Protesters are charging toward the Captiol steps. Some tried to scale the construction structures and have been tackled by police. They want to enter the building and are making attempts at intervals. Capitol police trying to hold them back.
The failure of the Capitol Police and Federal Law Enforcement to protect the Capitol of the United States is profound. It is inexcusable.
New York Times is reporting that Trump had nixed any preparation by the National Guard for this, stating that it was the responsibility of local law enforcement.
Looks like they are being called in however. State Troopers from Virginia as well. I guess people are starting to go around that useless turd who is still nominally "the president" and do the responsible thing. These sort of actions cannot be tolerated, period.

And its obvipus how that is turning out!
Recently a lot of Covid Vaccine is being produced-- but actual immunizations are waaaay behind schedule. I was wondering why, so I googled for information.
Well-- same problems as this one. Trump has refused to organize the effort on the federal level-- says it must be up to each state.
The White House just released a video where he asks the rioters to go home. That is one sentence from the video. In the rest of the video he says that the election was stolen from him and he understands how angry the rioters are because he was not treated fairly.
Hopefully the police will follow Trump's advice when it comes to dealing with unruly protesters. I wanna see rubber bullets, tear gas, people being snatched up in unmarked vehicles, the works. Good for the goose, good for the gander.
Yep. This is fucking absurd, Trump supporters are the worst. Hopefully law enforcement does there jobs before this goes any further, a little bit more and it will be a full on coup de tat situation.

Radical GOP members on House floor (which is now locked down) just cheered the Capitol police, as the mob they incited and invited attacks police outside the building.
Such assholes. THEY are partly responsible for this. Shows you who they really are, this has been a political game for them but now when they see that their bullshit has real consequences they cower like the little fuckers they are. Let the mob have them.
It is amazing how much unnecessary animosity and damage a single individual (Trump) can cause. It is also amazing the degree to which blind partisanship can affect human minds.
Morning. We could not be more different. From your guns laws to your elections and our general way of thinking. We will always support the US but we will also speak our mind if and when required.
Morning.. unfortunately every country has their feral element and they are a pain in the arse. We watch with great interest and all we can say is roll on Jan 20th..just hope some nut does not pull out an AK 15..to be honest I have been expecting that for the last few weeks...
This isn't a disagreement, this is inciting a riot and bordering on sedition. But by all means, excuse it all away, i expect nothing less from a Trump supporter. Everything is okay if your side does it. [deletd]

I wonder when you will read the comments and begin to understand them.
Here is the post I responded to--since you OBVIOUSLY didn't read or comprehend it:
It’s high time to remove the outgoing POTUS who incited this, and any POS congressperson who disagrees. Put them all in prison.
Look, I took what the poster said--not what you IMAGINED he said or what you WANTED him to say, and I don't know how to break this to you, but he DAMN SURE said that he wanted people jailed who disagreed. It's RIGHT THERE, so NO SENSE in your futile denial of FACT.
No one deflected a damn thing except your little excursion to get personal with me.
Imagine jailing people merely because they disagree with you.
I was responding specifically to this.
There was no misunderstanding. You made this specific statement, I responded to this specific statement. I wasn't responding to another poster's comment, just yours. I was saying that what is happening goes beyond just a disagreement, more or less calling your description insufficient and intentionally so. I know that is difficult for you to grasp, but that has been painfully obvious for some time now.
There was no misunderstanding. You made this specific statement, I responded to this specific statement. I wasn't responding to another poster's comment, just yours
Well, THAT explains why you don't have a fucking clue what you are yammering on about. I just never really expected you to admit it!
I am asking for everyone at the U.S. Capitol to remain peaceful. No violence! Remember, WE are the Party of Law & Order – respect the Law and our great men and women in Blue. Thank you!
Fuck Trump, the son of a bitch needs to be prosecuted as soon as he is out of office. Otherwise our country is saying presidents can do anything they wish, including inciting riots and borderline encouraging a coup.
The left are starting to get a taste of their own medicine. Seems some on the right were taking notes. But they missed the arson, assault, vandalism, murder, and theft parts that the far left Brown Shirts used.
This is their first trial run; I am sure they will get it correct with enough practice.
Notice no one on the left is cutting these protesters and their enablers the same slack they did with their own Brown Shirts (Antifa and BLM); and Democratic mayors and governors that told their police to back off.
I have said it before, "either the law applies to everyone, or no one". Seems the left is going to have to find this out the hard way.
So, it is ok for the leftist Brown Shirts to pull this shit on federal property; but not anyone on the far right?
The law only applies to some it seems; just depends on their political bent.
Wake me when they start doing real damage if you have to ask what that is look at the Federal buildings and Court House in Portland, OR. Till then these are "mostly peaceful protesters showing their anger at a process that is seeking to exclude them."
Hopefully the morons in the capital will refrain from calling in the National Guard or military. Then we all might find out what a modern day version of a Civil War looks like.
Stop the BS, Ronin, go fucking whine to someone that gives a fuck what you have to say.
Peaceful protesters were tear-gassed and beaten to give Trump a fucking photo op. And what the fuck happened today. Traitors storm our capitol and you try to compare that to Anita an BLM.
showing their anger at a process that is seeking to exclude them.If they voted, then they were included in the process. They just can't handle the truth. Just like you seem not to not.
I know right? If they voted then they were part of the process, they just didn't win. If they didn't vote then they excluded themselves and they can fuck right off.
What happened today should not be a surprise to anyone with a working brain. The handwriting has been on the wall for weeks. Trump has more or less alluded to this kind of coup for the past few days. And when he said he would be with them when they made their attack on the capitol, which is what it really was, Cadet Bone Spurs ran off to the WH to hide and let his brain dead supporters pay the price for what he preened them to do.
Giuliani stood before them and gave the signal for them to begin their attack and breech the Capitol, also standing back and letting the protesters pay the price for being stupid enough to believe Trump.
I could just see in my minds eye Trump sitting all safe and comfy in the WH watching the riotous action and laughing his ass off at those who believed in him so much they were willing to risk their lives to try to keep him in office that he does not rightfully possess anymore.
I have suspected this to happen ever since he refused to accept that he lost the election like a real man, which he has proved on more than one instance that he is not, and so willing to throw others under the bus and even risk their lives but not his own, to try to keep what no longer belongs to him.
He goes well beyond being a sore loser, he is a Traitor to the oath of office he took when he was sworn in as President. The only life he cares about is his and Ivanka's. And only then if she will continue to let him fondle and kiss her.
They are both sick, and Melania deserves Trump and the life he has chosen to live. I truly feel sorry for Barron, as he is innocent in the middle of it all and yet will pay the price for his last name.
And Trump should be immediately removed from office in order to prevent any further events such as this, or much worse. And Pence has the authority by the 25th Amendment to do just that.
What happened today should not be a surprise to anyone with a working brain.
Not at all. Trump has been fanning the flames and inciting exactly this for months, even before the election. This was ALWAYS where this was going, it was obvious to anyone who isn't unbelievably stupid.
And Trump is loving it, this is an ego trip for him. I am sure he is actually hoping some of his supporters get seriously injured or killed, because to him that will just show how in thrall they were to him, thus boosting his ego further. He actively enjoys other people's suffering and misery, especially when it comes about in service to him.
Is “the left” anywhere near this pathetic show of anti democracy? No. When this crowd gets cut down and ripped to shreds by LE and the National Guard, good luck blaming anyone but your sleazebag compatriots.
Is “the left” anywhere near this pathetic show of anti democracy? No.
Where the hell have you been for the last 5 plus years. The left after the very definition of "anti democracy".
When this crowd gets cut down and ripped to shreds by LE and the National Guard, good luck blaming anyone but your sleazebag compatriots.
When that happens you can kiss the US goodbye.
The left will cheer, and the right will all come out to fight. Including many in the military who will not take kindly to being asked to put down US citizens. Putin will be laughing his ass off. He didn't have to do a damn thing to destroy the US. We did it ourselves.
See what all that appeasement the left has been doing to their Brown Shirts has brought?
And that's the sad part of all of this. Even with the rioting and the storming of the Bastille..er...Capitol Building some will never see their king as the man he truly is.
Seems not being able to stand the asshole isn't enough. Not voting for him the first time around wasn't enough. Unless I follow every irrational, illegal, immoral leftist whim I am a "Deplorable". I didn't vote for Trump this time either; I voted against Democrats at every level. It was the first time ever I voted straight Republican ticket. I will never support the last 5 years of the shit they put this country through. Since I have been told voting 3rd party is a waste of a vote- and I put Trump in office by voting for Gary Johnson- it will be the lesser of two evils from now on. Right now the Democrats are the most evil thing around.
That is the reason I don't have many friends on the left anymore. TDS has driven them around the damn bend.
When the Trump administration did something I agreed with I said so. When they didn't I said so as well.
Same thing I did with Obama, both Bushes, and Clinton.
But continue to lump me in with the Deplorables- I always like to know where I stand with everyone when push comes to shove.
Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) condemned the violence at the Capitol on Wednesday, calling the demonstrations by President Trump 's supporters “a coup attempt.”
The GOP lawmaker, who has been vocal about his opposition to challenging the Electoral College results, slammed the demonstrators entering the Capitol.
I thought about that as well. We are now an international joke. Just another aspect of Trump's "legacy", we can no longer call ourselves the leaders of shit or a bastion of democracy.
YOUR Senators and Congressmen were attacked by Trump supporters and needed to be evacuated wearing gas masks.
They aren't my anything. They are all different sides of the same piece of turd. Not one of them is worth a damn. Both sides want the exact same thing- to stay in power forever. They could give a rats ass about us.
The stupid delay tactics by far right Senators and House reps was interrupted by these fruit cakes.
Ask me if I care? Trump lost. I haven't disputed that once. These people are pissed. We have been shown countless times that it is OK to storm federal property and destroy it by the leftist Brown Shirts. This is mild by comparison so far.
This is a NO WIN situation, a coup attempt by a sitting US POTUS.
No this is "mostly peaceful protestors angered by a system that they feel doesn't represent them." If you go by Democratic and media standards for BLM and Antifa.
The international cost of this is immeasurable.
Could give a fuck. You think the last five years of the Democrats, media, and the "Trump is not my President" crowd did us any favors on the international stage? Please. Trump was bad; the left was fucking worse.
XI & Putin are probably laughing their asses off.
On that we can agree on. You just happen to think they weren't laughing their asses off over the last 5 years with the shit the left was pulling. They have been laughing for a very long time; and they aren't going to stop. XI is very pleased China, err I mean Biden, won. Biden will be "Making China Great Again" in no time.
We elected a defective moron in 2016 and are reaping the poisoned fruit of this term.
What do you mean we? I didn't vote for Trump in 2016. Once again you are ignoring the Democrats at every level that were far more toxic and disruptive than Trump.
Now dozens, maybe hundreds are being arrested for property damage and at least one possible death
A slow day at a BLM and Antifa protest.
IN THE HEART OF OUR OWN CAPITOL BUILDINGS.
Thought the left didn't give a shit about federal property, monuments, or anything else? Or is that since the right is doing the damage they suddenly care? Or is it selective federal property- since the left now thinks they own Washington DC?
[delted] These cocksuckers have invaded the U.S. Capitol building during a session of congress. They attacked police etc. to get there. This is a borderline coup.
"The left" never did ANYTHING like this in response to the results of a free and fair election. [deleted]
Where's Trump? Why isn't he tweeting ORDERS to his sycophants to get the fuck OUT of the Capitol of the United States? Why isn't he in front of cameras telling them to 'stand down'?
Every fucking one of the people that are arrested @ the Capitol should be prosecuted for sedition.
Where's Trump? Why isn't he tweeting ORDERS to his sycophants to get the fuck OUT of the Capitol of the United States? Why isn't he in front of cameras telling them to 'stand down'?
Saw an update that according to his aides he doesn't want to do more. Apparently they are getting so upset with him that they wish they could throw him to the mob. I know for a fact that Trump is actually loving this. He doesn't care about the property damage or that people have already started getting hurt. If anyone dies that will be a bonus to him. He is just mentally masterbating to the fact that he has the ability to incite a riot to begin with and that he has so many people slavishly devoted to him. This is an ego trip for Donald Trump.
At least on the 20th we will have a PotUS who can behave in a presidential manner. An individual who is trying to do what is best for the nation (per his viewpoint) rather than what is best for himself.
This also might be a good time to give some thought on security of the Capitol. I am amazed that its security was so easily bypassed today.
At least on the 20th we will have a PotUS who can behave in a presidential manner.
I personally think the 25th needs to be invoked. Not only is this a direct result of the "POTUS" lying and fanning of the flames for months, he actively encouraged it in person this very morning. Since this all started he has been almost entirely silent, only saying or doing anything because his aides have more or less begged him. According to inside sources he himself had no intention of trying to put a stop to any of this. That is dereliction of duty in the extreme.
I don't know how any lawmakers or government employees can look at him with anything resembling respect after he failed to protect them personally but also the institutions they stand for and federal property. He not only failed to do this, he actively encouraged this very thing and put them in danger. This is bordering on treason IMO.
I am amazed that its security was so easily bypassed today.
Agreed. The fact that the U.S. Capitol building was so easily overrun with the entirety of congress inside when everyone KNEW exactly this was a possibility? What the fuck?
The fact that the U.S. Capitol building was so easily overrun with the entirety of congress inside when everyone KNEW exactly this was a possibility? What the fuck?
Could be an inside job or with capitol police co-operation. The FBI should investigate.
Additionally, Trump has now tweeted out his support for the riot today. He was always unfit, but now he is actively supporting violence against his own government.
Our finest MAGA in action.
They have had to lock down one of the congressional buildings
Time for some tear gas
For starters.
And for the Police to demonstrate their "Baton twirling skills"!
The failure of the Capitol Police and Federal Law Enforcement to protect the Capitol of the United States is profound. It is inexcusable.
New York Times is reporting that Trump had nixed any preparation by the National Guard for this, stating that it was the responsibility of local law enforcement.
The mayor of Portland thought it was the responsibility of local law enforcement, too.
Looks like they are being called in however. State Troopers from Virginia as well. I guess people are starting to go around that useless turd who is still nominally "the president" and do the responsible thing. These sort of actions cannot be tolerated, period.
They don't have a choice, no one can contact him after he goes into the bunker then closes and locks the door.
And its obvipus how that is turning out!
Recently a lot of Covid Vaccine is being produced-- but actual immunizations are waaaay behind schedule. I was wondering why, so I googled for information.
Well-- same problems as this one. Trump has refused to organize the effort on the federal level-- says it must be up to each state.
Which totally screwed things up.
IIRC, Steve Schmidt is a Republican...?
The White House just released a video where he asks the rioters to go home. That is one sentence from the video. In the rest of the video he says that the election was stolen from him and he understands how angry the rioters are because he was not treated fairly.
Mind blowing.
Still inciting, what a shock.
The Republicans are "The Party of Law and Order"!
/sarc
They tear-gassed peaceful protesters when Trump wanted a photo op so WTF is the problem with tear-gassing and arresting these assholes.
My thoughts exactly, cmon capitol police, fuck'em up. Let's at least have some consistency.
Hopefully the police will follow Trump's advice when it comes to dealing with unruly protesters. I wanna see rubber bullets, tear gas, people being snatched up in unmarked vehicles, the works. Good for the goose, good for the gander.
CNN is basically saying the police have been overrun
Some MAGA scum got into the senate building
The rioting MAGA have breached the House floor!
Yep. This is fucking absurd, Trump supporters are the worst. Hopefully law enforcement does there jobs before this goes any further, a little bit more and it will be a full on coup de tat situation.
Their. Eh, what a dumb grammatical error.
All for a POS that does the following:
lies, bullying, name-calling, cheating, tax fraud, money to billionaires, incompetence, inability to craft a sentence, being smarter than his generals, no medical plan, dreadful COVID attitude, hiring bad people, pardons for traitors, golf golf golf, Stormy, grabbing them by the, Putin love, ghost-written books, bankruptcies, I just need 11,780 votes, military housing fund diverted to building the wall, good people on both sides, no dog, impeachment, affairs, $1.3 billion in debt, 3,500 lawsuits, 26 assaults on women, 6 deferments, 23,658+ lies, millions unemployed, 370+ Rounds of Golf, 27 Handicap, 64" waistline, QAnon, Ivanka at the UN, emoluments, climate change, healthcare, oil drilling in National Parks, selling national parkland, shiphole countries, Iran, North Korea, election lies
DISGRACEFUL
Hear ! Hear !

Oh-- I forgot to mention: The Republican Party is The Party of Law and Order!
There is now a 6:00 curfew in DC
Such assholes. THEY are partly responsible for this. Shows you who they really are, this has been a political game for them but now when they see that their bullshit has real consequences they cower like the little fuckers they are. Let the mob have them.
It is amazing how much unnecessary animosity and damage a single individual (Trump) can cause. It is also amazing the degree to which blind partisanship can affect human minds.
All for one of the worst human beings to ever live.
almost mass hysteria by a specific demographic.
Pence may be in danger and they may be evacuating him from the building.
Meanwhile Trump is silent.
tRump threw him under the bus during the 'rally'
What a shit show. Keep moving rest of the world ... nothing to see here.
To late I am afraid..headlines here..
Yeah. You all may want to stop taking your cues from the us, apparently we can't even have an election without it turning into a shit show.
Morning. We could not be more different. From your guns laws to your elections and our general way of thinking. We will always support the US but we will also speak our mind if and when required.
Where are the National Guard?
Is this what trmp meant when he said stand back and stand by?
Welcome to the world's newest Banana Republic.
I'm too old for this shit
Morning.. unfortunately every country has their feral element and they are a pain in the arse. We watch with great interest and all we can say is roll on Jan 20th..just hope some nut does not pull out an AK 15..to be honest I have been expecting that for the last few weeks...
Sadly we have a president who only wants to tear down our democracy.
This is way more than a feral element there are millions of these rabid rats.
They just interviewed one here. She lives in Melbourne..nutty as a fruit cake..might be time our deportation rules kick in...
Hell yes, thrown her ignorant ass out of Australia.
It’s high time to remove the outgoing POTUS who incited this, and any POS congressperson who disagrees. Put them all in prison.
What concerns me is just how much irreversible damage he can do before the 20th.
His presidency has made very clear the need to seriously reign in the executive branch, by laws or constitutional amendments.
Man, that sounds exactly like a "democracy" I would never like to live in.
Imagine jailing people merely because they disagree with you.
How dictator-like!

Anyone remember "Lock Her Up"???
Anyone remember when you didn't try to change the subject?
Or when you knew what the fuck the subject even was?
That was different-- they were shouting that because they disagreed with her!
I know Texan, you hate it when I point out your hypocritical statements.
This isn't a disagreement, this is inciting a riot and bordering on sedition. But by all means, excuse it all away, i expect nothing less from a Trump supporter. Everything is okay if your side does it. [deletd]
I wonder when you will read the comments and begin to understand them.
Here is the post I responded to--since you OBVIOUSLY didn't read or comprehend it:

This is to both posters above. I value freedom of speech but you are pushing the limits. Knock it off with the CoC violations. Only warning.
Meh, you know I am not worried about being suspended again.
If they are criminals treat them as such.
Breaking the law on a regular basis is a far cry from a disagreement. LOCK THEM UP!!!
I agree.
Again, one must read the post I responded to to be able to understand what I wrote.
hard concept, but I think you can handle it.
Situation escalating
sirens in the background
secret service with guns drawn and pointed at doorway
A protester is sitting in the Senate well chamber.
this is trumps latest response about 5 minutes ago
FUCK YOU TRUMP !!!!
Can he make anymore of an ignorant statement? It's like he is walking down murder's row telling them that they are the victims.
Fuck Trump, the son of a bitch needs to be prosecuted as soon as he is out of office. Otherwise our country is saying presidents can do anything they wish, including inciting riots and borderline encouraging a coup.
Also, to these rightwing scum, "We love you and you're special" - I couldn't believe it until I heard it with my own ears.
He needs to be charged with sedition, shackled, perp-walked to the closest smoking aircraft and sent straight to Guantanamo.
Protesters are wandering around the Senate chambers rummaging through the desks......
Same reported in the House Chambers but no video yet.
One person evacuated, appeared to be unresponsive and covered in blood from a head wound.
Apparently a female protester who was inside the Capitol building.
Chest wound i just heard
The left are starting to get a taste of their own medicine. Seems some on the right were taking notes. But they missed the arson, assault, vandalism, murder, and theft parts that the far left Brown Shirts used.

Are you fucking nuts.
These MAGA assholes are in the senate chamber and the SS have their guns drawn and pointed at broken door.
The police are battling the protesters on the steps of the Capitol. The traitors are breaking in the windows of the building.
"Are you fucking nuts."
YES
I think you are understating things again Kavika...
So, it is ok for the leftist Brown Shirts to pull this shit on federal property; but not anyone on the far right?
The law only applies to some it seems; just depends on their political bent.

National Guard has already been called, ideally they will restore order by any means necessary. These are no longer protestors.
Maybe, all because of Donald Trump's insecurity and his supporters insane stupidity.
Your are insane.......!!!!
showing their anger at a process that is seeking to exclude them.
If they voted, then they were included in the process. They just can't handle the truth. Just like you seem not to not.

I totally agree Thrawn.
Yes.

Trumpism. Malignant Trumpism?
That's even better. And more accurate.

Delusional, absolutely fucking delusional. . .
Yes YOU did. Your diehard support of a piece of shit like Trump has brought us to this point. Congrats.
As I have said, there is no negotiating with Trump supporters, especially those like Ronin. We are not living in the same reality.
Yes HE did.
And that's the sad part of all of this. Even with the rioting and the storming of the Bastille..er...Capitol Building some will never see their king as the man he truly is.
You think I support Trump?
Seems not being able to stand the asshole isn't enough. Not voting for him the first time around wasn't enough. Unless I follow every irrational, illegal, immoral leftist whim I am a "Deplorable". I didn't vote for Trump this time either; I voted against Democrats at every level. It was the first time ever I voted straight Republican ticket.

Since I have been told voting 3rd party is a waste of a vote- and I put Trump in office by voting for Gary Johnson- it will be the lesser of two evils from now on. Right now the Democrats are the most evil thing around.
That is the reason I don't have many friends on the left anymore. TDS has driven them around the damn bend.
When the Trump administration did something I agreed with I said so. When they didn't I said so as well.
Same thing I did with Obama, both Bushes, and Clinton.
But continue to lump me in with the Deplorables- I always like to know where I stand with everyone when push comes to shove.
You are defending this so yes, that is where you stand.
Please acknowledge that any attempt at whataboutism is obtuse.
You've been carrying Trump's water for the last five years Ronin... You own this desecration of Constitutional norms, and American morals.
Yes.
Definitely!
Are you for real. So you don't care that an attempted coup is taking place all because trump LOST.
You think this is a coup? Do some research and find out what a real coup looks like.
I would suggest the one Obama backed in Ukraine would be a good place to start.
Bingo. Drama queens clutching pearls
Because things have never ever started small and then spiraled out of control.
Can you let me know when they riot and burn 700 buildings in DC please..
'Pearls before swine?
YOUR Senators and Congressmen were attacked by Trump supporters and needed to be evacuated wearing gas masks.
The stupid delay tactics by far right Senators and House reps was interrupted by these fruit cakes.
This is a NO WIN situation, a coup attempt by a sitting US POTUS.
The international cost of this is immeasurable.
XI & Putin are probably laughing their asses off.
We elected a defective moron in 2016 and are reaping the poisoned fruit of this term.
Now dozens, maybe hundreds are being arrested for property damage and at least one possible death
IN THE HEART OF OUR OWN CAPITOL BUILDINGS.
Good for you. At least we can agree once a year...
I thought about that as well. We are now an international joke. Just another aspect of Trump's "legacy", we can no longer call ourselves the leaders of shit or a bastion of democracy.
In Biden's speech just now, excellent, he said, among other things, 'the world is watching us'
Now tRump is being the victim, again, calling for peace. Fucking scumbag.
They aren't my anything. They are all different sides of the same piece of turd. Not one of them is worth a damn. Both sides want the exact same thing- to stay in power forever. They could give a rats ass about us.
Ask me if I care? Trump lost. I haven't disputed that once. These people are pissed. We have been shown countless times that it is OK to storm federal property and destroy it by the leftist Brown Shirts. This is mild by comparison so far.
No this is "mostly peaceful protestors angered by a system that they feel doesn't represent them." If you go by Democratic and media standards for BLM and Antifa.
Could give a fuck. You think the last five years of the Democrats, media, and the "Trump is not my President" crowd did us any favors on the international stage? Please. Trump was bad; the left was fucking worse.
On that we can agree on. You just happen to think they weren't laughing their asses off over the last 5 years with the shit the left was pulling. They have been laughing for a very long time; and they aren't going to stop. XI is very pleased China, err I mean Biden, won. Biden will be "Making China Great Again" in no time.
What do you mean we? I didn't vote for Trump in 2016. Once again you are ignoring the Democrats at every level that were far more toxic and disruptive than Trump.
A slow day at a BLM and Antifa protest.
Thought the left didn't give a shit about federal property, monuments, or anything else? Or is that since the right is doing the damage they suddenly care? Or is it selective federal property- since the left now thinks they own Washington DC?
My apology for making you waste your time and think.
We got a text from one of our former German neighbors this afternoon..... "We hope we can look up to America again soon."
[delted] These cocksuckers have invaded the U.S. Capitol building during a session of congress. They attacked police etc. to get there. This is a borderline coup.
"The left" never did ANYTHING like this in response to the results of a free and fair election. [deleted]
Where's Trump? Why isn't he tweeting ORDERS to his sycophants to get the fuck OUT of the Capitol of the United States? Why isn't he in front of cameras telling them to 'stand down'?
Every fucking one of the people that are arrested @ the Capitol should be prosecuted for sedition.
The mob is breaking out windows of the capitol building and swarming in through the opening.
Bring in the Marines
Saw an update that according to his aides he doesn't want to do more. Apparently they are getting so upset with him that they wish they could throw him to the mob. I know for a fact that Trump is actually loving this. He doesn't care about the property damage or that people have already started getting hurt. If anyone dies that will be a bonus to him. He is just mentally masterbating to the fact that he has the ability to incite a riot to begin with and that he has so many people slavishly devoted to him. This is an ego trip for Donald Trump.
He's Nero watching his city burn.
He's also a fucking psychopath
He's probably jerking off to this now in his bunker.
The lady who got shot died, Trump just had the biggest orgasm of his life.
NYT reporting Trump refusing to act to stop rioting
Time right now for the 25th amendment.
Trump made a speech to these people this morning egging them on.
Yep, IMO he has abdicated his role as President of the United States. He needs to be arrested and charged with, at the very least, inciting a riot.
Following in the great steps of Democratic politicians everywhere.
These guys were not messing around:
Trump's American carnage, live on TV.
At least on the 20th we will have a PotUS who can behave in a presidential manner. An individual who is trying to do what is best for the nation (per his viewpoint) rather than what is best for himself.
This also might be a good time to give some thought on security of the Capitol. I am amazed that its security was so easily bypassed today.
I personally think the 25th needs to be invoked. Not only is this a direct result of the "POTUS" lying and fanning of the flames for months, he actively encouraged it in person this very morning. Since this all started he has been almost entirely silent, only saying or doing anything because his aides have more or less begged him. According to inside sources he himself had no intention of trying to put a stop to any of this. That is dereliction of duty in the extreme.
I don't know how any lawmakers or government employees can look at him with anything resembling respect after he failed to protect them personally but also the institutions they stand for and federal property. He not only failed to do this, he actively encouraged this very thing and put them in danger. This is bordering on treason IMO.
Agreed. The fact that the U.S. Capitol building was so easily overrun with the entirety of congress inside when everyone KNEW exactly this was a possibility? What the fuck?
Could be an inside job or with capitol police co-operation. The FBI should investigate.
Additionally, Trump has now tweeted out his support for the riot today. He was always unfit, but now he is actively supporting violence against his own government.
I was really worried about Inauguration Day. I expected protests today, but I really thought there would be an attempt on Biden's life then.
This is so much worse than I expected, and I expected it to be bad.
