Trump supporters storming Congress [split topic]

[sirhenry]

Apparently there are currently more US troops in Washington DC than in Afghanistan and Iraq combined[nb]Afghanistan and Iraq combined would be the perfect excuse Biden needs in three and a half years to send in troops and win the next election - you read it here first![/nb].

[druss]

The time keeping is fucked on this, watch about an hour of debating and when they ask how much time each side has left they've each only lost about 3 minutes.

[BritishHobo]

Christ these Republicans getting up are such disingenuous cunts. Endless stream of shit non-arguments.

[Ferris]

Just get on with it. Get on with it!

[druss]

Fucking hell this Democrat old cunt has been speaking for about five minutes and said about six words, I swear they said he had one minute.

[druss]

He's still going wtf is happening. They definitely said he had one minute.

I have.....never....heard....any....one...ever...speak......so..........slow

[Ferris]

Intrigue.

Democratic members of Congress on Wednesday accused unnamed Republicans of giving tours of the Capitol to insurrectionists ahead of last week's deadly siege of the Capitol, as federal agencies opened two new investigations into the extent to which Capitol Police and far-right lawmakers were complicit in the mob attack.

The inspector general of the Capitol Police is opening a potentially wide-ranging investigation into security breaches connected to the siege that could determine the extent to which some Capitol Police officers were involved, according to a senior congressional aide with direct knowledge of the investigation. The inspector general will suspend all other projects until the investigation is complete, the aide said.

Three officers have been suspended, and 17 others are under investigation by the force's Office of Professional Responsibility.

This is life now, just this man speaking forever.

[druss]

Maybe he thinks he has 1 hour and not one minute.

[Alberon]

Maybe it just feels like an hour.

Meanwhile, Mitch McConnell signals again that Trump should probably be convicted.

Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell has just said the following in a memo to colleagues.

"While the press has been full of speculation, I have not made a final decision on how I will vote and I intend to listen to the legal arguments when they are presented to the Senate," he said.

The Senate will only stage a trial if the House votes shortly to impeach. The trial probably won't happen before Mr Trump leaves office.

For the Republican Senate Majority Leader to say that means there's a strong chance Trump will be convicted this time, but it won't happen until he leaves office next week.

get trump fucked. just get him fucked!

Wouldn't put it past our Mitch for this to just be a bit of grandstanding and for him to oppose impeachment.

[Pearly-Dewdrops Drops]

McConnell is obviously just baiting them into wasting a bunch of time on this meaningless garbage instead of confirming cabinet pickets, et cetera

The Democrat leadership are extremely dumb, so..

[Pseudopath]

Ha ha! Probably the most-statesmanlike speech he's ever made, but what a cuck: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hDNiNdsPHNA

Of course every loon on The Donald is convinced it's a deepfake.

[idunnosomename]

wow thats a lot of pictures on that table. waiting for it to collapse

ugh his hands together look like an udder. gross

[Alberon]

Lumping the BLM protestors in with the Capitol Building invaders again. Also throwing his MAGA supporters under the bus and then ending with unsubtle pleading to have his social media restored.

To be fair, it looks a bit like one. It's more likely a combination of poor depth of field and shitty compression, but it does look weird.

donald trump always looks like a deepfake

[Noodle Lizard]

It's not the first time I've been shocked by the quality of video content from The White House. It always looks green-screened, for some odd reason.

[Sonny_Jim]

Probably because it is green screened.  The White house has a 'secure' media room for addressing the public in times of crisis, apparently Donald uses it all the time.

[evilcommiedictator]

Some wag on the twitter has called the "day of pigs". Quite like that

[Mister Six]

What's Shapiro got against Pauline Kael? Other than her being an intelligent woman. I can't imagine he's a massive Cassavetes fan.

[jobotic]

I know I know I know that it's the desired affect but all this comparing Corbyn to Trump is making me want to curl up and die.
