Member | Wed Jan 06 17:08:02 The Trump Coupers has violently suspended the certification of votes in the presidential election. Congress had to flee and hide. It is also the first time anyone has broken into the Capitol by force since the British Army in 1814. From the link CrownRoyal posted: 18 U.S. Code § 2384 - Seditious conspiracy If two or more persons in any State or Territory, or in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspire to overthrow, put down, or to destroy by force the Government of the United States, or to levy war against them, or to oppose by force the authority thereof, or by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States, or by force to seize, take, or possess any property of the United States contrary to the authority thereof, they shall each be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than twenty years, or both. |

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. Future violations of the Twitter Rules, including our Civic Integrity or Violent Threats policies, will result in permanent suspension of the @realDonaldTrump account. Our public interest policy — which has guided our enforcement action in this area for years — ends where we believe the risk of harm is higher and/or more severe. We’ll continue to evaluate the situation in real time, including examining activity on the ground and statements made off Twitter. We will keep the public informed, including if further escalation in our enforcement approach is necessary. " http://twitter.com/TwitterSafety/status/1346970430062485505 |

Member | Wed Jan 06 20:30:49 Um, not so bad??? Can any one imagine if those "Peaceful" protestors had been black, the police basically stepping aside and allowing them to roam the Capital building at will? Who knows what was taken from Pelosi's office? Was there any sensitive papers left? Hell, I wonder how many actual foreign operatives were among those invading the Capital Building? Nobody was checking to see if they were citizens or were carrying explosives or arms. |
Forwyn
Member | Wed Jan 06 20:52:07 Boohoo. No one cares about your tired race-baiting. Protests against cops should be at the police station. Protests against Congress should be at the capitol. Attacking an unrelated party is worse by default. |

Notable exceptions to denounce the violence* Trump goes a step further and tells people to go home. And the same people pushing for communist riots claim he caused this. |

Member | Wed Jan 06 21:12:11 actually hab, the democrat reaction was to arrest them for 24 hours and then let them go... despite them committing crimes. because they were black and only black lives matter. as far as media narrative goes. and yes, they burned down huge sections of LA and santa monica. long standing businesses. go forever. and leftists dont give a shit. and then get surprised that there is a boiling resentment among people who do give a shit |

This is supposed to be the third most secure building in Washington, no one is talking about the data breach or how long it's going to take #CyberSec to clear. - - We don’t know if foreign agents took part in the looting. Maybe they were searching for something, stole things, maybe they planted bugs. They could have planted bugs anywhere in Capitol. Perhaps even a tactical nuke that can bet set off remotely. |

habebe
Member | Thu Jan 07 16:48:07 tw, Protests often have the point of disrupting. These people have a grievance, which is their right. They are allowed to protest, which is their right. They are not allowes to break windows and humorously take the podium, or make the mess they did. It definitley went to far. considering the police let them in, Im not sure it's trespassing though. Compared to what we have seen over the last year, this was pretty tame. They didnt go in and destroy the place or burnt it. They took selfies with the cops who welcomed them in for a protest. Notice how the media doesnt stress " mostly peacefull" every time they mention it. Instead they liken it to to a coup. However when we had an actual Coup, the thought of bringing cops/NG was " just going to make it worse" because they were democrats. Its hypocrisy to an absurd degree. |
tumbleweed
the wanderer | Thu Jan 07 17:01:51 "considering the police let them in, Im not sure it's trespassing though" the police didn't let them in cops -in one area- seemed to abandon the barricades far from the building... plenty of obvious struggling seen too other areas, & obviously not welcomed inside the building which was occupied... if BLM rioters were invading places of work while workers were inside it would have been treated as much more dangerous and there was no actual coup in Portland & this -was- specifically called "mostly peaceful", i heard it myself... until they invaded... NO different than w/ others (that 'fiery protests' still-frame only works as a still-frame as the video shows "mostly peaceful UNTIL not...") & this one didn't have extended periods of peacefulness during the day, & only turning violent only at night... it was quick to the invasion |

Now again lets be serious and say it was a.bunch wacky liberals and homeless people acting as if they fif something greater than they did. It was hippy commune wanna be, yes.

I don’t know what you think occurred there that has any comparison either |
Y2A
Member | Thu Jan 07 21:58:19 I agree with using force against people who are actually using force against police officers. The problem with the "right" is that everything is conflated together into one big ambiguous "Antifa/BLM". Mainly, I agree with maintaining the democratic order and not having a latin american style banana republic of fascist clown after fascist clown. That is where we are at right now. |
Forwyn
Member | Thu Jan 07 22:01:21 "do you not think that if they would have come into contact with the politicians that people would not have been murdered?" There are very few politicians who probably needed to follow the protocol they did. Pence, Pelosi, McConnell, AOC, Omar come to mind. The rest could very likely chill and nothing would have happened, unless trigger-happy cops shot more people. Guys like Gosar would likely have been cheered and asked for selfies. |
Sam Adams
Member | Thu Jan 07 22:03:20 Ya we are looking down a dangerous road if this drive towards extremism keeps up much longer.

Member | Thu Jan 07 22:25:33 michael tracey: We are being told that a “coup attempt” no longer needs to be understood as constituting an “attempt” to seize control of the government — as had generally been the common understanding of the term before the events of yesterday, which have caused the entire political and media establishment to go completely haywire. Is it unusual for a mob to breach the Capitol Building — ransacking offices, taking goofy selfies, and disrupting the proceedings of Congress for a few hours? Yes, that’s unusual. But the idea that this was a real attempt at a “coup” — meaning an attempt to seize by force the reins of the most powerful state in world history — is so preposterous that you really have to be a special kind of deluded in order to believe it.. At no point yesterday was the American government at risk of being “overthrown,” as members of Congress have laughably suggested. Per usual, our guardians of consensus can’t bring themselves to describe what unfolded with any degree of dispassion or calm. Instead we’re told by the incoming Senate Majority Leader, for example, that January 6, 2021 will now “live in infamy” right alongside December 7, 1941. Elected officials issued emotional notices that they were “okay,” like they had just narrowly avoided being crushed in an earthquake, or escaped the World Trade Center on 9/11. This is made all the more odd because the only person upon whom lethal force was committed appears to have been a Trump-supporting woman who was shot point-blank in the throat by a Capitol Hill police officer. She’s now dead. Congress was temporarily inconvenienced. cont http://mtr...an-attempted-coup-8bb8cc9fb39b so maybe majority of trump supporters are delusional about trump really winning in 2020 but majority of biden supporters are delusional about russia hacking vote tallies in 2016.. and suffer further special education delusion that attempted coup happens yesterday.. [besides being the more deluded party.. democrats have also far overtaken republicans as the party of death now.. i suppose adding chorus of cheers to police execution style shooting is only natural for party of abortion that recently adds to their rosters the cnn/msnbc hired neocons and the jihadi loving deep state monsters i suppose] |

Habebe
Member | Thu Jan 07 22:34:27 TW, CHAZ occupied the Seattle police office IIRC. This is borderline a real coup. I would call it a full on real coup only because they didn't arrest/kill/exile the previous leaders, they did fight them in the streets. But for about 3 weeks they literally kicked out the police and ran it themselves until people started getting killed. And do you recall the Democratic response? Let them go, no arrests and god forbid no NG. Now they bitch because the NG were not there fast enough, which was within hours. Ironically chaz was in "Capitol Hill" neighborhood, so technically they did storm Capitol Hill, Seattle. |
