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

I just saw that, incredible.

So if we ever think about electing a twice-divorced, serially bankrupt casino developer again... remember this day.

God anglophonia loves the word coup.

holy shit man this is fucking crazy

I haven’t been this furious in a minute

qft

this sure looks like a fucking coup to me

I heard an officer say “shots fired.”

So every time a republican incumbent is unseated going forward we're going to get ring wing terrorists literally shooting up the US CAPITOL BUILDING in "protest. This country is finished.

VHS: can’t blame them this time around tbh.

how tf is this going to be stopped on inauguration day if the Capitol Police are this weak? granted i know more than just Capitol Police will be there but jesus christ.

Either the Capitol Police were unprepared, are incompetent, or they have moles. Or all three.

The forces of reaction are so quick to violence at the prospect of even moderate change

this sure looks like a fucking coup to me

this is a calamitous losing move by MAGA and these pipsqueaks are gonna be crushed imo. but maybe I live in hope

It’s not a losing move if so-called law and order manifestly appears to be on their side.

feeling sick for USA :(

*PENTAGON DENIES DC OFFICIAL REQUEST FOR NATIONAL GUARD: WAPO

— *Walter Bloomberg (@DeItaone) January 6, 2021

think I'm mostly trying to reassure myself tbh, sorry if this comes off as flippant. also this latest twist is insane

How has Twitter not shut down Trump's account yet?

Putin is probably jerking it so hard right now

I am hearing "denied" from some sources and "not yet approved" from others.

I fucking hope its the latter.

isn't the National Guard controlled by local officials? I just saw this:

Sorry but none of America's problems are ever only American problems.

So I didn't listen to his speech, but apparently Trump said "And we're gonna go up to Capitol!"

Militia members have gathered outside the Georgia Capitol. Brad Raffensperger and senior staff have been escorted out to safety.

— Amy Gardner (@AmyEGardner) January 6, 2021

Hope all ilxors anywhere near this stay safe, and it gets quashed very very soon

What's going on outside the capitol?

_Putin is probably jerking it so hard right now_


Who cares? This is an American problem

Sorry but none of America's problems are ever only American problems.

Horrific image of a gravely injured woman being wheeled out of the #capitol just aired on @MSNBC

That’s not what I mean, I mean this stuff is homegrown in origin, a lot of people have been fooling themselves about nefarious foreign influence to make themselves feel better about their own problems

Jon Morales is Miami's NBC 6 metereologist -- damn.
