The USA: Trump-Biden Transition - attempted coup + Trump IMPEACHED (AGAIN!)

[ZenGiraffe]

Why do American Politicans love their oversized props in the chambers?

 

[dUb]

Cool cool cool

 

[Jark]

West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin could be a name you hear a lot over the next two years. He's an outspokenly pro-gun Democrat who voted with Trump more than any other Dem in Congress.

where do they GROW THESE FREAKS?

 

[Madison]

Why do American Politicans love their oversized props in the chambers?

I’ll never forget those poetic words: “We the people Article II. Section 1”

 

[RJN]

Fuck the pledge of allegiance. I never say it

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Cool cool cool

Was this triggered by Trump's speech?

He's literally inciting a coup.

 

[RJN]

Joe manchin isn’t the best but he is the only Democrat who could win West Virginia

 

[Madison]

Have Americans always pronounced the word ‘processes’ as if it rhymes with ‘seas’?

I never noticed it before last year, but it keeps cropping up on political podcasts.

 

[Dark Carnival]

Don’t forget DC.

:emoji_wave:

 

[win_the_game]

Just the close ones. Georgia expected to be the next objection.

I think this is going to tear the Republicans apart, at least in the short term. At least half are going to side with the Democrats on this and accept Biden won, while the objectors play up to the conspiracy theorists in the party base.

The party turned their base into conspiracy theorists by aligning themselves with Trump and the birther lot for four years. They let the genie out of the bottle and have now completely lost control of a large section of their own voters who will not listen to or accept the truth.

It really is mess of their own making and I wouldn’t be surprised if the Democrats just sit back and watch today.

The invasion of the Capital Building has reached the steps of the building in the verge of breaching the door.

 

[RJN]

My sister in dc was just told (by work) that she shouldn’t leave her apartment the rest of the day

 

[jivafox]

LOL

 

[Lucille]

The senate floor is being evacuated!!

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Mike Pence has been evacuated.

Apparently there are protestors in the building.

 

[funky]

Trump caused this. I’ve just been listening to bits of his ‘speech’

 

[Lucille]

I’m sorry how the fuck were they let in the building?!?

 

[win_the_game]

I’m sorry how the fuck were they let in the building?!?

Have you seen the numbers? They've completely overwhelmed any police presence.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

This is literally an attempted coup in the USA initiated by the current President.

 

[VoR]

Ironically, it was a speech by a Republican objector that was interrupted when the Senate was forced to evacuate.

 

[Lucille]

Omg this is EVENT TELEVISION!

 

[AGinAg (37)]

They've opened the doors and they're flocking in!

 

[Dark Carnival]

Imagine how law enforcement would have reacted if that was a crowd of black people

 

[VoR]

THE STATE

 

[win_the_game]

I thought my evenings of watching CNN were over.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I'm listening to astonishing coverage of someone trapped inside.

 

[VoR]

Trump tweets

 

[ButterTart]

A literal anti-democracy protest happening in the capitol building.

Seriously, just open fire on them. They'll not be missed.

 

[Lucille]

I just assumed the Senate would have ARMED GUARDS!?

 

[AGinAg (37)]

This is fucking mental!

 

[RJN]

I am way more upset by this than I thought I would be. I think I might cry. How could it have come to this? Every single person who voted for him is complicit

 

[AGinAg (37)]

There's dozens in there now!

 

[Dark Carnival]

Seriously, just open fire on them. They'll not be missed.

I didn’t dare to go there but... fucking do it!

 

[Madison]

Christ almighty. The amount of security you normally have to go through to get to that statue room.

 

[dmlaw]

Is stopping this sort of thing not the exact reason these psychopaths insist on being armed? A quick warning shot to the head should see them right.

 

[jivafox]

White conservatives can get away with ANYTHING!

 

[RS]

This is absolutely horrifying, but hopefully will turn the Republican party apart for now.

 

[RJN]

Why are they just wandering around in there?

 

[funky]

This is literally an attempted coup in the USA initiated by the current President.

It’s like those reports you read about in Africa or the Middle East and we all watch on agog, safe in our privileged, modernised countries where this sort of thing doesn’t happen......
