[postman1782]

Tens of thousands of protesters storm down Pennsylvania Avenue en route to the US Capitol.

LOL, fucking posting a Nazi and you think I fucking care what that dipshit has to say?

I never defended what these people did. I'm just glad that democrats are finally taking rioters seriously.

The people at Capital Hill are not rioters. They are terrorists.

Trump's Twitter account has been suspended for 12hrs. I can see the headlines now; "Body found in the presidential wing without a head. Witnesses say it's Trump. I swear he was grumbling one moment then boom! His head blew up!"

I like that. Actively telling his supporters to riot and incite insurrection gets a slap on the wrist 12 hour Twitter ban. I got a longer ban for telling a traitor supporter that maybe they deserve to get Covid for gathering in a large crowd with no masks on.

[Felya]

They announced the capital is secured... the fucktards went to bed...

[postman1782]

Stop the childishness. I'm not going to spend months and months responding to baseless accusations.

It isn't baseless, we have been watching you do it for months and months now.

Possibly, though I think checks alone for the next 100 days or before 2022 alone could allow the Dems to expand their majorities and actually think bigger. Right now the checks issue is so widely popular and Republicans took such a thrashing over fucking around on that issue that passing checks would be easy. I do think an executive order canceling student loan debt and Marijuana reclassification would lock the Dems in for 22/24.

I mean mainly the Dems need to just focus entirely on what will win voters, and shoveling out checks will do that. Give it two years and then run on "Hey, fuck your health insurance provider and hey, employer healthcare ain't worth shit if the economy tanks, lets just have a cheaper universal system, and more checks!" and run from there. I think if that path were followed you'd have an NHS in this country by 2024 or at least it'd be THE ISSUE of that election.

But for the next 100 days, I'd say Checks, Checks, and Checks, in that order. Maybe some executive orders canceling debts and making weed legal and you run up the score. More over this sets a trap for the SCOTUS, if they resist the Party that wanted to give everyone Checks and Medicine, then pack that court solid and make sure its sold as "These assholes don't want you to get checks and medicine! FUCK THEM!"

I can agree with pretty much everything here.

Can we use this footage as a reminder never to let Republicans control any chamber of government ever again?
Democracy is not what these people want.

David Fruam(sp?) said it almost 2 years ago

If conservatives become convinced that they cannot win democratically, they will not abandon conservatism. They will reject democracy.

So the new presiding officer of the US Senate is....guy with bull costume and white power tattoos.

oddly he represents the GOP really well, almost insulative window dressing to claim "respect" for other groups, while just being a white ethnonationalism group

I'm saying tens of thousands of protesters now have 2 options:

1. Overthrow the government.
2. Go to prison.

They can't go back home, crawl under the warm covers and go back to work tomorrow.

It is going to be number 2, and FUCKING GOOD. They deserve EVERYTHING that is coming their way. They should be lucky they aren't going to be tried for Treason and sentenced to death by firing squad.

If one of these guys was shot in the head by the cops, this would all be over and wouldn't be tried again until the 22nd century. These are not people fighting for something greater than themselves. They're just bored rich assholes. This is just a game to them. Make shit real, and they'll find a different hobby.

Hey, hey, he didn't tell them to riot! He told them to go home in peace! He just reminded them over and over and over that what was happening to him was so unfair and so unjust and fighting back was totally justified. But they should go home in peace. But also he totally gets why they'd burn down the capital. But also they should go home in peace. But anyone else would totally rise up in resistance. But go home in peace, okay?

One dead from GSW to the neck already.

Funny how Koko slunk away once the situation got under control and his fantasy came crashing down around him.

What the hell do you care? Nothing bad happened to you.

Think the secret service nailed her...through a glass door too.

[Egomaniac]

Of the scenarios I went over as possible version of insurrection and rebellion, it looks like the US has now chosen some form of the French Revolution. I expect the protesters will arrest members of congress they find, force them to admit Trump won camera, then kill them. And if they can't find any of them, they will probably just declare themselves the new congress and go from there.

How's that prediction feel right about now?

[Thekri]

Turns out his fantasy doesn't reflect reality. Much like all the MAGA rioters today. It was hilarious watching them act all surprised when they discovered that the Police would tear gas them for breaking the law as well. Turns out the American government is still a thing that exists. Who would have thunk.

Well, Trump told them on Twitter that the police were on their side... :P

Loafler just backed off the objection... even that monster is out...

For protesting?

[Machismo]

For protesting?

And terrorism... pipe bombs, assault, threats of murder, and attempting to kidnap politicians.

You Trumpsters really should stop defending Nazis.
