Result?  He soon resigned.

I have a vague feeling of unease, underneath the relief. Someone on social media likened it to being in a horror movie where the monster has been killed, but there's still 15 minutes left in the picture.

I agree. I hope it's not a long 15 minutes, but a lot can still happen.

Well, it's down to 6 minutes now. So far, pretty good.....

Agreed.  A lot of people are afraid of his declaring martial law.  Still, how do you put down an insurrection that doesn't exist?  It is simply too cold out for the protests of this summer, and everyone is seeing how Georgia and the early Biden years play out anyway.  One response to martial law is to do nothing until noon on January 20th, then Biden tells the military to stand down.

Then there is impersonating someone with official authority...

I do hope that can be a felony.  That would make Trump ineligible to hold a federal office.
