The Cabinet should be invoking the 25th Amendment right now.

He doesn't even pretend to be President of the United States. He speaks just to his people.

Also, all the talking heads on CNN calling this a literal "insurrection" will get what they're asking for.  If you go too far in demonizing these protesters/rioters, then you will invariably create the very demons you're supposedly petrified by.  

Law enforcement has learned to deescalate situations for the sake of public safety (which appears to be what's going on at the moment); I only wish our news media had the same sense of civic responsibility.  

The true enemy of the people.  100%
This is deranged, even for you. You are looking at this and what you are seeing is protesters being DEMONIZED? WTF man? Get a grip.

Literally the only thing that makes this any different than BLM riots/protesters is that the building is big and white with a pretty dome and columns and Yasss Kween Nancy Pelosi and Maxine Waters work there.  Occupying and damaging a police precinct building is literally no different that what is going on today.  Police power, the electoral college and Congress are all equally-legitimate manifestations of our civil government.  Its the same s[inks]t, yet the level of vitriol and pearl clutching going on are oceans apart.  

Pretty sad that the only argument you have to justify this madness is lame attempts at creating false equivalencies.

Apparently, the Electoral College certificates from the states were saved by a Senate aide before the thugs swarmed the chamber. President Biden should grant the Presidential Medal of Freedom to this hero.

Will someone please check on Susan Collins? I want to know if the situation merits our concern yet.

New evidence by OANN: one of the people in the Senate photo was wearing a mask. Trump supporters don't wear masks. Therefore, that person was actually an ANTIFA infiltrator.

They're now talking about Antifa/BLM protests causing more deaths.

You've been watching OANN? How have you managed to preserve enough brain cells to write coherent sentences?

This turned out to be a pretty prescient tweet by future Senate Majority Leader Schumer

SirWoodbury has been offline since this morning. Hope he made it back home from the Capitol okay.

I don’t!

Perhaps she was the woman who got shot

Notice how Hawley looks directly into the camera. He’s not talking to his fellow senators, he’s telling the MAGA cult “Please vote for me in ‘24”.

Pat Toomey literally giving election atlas level analysis of PA county votes.

He’s retiring to fully dedicate himself to posting on the Atlas blog

Quote from: Blair on January 07, 2021, 09:54:10 AM
I guess the fundamental question is what would have happened if this had been the white house?

I think the question is: What if this had been well-organized? If that had been the case, it realistically could have been a successful coup d’état. Democracy came frighteningly close to breaking down.

This is literally Al Qaeda rhetoric.

Liberals would do well to reflect on this quote by Martin Luther King, there is a lot of truth to it with regard to how many Americans feel.

A riot is the language of the unheard - Martin Luther King

Funny how online conservatives tend to put a quote (preferably a deliberately misinterpreted one from a left-wing figure) instead of an argument and call it a day. Like that Peter Hitchens quote about opinion polls which always shows up when they see a poll they don’t like.
