Summary

The January 6th MAGA riots that saw thousands of Trump loyalists ransack the Capitol Building will stain the President's legacy and will likely shadow the GOP for decades. The revulsion for Trump has grown to a fever pitch with scores of lawmakers calling for his removal from office. This was always the inevitable end for Donald Trump, the violence a by product of the lies and divisive rhetoric he used to stoke fear and foment rage.

Check out Michael's hilarious conversation with the movie funny man to soothe your soul after so much chaos and insurrection.
