This is something you expect to describe a third-world banana republic.

China is now sarcastically trolling:

Chinese state propaganda is now on a "haha" moment:

Fascists tend to side with their fellow Fascists.

Does this idiot not understand that the Biden Administration will view him as a hostile power and retaliate accordingly?

A smart fascist would have done what Franco did in 1945, and quietly pivot to be on the right side of the war.

Hogan:

That he was accompanied by men wearing military uniforms to make a political announcement is very, very telling.

The video is actually very good. He should have recorded this video on November 6 or 7 when it became clear that he had lost the election.

He should resign now to avoid being impeached and Pence should pardon him.

God's how in God's name can you say he deserves pardoned? Is this just a way of pardoning your own conscience for supporting this neo-Nazi?

No. It's just an embarrassment to the country to have a former President prosecuted for crimes and possibly convicted.

Chinese state media has been absolutely ecstatic about the crisis in Washington, and they had live reporters on the ground.

What do you think was their tone? No prizes for the right answer.

I wonder if Chicago will forcibly remove Trump's name from Trump tower that facing the Chicago River. Its so big and bold in the middle  of the city, and I think the city's residents will definitely want it removed or moved elsewhere(kinda like Trump tower outside of the strip in Las Vegas)

Methinks this question will be moot soon. Deutsche Bank will repossess it either before or after Trump declares bankruptcy and will take down the eyesore letters.

Toronto:

Panama:

These videos now feel like what happens when a dictator is overthrown and the people tear down the monuments to the ex-Dear Leader.

Who would want to buy a former Trump asset?  Even with Trump no longer associated with it, the Trump stench will reduce its value. Unless it's a property that's uniquely suited for your business, best to wait to buy it out of the bankruptcy proceedings where you can at least say you didn't give Trump money, just his creditors.

The Trump Tower here in Toronto was bought for less than its outstanding mortgage by Marriott after the creditors repossessed it, and the whole thing is now history.

The Trump hotel in Toronto was never owned by Trump, it was just a licensing and management agreement. That was when the Trump name was merely divisive and not synonymous with treason, and when the hospitality industry was booming worldwide.

That's true. He went into the Toronto real estate market during its biggest ever boom, and structured the project so that he earned his fees while the investors were squeezed into bankruptcy. It was the only real estate project in Toronto to go bankrupt for more than a decade.

Nonetheless, my point stands. Once the properties are no longer in his possession either due to repossession or forced sale, they will no longer carry the stigma. If the buyer were smart, they would give free office space to the ACLU or another group.

One thought just popped up in my mind: the riot has been confirmed as a coronavirus superspreader event.

This means that some rioters who are still at large will be developing symptoms around now.

Take this to its conclusion and this means in the coming days, there will be arrests of people in hospital, coughing their lungs out.

I can't believe it's come to this. This is something you see in Turkey or Zimbabwe.

And what happens when Trump doesn't remain in office, what's she gonna do then? Pretend there is a shadow government with Trump in charge

She can ask for her paychecks from Trump's treasury department.

Can’t believe the National Guard inside the Capitol looks like a far more refreshing and democratic sight than civilians inside the Capitol, but here we are. These people clearly actually care about their country and respect what it stands for. Can’t be said for Trump and his cultists.

There are apparently more troops on Capitol Hill right now than in Afghanistan or Iraq. Turns out this is what we get for becoming a top oil producer.

Central Washington is now a Baghdad-style Green Zone. I wonder how Iraqis who immigrated to the US and settled in Washington feel. It's like they went back.

when is he getting fired?

Do you mean literally or figuratively?
