Counting is not really a strong suit for them. We’ve seen that over the last few months.

Math doesn't add up for Trump, in crowd numbers or in Election, no matter how many times he screams

I won a math's debate!
I won a math's debate!

Does this look like a billion people to anyone?

Never mind a billion - it's also nowhere near a million! Looks maaaybe about 50 to 100,000 - or in recognisable visual terms, about one Slane castle concert. Which is impressive enough in fairness, until you go claiming it's 10 times bigger. But I guess they reeeeally wanted the alliteration...

Watching his speech live.
Disastrous, rambling, conspiracy nonsense. Highlight is using the phrase 'BS' leading to the crowd chanting it back.

He sounds like a drunk in a bar talking about how wronged he has been at his job, by his wife and life in general.

Contradicting himself within the same sentences, tried to mock Mitt Romney through mimicry.

Surely the lowest point in the history of the office of the President of the United States of America in terms of diplomacy and imagery.

100,000 is more than enough to be worrying if a subset has a hankering for violence. The likes of Antifa would do well to sit this one out because violent Trump supporters wouldn't know what to do if they didn't have Antifa to justify their actions. But because Antifa is a decentralised organisation (and I use that term loosely), I'm sure the 'black bloc' will be along to bait the other side. It's basically America's equivalent of football hooliganism at this stage, except that, AFAIK, football firms weren't so big on guns.

Well......

He still voted for Trump and Perdue and Loeffler and would do so again if given the opportunity.

All that we can say about Sterling , along with Kemp and Raffensberger that at least they actually have a line that they won't cross , unlike Trump.

They are all still OK with voting for him and with doing the standard issue GOP voter suppression and/or gerrymandering stuff , but at least they won't commit actual fraud. It's something I guess.

But, we shouldn't be lauding them for not being criminals.

I think you're being a bit unfair.

No one is saying they shouldn't be and vote as the Republicans that they are. And by the way, we have no idea how they voted. We know for instance that many registered Republicans voted for Biden nationwide.

What all those three people are doing however, is telling truth to power under tremendous pressure from an unhinged and tyrannical White House of their own party, while seeing their families and themselves being subjected to terrifying personal abuse and threats to their safety, from fascist subversive groups across America.

Thats how bad things are. Thats what I'm lauding them for doing.

PS, just look at Trumps remarks in the last few moments. Frightening.

Ending his presidency how he started it, lying about the number of people that showed up in DC

Literally.
In his speech, going on now, he said he wished they'd turn the cameras around to show the hundreds of thousands of people who are there all the way back to behind the Washington Monument. You can hear individual voices from the crowd when they cheer.

Worlds biggest loser.

Timberrrrrrrr · 06-01-2021 05:33PM

Did I hear Trump correctly there when he said he will lead the protest down to where the EC vote is going to take place?

Larbre34 · 06-01-2021 05:33PM

The entire population of Continental North and South America, i.e 35 nations from the tip of Arctic Canada to Cape Horn, including the Caribbean islands, is 1.001 billion. Hilarious.

Trump says a lot of things. He said he was going to put Hillary in jail, but then went, "Nah...", afterward.

Arizona objected, of course.

This will take all night.

There's gonna be a lot of pointless walking back and forth and debate. Such unnecessary drama.

what an absolute disgrace.

At least, both Pence and McConnell are holding fast to the Constitution which is a relief...

They are in extreme damage control mode, they can see the trump fallout destroying the GOP

I’ve been listening to Mitch McConnell speaking in the senate and bar a few buzz words about the democrats and the medja being against us it’s clear that he thinks the whole thing by his senate colleagues is a very bad move and his remarks so far will not please trump.

"not please trump" is the understatement of the year so far... Trump will be absolutely LIVID! This is basically a massive chasm that has opened up between Tru mp and the GOP! Pence and Mc Connell have cut him adrift on a raft of lies of his own making..

TomOnBoard · 06-01-2021 07:05PM

Protestors have now broken through the barriers below the Capitol steps and have moved onto those steps.. Police are holding them back... For now!

Water John · 06-01-2021 07:11PM

Sen Toomey had an excellent speech on the fundamentals of democratic electoral system. The election in each state is not a federal issue. The Houses of Congress have no role in deciding which states they accepts votes from. Very clear he recognises the decision of the people.

TomOnBoard · 06-01-2021 07:17PM

Jeebus H Christy!!!

Police have now withdrawn inside the building and the Capitol's East Front has been taken over by hundreds of protestors! No police presence right now!! Of course, no police goon squads, baton wielding police thugs on view- they're probably in the Proud Boys crowd on the steps..

rosser44 · 06-01-2021 07:19PM

Seditionists - Time for the National Guard to earn their pay

Tell me how · 06-01-2021 07:20PM

House has just gone in to recess with reports the capitol is now on lockdown.

Incredible.

And all this incited by the 'SITTING' President.

Protesters breaching multiple police lines, including inside the building, and still not even riot police deployed while family BLM marches see hundreds of riot police.

This can't be just incompetence from the police.

namloc1980 · 06-01-2021 07:34PM

They are in the building now. This is crazy

martingriff · 06-01-2021 07:39PM

Okay this is out of control now I fear we may see violence

At this stage I hope we see violence from the protestors because that will be the most effective way to kill off the movement... I'd also expect to see the national guard there to protect the democracy but they are white and armed so of course they will not dare to show up exactly like the police, brother in arms and all that.

We have a coup.
