And I'm sure there are lots of officials right on top of doing absolutely nothing about it. :sigh:

Wish you were wrong, but know you're right. Absolute travesty. My son was born on the 7th just past midnight. The whole day of the sixth I was watching and hoping that my son wouldn't be born the very day our democracy fell. I'm grateful some bulwark held, but it feels more and more like those cracks are just ignored.

Yep. Forget who said this, and I'm paraphrasing, but "A failed coup, without punishment for those who orchestrated it, is just a practice run."
