DC Unrest Megathread

This was the closest thing we’ve ever seen to a Beer Hall Putsch or Mussolini March on Rome. If Trump had actually led the mob to the Capitol it would be effectively indistinguishable.

That’s pretty terrifying.

I wish he had. The visual would have been amazing and it would've made this even more beyond the pale. Sadly he didn't have the balls and chose to hide behind his neckbeard followers, as usual.

I changed to a red avatar. Time to close ranks and stand as one.

YES!

Do you really think Trump could have climbed the Capitol steps?

CNN just released footage of the Capitol shooting and it is not looking good for the security guard in terms of criminal charges.

They better follow through.

Loeffler also gives up!

[Inmate Trump]

Have we ever had an acting President before?

[KaiserDave]

AHAHAHHAHAHAHA Loeffler is no longer objecting.

AHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA

You can't make this up

What a loser

Now W Bush looks nice.

Say the names, W. Say the names. And yes that's names plural, as in not just Trump

Loeffler is withdrawing her challenge to GA electors.

And what happened then? Well, in DC they say that the Barbie’s small heart grew three sizes that day. And then the true meaning of Christmas came though, and the Barbie found the strength of ten Barbies plus two!

[Joe Biden 2024]

Have we ever had an acting President before?

H.W. and Cheney both served as acting President, but under Section 3, not Section 4.

Removed for violating Twitter rules. Anyone have a summary?

Paraphrasing, he said that this is what happens when you steal his election.

I'm completely embarrassed.  We need Christ so badly!

No, Christ worshipping is what got us this.  You people never learn.  Ever.

Not true. Please do not lump those of us who are not modern-day Pharisees calling themselves Christians for the benefit of political power.

The Pharisees were not even bad people. Jesus got most of his message from earlier Pharisee teachings, like Hillel the Elder.

Loeffler is withdrawing her challenge to GA electors.

Now that she has lost, Loeffler has nothing further to gain by grandstanding for Trump.

[Non Swing Voter]

AHAHAHHAHAHAHA Loeffler is no longer objecting.

AHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA

You can't make this up

What a loser

Instead of going to GA to help Loeffler, Trump went down and made her support his ridiculous crusade.  He's a factor in her loss.  She's probably pissed.

Are we all gonna just change our avatar or our actual party registration lmao

I went from blue from to green.

Bennet actively getting choked up talking about how he feels honoured to serve with the other senators, after a speech that is as close to rousing as the senate gets.

Then Loeffler gets up and drones through 100 cliches.

Partway through her speech, someone dropped something heavy on the floor, and the senators behind her jumped, and turned to look. Genuinely quite jarring.
