Trump supporters storming Congress [split topic]

[Cuellar]

Virginia and DC National Guard on their way, yes boys

[sirhenry]

So does pepper spray innoculate against covid? That would be gloriously ironic.

[idunnosomename]

this is a great season finale, loving it

[Alberon]

The question now is how committed are the rioters? How well armed are they? What will they do when faced by the National Guard?

National guard to be deployed. "For an hour".

from that link (thanks):

Defense officials, who have been resistant to getting dragged into politics, initially offered instead to replace police in other capacity, allowing more law enforcement to respond at the Capitol, the defense official said.

Before Wednesday afternoon, the Pentagon had sought to keep the military response to pro-Trump protests small, still smarting from outcry to a much larger military response in June to protests in the District following the police killing of George Floyd. Defense officials had activated 340 D.C. guardsmen, with 170 on duty at a time.

The gent with the horns will lean forward and scuff at the ground with his feet.

Surrender.

Mike Pence has unfollowed Trump on Twitter :(

Trump will ask them to leave the building, which they will do and then be hailed as a 'normal person' after all. Will they get prosecuted? Trump will probably try to pardon them.

[idunnosomename]

Surrender.

and not get shot

Shit just got real.

Immediately shit themselves and surrender like the bunch of milquetoast crybabies they are.

I don't know if this is a joke or not. That's 2021!

[Thomas]

I've got Sky News on (the streams without pundits died on me) - they're saying at least one IED has been discovered on the grounds.

[imitationleather]

They're making this ill-looking old guy president?!

[Quote]

Trump and Biden should settle this with an arm-wrestle.

On a wet Wednesday evening at Chesterfield?

[druss]

Jesus Christ, is Biden pissed? Insipid.

[Jittlebags]

Who'd have thunk it? US a failed state.

[Thomas]

Biden doing his 'aliens have invaded and we must stand together' movie president speech.

Whenever a US politician mentions the USA's proud history of democracy, you can hear the entirety of South America roll its eyes.

[Cuellar]

Does that matter anymore?

Fair point

[Jittlebags]

Wonder if this will prompt the Republicans to excise the Trump Cancer? Probably not.

he isn't following RealDonaldTrump but maybe he never did?

They were caught on the hop and didn't have the time to load Biden up on stimulants and anti-dementia shots.

[DrGreggles]

Barry Gibb should be ashamed of himself...

[Inspector Norse]

What are they up to now? Is everyone just standing around waiting to be herded into a van by the National Guard?

[Inspector Norse]

Jesus Christ, is Biden pissed?

Come on, if you were celebrating getting confirmed as President you'd be fucking SCUPPERED

[Junket Pumper]

Disgusting, frightening scenes. If Trump had a conscience he'd be apologising and begging them to stop, but obviously he won't.

Got to say it's pretty funny to see supporters of the ANTIFA / BLM riots crying about this. Trump supporters saw cities burning and people being killed for weeks with no real condemnation. Wonder where they got the idea that rioting was okay
