US Politics

yep the lack of response from law enforcement is staggering highlighted by the selfie posing policeman .

So, has no-one given the National Guard the directions?

2021 was off to a relatively good start until the 2nd American Civil War broke out.

oh THAT Washington...

Trump's finally come out and is telling them to fuck off home

Pipe bomb found at R.N.C. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/06/us/politics/an-explosive-device-is-found-at-the-rnc-and-the-dnc-is-evacuated.html

Think @andyp posted this previously, but what’s happening now brought it back to mind.

Wondering how this coup will be recorded in history, and in the memory of Americans.

Ossoff has won.

Trump video message is fucked. First thing out his mouth was about a stolen election, I feel your pain, go home.

What a day for US politics

Maybe they'll make a camp? Some kind of right wing Maidan Square?

What the hell was that pre recorded piece of trash...
Pre recorded when? Yesterday?

Oooh mama, that's some spicey news for the flames!

Totally fucked and deliberately vague. Project whatever the you like onto that statement ‘special’ ones.

Defense Dept denied the request to deploy NG apparently

I'm sure his 'supporters' were half expecting him to demand them to be brave, and take that as a cue to start shooting...

Unverified tweets from private individuals claiming there’s protests in various cities. A couple of photos among the tweets. None violent until now it seems.

I don't think this is is getting as much news as it should...

That Trump speech - fuck me. Unbelievable how low he can sink.

He should have gone all-in, get tried for treason, and ride the publicity. Amateur.

Trumps message - ‘you’re special, I love you’

Oh yeah

Everything Trump Touches Dies

Looks like similar happenings are being tweeted about in the Kansas, Georgia, and Colorado state houses.

A leader telling his people he loves them often makes his followers more devoted.

Edit- ex., if his friend Kim said that to a group of his followers, they’d literally weep for joy.
