Yeah. He started good but fell back in line with the poor victim Trump line. |

Isn't this just the first state? (Arizona). I thought they had to stop and debate every time. |

Oh good gracious. That is insane.

He’s insane. Let’s say they did do a 10 day emergency committee and it came back no fraud. The goal posts would just move again. |

Not sure if anybody even remembers at this point, but it wouldn't even be the first Trumpian voter fraud commission that went away with a whimper when there were no bangs to be found. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/03/u...ommission.html Quote:

I’ve found CNN on my TV: I don’t know the players very very well, but Pennsylvania’s Senator Toomey spoke very well.

So how long until somebody gets killed today.
|
I feel like I am watching the opening scene in Argo
|
They need to break out the tear gas. This is stupid.
|
Fuck that, they need to break out the live ammo
|
Yeah, looks like there is no way this ends peacefully
|
I guess capitol police ran out of tear gas and rubber bullets in the summer
Or maybe the crowd is below the required melanin content SI |
Quote:
yeah. This isn't a car dealership or a best buy. They are literally trying to breach the capitol building. Wonder what would happen if they were Muslims? |
On the the steps is one thing, inside the building is another - those inside need to be treated like they are carrying out a terrorist attack
|
I think there's a real risk that if the police started opening fire, the crowd would as well.
I'm not sure how this ends well. SI |
This is the MAGA Super Bowl. They're more stoked about this than if Trump won and they went to the inauguration.
|
Imagine a BLM protest getting this far up the building and the chambers?
And now both chambers are in recess and a result of this attempted coup. Sent from my Pixel 4 XL using Tapatalk |

That would mean they had to step over a lot of dead black bodies. |

Honestly this is all I can think about watching this. |
Can't have a new President if they can't certify him.

Can we call it a coup now?
|
|
It is ALMOST like the incident at the Michigan state capitol set a precedent.
|
No tear gas? Odd who gets that treatment.
|
They are attempting a fucking coup. Senate and House evacuated. Thanks Trump for making us look like a banana republic.

Everyone involved in the attempted coup should be arrested and tried for treason.
|
Clear them the fuck out by any means necessary and get back to work. The GOP caused all this and frankly they need to be out there getting these people out.
|
Trump Jr. trying to be the voice of reason, didn't see that coming.
|
All I see is a bunch of thugs attempting a coup.
|
My heart is truly and completely broken. How could they have not been prepared for this? I knew the protesters where going try this, how the hot hell did our security forces?

The building probably burns today
|
The certification is required by law on January 6th. If they can't certify today, what happens...
|
CNN reporting there's an armed standoff between capitol police and an armed nut (my words not theirs) outside the congressional chambers
SI |
Holy shit

In case of armed insurrection, I think you get an extra day's grace period. Maybe it's just me |

A bunch of cops probably support it so |
Don't these people have jobs?
|
I've never seen such a clear-cut act of sedition than giving a speech and telling people to take it to the Capitol building, and then THEY DO in an attempt to halt the presidential certification. Trump should be impeached and arrested, pronto
|
Must be why he just tweeted for them to keep it peaceful.
|
Too fucking late, dildo
To be clear: Trump is the dildo |
Quote:
He and his shit turd children need to be arrested |
Thankfully most of them aren't wearing masks, so should be able to identify them and charge them.
|
But will they? They didn't bother stopping them from doing it in the first place.
|
I think there's a real risk that some people will decide they're already in trouble, so what the hell, let's start hurting folks.
|
"There are decades where nothing happens; and there are weeks where decades happen"

My thinking is, since they are on federal property, the feds will be the ones doing it, which will soon be run by a democrat AG. Not sure if that's how it really works though.

MSNBC caught an image of a woman bleeding profusely from her neck, upper torso coming out of the Capitol...

I just decided to repurpose this from the other thread.

DOD just denied a request by DC for Natl Guard troops.

Where is the US Military and why are they not clearing the Capitol.
I guess if you want to attack the US Government moving forward, just send a bunch of white folks waving flags and you can waltz right in. |
Trump has killed the USA and everything it stood for. There is no coming back from this and things will never be the same.
|
They're inside the house and senate chambers. Scary what's happening to this country.

You probably don't want martial law involved here, but then again there's this: SI |
I didn't like it when Hilary supporters did this in 2016 and I don't...oh wait...
|
So, what happens with the certification? Clearly the whole building will have to be sanitized.
|
Trump just tweeted they are the party of law and order. They can never claim that ever again.
|
This is how the Terran Empire in the mirror universe in Star Trek began, isn't it?
|
But the judges.
|
|
There's video of someone being stretchered out.
|
This is absolutely awful and unacceptable but is also the fastest way for Trumpism to die. Trump tweeting out pleading for them to be peaceful and support the police shows he knows he made a massive mistake.

You are giving him too much credit for intelligence, he's a stupid dangerous man. |

Forget sanitised, it’ll have to be swept for explosives |
When I told one of my apolitical coworkers what is going on, he said "just another day on the farm; 3 ring circus" like this is just a normal day at the office.
So many people are so desensitized to not realize this is what those days we read about in history books actually look like. SI |
Quote:
Because police are on their side? |
Quote:
They can see people in army fatigues using a riot shield to break the windows of the Capitol, someone’s been shot, and they’re worried about optics? |
This is why the Pentagon leadership was changed.

25th Amendment time. How can ANY senator advocate for Trump after this ( yes I am being naïve)
|
What good would 25th Amendment do? He's out in 2 weeks and doing it would escalate the protest/violence. What practical effect would it have? Seriously. They only listen to one person. Pence just stabbed them in the back - they gonna listen to him tell them the election's over and go home? I don't get it.

You think Susan Collins still thinks he learned his lesson?

You have to impeach and convict, since it bans him from ever holding federal office again.
|
|
They need to start cracking skulls
|
Yes. Impeach, convict, charge him with crimes. Force Republicans to defend an attempted coup in impeachment hearings if they still choose to defend him.

This event will be toxic as hell politically 4 years from now. Ted Cruz and others lilely lost their gamble.

There better be a ton of jail time coming to people who are doing this.
