Zapp Branniglenn Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Yeah, I would have said this was a "call the national guard" situation, but that they probably wouldn't given the obvious allegiance of the protestors. I want to meme about the situation, but jokes inevitably get less funny when a body count gets declared. Inauguration Day is going to need excessive security. I know that event is not open to the public, but y'know, the capitol building is also not open to the public. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Etrurian emperor Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 So some people might have accused others of being dramatic when they said Trump might try to pull a coup or overthrow democracy. Are they still dramatic now Trump send an angry mob to successfully storm congress? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rukina Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 The standoff at the door was confirmed. Now there’s a picture of a protester sitting at the head seat on the senate floor. =_= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoblongoo Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Obligatory reminder that this was the police response when the MAGAs charged a barricade and bullrushed their ways into the halls of Congress. And this was the police response when BLM protestors came within--like a city block of maybe possibly doing that: Ladies and Gentleman: White Privilege.

Shrimpica Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 (edited) Police being nice to alt-right peeps, what a surprise! Happens in every fucking country in the world, and they wonder why we distrust them so much. Our Police ain't as bad as the Murica's, but they also have their tendecies....

Shoblongoo Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 (edited) Vibe I'm getting going through the response of Republican lawmakers stuck in the middle of this is that after today, there's going to be ALOT less opposition to bringing criminal charges against Trump once hes out of office than there would have been before Edited January 6, 2021 by Shoblongoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix Wright Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 (edited) is there a realistic way to change how the pres. pardon works? conspiracy: did trump decline national guard? did he instruct to decline national guard?

eclipse Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 When in doubt, my local newspaper's comment section never fails to disappoint me. Especially with its lack of moderation. Someone in there calls the people outside the capital buildings "true patriots". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sooks Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 This is ridiculous. If they’re trying to make themselves look just they’re failing. Horribly. At least Trump & Ivanka have the sense to tweet out to be peaceful. I’ve heard people saying that they encouraged this though, I don’t know about all that.

When the federal government fails in a coordinated response and the person at the top is even outright contradicting what good sense would say, it falls to the states -the responsible states- to clean up the nuclear disaster.

Oh don’t get me wrong, I don’t think it will physically help but that’s not the point. It was more the expression of the thought, but I won’t pretend like I know that much about the build up to this.

Mark, one Trump adviser told me that people — even those close to him — are certain the president wanted this and is enjoying it. ask yourself, if there were violence occurring in your state capitol and you're head of state, would you simply respond with, "stop," via twitter?
