DC Unrest Megathread

[Inmate Trump]

Will Trump get a presidential library?

He’s not simply a bad president...he’s a terrorist.

Nixon got one, so likely.

I've been keeping up with this thread, but I still don't know why Hawley and Cruz are considered electorally dead. What'd they do?

Nixon wasn’t a terrorist.

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

Trump I don't think actually wanted this to unfold in this manner. He's not ambitious enough to desire a violent disorderly coup. He wants large-scale protests in support of him, but not like this.
He's too much of a lazybones to even have any real role in plotting to help something like this to happen either, even in the scenario he did passively consider it.
There remains no real ground to even activate the 25th. What happened is that Trump has lost control of some of his supporters. The moral failure of the man is evident, but this does not mean there is any real sense of emergency to kicking him out of office ahead of schedule.

Pence is speaking

I was expecting the support for it to be way higher with Republicans to be honest considering polls have shown like 80% think the election was rigged.

IDK why 30% say they're patriots but only 10% say they're pro-democracy. So they're anti-democracy patriots?

Yes, but it will be located in Moscow.

They're essentially the leaders of the effort to stop the certification. In doing so, they threw gasoline on the fire that was already the hype of the Stop the Steal rally Trump did this morning. Had all GOP congressmen and Senators refused to challenge, things would likely be far calmer.

I was watching FOX News all day, and they were being fair and somewhat critical of Trump.  I actually feel that they are the least biased of the Big 3 cable networks during the daytime. But, then, primetime comes and Tucker Carlson comes on...

Please.

Pence is speaking

"Violence never wins. Freedom wins. This is still the people's house."

Edit: He ends it with "Let's get back to work."

[NYSforKennedy2024]

Admirable Pence moment.

[RINO Tom]

lol 30% of Republicans think they're patriots.

Very alarming, but I was happy to see 71% also called them criminals, extremists or worse.

[Pheurton Skeurto]

Pence sounds genuinely PISSED

[super6646]

Stern words from mike pence. I assume trump isn’t too happy rn.

I never thought I'm happy to hear him speak. He's at least acting like a statesman.

Start voting for Democrats.  That’s your only option.

[Thank you for being a friend...]

He will go down in history as the worst person to ever be President.  No one before or after will be as petty, as thin-skinned, as narcissistic, as desperate, and as sick in the head as this man.  He makes Richard Nixon look like Mister Rogers.  Good riddance to this slug.

What is Tucker’s position?

Damn Pence’s speech had me going “AMERICA F—K YEAH!!!!”

"We're not a democracy we're a Republic" neckbeards, most likely.

"We will not be kept out of this chamber," McConnell says. Really? So what did I just watch for the past six hours?

I suppose Mitch considered it a long dinner break.
