Let me give you a class on America. First of all the American people will believe whatever they are told. Just reading this Thread I can hear Fox and CNN news. What they don't know is that no matter who's in power nothing will change. Big Pharma big banks wall street has made our Congress there bitch.

Good job Trump, he's not only managed to hand the vehicle to the Dems but with Georgia Senate he's now handed them the steering wheel. Well done. Good job. Atta boy.

Who knew that at the end of the day almost to the final week, it was Trump supporting and encouraging the actual anarchist working to over throw democracy all along. Oh look they're storming a Federal building..maybe we should launch tear gas and shield bashing prison guards . The door couldn't hit this traitor on his ass fast enough. Fucking pathetic and shameful.

You mean as opposed to a flip-flopping New Yorker?

Trump has been locked out of Twitter for 12 hours.... What a way to go out, a minor coup and a twitter ban :S

The current season of America is mental

Puerto Rican nationalist Lolita Lebron stormed the House of Representatives in 1954 with the intent to bring international attention to Puerto Rico’s struggle for independence. While she was sentenced 49+ years she served 25 years. How many will those storming Capitol serve??

Armed, violent insurrectionists *have the door held open for them* after storming the US Capitol. On the door: "MURDER THE MEDIA."

JUST IN: “This is not news we deliver lightly,” @margbrennan
says as she reports: Trump Cabinet secretaries are discussing invoking the 25th Amendment to remove President Trump. Nothing formal yet presented to VP Pence. “I’m talking about actual members of the Cabinet,” she says

Did you ever imagine you'd live to see a headline like this splashed across American TV screens?

Tonight in the Kremlin, Putin is witnessing and realizing his life's mission and goal of fracturing American democracy. Maybe not fatally, but nonetheless the images from U.S. Capitol severely weakens all western democracies as the entire world watches. 1/2

Scroll down for the second post.




Historian of coups and right-wing authoritarians here. If there are not severe consequences for every lawmaker & Trump govt official who backed this, every member of the Capitol Police who collaborated with them, this "strategy of disruption" will escalate in 2021

"I will tell you, Jake, I talked to a source, a GOP source close to the president who speaks with him regularly, and I take no pleasure in reporting this, but this source tells me that he believes the president is out of his mind."

The irony of this photo will not be lost on you. If I’m not mistaken, that’s a portrait of Charles Sumner in the background

John Calhoun as well. Unreal. It took a hundred and sixty years for that piece of shit to make it inside the Capitol and today it finally did it. No arrest or riot police for that fine gentleman. Of course if this was another kind of protestor.....

Literally every Black person who has ever protested right now: ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? They're gonna let white people take over the Capitol but will shoot me to protect a fucking TARGET?

The president, a senior adviser says, has "lost it." He has been almost impossible to talk to throughout the day today, and has been watching the coverage of the Capitol.

Source close to Trump says more resignations are expected in the next 24 hours.

A source close to the White House who is in touch with some of the rioters at the Capitol said it's the goal of those involved to stay inside the Capitol through the night.

So some sort of coordination between the Trump regime and the terrorists.

Lolita is viewed as a heroine here by many. But the injustices and the double standards just reek of, well... just that. Double standards.

[X]

Without going into the politics of Trump, the man himself, or Democrat v Republicans etc .....

Years and years of targeted bot misinformation, lies, chain emails and Twitter/Snapchat memes and tropes, and anger generating stories has brought the enemies of the West their greatest ever victory ..... the people of a (or maybe THE) greatest democracy in the world distrusting and disbelieving in their own electoral democracy.

Truly, Putin, Xi, Khameini and all those other cult of personality demagogues and proto fascists found a willing stooge and have truly dealt their most fundamental and massive blow to the idea of western democracy.

[TitoFan]

Well said, X. There are no winners here. Everyone has lost (well... except for the U.S.'s enemies, who are alternating between rolling on the floor in hysterical laughter... and licking their chops at the prospect of a broken, divided U.S.).

If anyone has the gall of wanting to find something positive in all of this, then I guess the brainwashing process has been more thorough than anyone would've thought.

Hell... even George W. Bush made a rare public statement in which he likened the U.S. today to a "banana republic."

Sad.
