Trump

[Beorning]

This is an absolute disgrace and a disaster. People breaking into the Capital and actually breaching one of the Chambers (at least). A rioter sitting at the main seat in that chamber... Holy crap.

BTW. I checked Trump's Twitter. There are many comments by people condeming this insanity... but also some saying that what is happening is great, "I wish was there" kind of stuff. Wow.

Even more ridiculously, there are some people claiming that it was not Trump's supporters who broke into Capitol... it was that evil Antifa and their sneaky infiltrators pretending to be "patriots" to give real "patriots" bad name.

Antifa. Obviously.

Ilhan Omar states that she is drawing up Articles of Impeachment.

Yep. Definitely Antifa. With all the Trump flags and MAGA hats and the fact that Trump supporters have been saying for weeks now that they were gonna pull some shit today. But definitely Antifa. /s

CNN is talking about the video surveillance that will be used in the future to identify those who will need to be arrested and charged in the future and that the protestors are not intelligent enough to realize they will need to account for their actions.  They were actually called mobsters.

Watching in Britain, I have just seen one, unmasked, waving to the camera!

Donny-boys statement was a miserable excuse for anything.

It was late and negligent and did nothign to resolve the issue.

He should be held accountable, he's incited treason on every level. The only appropriate response is to put him down in the history books as the sole president to charged with sedition against the very office and state.

Regarding the post I quoted.

I interpreted it as a call for justice duly sought, and not a lynching. It must absolutely be treated with the utmost gravity, because this is our democracy - and everything it upholds - we are talking about.

This is unequivocally an insurrection. Republicans' terms, not mine. Not even Vice President Pence is mincing his words on this. Only Trump.

How do you make him look weak while holding him accountable and not make him look like a martyr?

Above and beyond what RedPhoenix said:

A trial. It did exactly that to Harvey Weinstein.

...it's largely about not being afraid.

To stand up, to do the right thing when the time demands it of you. And encourage others to do so.

Antifa is sneaky!!! They are trying to smear Trump and his wholesome supporters, you see. That's why they are dressed like that. Simple!

Thanks Veks, hopefully the Blues, Biden and the incoming DoJ will agree with us all here.

This is not condoning violence but here is more on the woman shot.

Very NSFW

Looks like she was trying to climb into a place that was guarded
She got shot
The people around her panicked
Unsure of her condition

well, she's a criminal now, so hopefully she survives, but there's not a lot left for her to live for.

United people calling for an end to police brutality are more of a threat to the police state than white supremacists storming the capital will ever be.

I want to echo this. While it boils my blood to contrast this mob attack with the brutal dispersal of protestors in Lafayette Square back in June, I don't want to legitimize those tactics under any circumstances. If anything, if this mob can be dispersed without that kind of violence, it just gives further reason never to deploy those tactics again.

The congress is safe, the ballots are secure, it's up to McConnel to call them back into session.

For future textbooks

If I remember correctly, there are security protocols that need to sweep through the building to ensure that there are no more security risks left behind as well as bugs and the like. I'm not sure, but the protocol is supposed to last 24 hours or something?

Either way, it appears that Congress can reconvene at a separate location to continue their work.

On a separate note, they're calling the people that storm the Capitol building with a Confederate flag patriots.

by "the congress" I meant the people, the elected officials, according to reports they have all been moved to a safe location and are by best reports in good condition.

I don't think they'll be doing any work in the Capitol Building or a while.

It's good news to hear the Congress is safe, and a sweep is being made of the building now.

But, who is they? Thats honestly not specific enough. OAN, Newsmax, FOX? Either way history won't be kind about this.

Ivanka tweeted, calling them patriots, but deleted it quickly after.

Rioters are attacking reporters now.

Does anyone know exactly where that incident took place? Was it at the door to the senate chamber?

I am confused. Was she a protester or a senate employee? The reason I ask is that behind her a man can be seen moving forwards carrying an assault rifle. Which side is he on? Surely he is a member of the security team? If he's with the protesters I am truly shocked.

Remember when the media and certain liberals thought that Ivanka Trump was "the good one"?

She was an insurectionist, you can tell by the Trump 2020 flag she's wearing as a cape.

[TheHangedOne]

... I ask is that behind her a man can be seen moving forwards carrying an assault rifle. Which side is he on?

While it's hard to tell from the video, the way I've been following this, the insurrectionists are on one side, and the senate, on the other. That guy with the assault rifle is not security, he is one of the armed protestors.

If your news source seeks to keep their standards under wraps (as, for example, CNN does, or Fox News, or almost every Youtube "journalist"), it should not be trusted as a primary source. A secondary one, sure, if they refer back to the trusted source they got their news from.

Yeah I guess that is a thing, I will try to keep that in mind for future reading.

We've spent the past year listening to the news call white supremacists who threaten to drag the government through the streets for making them wear masks patriots, why would this go any different.
