What a coward. Take the responsibility of ordering them to March on the Capitol and then take the punishment for it.

Everyone from Dana Loesch to Alex Jones to Tucker Carlson - to Jon Voight of all people - stirred these people with their own words to rise up;, the belligerent wing of American conservativism stands equally guilty as much as Trump. Maybe more so cos they knew who they were speaking to. Loesch and her ilk openly talked of armed resistance and revolt against the perceived liberal takeover. Here's what happens, terrorists and traitors to America. But they're white so of course, carry on sir. Oh but it's BLM that's dangerous.

Don't leave out the nefarious social media organisations writing actual code to propagate the nonsense.. filling voids with misinformation to people that wouldn't have found it otherwise.

Any Trump defenders brave enough to post here this evening? I doubt it.

You're not familiar with Donald J Trump are you?

That poor cop must have been terrified:(

Hope he got out alright, just one cop against a hoard of pig ignorant redneck gob****es.

This is Trumps legacy, I hope hes thrown under the bus for this.

If theres one bright spot in all of this its Georgia turning blue and breaking McConnells Stranglehold on the senate.

The majority of them haven't been seen since about the 6th of November.

He's not, it's a token tweet not even asking them to leave, the people he not too long ago encouraged to do this.

This is the man who had peaceful protestors in DC tear gassed so he could cross the street for a photo-op. The optics of this is going to detonate the conversation over policing and racial politics for years.

Surely all they need is to surround Capitol Hill with 5G masts sprayed with the Pzizer Covid vaccine to keep those losers out!!!

One such person on the other thread somehow managed to blame BLM and antifa for provoking this

His press secretary has just tweeted that Trump has ordered national guard and local police forces to go to the capitol to support the DC police.

Its going to be dark in DC in about 90mins. This will get extra messy with that additional confusion.

National Guard on the way according to the White House Press Secretary.

Trump to the rescue will be his narrative. :rolleyes:

Of course it will. Apparently the Governor called for the National Guard earlier and it was shot down (pun intended) by the department of defence.

This is an absolute ****ing disgrace. What a bunch of cretins.

This is terrorism

Full of ****e as usual, requests were made by 2 agencies and initially refused.

Trump just has to go after this. So what if there's only another two weeks or so of his term left, he just cannot remain as president for another day.
Can he be impeached or removed quickly? I think a few republicans might grow spines and oppose him after today's events.

The image of several officers pointing their pistols towards the door behind the senate chair seat with what looks like Cruz seated and keeping his head down behind the cop to the right of the door speaks volumes.

Am I wrong in thinking the policing today has been incredible weak and lax?

What if this was a BLM or democrat March? Would they be able to get into the senate building with very little hassle?

If there were that many of them, probably.

It's worth noting that the Mayor of DC activated the National Guard yesterday in preparation for trouble today. To do so, he needed Trump's permission as the only Federal Guard.

It's only a matter of time before they get there from wherever they were bring staged.

It is not going to end well for many of the protestors, I think.

This is domestic terrorism surely?

If these were Dems or BLM the cops would be out of ammo already

Why are the massive groups of heavily armed Antifa not getting involved?

It's almost like Trump made all that Antifa stuff up

I doubt you'd find anyone who says it isn't.

I suspect though twitter will be full of "hot takes" from people who probably think they are the first to think that though.:pac:

Zuckerberg is probably wondering how he can exploit it and dreaming of deals to strike.

Trump himself uses Twitter, but these people and ideas are on Facebook...

Things are getting serious. Mike Pence just unfollowed Trump on Twitter.

Maybe the cabinet will remove Trump.

Is there anyway Biden can just be sworn in tonight after being certified and have him take the White House tomorrow from this treasonous toad?

Good old Ivanka thinks they are "patriots" apparently.

Watched abc news and they are confirming that a pipe bomb was found at the RNC in DC. Also, I’m seeing a GOP congressman from Nebraska on CSPAN condemning the violence and publicity thanking Mike pence the Vice President. Some of the pictures on Twitter are nuts.
