And Sleepy Joe Will Get The Credit: US Politics January 2021

he would've blessed this eminent example of nullification

xxxpost These dipshits probably all live in McMansions.

Is that a build the wall arm tat?

xps

i think its a little more than just white privilege is also that they are political allies with the police, after all all of antifa is white trust fund outside agitators right

can it reconvene if Pence got escorted through a motorcade? then again I guess Grassley could just lead it

lol this whole presidency was destined to end up with Pence having to be protected from a goon army of Trump's making

why evacuate him and not the other senators? i'd imagine mitch is the one who they want to rip apart today.

oh nevermind they didn't 'drive' him out, they moved him through the underground tunnels.

i mean, they'll just get thrown out and then congress will reconvene

but if they had a plan to like shoot it up or burn it down or if the crowd had been bigger and angrier it couldve been very different no

what they should really do is just abandon Pence in the tunnels

someone in there might have that plan, we will see

it's happening

Mike Pence didn’t have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our Country and our Constitution, giving States a chance to certify a corrected set of facts, not the fraudulent or inaccurate ones which they were asked to previously certify. USA demands the truth!

pence lost in the tunnels "the ghost of the senate"

xxpost yeah not sure "let's just let them advance further until we actually see shit on fire, then we'll lightly tap heads with a stick" is a great strategy for the Cap Police rn

all this and the GOP still won't turn on Trump outright

It is insane that these people are in there. They're going to have to evacuate the entire building to make sure one of these lunatics didn't leave an explosive device or something. They should all be arrested. Where is security?

cops are finally putting their conflict resolution training to use lol

maybe it's finally time for twitter to pull the plug on him

The images of terrorists storming the Capitol building with confederate flags will be in textbooks for decades to come.

looking forward to the new vatican shadow song titles that will come out of this

Today we are living through 150 pages of a future Rick Perlstein book

That dude in the fur hat is a minor celeb in Trumpling circles.. he often wears a loincloth as well.

Had Al-Qaeda known it was this easy...

going to engage in a period of deep self reflection

If you don't like what's happening today, maybe you should go back four years, look in the mirror and ask if it was a good idea to declare #NotMyPresident, declare yourself the Resistance, and boycott an Inaugural. When one side violates norms, the other side will too.

Capitol Police have asked for help from other branches of law enforcement. yeah good going guys, you clearly used up your entire arsenal of tricks.

Surely all these idiots are going to get arrested. Not much will happen to them unless things escalate from here, but they are definitely going to be cuffed. Right?

Outside the Capitol, which is now on lockdown.

LMFAO

I'm really fucking glad I live where I do and I am incredibly worried about my ex and my kids

xxxp What tricks tho? Doing absolutely nothing??

xxp omg that wall pic

Also whoever was arguing about whataboutism upthread, that Ari Fleischer tweet is a masterly example of the form.

:(

Capitol Police have asked for help from other branches of law enforcement.

I’ve heard there’s some mysterious militarized federal agents that will just whisk people away in unmarked vans, maybe they’ll help.

what tricks tho? Doing absolutely nothing??

that's really what I meant - like Ned Flanders dad saying "we've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas!"

this all makes me so fucking mad obviously but

Police holding that line giggling like "omg seriously DON'T"

I wouldn't bet on it. Maybe a few, but absolutely not all.

especially concerning is that the more militant groups (proud boys, etc) haven't even come out yet.

senate being evacuated

They're slamming on the doors. Everyone has gas masks. I can see some flashes outside the chambers.

curfew in DC from 6pm til tomorrow evening

I have yet to see footage of anyone actively trying to stop them, beyond gently pushing back before they got into the building.

fucking teargas in the rotunda

The footage of these men just walking into the capitol is mind-boggling. The should be zip-tied on the ground.

Evacuating the house. Saw something about retrieving gas masks from under seats?
