Well, we can keep moving the goalposts of what is the optimum result and sink into nihilism or we can focus on accountability now. I'm focused on the latter.

A lot of them are being arrested and tracked down as we speak.

Hawley will remain a darling of the far right, but IMO he is now fated for the Palin trajectory. Any ambitions for rising to higher office or mainstream conservative stardom are now doomed.

Jim Acosta: "If you believe the president was trying to bring healing to the nation, I have an exciting array of Trump-related products for you." Says Trump is facing the prospect of losing the WH and Pence's protection, who is furious with him. CNN and MSNBC both calling the video ridiculous and pathetic, that he's trying to save his hide. Acosta, paraphrased: "There are some WH officials who are just not dealing with the reality of this situation, who think it's 'just some protestors who got out of line.' They're not living in reality." Gloria Borger: "The president has cordoned himself off. No serious person is talking to him anymore."

And before it gets posted: Yes, Dana Bash did briefly suggest a "new tone" in the above video. She was then shut down in under 30 seconds, agreed it didn't count, and CNN has spent the last half hour since slamming him.

Latest hostage video:

CNN: A Capitol Police officer died due to injuries from yesterday. LMAO. I'm sorry, this guy is over.

Oh lord:

Impeachment time.

Again: Literally under two minutes.

McEnany is up there now. The usual rhetoric: We reject yesterday's violence, we want a peaceful transition, now is the time to come together, we are one American people. She left in under two minutes with no questions.

Hoo boy:

They aren't going to get a pass. Language on even the softer profiles is changing by the moment and cracking down. Just because there is a particularly unctuous voice on Twitter with a following does not mean they automatically have the ear of commercial media and are all-powerful - they don't and aren't. Those outlets and key online and print outlets are running with 'insurrectionist mob' and 'domestic terrorists.'
