What’s the end result here? Does it escalate to the point of violence and appropriate response?

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

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:

President Trump on Wednesday abruptly shut down a White House commission he had charged with investigating voter fraud, ending a brief quest for evidence of election theft that generated lawsuits, outrage and some scholarly testimony, but no real evidence that American elections are corrupt.

(...)

In fact, no state has uncovered significant evidence to support the president’s claim, and election officials, including many Republicans, have strongly rejected it.

Mr. Trump established the commission after his repeated insistence, without credible evidence, that widespread voter fraud explained how Hillary Clinton received about 2.9 million more votes while he won the presidency in the Electoral College.

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

They need to break out the tear gas. This is stupid.

AlexB · 01-06-2021, 01:22 PM

Yeah, looks like there is no way this ends peacefully

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?

AlexB · 01-06-2021, 01:24 PM

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

sterlingice · 01-06-2021, 01:24 PM

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
