Mick Mulvaney Out For Good!

Mick Mulvaney bounces.

BLACK LIVES MATTER

GOOGLE'S BLOGGER IS TRASH!

With the Blogger interface, it is getting harder to make blog posts. I am not kidding.

The way they rolled this interface out maybe the death knell for the once beloved media platform.

I am not going to lie, this is frustrating and I am going to make my postings shorter and quicker now.

The mass exodus of White House staffers continues.

Mick Mulvaney is out. 

The former White House chief of staff, special envoy to Northern Ireland and Office of Budget and Management official is stepping down in the wake of the chaos at the U.S. Capitol.

He decision to leave the White House comes amid the president's decision to not condone the actions of that mob violence.

President Donald J. Trump encouraged an uprising on Wednesday. He along with his sons, Donald Trump, Jr., Eric Trump; personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani and former campaign adviser Roger Stone called for a rebellion against the lawmakers who endorsed the decision to certify his successor Joseph R. Biden II as the next President of the United States.

Four people lost their lives in the chaos. Less than 60 people were arrested. 

There was destruction inside the Capitol. The FBI and U.S. Capitol Police are jointly investigating those who infiltrated the offices and those who vandalized the property.

Overnight, Congress has officially certified Biden and Kamala Harris as the president and vice president.

Trump couldn't be controlled.

Vice President Mike Pence, visibly angry denounced the violence and said that his decision to carry forth the Electoral College was his duty and bucked Trump's last minute attempts to subvert the will of the American voter.

Outgoing senator, Kelly Loeffler of Georgia said that she will no longer contest the decision to block Biden and Harris from certification. She along with Sen.David Perdue (R-GA) lost to Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff in a closely watched run off election.

Some Republican senators still contested the certification. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO), Sen. Cynthia Lummis (R-WY), Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL), Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT), Sen. Cindy Hyde Smith (R-MS), Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) and Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS) were still continuing this farce. There were 124 House Republicans who also contested this as well.

Mulvaney was the long suffering OMB official who ended up being the temporary chief of staff for Trump was supposed to calm him down and get him on the right path.

Alas, he didn't. 

Mulvaney was a staunch supporter of Trump. He was then a U.S. Representative from South Carolina's 5th Congressional District. He served that position for at least four terms.

He held multiple duties with the White House. He was also the acting Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.

In his resignation letter, Mulvaney said that he couldn't take it no more.

"I called [Secretary of State] Mike Pompeo last night to let him know I would be resigning from that. I just can't do it. I can't stay."

Mulvaney added, "The President of the United States went on stage and said go march down the street and invade the Capitol, and they did ... Clearly, he is not the same as he was eight months ago, and certainly the people advising him are not the same as they were eight months ago, and that leads to a dangerous sort of combination as you saw yesterday."

Mulvaney also played a key figure in the impeachment of the president. He defied a congressional subpeona to testify. He knew that Trump was pressuring the president of Ukraine to find dirt on Biden and his son Hunter for military aid.

There's talk that many staffers and possibly Pence himself, invoking the 25th Amendment. This only works in the case the president is inable to carry out his duties.

Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) and several House Democrats are calling for the 25th Amendment. 

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Rep. Pramilia Jayapal (D-WA) and Rep. Seth Moulton (D-MA) are calling for Articles of Impeachment against the president.

Biden has condemned the actions of the mob and denounced Trump's feeble attempts to justify this as a "peaceful protest."
