No precept or claim is more suspect or more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

A member of the Capitol Police force has died from injuries sustained yesterday. Blue Lives Matter, unless they get in our way. :roll:

ETA: My bad. Died of a stroke. Not clear to me whether the stroke was during or after the riot.
Possible udate:

Also, DeVos jumped ship.

Too crazy, Doc. I just saw what purported to be a press release from the Capitol Police saying no officers died.

DeVos. Another coward trying far too late to save her reputation.

Jimmy Kimmel last night. Time stamped. Trump's Inauguration speech matched with footage of yesterday's acts of insurrection. Oh, and musical accompaniment. Pretty darn powerful.

I think it was a sacrifice for Trump. Without Cabinet Members, Article 25 cannot be voted upon. Betsy DeVos got what she came for since she was able to significantly damage public education.

I dunno, Penguin. The relevant language is “principal officers of the executive departments,” whatever that means.

And now the USCP has announced that an officer who has been on life support has passed away. He was struck with a fire extinguisher by a rioter.

This video sort of explains a little of the psychosis of Trump supporters.

Elizabeth of Knoxville Tennessee, says to the cameraman that she was pushed and maced just as she crossed the entryway into the Capitol. When asked why she wanted to go in, Elizabeth answers with exasperation:
We're storming the Capitol! It's a Revolution!
Not quite, Elizabeth. It was a failed coup attempt. You just admitted to sedition against the United States government on camera. In Elizabeth's world, storming the Capitol is not only patriotic, she actually thinks she can admit to sedition on camera. This is the size of the bubble in which she, and most of the other seditionists, live.

Elizabeth, the Viking Jake and Richard (the guy in Pelosi's office) should all be arrested on sedition charges. Storm the Capitol and have it treated as an exercise of civil liberties? Methinks not.

Carl Jung said that Hitler was tapped in to the collective unconsious of the German Volk. Something similar is going on here.
