President Trump and US politics catchall

[fishfoodie]

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.

30,000 protestors & they send 200 weekend warriors .... wonderful

[fishfoodie]

If Cruz & the other shit stains persist with their objections to the legitimate votes of the States, they should be impeached too; & possibly charged with sedition.

[TB63]

Fucking unbelievable!

Seriously, wtf is going on in that fucked up country, ie, the greatest nation on earth!...

If they are flying warthogs that should do it

If he doesn't concede by tomorrow & pledge to a peaceful change of power; both sides should immediately remove him.

Every day it gets worse.

I'm not trawling through 76 pages to see if this has already been mentioned, but @gathara is worth a look on Twitter for a laugh. He's a Kenyan journo who's been tweeting about the US omnishambles using the same type of language that our media would use if they were covering a coup in a banana republic:

Poor dress sense: nature or nurture?

Dunno mate, but it’s a fast crumbling empire so we had better start looking around

Decent statement by Biden

It was. I was kind of heart in mouth hoping he wasn’t going to topple over dead the whole way through though

Trump responds to Bidens appeal to make a statement by posting a 1 minute video on twitter of which 50 seconds is complaining about the rigged election

[fishfoodie]

the cowardly shit releases a twitter video & says nothing useful

Even by Trump's standards that's lame

She will be pronounced dead. Not often someone in a pre-hospital traumatic arrest survives.

CNN calling it what it is - insurrection, attempted coup.

They will restart the session today if there's any way they can, will Ted Cruz and the other loonies keep objecting?

GOP just referred to as a nihilistic death cult on CNN

and there were significant Republicans calling the lack of a proper statement from the WH a, 'cowardice'; but that was when they were cowering under their desks.

Yeah, very interesting to see what Cruz and his band of cunts do now. They have a way out now - we don’t want any more violence-, you would expect them to take it...

Pence has unfollowed Trump onTwitter and changed the background on his own account to a picture of Biden and Harris.

I mean, the cunt has been enabling Trump for 4 years but that’s quite a statement

Cori Bush, a Democrat congresswoman from Missouri, has said she will introduce a resolution calling for the expulsion of Republican members who have “incited this domestic terror attack through their attempts to overturn the election.” and Ilhan Omar, the Democrat congresswoman from Minnesota, is drawing up articles of impeachment for Trump:

“Donald J. Trump should be impeached by the House of Representatives & removed from office by the United States Senate. We can’t allow him to remain in office, it’s a matter of preserving our Republic and we need to fulfill our oath.”

Force the pricks to either vote for, or against the Democracy that they swore an oath only days ago to uphold.

[Edit] I hope this ends in everyone in the DNC's mind; any thoughts that this scum should be allowed to leave without facing conequences

To be fair to Mitch McConnell, he too has decided to defend the constitution rather than Trump. He tore Cruz and his band of cunts a new one before the session was interrupted:

"But my colleagues, nothing before us proves illegality anywhere near the massive scale — the massive scale — that would have tipped the entire election. Nor can public doubt alone justify a radical break, when the doubt itself was incited without any evidence. The constitution gives us here in Congress a limited role. We cannot simply declare ourselves a national board of elections on steroids.

The voters, the courts and the states have all spoken. They’ve all spoken. If we overrule them, it would damage our republic forever.

This election actually was not unusually close. Just in recent history, 1976, 2000, and 2004 were all closer than this one. The electoral college margin is almost identical to what it was in 2016. If this election were overturned by mere allegations from the losing side, our democracy would enter a death spiral. We’d never see the whole nation accept an election again. Every four years would be a scramble for power at any cost. The electoral college, which most of us on this side have been defending for years, would cease to exist, leaving many of our states with no real say at all in choosing a president. The effects would go even beyond the elections themselves."

Fuck McConnell and Pence. They're finding out just what (Godwin alert!) the industrialists who aligned with Hitler to keep the Communists out of their factories found out. He may be of use to you for a while, but at some point you realise you hitched your wagon to a lunatic and he'll burn you and the country in a second if you get in his way.
