Apparently it wasn't stolen except in eyes of the right wing propaganda.

How unexpected this is. How unmotivated. The US can be so happy that its still seated president has nothing to do with it.

Some weeks ago, somehticn like this happened at the Berlin Reichstag, too, a mob of AfD primitives tried to storm into the foyer and were stopped by just three lonely policemen.

A frontal assault on the constitutional order, and democracy itself. Ivanka Trump called these mobsters "patriots", then deleted her tweet later.

BTW, there is a word for the events on display. Its called an attempted Putsch, a coup d'etat. I read that the National Guard was ordered on alarm already, but still they forgot to protect the buildig better, obviously. Somebody still takes Trump not serious...!?

America, you are in deep, deep messy trouble with yourself.

DC National Guard is being deployed. I wonder which side they will be on, well no I don't really.

Biden's speech calls for Trump to step up and end it. I doubt he's man enough.

Trump's call for his bootlickers to go home:

I know your pain I know you're hurt we had an election that was stolen from us, it was a landslide election and everyone knows it, especially the other side, but you have to go home now. We have to have peace, we have to have law and order, we have to respect our great..people in law and order. We don't want anybody hurt its a very tough period of time, there's never been a time like this where.. such a thing happened where they could take it away from all of us, from me from you from our country. This was a fraudulent election, but we can't play into the hands of these people, we have to have peace. So go home we love you, you're very special, you've seen what happens, you see the way others are treated that are so bad and so evil, I know how you feel but go home and go home in peace.

He holds a "presidential speech" on twitter?
Still fanning the flames with his fraud lies.

In my opinion what is happening in Washington is a disgrace.

I understand their frustration, but this is absolutely not the way to do it.

In other words I would say that Trump and his supporters are sore losers

Edit
Since following is from a friends friend who has a son who lives in the States I can't confirm the truth in it.
According to this son, they(don't know who) are planning on removing Trump immediately

That would be a mistake. Due process needs to be followed or it will fuel further dissent.

Onkel Neal · 01-06-21, 04:58 PM

This is nuts.

This is totally inappropriate.

GoldenRivet · 01-06-21, 04:59 PM

When a nation is reduced, in simplest terms, to two competing ideologies that are totally imcompatible, this is inevitably the result.

the left wants to destroy the right with due process

the right wants to destory the left with due process

apparently there are some folks who simply wish to cut out the middle man

Buddahaid · 01-06-21, 05:12 PM

I think there is, or was, far more overlapping of ideals for the general population. You can't paint all of us as extremist because some of us are.

im not intending to paint everyone or even anyone as an extremist.

The politicians are the extremists we are forced to choose from unfortunately i suppose

you have a president elect threatening to shut down an entire industry and close shop for tens of millions of Americans - thats a real pisser.

the rest of us who continue to be employed are taxed to the out house and back just so the rest can afford to sit on their rear ends.

a real mess has been made by an ever growing government that is entrenched in every aspect of our daily lives

No its not a putsch nor is it a rebellion there is a big difference between putsch/rebellion and what even our next President Joe Biden described as insurrection. Looks messy, but I'll have to admit that in the long run it may do some good.

GoldenRivet · 01-06-21, 05:39 PM

Democrats support the Police now though

I'm watching CNN right now and I haven't seen civilian standing side by side with the riot police or ordinary police.
