I am worried about Trumps sanity. Not that I was y always but his “ go home guys” speech was so bonkers. It’s a new low. And this guy’s got the nuclear codes for 2 more weeks!

chomalungma · 06/01/2021 22:15

I am looking at the official VP account.

@CaveMum

Talking heads on BBC right now calling for Trump to be removed from office with immediate effect. If wishes were horses....
I just saw him encouraging the protesters to march on the Capitol. For this alone he should be arrested immediately.

Apparently the democrats are drafting papers to have Trump impeached. The sooner he's gone, the better.

It would be interesting if GOP votes him out this time.

NoisyBrain · 06/01/2021 22:17

It boggles my mind that this giant fucking toddler with the self-awareness and emotional intelligence of an amoeba can get away with blatantly stirring up his cult members supporters the way he has. And he's STILL fanning the flames with his 'fraudulent election' bullshit!!!

@RaptorInaPorkPieHat

DD (the Twitter literate one) says Mike Pence has unfollowed Trump and changed his cover pic to one of Biden and Harris.
Not what I see at all, no pic of Biden or Harris.

Pences Twitter with the Biden photo

I’m not registered for twitter so can’t see who he follows

For people who don’t understand or claim not to understand what white privilege is.
We saw it today at Capitol Hill.

The CNN coverage is a bit breathless but much better than the BBC’s as they have reporters & camera crews on the ground. BBC is all analysts via Zoom and arms length footage.

Media getting attention of the mob.

Surely there has to be some legal redress for this against Trump and the republicans? It’s terrorism, isn’t it? Please tell me politicians can’t egg on such democracy-killing behaviour and get away with it?

He's still following the POTUS and RealDonaldTrump accounts.

He has changed the heading picture on his personal account (not the VP account).

MyNameIsArthur · 06/01/2021 22:19

It shows you can't take our way of life for granted, and it can take just one person to put it all at risk

AcornAutumn · 06/01/2021 22:20

Oh...does he have two official accounts?

Lweji · 06/01/2021 22:21

VP Pence has a foto of him.

Mike Pence has what looks like a photo of him and wife(?) from the back. I don't think that's Biden and Harris, and certainly not from the election victory speech.

mathanxiety · 06/01/2021 22:21

It's a photo of Pence and his wife.

'Ivanka Trump has deleted her tweet describing the mob that stormed the Capitol as "American Patriots."'

Trump is beginning to resemble Hitler in his last days in the bunker.

MayYouLiveInInterestingTimes · 06/01/2021 22:21

One specific person in a position of power. Look up Julius Caesar!

I think the police response has been good, whether prepared or not: I can't think that it was wholly unprepared. Nothing gung-ho, just shepherding people down, no contact.

Roussette · 06/01/2021 22:21

WTF are the police doing.

Roominmyhouse · 06/01/2021 22:22

This is the pic on pences personal twitter, apparently its him but certainly looks like Biden and Harris so it still sends a message!

I assumed that was Pence himself
