Pro-Trump rioters breach Capitol, forcing lockdown; one person shot...

[PrimeNumber7]

There were too many irregularities in the election for Trump supporters to believe the election was fair.

If you don't want this kind of nonsense, both sides should play by the rules.

So you're basically saying that democrats ran the election? Sad that you are still clinging to the lies of this charlatan in light of his recent actions, which have overwhelmingly exposed his malevolent fraudulence beyond any shadow of a doubt.

Everybody with any sort of actual expertise or official capacity within the scope of the election has said that Trump lost. You are overriding all of this to continue believing in someone who was known to be a pathological liar well before he ever took office. This approaches the very definition of insanity.

I am saying that the rules of the election were not followed. This was the case in many states. Cases were not brought before the election, and the courts did not want to get involved after the fact, potentially invalidating millions of votes.

Trump's legal team was especially bad, as was his messaging. if either was halfway decent, he would have had a shot of the Presidency in the next term.

SIGH.

Rudy Giuliani was trying to call Senator Tuberville (R-AL) and asking him to object to more states in the electoral certification to buy them more time, the only problem was that he called the wrong Senator and the person that he called shared the audio with the media.

What the fuck kind of clownshow coup is this.

So Trump has an idiot legal team. He should not be employing celebrity lawyers, he should be employing people who have in-depth knowledge of the law.

If Trump does end up getting prosecuted, my bet is that Giuliani ends up having his fingerprints on the case.

This nonsense should be condemned in the strongest way possible.

This could be charged as terrorism i imagine?

Yes.

Celebrity lawyers made sense when this whole thing was about generating hype and raising as much money as possible. Not making any sense at all when your goal is to truly try to stay in office as long as possible.

I’d say the reason for this is that Trump trusts Giuliani as he’s been one of the longest serving advisors to him during this time (in an official, and unofficial capacity) and he is one of the people who probably still tells him that he still has a shot at pulling this all off, even when he doesn’t.

Plus ya know, I highly doubt any legal firms want to take up undermining democracy for some money. Seems like an easy way to be shunned from a lot of establishment people because of horrible PR.

he should be employing people who have in-depth knowledge of the law.

None of those people want to represent him as they all know he has no case, which is why he would up with who he did.

When I look at what happened in Washing D.C yesterday as foreigner who lives thousand miles away from USA and has little understanding of American Democratic system, it is reflection of divide between Politicians and Establishment. The democratic system is cracking and it is failing to deliver what people expect from it. Covid-19 has not only severely damaged US Economy but also its Social Fabric. Today America is not what it was yesterday.

I watched this on CNN yesterday and all I heard was "insurrection" "domestic terrorism" "violent rioters" yet I didn't see any buildings in flames afterwards or mass casualties as would be expected from such activities...like the riots in Portland and other places around the US recently.Maybe the flames are being stoked from BOTH sides?

[squatz1]

Yes and No.

Pretty sure that in the beginning of this case the thought process around it was that they were going to try to raise as much money as possible around it. At a certain point in time though Trump really did begin to believe all of the bullshit that people were spewing and thought that there was really no way that he could’ve lost without fraud + his supporters ate all of this up and people believed that there’s no way he could’ve lost.

This opened up a prime opportunity for him to stir up shit and try to really overturn the results. By this point though, he was just swarmed by his most loyal confidants and there was no one who was going to help him in his quest to overturn a free and fair election besides the people that convinced him it was a good idea.

As I say in other threads, lot of speculation going on in my own head here. Let me know if I sound crazy.

I can't believe this happened.  I'm guessing there are going to be some big changes with regards to security practices and politics.  It's really hard to believe that today's events can take place in America today.  It's almost like someone is trying to scare politicians into signing some massive spending bills to put in lots of fancy new security systems in government buildings.  I'm not sure I believe this could happen by accident.

This guy gets it ^^^^

Seriously though, antifa & BLM protests were way wilder than what we saw yesterday. How many people died during those protests? A lot it was probably. How many died yesterday? 1.

Too bad Trump will be held responsible for it  and the dems will try to  jail Trump over this probably.

What about Twitter  They actually banned the president of the United States of fucking America.

They did it!  That was pretty entertaining imo. Lots of people will hate @jack because of this.

Just wait, I guess. If this clown won't give up and still continue with the shits he's been doing, Civil war is not too far to happen. If it happens, then the so called land of dream would be a land of disaster. Oh wait, just few days after New Year right?  Got a long way to go.

I reckon the next time you see these rioting, Trump supporting, imbecile clowns' faces splashed all over the intertoobz,
it wont be them desecrating The US Capitol, it will be mugshots from a prison cell.

Anyone who falls for the games being played out and are deceived have my sympathy because it is designed to deceive but you can't trade facts for wisdom.You can ask and receive it freely if you are worthy of it but it ain't for sale

Four people were killed by the DC police yesterday at the Capitol. One was shot and three died "of natural causes", if you can believe the bullshit.
IMO the other three died of excessive gas inhalation, leading to cardio-pulmonary arrest, but we'll have to wait for more info.
