It's proof that inbreeding is a bad idea.

While the rest of the world is shaking their heads in alarm, while some will be laughing their heads off.

and now the coup continues. Still they are missing some military behind them to succeed, not to mention public support in Washington DC.

while some will be laughing their heads off.

I know Putin is

[Vertigo 7]

Who is surprised that Trump encouraged his maga minions to storm the capitol and said "we're gonna march" blah blah blah, then retreated to his bunker?

[notaterran]

Interesting times. As someone mentioned earlier in this thread, the day that Biden becomes president the Republicans will suffer a collective case of amnesia. They'll pretend that Trump never existed.

Putin must be celebrating.

I maybe repeating myself, but it's a dumbest coup ever.

Rioters have been cleared from the Senate
From CNN's Ted Barrett, Ali Zaslav and Manu Raju

The Senate floor has been cleared of rioters, and an officer told CNN that they have successfully squeezed them away from the Senate wing of the building and towards the Rotunda, and they are removing them out the East and West doors of the Capitol.

Things appear to be calm on the Senate side.

It's uncertain what the situation is in the House.

As long as we vote them out, it doesnt matter if they forget. We'll remember.

Putin must be celebrating.

He is for sure. He'd prefer Trump to win, but aiding anti government forces in US has a lot of value.

It was reported earlier that a fire was set in the house chamber, but I haven't seen anything else about that.

[notaterran]

An armed standoff was taking place at the House front door as of 3 p.m. ET, and police officers had their guns drawn at someone who is trying to breach it. A Trump supporter was also pictured standing at the Senate dais.

Was that "someone" White? That may be an explanation as to why the police didn't kill him.

Edit: Did I just see a protester carrying a Confederate flag? That would be so fitting for Trump sympathizers.

Someone pressured Trump to activate them :

The entire DC National Guard has been activated by the Department of Defense following a pro-Trump mob breaching the United States Capitol.

In other news, Ossoff has been declared winner.

Back to your insurrection in progress.

[chew-ie]

Holy moly - how embarassing At least they didn't went in guns blazing.

[fiksal]

At least two suspected pipe bombs have been rendered safe by law enforcement — one at a building that houses Republican National Committee offices and one in the US Capitol complex, a federal law enforcement official tells CNN

The official said these were real explosive devices and they were blown up to be rendered safe.

Looks like the police are starting to clear the capitol grounds.

[Vertigo 7]

Looks like they're getting ready to resume proceedings.

It also sounds like there's a call now to invoke the 25'th amendment to remove Trump.

Do you think so? Trump's got more loyalists in his cabinet than before

I dunno if it'll happen, but dude's gone off the deep end and maybe for their own sanity they should get rid of him to ride out these last 13 days and change.

I wonder what the response would have been had the protestors been black?

you don't have to wonder. We've already seen it.

So Trump calls a rally. Repeats lies that election is stolen. Says he will go with supporters to the capitol building. Tells his vice president to prevent the electoral college from confirming the election. His supporters follow his orders and break into the government building , rioting, TAKING THINGS, going through drawers, and one of his imbecile drones even gets shot, and he then repeats that the election is stolen.

Hey, USers.... ? We're waiting.... anyone doing anything or just watching the news? Maybe make some phone calls or something?

"18 U.S.C. § 2384. According to the statutory definition of sedition, it is a crime for two or more people within the jurisdiction of the United States: • To conspire to overthrow or destroy by force the government of the United States or to level war against them; • To oppose by force the authority of the United States government; to prevent, hinder, or delay by force the execution of any law of the United States; or • To take, seize, or possess by force any property of the United States contrary to the authority thereof."

? Explain please. End this.


PS: Remember that I said a while ago that if Pence takes over this might go in a very different direction (pardons Trump, then we'll have 'Trump Party' 2024).

Oh, PS#2: He and his supporters are not going to stop shocking us.

Handy thread of all the world leaders who've found it necessary to call for US election results to be respected. What a world.
