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

"How could this happen?"

"Over to you, Senator Santorum."

that motherfucker Rep whatever his name is better have a lot of nerve to try and abject to PA whenever they start that back up

fuck I came across the video of when the woman got shot. She is one of the rioters but the video is too chaotic to understand how/why she was hit. Single shot. Anyway I'm not going to share it.

Republican House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy said he spoke with President Trump about the rioters who have breached the US Capitol.

"I called him. I think we need to make a statement. Make sure that we can calm individuals down. Now, I don't know who these people are. Remember, when you have a big crowd, people who can get in to a crowd, I don't know who they are, I don't have any reports," he said.

However, many people in the crowd were seen wearing red MAGA hats, and carrying Trump campaign paraphernalia.

McCarthy made the comments in an interview on FOX News, adding, "Whatever is happening is unacceptable. They came here to protest peacefully. They could be hurt. What is happening right now is unacceptable."
Asked what the President said when he called him, McCarthy said, "He put out a tweet as well. For people to stay safe and people to not do this. I explained what was going on."

McCarthy said Trump is "getting reports of what is happening. He did not accept people doing this type of the behavior. I know he's getting reports as well. I wanted to give him a first hand report."

FUCK

YOU

watching msnbc and they had sharpton on and he pointed out that the police obviously sympathize with these people they pretended it didnt happen and now theyre interviewing a police chief on how to deal with the situation

Not surprising at all.

xxp i saw the video. it's not obvious to me that she's one of the rioters fwiw.

I am more sick and angry than I was on November 9, 2016.

I feel like I did on 9/11

obv lower body count but what this signifies for the near future..................oi

Vice President Pence, welcome to the resistance

Oh well that's good then!

At President @realDonaldTrump’s direction, the National Guard is on the way along with other federal protective services.

We reiterate President Trump’s call against violence and to remain peaceful.

pence could resist by invoking the 25th amendment and removing the president with a simple majority in the house

I am more sick and angry than I was on November 9, 2016.

Absolutely.

Per people close to the White House, several official and unofficial aides are trying - without success - to get the president to issue a stronger statement. He simply won't do it. He's been furious at Pence for refusing to do something he doesn't have power to do and that's that

nvm 2/3 majority of both houses, we're fucked

Trump needs to be removed now.

Apparently someone planted a bomb at the RNC but it was defused. DNC office has been evacuated.

It's going to be hours, more likely days, before they can reconvene in any form, no? I mean they have to sweep the entire building before letting them back in.

let's not forget this is literally delaying the election certification

(i.e exactly what they wanted)

this could definitely cost trump some crucial swing votes in his election against joe biden

I feel like I did on 9/11

and on 2016 election night

does it *have* to happen in the chambers? is there no way they can do it remotely? not sure what the 'rules' are.

WHY IN THE FUCK HAVE THESE PEOPLE STILL NOT BEEN CLEARED FROM THE STEPS

let's not forget this is literally delaying the election certification

it has to happen in public otherwise the conspiracy stuff gets worse.

Ivanka deleted a tweet calling the terrorists "Patriots":

this feels worse than 9/11

get the count done, hide out for two weeks.....and meet the protest with counterprotest (though even that prospect scares me, but....has to be done)

New - an explosive device was found at the RNC and detonated safely. https://t.co/dbL5U41ZSo

do it on Zoom imo

alright, time to look to moving the entire fam to New Zealand

ABC just confirmed the RNC pipe bomb

xxpost burrito might zoombomb them though

The Confederacy finally scores a big win after 155 years of attempts

To follow-up on my "apparently", the Kansas statehouse ended up letting the "protestors" in:

https://www.kmbc.com/article/reports-protesters-breach-kansas-statehouse-topeka-kansas/35141837

like I don't even feel sympathy for GOP who are now afraid to speak out because they "fear for their lives".

In early 2017, prior to Charlottesville, tensions were high, but not *this* high. Opposing Trump might have gotten you primaried or lost you his support and ooooooh no, you LOST YOUR HIGH-PAYING CONGRESS JOB!

you waited and let the hate fester to where every day feels like a potential Charlottesville x 4 and now you might get killed for defying Trump. well...that's your fuckin' fault.

they're not going to all grow spines, but jesus fuckin' christ....could anybody fuckin' defy the guy, I mean....your life is not going to get any better for serving the guy, and that's pretty obvious.

what's the big deal with Kansas anyway? why would they want to break in other than to show solidarity? was that all?

Reported on abc from his anonymous inner circle that, essentially, Trump is not taking any calls.

What's the matter with Kansas?

I guess Trump is increasingly ... self isolated.

lol?

!!! Chris Christie on @ABC says he's been trying for the last 25 minutes to reach President Trump. "The president has to come out and tell his supporters to leave the Capitol grounds," @GovChristie tells @GStephanopoulos

I guess? Unclear, but they were all waving Trump flags in the pictures I saw.
