President Biden and US politics catchall

[fishfoodie]

this is what happens when you fail to remove an obviously unfit person from office.

people will die today; & it's all down to one tweeting cunt.

[Uncle fester]

Trump has done his level best to start a Civil War

I think he has.

I think he's trying to stoke it up without being too obvious about it.

True. He's been good usual subtle self on this.

[Uncle fester]

The state of some of them.

[Uncle fester]

Great to see the police trying to de-escalate the situation peacefully. Can't have any white folks getting shot while they peacefully storm government buildings

[Margin__Walker]

Think this would have gone a little differently with BLM protesters.

[GogLais]

The whole country deserves all this, fucking idiots

So what shall we start learning - Mandarin or Russian?

[fishfoodie]

They should vote to impeach the cunt now.

[Rinkals]

Currently, there don't appear to be any guns.

Being America, though, that may change...

[Rinkals]

Certainly, the notion that Trump has made America Great Again, has been firmly put to bed.

DC cops have been arresting cunts on weapons charges all day; & now the Mayor has declared a 6PM curfew.

[PCPhil]

Absolute sh1t show on the live tv feeds.

[Glaston]

They should have hired the Hong Kong Police

[Sandstorm]

Herd all the protestors down the road and into Trump’s private residence at the White House. He can pose for selfies with all his dickhead supporters.

[tc27]

Its just a few hundred loonies and a limp wristed police response so far but a horrible moment in US public life.

I suspect he'll be in the basement...

[Margin__Walker]

There needs to be serious consequences for Trump's enablers.

You don't get to this overnight. It takes years of people letting shit fly because he's been useful for them.

The Fox commentators are acting like this is nothing tp do with them & the bile & lies they've been spouting since the fucking network was created

[JM2K6]

The state of some of them.

How the fuck does this happen?

[Saint]

Currently, there don't appear to be any guns.

Apparently an armed standoff outside Congress

[Margin__Walker]

Wouldn't have like to be this cop.

Inside Congress; outside the chanber

& some prick taking selfies sitting in the Senate leaders chair

[Jockaline]

Doesn't seem like that many people, surely the police can get control rather than let a few loons stop a critical democratic process and bring such shame to their country.

Pence must be worried he's got a target on his back now, not just today but for the rest of his life. A target that the man he's supported for four years put there.

Donald needs to be removed from office asap, Wouldn't put it past him to go even more crazy.

[I like neeps]

The state of some of them.

How the fuck does this happen?

FBI and CIA must've known there was something planned. Thousands of people so must've been some serious organisation involved.

The Mayor & Pelosi asked for the DC National Guard to be activated for today; but there's no sign of them why ???

Did the DoD deny the request ????

Yep.

Where's Gerrard Butler when you need him?

[Lobby]

The defense department, which is currently led by acting secretary Christopher Miller, who was appointed in November by Trump, is refusing to call out the National Guard to support the Capitol police, even though it is clear they need help.

It was approved, but only 340 guardsmen in total and apparently only 114 on duty at any point in time. Pointless

then it's time to immediately invoke the 25th Amendment & remove him from power; & stop fucking pandering to this dictator

[Saint]

Failed state

[Hal Jordan]

Same thing happening in the Kansas senate building, too.

The GOP needs to fry for giving this monumental cunt the time of day, and then pandering to the racist, shithead, fucking pieces of human detritus that form the bastard's base.

The GOP are so complicit they have no power over this.

[fishfoodie]

Confirmed that someone has been shot; & brought to hospital.

[TB63]

Best form of entertainment I've had in months!

Sat here laughing, watching the conflicting opinions.

That country is fucked to hell and back on a handcart, pushed by the orange shitgibbon. .

[salanya]

Bloodshed is only going to provide ammunition for more violence, and provide excuses for those to seek advantage out of the situation.

But how can a situation like this develop? They've known for days there would be protests, and we've known for months how Trump has been enflaming the situation. So with hundreds/thousands of protestors outside, and with an important vote happening in Congress, how come there is not more protection on site?

Madness. Populist, non-sensical madness.

[JPNZ]

That Trump speech was just insane, utter encouragement for violence and upheaval.

[TB63]

[fishfoodie]

Whatever about British exceptionalism; it's in ha'penny place compared to American exceptionalism; all the people on the US TV Stations are talking like this is a surprise; & everyone else who occasionally has been exposed to News, from the rest of the world, has seen this coming for the last 4 years.

[salanya]

Apparently Trump is watching it all in the West Wing, and refusing to order the protestors to leave, even when his aides are encouraging him to.

How was a cretin like that ever allowed to be in charge of a remote control, never mind a country?!

[Lobby]

the The Democratic governor of Virginia, Ralph Northam, has said he is sending 200 National Guard troops and state troopers to DC to respond to the violent situation at the Capitol.

Pence also appears to have found his balls, and having earlier refused to do his master’s bidding and stop Biden’s election, he has now called for the protestors to be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
