Insurrectiongate 2021

I guess the promise of peace if Biden won isn't going to happen.

At what point does protest become terroism?

2021 is ahead of 2020 at the same point on the crazy scale.

Very true.  **Insert joke about 2020 turning 21**

Invading the Capitol is wrong and bad.

The idea that "it should have never got this point" or "this was tacitly encouraged" is fair and merited.  But the sentiment trying to pretend there is a lack of outrage about this compared to the rioting in the late spring is total BS. This gross and embarrassing and unilaterally being condemned across board.

Also, I've seen a bunch of people bemoaning people not wearing masks.  It's an armed attempt at a Coup, but I'm glad masks are where we are focusing energy,

[Jockey]

There was one person on Scoop who said (over and over) that there would be a coup attempt.

Pence must remove trump (25th amendment) today.

[Jockey]

 BTW, that person was me.

Breaking windows. Vandalizing offices.

Shots have been fired at least one women shot in the chest -serious condition. Police being attacked.

This is all on the traitor in the WH.

[tower912]

And his enablers.

A sitting President inciting an armed coup attempt in the United States of America. Appalling.

This is a sad day for America, and a dangerous day for the future of representative democracy.

[withoutbias]

Further proof this man is the greatest president this country has ever seen, to some.

I apologize, Jock. I didn't know what you were posting about earlier.

My god. What will happen to these people? This is terrorism or insurrection or sedition, right? (I don't know the legal definitions).

Why aren't police using the amount of force they could be using? Where is the backup/reinforcements?

[Jockey]

We are the laughingstock of the world.

Good for you.

Good for you.

You righties are real Americans.

Apparently the Department of Defense denied the DC mayor's request for assistance from the National Guard.  But we'll definitely make sure they're out anywhere a BLM protest might break out, to go with curfews.

I'm trying to think of a sadder day for America since 9/11. I'm drawing a blank.

Don't follow politics so much, but you have to turn on CNN.  They are going absolutely bonkers. 

For all of you not familiar with US Capital, the building very, very large and from the pictures, there are a ton of protestors there. Seems like local county police (PG, Montgomery and Fairfax) arrived and staring to clear it out. 

[Frenns Liquor Depot]

This is very sad.  The symbolism of this is just terrible.  I hope we can pull together and ensure we don't find ourselves here ever again.

Ivanka tweeted that the terrorists are "American patriots".

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

Enabled him for four years. The most terrifying part is today's events come as absolutely zero shock.

At least those folks didn't kneel during the anthem?

[jesmu84]

Probably when you trespass, destroy property, assault police, threaten congressional officials, etc

Thanks. On a day like today, I needed a laugh.
