Trump is winning right now. Unless there's some secret independent army that can independently intercept a coup attempt, Trump's terrorists will overwhelm the super small and underwhelming capital police or sergeant of arms. This.. unless something drastic happens, or these terrorists come to their senses (fat chance), we are looking at a delay in the transfer of power.
How do u let the capitol building get overrun so easily? This is beyond sad and pathetic. they’ll use rubber bullets on a BLM protestor outside the local CVS with no hesitation, but for these MAGA members, it’s water pistols and nerf guns
I am worried that some of these traitors will try and burn it down. Stand back and stand by. **** you trump. The blood is on you and the Gop enablers hands.
It's anger...anger against "The Other". It's what happens when someone surrenders their free will to the dictates of a cult. This didn't start with Trump. It started way back in the 90s with the likes of Rush Limbaugh who preached all of the alt-right propaganda that Trump, OAN, Fox News, et. al. have been broadcasting for years now.
So, bring a strongly worded letter to a gun fight? Strong words, letters, and calling your congressmen are exercises in futility. It was cool to see that Romney, during the rush out of the capitol, told Republican senators that today's violence was on them.
This exposes tremendous weakness.friggin a country like the Bahamas could send in 20 mercenaries and do more damage. Talk about weakness
The goal today by Trump was to delay the transfer of power by stopping the Congressional certification. Tell me how he has not succeeded???
I heard a request for the national guard to come was denied? They've got metro and city police there, I think. They're trying to clear House and Senate chambers but they didn't have enough firepower from what I understand to overpower the "protestors".
