I wonder will any of them manage to keep the Trump base on their side.

They created the monster, and then it turned on them.

Too bad.

there was no dangerous crush at the barriers. they opened them anyway and yelled "go, go" to the protestors. certainly sounds collusive to me.

There was no crush, the cops didn't move back to stop a panic. Footage is widely available of cops opening the barriers and encouraging them to move in.

Police are supposed to be neutral, to uphold the law and keep the peace. To Protect and Serve as the yanks love.

Over the years there have been many protests at Capitol Hill. In every other case the police have removed people with force, including the religious peaceful protesters and even a group of literally disabled people who were peacefully protesting during the healthcare debate.

Meanwhile a group of cops willingly allowed a large amount of Trumps supporters in, with full knowledge that these guys were proudly armed and included a large number of -literal- neo nazi's.

I'm not saying there was a Hillsborough type situation going on. But there was an extremely tense one building up and rather than some sort of large "collusion" of groups, I think the forces involved just opted to defuse the situation instead of letting it get further out of control. They probably figured, correctly, that these numpties hadn't thought things through and it was a better option let them on through than have bullets flying.

In that respect, "law and order" was better served doing that, than turning things into a massacre. As things stand, there are 5 people dead. If they had been more heavy handed, god knows what the death toll would have been and that wouldn't have looked better, I assure you.

Lin Wood has been censored on Parler too.

He posted this during the siege:

“They let them in.

Get the firing squads ready. Pence goes FIRST”

That's not the first time he's called for Pence to be shot

No I'm afraid not I don't buy it.


There was vital law makers inside that building that these lads were there to protect. They didn't even bother keeping the cordon outside the building grounds clear and then fire exits were opened. This was from start to finish a **** show and I'd have to question loyalties of senior leadership. Genuinely I think there's some serious Criminal stuff that's needs investigating. I think orders were made.

Many of these rioters carried weapons and have been pictures with cable tie hang cuffs hanging off bullet proof vests.

They came prepped for some serious action.

Well fuuuuu'uuuuuck me, the FBI just raided Republican offices! :eek:

https://amp.tennessean.com/amp/6593526002

Federal agents descended on multiple Tennessee Republican House members' homes and state offices on Friday, collecting evidence while executing search warrants.

At least 10 agents from the FBI entered the Cordell Hull legislative office building just before 8 a.m., fanning out to multiple offices carrying empty boxes with them.

The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Middle District of Tennessee confirmed the FBI visited the homes of former House Speaker Glen Casada, R-Franklin; Rep. Robin Smith, R-Hixson; Rep. Todd Warner, R-Chapel Hill; and former Casada aide Cade Cothren.

Biden's press conference this evening seems to indicate he won't be offering up pardons. He said the Justice Department will handle prosecutions and investigations, he will not intervene.

I hope the Capitol police, FBi, ATF, Homeland Security, Secret Service, Marine Corps, CIA, NSA, Washington City's Police Dept, Sheriffs, deputies, take the time to check for explosives under the Inaugural Dais and stands. Just hope they do a better job of securing the place than Jan 6th. Lol

And where does any of that suggest a direct overrun of the Capitol building?

Right there in the post I gave you, don't be so disingenuous.

Every member of the Senate and a lot (all?) from the house were in on that day, as we knew they would be months in advance because of finalising the election.

Now if close to every member of government are in the Capitol building, and people are organizing a huge gathering a mile down the street to overthrow said government, where would you expect them to go... Fed Ex Field? Or maybe the Capitol building where they knew that government was?

And yet here you are trying to claim that maybe the police, the national guard, nor the intelligence services would be privvy to this despite it being all over social media and posters in this thread even saying as much.

Pull the other one or get back under the bridge.

Idiots downplaying what happened.

They do know they are planning the same for the 20th?

Trump *will* be forced to do whatever is necessary to stop this happening again, whether it is resign or be removed. That latest video is the smallest first step, but he will be forced to do much more. It will be humiliating for him.

He's going to push back. You can see those little struggles, where he insists he was robbed is an example while asking for calm.

The next 2 weeks are going to be ****ing awful for him, and I love to see it.

I can't see this going ahead. Trump is finished now and the events of the other night sealed the deal. Only the most stupid of his fan base would look at that nonsense on Wednesday and think he's still worth listening to. I'd like to think that most Republicans now believe that they really fucked up and withdraw support. But it's too little too late, as has been said numerous times.

But it has been a real lesson. The Republicans used Trump as a useful idiot to gain power. A man who's only interest was the adulation he received from a crowd...any crowd. He didn't care. Which led directly to to idiot Q-Anon types and dangerous elements like Neo Nazis getting a voice, that should be denied to them completely.

Trump AND the Republicans were reckless in the extreme and not only has it lost them the Presidency (to a Democratic candidate that would have lost any other year), they've lost everything else as well. They gambled for power only and not the good of the country and fully deserve to be in the position that they find themselves now. A position they're trying to crawl back from to save as much face as they can.

Muahahaha

Speaking of which the Trump Casino in Atlantic City is due for demolition next month and city authorities are holding an auction for who gets to press the button, bids of $1m+ are invited and the proceeds are going to charity

A casino formerly owned by Donald Trump is set to be demolished, and you can push the button for the right price. The Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City went bankrupt and shut in 2014. Now, the city is auctioning off the chance to dynamite it for charity.

The property was one of three Trump-branded casinos that once formed the centrepiece of the world-famous resort city nicknamed "America's playground".
But as revenues plummeted, Mr Trump cut his losses and his ties with the city.

City officials have called several times for the idle building to be torn down after chunks of the crumbling landmark repeatedly broke off and fell onto surrounding streets. A bidding process that began on Thursday will determine who gets the right to count down and hit the button that will raze the 39-floor casino.

Proceeds from the auction will fund the local chapter of the Boys & Girls Club of America, a youth development organisation.

"I want to raise at least a million dollars and I think we can accomplish that," said Atlantic City Mayor Marty Small Sr, in a press conference. The mayor said his office has already been "bombarded" with phone calls about the auction, from Arkansas to Canada.

As if a few thousand protestors storming the capital on a single day (and remember most claim to have been peaceful protestors) was going to overthrow the US government. If you want to think that "overthrow the government" means to storm the Capitol and that that is all it entails then you are entitled to that delusion

Interestingly over the last 2 days my YouTube account has been recommended several videos from right-wing lunatics that I've never come across before. Looks like "Big Tech" still haven't quiet figured out their algorithms yet. :rolleyes:

This **** isn't over yet. And even metrics like viewcount won't be reliable indicators of how many clowns are being converted, new eyes are important.

As to the FBI raiding the GOP offices, pretty much any politician who has a SuperPAC associated with them could easily be put behind bars. For 2008 Colbert did a magnificent job showing the absurdities of showing the nonsense of not being allowed to "co-ordinate" etc. At the end of the day almost everything in political fundraising can be classed as illegal, it's just a matter of how far the authorities at the time feel like moving the needle.

We all know the cops love trump too, but it's crazy how they allowed them to storm the building.
