The fucktards are now saying that the mob is Antifa disguised. Oh my. 

Of course they are. At no point am i excepting many to have a sudden outbreak of decency here, and that orange nutter will use this to further his course.

At times like these, I have to have hope. I love America, I love Americans. In my heart, I know they are better than this. Think it might have been Michelle Obama who said, when they go low, we go high.

Surely the police in some way were involved in allowing that to happen, either whoever made the decision to have so few there or those who were there with their half hearted attempts at stopping them

John King calling QAnon QAckpots proper made me lol just then

[ShakeyCrash]

That’s it, final straw. You asked for it Trump!

Along with the Republican senators who were objecting as much as possible to delay the proceedings to allow time for the protesters to storm the building.

And the lack of dispersal action ... although possibly leaving it has been the best outcome rather than stoking the fire 🔥....

They need to throw the book at Trump. He cannot be allowed to just go away. He has to be punished for what he has done.

My feelings exactly. This very evening I was riding high on the (projected) outcome in Georgia and I was dancing around the kitchen to my "USA" playlist - enjoying all of the music I love from a country that has had a greater influence on my life than any other. And then this all happened. It was quite the crash back to earth.

Have just spoken to my best friend over there and she was consoling me 😂 it was at that point I realised I need to get a grip, and go to bed.

I feel sorry for the police in this, that doesn't look like a fun job

@Lizzim I completely, wholeheartedly agree. But I think America... well Biden really.... need to be very careful how they proceed now. Clearly a very large proportion of the American electorate voted for him, and what he stands for. It’s like Brexit on steroids. With guns.

This is absolutely insane. 

Also it's really sad that on a day when the news should have all been the Georgia successes it's now about some knobheads storming the Capitol.

That was my first thought when I read Lizzim's post, but actually you can't keep ignoring this behaviour as it normalises it. There has to be some consequences. If they just try to look the other way out of fear it gets worse, it will get worse.

Really? You should have told us that before.
