weeks anyway.

Re: The WH Transition Thread --- all things Trump to Biden until Inauguration
Hey Max, long time listener, first time "above the line" quoter. Just a quick FYI, a lot of these people are the police, therefore there's not currently anyone to arrest the offenders. Had these people been black, availability would have been better. Love the show, I'll hang up and listen.

This is the very definition of terrorism, the use of force or intimidation for a political purpose. They are there to prevent Congress from announcing Biden's Presidency.

So they're bringing all the reps and senators to Ft Mcnair, shouldn't they certify the election there? I don't believe there's anything that requires it to happen in the Capitol.

Watching FoxNews, curious to see their take. Might as well be CNN, same tone and info. Bret Baier saying they confirmed the strong smell of tear gas in the basement of the Capital is from the terrorists. They went in with tear gas and used it on the police.

Whatever, man.
At a BLM protest here at the end of May, four guys burned a SLC police car.
I am not okay with that being considered terrorism. If you are, good for you.
