The Joint Chiefs of Staff, the Pentagon body comprising the military’s top generals, issued a memo to the entire U.S. military on Tuesday condemning the Capitol riot and confirming Biden will become the 46th commander in chief of the armed forces on Jan. 20.

In the memo, the top Pentagon brass characterized the violent riot as “a direct assault on the U.S. Congress, the Capitol building and our Constitutional process,” and said the military remained fully committed to protecting and defending the Constitution “against all enemies foreign and domestic.”

“As service members, we must embody the values and ideals of the nation,” the top brass said. “We support and defend the Constitution. Any act to disrupt the Constitutional process is not only against our traditions, values and oath; it is against the law.”

3. You are welcome - there is a sudden "Tuesday dump" going on

(I guess because we're a week away from the day we have been waiting 4 years for and because of the House's upcoming actions tonight and tomorrow PLUS the insanity of 45's first public comments that expressed no remorse whatsoever, since the insurrection)

5. Seems to be so, a Tuesday news dump.

Just saw on CNN...McConnell saying that trump may have committed impeachable offenses. Knock me over with a feather.

Okay, now DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!

Let this be understood by all!
