As if the world doesn't have enough to deal with without him inciting that sort of thing.

How is it possible for a couple of dozen people to get into the Capitol?

If they were black several of them would have been killed by now.

It is totally crazy, I’m glued to CNN!

Trump is a parasite and he’s whipping this up......... How can anyone honestly think he is suitable to run a bath let alone USA for another 4 years.

CurlyhairedAssassin · 06/01/2021 19:28

It's scary, watching it. The people inside must be terrified. There's rumours of pipe bombs and everything...

Utterly, utterly stupid thugs. It's horrifying.

Have just put CNN on Shock

With the COVID chaos and this, it feels like the world has actually gone mad.

You can just imagine Trump sitting watching, going "Good, I'm glad. The people know it's the right thing to do - they know I won."

And he’s inciting this..... how can he believe that this is anyway right!?

I pray it doesn’t turn violent, but it sounds like it’s getting scary with suspicious packages etc. I feel for anyone legitimately working there, and the police will need to be really careful.

Trump should rot in hell...or a jail cell.

So far peaceful trespassing, long may it continue so.

I am watching McConnell's speech now...

CurlyhairedAssassin · 06/01/2021 19:36

I wonder if they have the power to arrest him. Right now, I mean.

When will he stop?

Where are the police?

This feels so scary. How can they not arrest Trump for inciting social unrest/threat to national security?!?

JulesM73 · 06/01/2021 19:43

I know, you would think they should be able to arrest him.

Lampzade · 06/01/2021 19:45

I am sure that if this had been a BLM protest, they would have had the National Guard out
Just when you think that Trump can’t get any worse.. Absolute disgrace
If anyone is killed, Trump will have blood on his hands
He needs to be charged with Treason

Apileofballyhoo · 06/01/2021 19:46

Inside they're donning their gas masks. Watching on MSNBC.

EduCated · 06/01/2021 19:48

This is scary to watch. We had it on watching the fairly dull stuff, and it all unfolded so quickly. How the fuck did it just happen?

BalladOfBarryAndFreda · 06/01/2021 19:48

It is terrifying

ssd · 06/01/2021 19:49

Awful

@igorbobic on Twitter seems to have most recent updates...

@lljkk Are you a Trump supporter? Seems like a staggeringly naiive thing to say if you've been following it on TV.

Trump needs putting in a straitjacket now. I hope someone is keeping him well away from "The Button" Grin. He's like Dr Evil trying to take us all down with him....

sorry, lljjkk that was to your earlier comment about "peaceful trespassing"

Just speaking to politically savvy cousin in US. Obviously they are just watching it on TV like me. WTF is the consensus. Other speculation too but that's not helpful .

StillGardening · 06/01/2021 19:55

I love America. It is so sad watching them implode. Russia is pulling the strings and making it look like self destruction. This is about changing the balance of power. Everyone is so busy focusing on domestic issues that we are not looking at the global stage.

CurlyhairedAssassin · 06/01/2021 19:56

Yep, you wonder if we are all going to be waking up tomorrow!

I'm just watching it like Shock

pleasefeedthecat · 06/01/2021 19:58

It would just be like him to try and nuke Iran as a protest. I think they need to place him under house arrest or something. He's crazy.

derenstar · 06/01/2021 19:59

Just watching it on CNN live on YouTube. It’s absolutely shocking what’s happening and the long gap before police presence is also telling.

Trump is truly dangerous.
