DC Unrest Megathread

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

D-DC baby

[Damocles]

Broke: Continuing to support Trump

Woke: Calling for Trump’s immediate ouster and prosecution for treason against the United States

Bespoke: Revising the constitutional and legal mechanisms that enabled a Trump in the first place, to prevent the next one

[AndyHogan14]

Why isn't Pelosi making Cawthorn wear a mask?

[Dr Oz Lost Party!]

Oh great. H*t Wheels is speaking.

My last favorite freshman... and yes, I dislike him more than MTG.

[NewYorkExpress]

Broke: Continuing to support Trump

Woke: Calling for Trump’s immediate ouster and prosecution for treason against the United States

Bespoke: Revising the constitutional and legal mechanisms that enabled a Trump in the first place, to prevent the next one

Even more woke: Demanding that the Justice Department pursue the Death Penalty against Donald Trump, and that Joe Biden declares the Republican Party an illegal terrorist organization.

[Attorney General & PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Temporarily changed my avatar to a Dem one in recognition of the inexcusability of the actions that occurred today.

If its temporary, it doesn't mean sh**t. The Trump Party is a literal cancer on Democracy.

Normally I use an "O" avatar as I don't believe in swearing my loyalty to a political party.

Obviously  would  never use a  GOP avatar lmao

[Stockdale for Veep]

Northam walking across State-lines.

Guy on MSNBC just said he gives no f—ks what other news outlets are telling their journalists they can say, then outright called this a “coup attempt” and “insurrection” and “sedition.”

[LimoLiberal]

Madison Cawthorn is one of the biggest phonies in American politics. His whole background is fake or misleading besides the wheelchair. And he just gave a vapid high-school debate speech about being a "radical" for limited government.

[Unconditional Surrender Truman]

CNN's been calling it an "insurrection" and "sedition" all night.

Heard similar words from Brian Williams too, I think he was referring to print outlets like NYT and WaPo.

That's mild. They should rightfully be labelled "terrorists" or "traitors" or preferably both.

[Alben Barkley]

I remember staying up late to see the Obamacare vote, got to see the legendary McCain “thumbs down” live. Will probably tell my grandchildren about that some day. So that’s my excuse to anyone who asks me why I’m watching C-SPAN at 2 AM. History is unfolding before our eyes!

Oh, they have been.

Cawthorn is the worst.  Makes the whole country think he was robbed of attending the Naval Academy due to his auto accident.  Only to find out via court docs that he was actually rejected the week before the accident. Who does that- and even more, who does that and thinks no one will find out.  Although, he was elected anyway?

Cop holding door open: "Oh, I'm sorry, am I not holding the door open enough for you?  Please take some parting gifts from the art wing before you leave."

Why wouldn't he hold the door open for them?  He wants them out of there.

He should be arresting them not being valet to their criminal activity.

Right, because singlehandedly trying to arrest them all would be an easy thing to do and would work out wonderfully...

This may surprise you but there's actually hundreds of officers at the capitol.  I didn't see a single one making arrests.

[YPestis25]

After today's events, I think we can all find some comfort in Randy Newman.

I'd like to say
A few words
In defense of our country
Whose people aren't bad
Nor are they mean
Now, the leaders we have
While they're the worst that we've had
Are hardly the worst
This poor world has seen

There were literally pictures in the news of police making arrests inside the Capitol.

I think it's inspirational how he's able to overcome his disability.  By disability, I'm referring to his very low IQ.

[SCNCmod]

BTW- here is an article on the crazy "It was ANTIFA" ploy. Including how Trump started laying the groundwork yesterday (Monday) in case anything got stirred up.

It's been over two hours now. Nothing is to be gained by drawing this out any more...time to close the debate and start voting.

The problem for Trump is that the rest of America isn't as dumb as his base.

I'm really hoping he gets primaried in 2022.  Or better yet, gets redistricted into a less Republican district (since NC will gain a seat, many of the districts should change a fair amount)

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

The Rs never accepted that it was a Covid Environment, they think its a. normal Election that's why they don't wear mask and object to giving consumers a helping hand in giving stimulus checks. That's why Mcconnell blocked 2K helped D's win GA

These are the same mobsters that stormed MI, that wanted their hard and sports stadiums opened up and drink beer

[Amanda Huggenkiss]

I was just checking in the live stream. Oh my God. Those Republicans are so petty. How can they have lived through an attempted fascist coup and still go on with that bullsh*t.
