Trump

[Simon]

If Georgia's 2 Senators go Dem, then the house is drawn, giving VP the casting vote.

The Republican tears are gonna be huge later today.

[duncs500]

From what I've read, only one senator looks nailed on so far, so probably shouldn't celebrate too early.

What do they expect though, if you make people think their vote is not going to count because it's all rigged, it might take away your motivation to vote.

[Rich B]

Yeah, he's been moaning all morning about being cheated again. I wonder how many people who've never voted before, did this time just to shut him up!?

Like the RATM Christmas number 1 a few years back just to stop whatever talent show it was taking it by default!

[Beany]

He's having a Very Normal One today

Trump supporters are trying to storm the Capitol.

I mean, they're violent seditionists, where's the tear gas and anonymous grab vans at?

More realistically, why aren't they being lit up with rubber bullets?

[DaveE]

I'm watching live too @Beany

It's mad to see this happening.

As you say, it seems that it's being allowed to happen.

[DaveE]

So far it doesn't look like there's actually been any violence though...

[Beany]

There wasn't when sit in protestors got in the way of Trump's Bible photoshoot last year, but they still got less lethal and pepper rounds, and as I recall, year has thrown at them.

Also, literally just put 'trump' into Twitter search and you'll see plenty of 'peaceful protesting'

[Beany]

There is ALLEGEDLY an active shooter inside - those guns aren't drawn for a laugh though. Believe those are security staff.



Situation unclear at the moment - might be a terrible misunderstanding or misinterpretation.

[Beany]

Peaceful protestors here, too.

[DaveE]

@Beany I was actually going to make the contrast between reactions today vs when they cleared protestors so that Trump could wave a Bible (upside down) outside a church

I've not seen anything on major news outlets about a potential shooter.

Some of the people smashing their way in looked pretty 'paramilitary' though...

[Beany]

Well, we all know how much the Trump lot like to play soldier.

CNN reporting one person in critical condition after being shot on the Capitol grounds.

[Simon]

Sky News saying the same. Gotta say, if you storm the Capitol building, you're pretty fair game.

[Beany]

Nah, you can get selfies with the pigs, it's fine bro.



Can't imagine why people in the US want the police defunded, eh?

[duncs500]

What a mess.

The good thing in this country is that stupid people aren't really that interested in politics, hopefully helps us avoid scenes like this.

[Mito Man]

You’d think there’s a regime change attempt happening in Turkey but then you realise that it’s in America - what a proper dump. You can get rid of Trump but what about the millions that voted for him.

[speedingfine]

Insurrection!

[DaveE]

What a mess.

He's just mental!

Deary me.
