That country will never be able to have an uncontested election again. They don't trust anyone else to come in and moderate it, but they can't moderate it from within because around 50% hate the establishment and are willing to fight against it for their beliefs, while 52% believe fully in it. 

yeah, it's fucked. USA RIP

to be fair you look at what Trump and his supporters are like, and how many votes he got in the official numbers and, if you were worried about your country and it was a pretty close vote you'd probably consider some kind of underhand tactics to make sure they didn't get power for 4 more years right? That's why I can't 100% say there wasn't some kind of fraud and at the same time can't 100% say I disagree with it if there was. Even though I know it's wrong

That said, how long do you think til Biden and the old establishment invade another ME country once they're in power again?  No option is a good one over there

are they really just using small metal barriers ? 😞 

It did look like a pathetic barrier. Now the Trumpets are actually all over the capitol building. Police need to swoop in hard.

Is this on the news? People are storming the capitol

Plenty of that being discharged in the clips above.

Hmm targeting a few individuals on the frontline with spray is a bit different than the launching grenades in to crowds to disperse them like that was happening at the BLM marches. 

No rubber bullets to be seen here either. No wonder they’re managing to completely bypass the police presence and storm/scale the building.

It was what we were expecting, watching CNN at the moment (don't tell the boss, I'm supposed to be working)

I’m just watching various clips, but they’re actually in the building right now:

Got it now. Wait until the DC police arrive to support the Capitol Police. That'll be fun. National Guard have been mobilised as well from what I remember.

sky news saying they have let them in ? 

[Billy Corgan's Ego]

This is truely remarkable, even relative to the last 4 years of lunacy in this shambolic country

Bloody hell

I didn't expect this, I'll be honest. Not after the election seemed to have relatively little trouble.

All getting proper naughty

I thought it would happen then too, but was also expecting it around this time in the lead up to the inauguration.  Trump has gone even further than I thought he would to remain president and so his base are more riled up than ever. 

[squirrelarmy]

It’s pretty much the equivalent of storming the Bastille, Reichstag or Winter Palace. Would never expect to see this in the modern age. 

[Lycra]

The actions of Trump over the last few days are impeachable in their own right. First attempting to coerce officials, now incitement to riot!

[Tranquility of Solitude]

Not what the rest of the world needs right now. I hate that orange prick so much.

[kalifire]

This is absolutely insane. It's also the true end of the Trump era. He'll never be elected to anything again after this.
