President Trump and US politics catchall

woman protestor shot in the neck; doesn't look good, but she's in hospital now.

I won't repost the video.

Decent statement by Biden

It was. I was kind of heart in mouth hoping he wasn’t going to topple over dead the whole way through though

Trump responds to Bidens appeal to make a statement by posting a 1 minute video on twitter of which 50 seconds is complaining about the rigged election

[fishfoodie]

the cowardly shit releases a twitter video & says nothing useful

Even by Trump's standards that's lame

She will be pronounced dead. Not often someone in a pre-hospital traumatic arrest survives.

CNN calling it what it is - insurrection, attempted coup.

They will restart the session today if there's any way they can, will Ted Cruz and the other loonies keep objecting?

GOP just referred to as a nihilistic death cult on CNN

and there were significant Republicans calling the lack of a proper statement from the WH a, 'cowardice'; but that was when they were cowering under their desks.

what will they say when it counts !

Yeah, very interesting to see what Cruz and his band of cunts do now. They have a way out now - we don’t want any more violence-, you would expect them to take it...

Pence has unfollowed Trump onTwitter and changed the background on his own account to a picture of Biden and Harris.

I mean, the cunt has been enabling Trump for 4 years but that’s quite a statement

Cori Bush, a Democrat congresswoman from Missouri, has said she will introduce a resolution calling for the expulsion of Republican members who have “incited this domestic terror attack through their attempts to overturn the election.” and Ilhan Omar, the Democrat congresswoman from Minnesota, is drawing up articles of impeachment for Trump:

“Donald J. Trump should be impeached by the House of Representatives & removed from office by the United States Senate. We can’t allow him to remain in office, it’s a matter of preserving our Republic and we need to fulfill our oath.”

Force the pricks to either vote for, or against the Democracy that they swore an oath only days ago to uphold.

[Edit] I hope this ends in everyone in the DNC's mind; any thoughts that this scum should be allowed to leave without facing conequences

To be fair to Mitch McConnell, he too has decided to defend the constitution rather than Trump. He tore Cruz and his band of cunts a new one before the session was interrupted:

"But my colleagues, nothing before us proves illegality anywhere near the massive scale — the massive scale — that would have tipped the entire election. Nor can public doubt alone justify a radical break, when the doubt itself was incited without any evidence. The constitution gives us here in Congress a limited role. We cannot simply declare ourselves a national board of elections on steroids.

The voters, the courts and the states have all spoken. They’ve all spoken. If we overrule them, it would damage our republic forever.

This election actually was not unusually close. Just in recent history, 1976, 2000, and 2004 were all closer than this one. The electoral college margin is almost identical to what it was in 2016. If this election were overturned by mere allegations from the losing side, our democracy would enter a death spiral. We’d never see the whole nation accept an election again. Every four years would be a scramble for power at any cost. The electoral college, which most of us on this side have been defending for years, would cease to exist, leaving many of our states with no real say at all in choosing a president. The effects would go even beyond the elections themselves."

Four fucking years too late !

Predictably Fox are blaming the cops for not being prepared .....

Fuck McConnell and Pence. They're finding out just what (Godwin alert!) the industrialists who aligned with Hitler to keep the Communists out of their factories found out. He may be of use to you for a while, but at some point you realise you hitched your wagon to a lunatic and he'll burn you and the country in a second if you get in his way.

Be quicker to work with Pence to invoke 25th Amendment

Interestingly, it was Pence and not Trump who approved the deployment of the National Guard, contrary to the earlier lies from Trump's press secretary that he had done so.

The acting secretary of defense, Christopher Miller, said in a statement that he discussed the deployment of National Guard troops to the Capitol with Mike Pence, not Donald Trump.

“Chairman Milley and I just spoke separately with the Vice President and with Speaker Pelosi, Leader McConnell, Senator Schumer and Representative Hoyer about the situation at the U.S. Capitol,” Miller said in the statement.

“We have fully activated the D.C. National Guard to assist federal and local law enforcement as they work to peacefully address the situation. We are prepared to provide additional support as necessary and appropriate as requested by local authorities.”

Too short (though I think he is a Trump supporter, the twat) ... football forumer said it's Robbie Savage, which is a pretty good shout.


These utter cunts, though!? Not just the stormers, but Trump and all his boot lickers must go asap...

Absolutely !

If any member votes against confirming the properly certified & in what 50 odd court cases confirmed results; there should be immediate votes to exclude these members for breaking their oath of office.

Strictly speaking neither Pence nor Trump are needed to deploy the DC guard. By law, the decision resides solely with the Secretary of Defense.

However, it sounds like even if the 25th hasn't actually been invoked, it's been virtually invoked.

there is a small bad part of me that is finding this hilarious...

apols to any Americans on here who are distraught at the scenes...

The level of delusion and lack of self awareness amongst American pundits is something to behold.

I guess they have to keep up this pretence of America being "the shining city on the hill" but it is not and probably never has been a model democracy or society and very few people actually buy into this mythology any more.

[Raggs]

Dire.

[dpedin]

Trump has been a godsend for the Democrats - he has now lost the Presidency and both houses for the republicans. He has also split the Republican party and the schism will only increase now over the next year as the moderates and the Loony Trump fringe fight out who controls the party. As the recriminations start and the real story of inside the WH emerge as more and more of those who sold their souls for Trump seek redemption and avoid prosecution it will get increasingly fractious.

Pull up your seat, grab a beer and some popcorn and enjoy the show, it starts tomorrow!

PS Where are all the UK based Trump supporters now? They all seem to have gone back underneath their rocks!

Shit was out by 12 hours, the shitshow started early!

You'd have thought with all the post election coups the US have been involved with this one would've gone better!
