Trump throwing his toys out of the pram

It's just dreadful now.
I am awaiting the news that Trump himself has fallen out of his pram.

Watch CNN. "We would be roosting this if it happened in Belarous,,,,"

“Roosting” ? confused

His son addressing the crowd and saying its not your Republican party its Donald Trumps republican party shortly followed by a woman supporter saying there will be war ..surely the police can do something to get these folk off the streets

This is now being called an attempted armed coup by Trump and his followers

Anarchy in Washington DC

Grannynannywanny Wed 06-Jan-21 20:32:29

Shocking scenes in Washington. I’m watching CNN

It looks like a country on the verge of civil war.

Whitewavemark2 Wed 06-Jan-21 20:40:48

Trump must be arrested.

Iam64 Wed 06-Jan-21 20:40:54

It’s an armed stand off paddyanne. I’m not sure how the police can disperse the crowd without armed riot, ie civil war.
As President, does Trump still act as officer in chief to the military and national guard?

Whitewavemark2 Wed 06-Jan-21 20:45:46

Where is the army?

Something to think about.

If Trump loses both houses it is as sure as night follows day that there will be democrats who go after Trump. There has been a suggestion that Trump will stand down for the last week and Pence as president will pardon Trump??.

Actually I don’t know why I’m laughing as politics is so crazy these days.

Do you think DT has the intelligence to come up with this?

Grannynannywanny Wed 06-Jan-21 20:52:13

According to CNN the National Guard are on the way. Multiple police officers are injured

Whitewavemark2 Wed 06-Jan-21 20:54:06

Let this be a lesson to all those who support populist governments.

varian Wed 06-Jan-21 20:59:01

If Trump is too cowarxly to speak up then surely there are some decent Republican leaders who can call this trechery what it is.

Whitewavemark2 Wed 06-Jan-21 21:02:16

I can’t see this ending today. What on earth are they going to do on the 20th?

Grannynannywanny Wed 06-Jan-21 21:05:08

How have they managed to get right in through the building? There’s a photo of one of them posing in speaker Nancy Pelosi’s office with his feet on the desk

Whitewavemark2 Wed 06-Jan-21 21:06:57

Biden speaking

Whitewavemark2 Wed 06-Jan-21 21:09:29

Biden accuses Trump of inciting violence

Hetty58 Wed 06-Jan-21 21:19:30

I can't wait for him to be arrested. It's time he got his just deserts!

Jane43 Wed 06-Jan-21 21:23:06

Guiliani and Donald Trump Junior should also be arrested for inciting violence. Despicable people driven by self interest.

Jane43 Wed 06-Jan-21 21:25:26

Well the few Trump supporters on here have gone very quiet. I would like to know how they could possibly justify what has gone on and is going on.

Whitewavemark2 Wed 06-Jan-21 21:25:57

Does anyone remember when the BLM protested peacefully and the level of police numbers.

What happened today. They have known for days if not weeks that this was going to happen Trump has been talking about it for ever.

Where are the police? Even after 6 hrs, the break in of the Capital, violence and sedition.

WHERE ARE THE POLICE?

AmberSpyglass Wed 06-Jan-21 21:26:55

This is absolutely terrifying. It’s a coup, pure and simple.

SueDonim Wed 06-Jan-21 21:29:15

I feel sick to my stomach but cannot turn off the TV. My son and his family live in America - I never thought I’d be witnessing an attempted coup in the home of modern democracy. ?
