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

I really hope it does, @thecatfromjapan, otherwise things could be even worse next time round.

@Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g: that idiot in the photo you posted, never mind losing his job, he will lose his liberty as he'll be going to jail.

Republican congresswoman interviewed on Sky News just now. She's in lock-down in the Capitol along with her staff. They can't go home.

This has to have destroyed Ivanka's chances as the Trump continuity candidate.

Let's hope so.

If Trump refuses to concede, how and when can the temperature be lowered? He seems to be creating terrorists before the world’s eyes.

I can't believe the 'calming' speech he just put out. He told the protestors to go home in peace while also saying the election was fraudulent and he feels their pain! WTF!

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 06/01/2021 21:54

Let's hope so, @CurlyhairedAssassin!

I doubt she'll think so. The family are deluded and incredibly dim. I expect Trump to try and run again. I watched Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 11/9 the other day - his lunacy and desperation for power is limitless.

Didn’t he say “we love you” Shock

thecatfromjapan · 06/01/2021 21:59

He certainly did, Covehid.

Kaitlan Collins @kaitlancollins 6h "If you're gonna be the zero and not the hero, we're coming for you and we're going to have a good time doing it," @DonaldJTrumpJr tells the crowd gathered on the national mall. "I suggest you choose wisely."

Mitch McConnell and Ted Cruz must know this is out of control and that he will continue to incite violence on twitter and/or at rallies and demonstrations. Do they feel any sense of responsibility?

FlatteredRhubardFool · 06/01/2021 22:03

Wtf am I reading and seeing?!

SanFranBear · 06/01/2021 22:04

Fuck... the BBC correspondent has said that after Trumps speech, Trump supporters should go home like he said but the Constitutionists should stay and continue the protest! Its disgraceful!!

SanFranBear · 06/01/2021 22:05

Oooopss... not the correspondent - one of the people at the front at the Capitol... sorry Blush

thecatfromjapan · 06/01/2021 22:07

SanFranBear
The BBC reporter was reporting on what one of the mob said.

(I think you missed a bit as you were typing.)

x-post. 🙂

FGS- is this such a big deal? A bunch of crazies get to run around a building for a bit.

I am in no way downplaying what I've read about someone being shot and being in ICU.

But this is hardly a coup by international standards, is it?

If a bunch of armed thugs forced their way into the Houses of Parliament, a bomb was found and a woman was shot and critically injured, I would feel it was a big deal.

tootyfruitypickle · 06/01/2021 22:11

Has anyone mentioned Jamiroquai trending on Twitter - incredible thread!

pleasefeedthecat · 06/01/2021 22:12

He's going to have to be impeached.

And forcibly restrained with a straitjacket.

I didn't realise a bomb was found! 😳 I'll have to read some more!

@Miljea

Well, it's unprecedented for a country like the US. Can you imagine the houses of Parliament being stormed after a general election, and someone shot, special forces being brought in.

It's unthinkable in a democracy.

And I'm still not seeing a violent mob surging forward to overthrow the capital.
