Here is a longer summary:

The Washington Post - Trump: ‘I unequivocally condemn the violence that we saw last week’

13 Jan 2021

In a video statement released Wednesday, Trump said he “unequivocally” condemned the attack on the U.S. Capitol last week and warned his supporters that upcoming demonstrations should remain peaceful.

“Violence and vandalism have absolutely no place in our country and no place in our movement. Making America great again has always been about defending the rule of law, supporting the men and women of law enforcement and upholding our nation’s most sacred traditions, and mob violence goes against everything I believe in and everything our movement stands for,” Trump said in a five-minute video released shortly after the House voted to impeach him.

Trump attempted to distance himself from the rioters, even though all evidence has shown they were overwhelmingly supporters of the president, drawn to Washington by his rhetoric and their shared grievance over his baseless claims that the presidential election was “stolen.”

“No true supporter of mine could ever endorse political violence. No true supporter of mine could ever disrespect law enforcement or our great American flag. No true supporter of mine could ever threaten or harass their fellow Americans,” Trump said Wednesday. “If you do any of these things, you are not supporting our movement, you are attacking it, and you are attacking our country. We cannot tolerate it.”

Appearing to read off a script, Trump said he had heard reports that there would be additional demonstrations, and said that while it was his supporters’ First Amendment right to convene and exercise their free speech, they must remain peaceful. There have been credible reports of additional violent pro-Trump protests planned between now and Inauguration Day, and the FBI warned this week that similar violence could break out at state capitols, as well.

“I must emphasize there must be no violence, no lawbreaking and no vandalism of any kind,” Trump said.

In the video, Trump made no mention of the election, and still did not concede that Joe Biden won a free and fair election. The remarks in the video also contradicted his own initial statement the night of the Capitol riot last Wednesday, in which he told his supporters to go home, adding: “We love you. You’re very special.”

The video was released through the White House Twitter account; Trump’s main account, @realDonaldTrump, was permanently suspended last week on fears it could incite further violence. Trump alluded to the ban in his latest video, saying there had been an “unprecedented assault on free speech.”

What a load of meaningless dribble. You can tell he does NOT mean a single thing he is saying. Usually he is quite animated and mumble kindergarten speaking but this looks like he has taken elocution lessons and very practice like.

Hint to Donald - best to speak your natural lying ways that way we know it is your truth and not someone's else's lies.

I hope his lawyers are never hired by respectable law firms ever again, with maybe some being disbarred.

The White House and the Resolute Desk has seen and heard a lot of BS in their time but none more so than in the last four years from the rabid dog of Donald J. Trump

Whilst the difficult we can do immediately, the impossible takes a bit longer. However, miracles you will have to wait for.

He made a scarily reasonable-sounding speech in a scarily reasonable-sounding voice, without even mangling any pronunciations. Think of HAL the computer saying 'I can't do that, Dave.'

He should have added "Proud boys, stand back and stand down"

I just had an intriguing thought. Since the video was so un-Trump-like, the enunciation so correct, the tone so flat, could this have been a White house produced deep fake?

Muffled. His legal staff are telling him to tone down, otherwise the conviction has more weight. Its a weak attempt to dilute the trial. Its not even a weak attempt to do something right, its just to get some points on, for the trial. Purely selfish. All about me

I also heard that even if he pardoned himself, there is swath of charges is is up for

Meanwhile, back at the ranch ...

The Washington Post - Trump and Pompeo’s campaign of ‘diplomatic vandalism’

yesterday

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has spent recent days planting political land mines for a Biden administration keen to change course on Trump’s foreign policy.

On Saturday, Pompeo announced he was lifting formal restrictions on contacts between U.S. and Taiwanese officials ...

On Sunday, Pompeo confirmed that the State Department would designate Yemen’s Houthi rebels as a foreign terrorist organization ...

On Monday, the Trump administration opted to classify Cuba as a state sponsor of terrorism ...

And on Tuesday, Pompeo declared Iran the “home base” for terrorist group al-Qaeda ...

These actions appear to have a clear purpose - “fire sale diplomacy” - parting shots from the outgoing administration deliberately aimed at hampering the incoming administration’s foreign policy. ...

I would like to elevate Lucy's excellent response to the status of an Internet meme. I call on everyone to use it as much as possible, wherever possible. It is the perfect comeback to all the Pussy Boy nonsense:

No, Peanut. You are not patriots.
