I take some heart from these events. Which might seem an odd thing to say when they are so disgraceful. The bulk of GOP voters are decent people who have been seduced by Trump and prepared to put up with his style in the interests of their political agenda. They will be every bit as appalled by the violence as everyone else. They aren't all red necks looking for an excuse to riot. If, as I think they will, they will think this as a step too far. The Republican Senators will doubtless speak out against it, showing unity with their Democratic opponents. It might, just might, mean that for some at least the healing may well begin earlier than was previously hoped. There will always be some nut cases. There always have been. It's just that they have been given encouragement by the idiot in the WH. Finding some way to keep him quiet after the 20th is the biggest problem. Don't rule anything out after today. How long before they demand a recount over todays senate election, that victory was vital for the democrats and thankfully they won, can have some real change over there now, times they are achanging!

As has already been pointed out, this is a paid actor. So when there was the BLM post, that's his genuine belief, but now that it's clear that he's supported the right and QANON for a year or years, he's a 'paid actor'?

Give it a rest. I don't remember any outrage from you when Anitfa were allowed to run riot night after night all over the US. But don't let that mess with your righteousness. I can't have you getting all upset. Antifa didn’t storm the capitol building like a coup attempt in a banana republic.
Trump lost. Badly. Hahahahahahaha. |

There goes that story then! There could be 1000 corrected stories like this and it'd just be 'onto the next one'. It's a worry to be taken in so easily, and people don't question it because his comments are at least supporting the 'right side'. That's literally the entry level for non scrutiny if you're saying 'the right thing', zero.. nothing. Consider that the next time you're in a debate. It's not about the merits or otherwise of what you're saying, it's an attempt to sell an outlook. That isn't a discussion. The more niche or fringe the worldview the less good faith the whole 'discussion' is, which is why nothing posted to counter it matters.

Perhaps he should be locked up for expressing an opinion? Maybe this could be the kind of reset you hope for? Clamp down on free-speech? Got the perfect excuse now. Just think, that rabble managed to get all the way into the US Senate. Shows how dangerous free speech truly is. Now is the best time to start putting a halt on that. Breaking and entering is not free speech.

How nice to see a variety of posters supporting the ‘progressive’ viewpoint on the HOL. It so makes a change.

Today has been interesting tv, handbag stuff, except for one poor lady shot dead. Trump bares responsibility for leading her to the building and stoking the fire! Today has been a great day for democracy, the Democrats won the two seats needed to gain control of the senate, Smokin Joe can wield real power, make changes, a great day indeed! Democracy has won the day, God bless the united states of America!

I very much doubt he feels guilty about anything. He is largely responsible for the events of today even taking place, and has emboldened the type of person who would commit such acts. I hope he is enjoying his grand finale. He's now managed to make even his own party members worry for their personal safety. Aside from wackos and domestic terrorists in the making, the 'marriage of convenience' and party specific support for him will now all but disappear. He will wake up on 20th to a reality that rewards him for his 'service to his country'. Edited by BlueJay (06 Jan 2021 11.31pm)
