Funny how so many people in the “party of personal responsibility” 🙄 are so quick to blame someone else for their problems.

I thought he already was being sued over January 6. There are so many cases it’s hard to remember which is which.

To the tune of “**[Interjections!](https://youtu.be/YQ0696UhWrc)**”, from Schoolhouse Rock:

Insurrection (Heil!) show excitement (MAGA!) or emotion (DUH!).  
They generally result in a sentence for battery with a flagpole’s point.  
Or by a ball bat when the attacker’s not as strong.

So when you’re cult-ish (Hurray!) or mad (STOP THE STEAL!)  
Or illiterate (Wha-huh?) or bad (F\*\*\* your Feelings!)  
Or seditious (HANG MIKE PENCE!) or rad (Where’s the Shaman?!)  
An insurrection gets you a sentence, right?

The inbreds gathered on the Mall, uh-huh-huh  
When Trump refused to make the ca-all.  
Trump showed his inaction  
With a Fox News distraction  
And the crowd carried on with their insurrection!
