Mob storms Capitol

[JayMysteri0]

All I know is there some sweet irony that Kamala Harris will be VP that cons were screaming was too tough on crime, while there is a 45 executive order about 10 years of prison time for protesting / vandalizing / destroys gov't property, is some sweet irony.

I'm sure the image of a PoC leading the charge to arrest & imprison White protestors patriots will go over really well.

In the end, proven to be the 'deplorables' they cried they weren't.

Meanwhile no one is running the store. WH Counsel Pat Cipollone reportedly told staffers to stay away from Trump, ostensibly to avoid entanglement in possible legal difficulties re what is a coup attempt, for instance. Legally unless Pence wishes to get on board a 25A removal effort, he's limited to breaking ties in a Senate his party will no longer control as soon as Georgia certifies the elections of Warnock and Ossoff (presumably inside of a few days) which is another interesting spin off of a lengthy transition period and the coincidence of a couple of runoff races for the US Senate. But we all know there is no such thing as a vacuum of power. Someone steps up even if remaining behind a curtain. It's probably not Mikey, or not quite yet anyway. Time to decide, man.

“They’re Being Told to Stay Away From Trump”: After a Day of Violence and 25th Amendment Chatter, Trump’s Allies Are Jumping Ship

White House Counsel Pat Cipollone is reportedly warning West Wing staffers to avoid Trump for legal reasons, and even Stephen Miller thought Wednesday was atrocious. Will Mike Pence bring out the big guns?

Listening to experts such as https://twitter.com/AfricanaCarr and https://twitter.com/ItsNeeTay talk about the fact that systemic racism is the root cause of this. When the radio broadcast is archived tomorrow, I will post it.

As a DC resident, I couldn’t get any work done yesterday because terrorists have taken over my town and the President seems to have ordered the DHS to let them get away with it. I cannot feel peace until Jan 20, and if Biden doesn’t aggressively pursue every last one of the perpetrators, I will not be very supportive of him going forward.

The FBI wants input from events of yesterday and related docu.

Many of these people bragged about this on social media. They should be quite easy to find. They could also get pictures of every terrorist and put them on the no-fly list. They flew into DC and probably will be flying home shortly. Or are only Muslims allowed to be on that list?

At this point fuck Trump, his family, his political enablers, and his supporters and whatever hypothetical threat they may pose. We’ve pathetically coward to them for way too long. Does anybody actually think that after yesterday a good percentage of them are going “OK, that was enough I guess. We should let it go.”? Those who did flip their opinion after yesterday, and only because of yesterday, weren’t there yesterday, physically or in spirit. Those who were will continue with their bullshit regardless of if we let Trump slide or not. A majority of the country (and world) is appalled by what happened yesterday and there’s no “calm down and stop overreacting” response to it.

I saw a headline earlier saying the airline industry wants these people banned from flying. They do clearly pose a threat to any reasonable person. They're probably not going to blow up a plane or highjack it, but no doubt will attempt to stir shit up.

This makes me so sad and angry.

Van Jones: 'You just sent the best message or the worst to a whole generation' | CNN

Van Jones discusses the riot at the US Capitol and what message the police reaction sends to young people about racial disparity in the US.

Every single person that breached the Capitol needs to do jail time, period. A message needs to be sent that this is totally unacceptable. Letting any of them off sends a message to the rest of the terrorists.

I think they would blow up a plane. If they are nuts enough to wear civil war shirts and break into the Capitol, then they are capable of anything. They are officially radicalized and need to spend a long time behind bars.

Right and there's no one currently in power reassuring us that this jackass Trump can't just do whatever he wants, until and unless the VP and cabinet and/or Congress FIX THAT SITUATION.

So as far as we know at this moment, Trump is still the sitting president of the USA, endowed with monumental powers and privileges including special treatment for himself and his family, for instance, in the event of an attack on him or the nation. And he has access to our intel and our nuke codes and god knows what else.

Even Boris has managed to grow a pair this afternoon.
----

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has said President Trump was "completely wrong" to encourage a mob of protesters to storm the Capitol building in DC."

"In so far as he encouraged people to go to Congress, and in so far as the President has consistently cast doubt on the outcome of a free and fair election, I believe that to be completely wrong," Boris Johnson said in a press conference.
"I unreservedly condemn encouraging people to behave in the disgraceful way they did in the Capitol."

Nah, if he had a pair he'd have picked up the phone and said WTF man resign already you're a disgrace to the club.
