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

Im watching on cnbc

Presenter is getting a bit overwrought, its a dreadful state of affairs and no wonder he is struggling with it

Can’t get his words out

Why @AuntyPasta ? Did they get round to that part of the proceedings before Trump supporters stormed the building?

CatVsChristmasTree · 06/01/2021 20:44

@Hatstrategicallydipped

Sky News not yet confirming anything about the shots fired though reporting it as unconfirmed.
ABC on Twitter saying she was shot by law enforcement.

@Hatstrategicallydipped

My cousin said that she was crying when Biden won.

Prior to that, she was actually praying for Trump to win. When I asked her how on fucking earth she could support a racist and she said that she didn't want to discuss politics. She wouldn't be what I'd call thick, though not highly educated Irish.

Is her nationality relevant or in some way related to her being thick? I'm not sure why you included that (unless you're a Trump supporter type).
Hatstrategicallydipped · 06/01/2021 20:44

My cousin is of Irish heritage as is Biden, so I wasn't saying that she wasn't educated because she was Irish - born and raised in the US. Her views baffled me.

I think its cos he told trump no...
AuntyPasta · 06/01/2021 20:45

Trump still refusing to tell protesters to exit building.

‘False information has consequences’

Trump caused this

I missed a comma out! I'm a not very well educated Irish woman myself lol

RufustheSniggeringReindeer · 06/01/2021 20:46

They must do psychological tests surely

How did trump slip through

Mike Pence taken into protective custody by the Secret Service, apparently. Trump has denounced him.

twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1346900434540240897?s=20

Mike Pence didn’t have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our Country and our Constitution, giving States a chance to certify a corrected set of facts, not the fraudulent or inaccurate ones which they were asked to previously certify. USA demands the truth!

Wouldn't be surprised if Pence were assassinated Sad

Hatstrategicallydipped · 06/01/2021 20:47

I mentioned her heritage as I would have thought that she would be a Biden supporter. An unfortunate lack of punctuation gave the sentence the wrong meaning!!

pinkhousesarebest · 06/01/2021 20:47

"She wouldn't be what I'd call thick, though not highly educated Irish."
Unlike yourself obviously.

AuntyPasta · 06/01/2021 20:47

He stated before the process started that he would only carry out the role stated in the constitution. He has also said that the protestors will be prosecuted.

NetflixnChill · 06/01/2021 20:48

Oh ok i didn't know he'd said that. Interesting.

AuntyPasta · 06/01/2021 20:50

Mike Pence is Vice President. The Secret Service will automatically remove him from a dangerous situation. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris will have their own protection details .

AuntyPasta · 06/01/2021 20:51

‘Prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law’ (Pence)

sofato5miles · 06/01/2021 20:51

@Hatstrategicallydipped i'd report that post and get it removed as it sounds horrendous and will just be picked up, over and over again. And many won't aee your explanatiin ( glad i did)

AwaAnBileYerHeid · 06/01/2021 20:51

Trump has apparently urged them to stop and ordered no violence, along with calling in the national guard. No one wants this. Not a brain cell between them, these protestors.

Hatstrategicallydipped · 06/01/2021 20:52

Has Biden said anything on this yet? I don't think he's as fond of twitter as Trump though?

Didn’t he rile them up initially?

One of the darkest days I can imagine for the US. 😞

Why is Ivanka Trump tweeting that this violent mob are "American patriots"?? Stupid cow.

Ye, Trump was saying the election was stolen

Aimee1987 · 06/01/2021 20:55

They broke into Pelosi's office.

This is crazy
