"Just insane There is footage of the police letting them in and taking selfies with them. Its basically an armed coup endorsed by the president via Twitter. Still I suppose that's what happens when you let a lying sociopath do as he pleases." I can't shake the feeling that something more sinister is going on. | |||

Its just madness what he gets away with.He was caught in tape pushing for electoral fraud and it's barely acknowledged. The scary thing is how close we were allied to that fucking lunatic. | |||

"BBC News reporting that the Capitol building is now secure." Good. Now arrest and prosecute these fuckers to the fullest extent of the law. All of them, including those in power who incited them. Protest is permissible and is the sign of a healthy democracy. Overrunning government buildings and suspending lawful application of democratic processes is not speech, it is violence. | |||

"Its mad even over here how divided we are. People saying the police were over the top,certainly not from what I've seen. I think thanks to trump,we live in an age where the truth simply doesn't exist. If you dont like it.Simply deny it." People are reposting pictures of the police presence with BLM. If there had been half as many police there today this wouldn't have happened. | |||

If that happened in some 3rd world country, you wouldnt believe it."State rights is a right wing American thing - don't have the feds interfere etc. But what's good for the goose is good for the gander. State law enforcement also applies to the right breaking the law  | |||

I very much hope so. this could only be the beginning though I really hope they can get him out somehow rather than leaving him there to do as he wishes for 14 more days. I think if his family have any future political ambitions they'll get him to go as quietly as possible. But you're right this doesn't feel completely over yet. Fuck knows what he will do next. Guantanamo Bay?" I could see someone taking a shot at him or Biden. It's shocking state for any country to be in,let alone the biggest so called democracy in the world. | |||

I suspect he'll be off Twitter sharpish once he's out of office. I bet he's having a tantrum | |||

"Hes blocked on twitter now. Hahaha What trump? 12 hour lock according to a tweet I just saw Ohhh interesting. " The Guardian quotes Twitter: “As a result of the unprecedented and ongoing violent situation in Washington, D.C., we have required the removal of three @realDonaldTrump Tweets that were posted earlier today for repeated and severe violations of our Civic Integrity policy,” the Twitter Safety account said in a tweet thread. “This means that the account of @realDonaldTrump will be locked for 12 hours following the removal of these Tweets. If the Tweets are not removed, the account will remain locked.” The social media giant added, “Future violations of the Twitter Rules, including our Civic Integrity or Violent Threats policies, will result in permanent suspension of the @realDonaldTrump account.” | |||

If you believe Trump, then they're defending democracy against the evils of the Democrats. Would I stand up for democracy if I believed such a thing? I might. It's awful that it's coming to this.
