DC Unrest Megathread

[Rules for me, but not for thee]

Trump Terrorists are being added to the no-fly list:

What a crybaby. Hope he likes long drives!

Sickening.  Quit crying, you pussy.  As we used to say, "If you can't do the time, don't do the crime".

At first I was wondering what that high-pitched squeaky buzzing sound was, and then I realized it was the sound of the world's tiniest violin playing a soundtrack.

There is a video circulating on Parler that is calling for more trouble on the 20th.

[Calthrina950]

From his podcast episode yesterday, Dan Crenshaw calls out Trump, Giuliani, etc. pretty brutally.

"There is nothing to be proud of. There is no patriotism to be had by what happened...Don't call yourself a patriot by what happened. You got someone killed. You accomplished nothing."

"...but none of them ("good" Republicans) were amping up January 6th. None of them were telling people to come and fight, and stand, and 'This is your revolution!...people I just mentioned (Congressmen with military experience who protected the Capitol during the coup) actually know what a fight looks like. The people who did hype everybody up, and you know who you are, and all of you know who they are, they were nowhere to be found. These cowards - who've never been in a fight themselves, who created one and then ran."

Slight on-the-fence-ism as is Crenshaw's signature trait, but I'm really impressed that he's willing to risk his 2024 primary odds this way. I saw him as one who would defend the events that happened.

I wouldn't be surprised if Crenshaw gets Ted Cruz's Senate seat after this.

Michael Moore did an excellent livestream yesterday warning about further events with armed Trump supporters on inauguration week in DC and all 50 state capitals.

People want to hate him, but he's been right about things more often than not.

I respect him. I obviously disagree with him on politics and I think his movies distort the truth, but he understands America better than just about anyone in the media or politics, left or right.

Lmao the rental car companies should ban them too.

Wait til he finds out there's a no-drive list too.  Start walking.

It’s amazing that they genuinely seemed to think there would be no consequences.


Then again

..when you catch somebody in a fraud your allowed to go by very different rules

From Trump’s call to arms.

So maybe not surprising?

This is no joke.  I don't agree with Moore, but I respect his information (remember he predicted the blue collar vote in Michigan and other Midwestern states going to Trump in 2016).  These marches are planned a few days before the inauguration (I've seen the poster but I won't post it here).  This should be top priority for ALL law enforcement as it could get out of hand!

They believe they did nothing wrong.

[It’s so Joever]

Am I the only one who thinks Trump can recover from this by 2024?
Or am I just a doomer?

Stick a fork in him.

There's a real chance he's barred from running for office. If not, he'll be in a world of legal jeopardy between this and all his tax/business dealings.

[Hammy]

At this point, yes.

[Inmate Trump]

I have no question he could win a Republican primary again.

He could win another primary tomorrow.

[Horus]

I have no question he could win a Republican primary again.

He could win another primary tomorrow.

And he would go on to lose by at least the 413 nut map.

Two days ago I would agree with you. But already we are seeing confederates and fellow travelers coming out of the woodwork to both sides and white wash, calls for letting the perpetrators go in the name of unity,  and the Republican caucus is seemingly back to brow furrow and promises that they will do something next time we promise. Or outright witch hunt accusations. (General reminder, witch hunts are bad because there aren't witches)

I feel like the GOP is already working on memory holing this one.

[Ferguson97]

Assuming he's not barred from running for office, he's still the heavy favorite for the Republican nomination.

However, he is DOA for the general election. Harris wins with the 413 map.

This, anyone with half a brain has changed their perspective from this week's events. Look at that Jeanine Pirro vid, even she's flipping on him.  Only the diehards are left.

At best if he can even run (i.e. no impeachment conviction/ban) in 2024, he'll be a fringe candidate that only wins a few states on a independent ticket.  That's if the states even allow him on the ticket.

Yes. I wonder if his endorsement will still be sought after, or would instead be toxic.
If he is in dire straits financially by then, he may be paid off not to participate in the primary.

Thank God. And I don't believe that is a hyperbolic statement whatsoever. Mass prosecution's of these people who almost universally escaped arrest on that day is a crucial part of History establishing the wrongness of this traitorous violent insurrection.

Now if they'll just go after the ringleader....

They have a very good defense. They were instructed to do so by the President of the United States. They believed they were doing the right thing.

The president told me to do it is not a legal defense to sedition. At all.

[Badger]

EXTREMELY GRAPHIC video of Trump supporters choking an officer and attempting to tear his arm off with a door is starting to circulate.

Purely horrifying.

I’m opposed to police brutality, but they should’ve opened fire into the crowd at this point. In Wisconsin, the legal standard for lethal force is “to prevent imminent death or great bodily harm” and I’m sure this would qualify as great bodily harm.

This. Hard to find anything remotely close to this life and limb endangering committed by even the antifa mob this summer, let alone BLM marchers. At least anything that didn't result in a hardcore and Justified response of batons and tear gas.
