    If they were black they'd be shot.

    Just saying.

    We can hardly talk after recent events to be fair.



    I'd say Trump and his crew and stirring the pot big time.

    Trump tweeting “stay peaceful” to the protesters - he should be tweeting “go home, grow up, I lost”.

    Typical Trump. Posting on boards instead of calling off his coup.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,372 ✭✭✭LessOutragePlz


    Absolutely nuts, but how they didn't have enough cops/security to deal with the crowd?

    Or did they assume it would be a small crowd either way it's a monumental fvck up.

    It will take them a while to return to the ceremony of confirming Biden's votes as they will have to clear the building by sweeping the whole thing.

    Law and Order on the side of Trump. Corrupt fake media won't be happy.

    Trump tweeting “stay peaceful” to the protesters - .

    It's amazing how not one of the Irish reps yapping about the Clonee shooting at any stage appealed for calm, yet they class themselves as morally superior to Trump.

    How do you know some of them are not black. On an earlier RTE report today RTE's US correspondent was chatting with the protesters. One was a young black woman. You can see this i'm sure on the upcoming 9oc news.


    BTW DT has a lot of black supporters.

    Two departments there requested the national guard, hasn't been granted yet.

    Yeah I've read that apparently one of the excuses for the request not being granted is that the optics of having uniformed soldiers in the capitol building won't be good but the optics are in the sh1tter right now with the photos of those protesters roaming around freely inside.

    Predicted to happen weeks ago, but some people preferred to live in denial. Frankly, it not going to end here today or tomorrow. Trump militant supporters are now ready to bring it all down.

    The Capitol is the centre of their democracy. Plenty of cops with guns there. You need to line up and go through metal detectors to get in. It's grand when you get in the door alright but even then there will be a cop in every room and a few standing to the side of the larger halls.



    If they can't guarantee safety to democratically elected representatives then it doesn't look the best. Even if it is only a "token" demonstration. The fact that anything is happening there is not a good look.

    Since DC isn't a State, the authority to activate the National Guard in DC lies with the US President.

    Will turn nasty no doubt when SWAT decide enough is enough.

    They had no problem ringing the Capitol complex with Guardsmen for BLM Antifa.

    Any DoD official who stands in the way of a deployment now will go to jail.

    Edit: McInsaney statement that Trump has federalised the NG and sent them to the Capitol. Big whoop.

    DC under curfew at the minute. Well from 6pm


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,921 ✭✭✭buried


    Seems like you better not bomb or invade Afghanistan. Any regime or nation that has done so has collapsed up into its own arse not long after doing so. Last one was the USSR. Now we can add AmeriKKKa to the list.

    It isn't. One has been announced for 6pm local time. 2 hrs and 19 minutes from now.

    I imagine City workers are using this time to get the eff out of Dodge.

    The take over of America by communists will have to wait. People are awake to the mass produced media and what they're trying to do.

    Reported. Bye.

    These people are idiots. What exactly was the plan once they got inside?

    Most Trump supporters, while understandably frustrated at losing the election, would not support this kind of behaviour. The Republicans are supposed to be the law and order party. Doing this kind of thing is stooping to Antifa's level.

    At least CNN will finally be able to show something resembling violence by Trump supporters. It's the day they've been waiting for for 4 years.
