What we saw yesterday was real direct action. Hence why all the usual suspects are so up in arms. That shook them yesterday in a way that a thousand BLM marches will never achieve.
The Vice President, Speaker of the House and the President pro tempore of the Senate along with the vast majority of all senators and congressman were in the same room, and the DC provided a non-existent level of security. Invaders pressed through the halls, taking both Chambers and getting so close to the evacuated Senators and Congressmen that a plain clothes officer with the US Capitol Police (under the command of the Sargent at Arms) had to fire at an unarmed woman to prevent the mob from getting to the Legislatures. There could have been a bomb, there could have been a chemical weapon, or weapons in those backpacks just a hallway away from the only people with the power to deny Trump his ability to continue as president. The National Guard took forever to deploy, both Maryland and Virginia deployed National Guards before the one under the President's order, and the DC guard was eventually deployed without Trump's order apparently."
If people wind up dead, individuals chant 'Kill Pelosi' while walking around in bullet proof vests and (real) pipe bombs are left behind it's not really something that should elicit a "Yeah, that put the frighteners up 'em!" type response. It's domestic terrorism. Edited by BlueJay (08 Jan 2021 2.06am)

And with history showing that he was robbed of victory in 2020? This story is not over yet. Most successful at dividing the nation like no other president this is true. As to Unemployment, Obama inherited a 7.8% and handed trump a 4.7% rate. Trump Reduced that 4.7 to 3.5 before COVID took off. Obama did what he did after being handed the worst economy since the great depression, Trump took over an already thriving economy. Please explain how you think Trumps numbers are so great. He bought US troops home, to the chagrin of most US military leaders as it destabilizes the areas they were bought home from. The same areas US troops went into to "protect the American way of life". As to stock market ant Economy. Obama saw a 148% increase in stock values over his 8 years. Trump is sitting on 55% over 4 years, and back in March when COVID began, he was sitting on 10% increase as the market was spiraling. You could say COVID saved the stock market, made billionaires twice as rich, but made 30 million unemployed. Again, please tell me how you think this makes Trump a great president.

The progressives suddenly care about Police officers now. Could it be anymore transparent than that? Edited by Stirlingsays (08 Jan 2021 12.26am)

Trump just spoke, has called for healing, yes, healing and reconcilliation, he must have been reading my earlier post! He has said he wants a smoothe handover, looked well in a sharp suit, Biden always wears a good fitting suit to, but finally, I think for the don, the penny has dropped!

Whichever way you look at it he has been a disaster. If civil war is indeed a possibility, which I don't believe is actually very likely in 2021, then Trump has increased that rather than lessen it. There are significant numbers of people who now don't trust either their elected representatives, public servants or the media. That has been encouraged and exacerbated by Trump for his own benefit. He is 100% fake. A con man at best and a mob boss at worst. Not all those have genuine dissatisfaction and are marginalised by then establishment are idiots. Branding them all idiots because the establishment couldn't convince them to vote for them yet a fly by night could waltz in an clean up at elections should be enough warning that there's something very wrong with the status quo. But the status quo just blame everyone else. The same people calling the protest voters idiots, are the same people who keep saying we need to come together. (People who voted for trump out of an anti establishment protest NOT those f***tards outside the Capitol). The thing I dislike most about the Democrats is that they should win every election hands down, but they don't, as they are run by a bunch of useless old Cronies. Obama was a decent candidate, but everyone else I can remember them putting forward back to Bill Clinton seemed dreadful. I was hoping Trump would win to make sure the Democrats would have root and branch reform, thus shutting out the republicans for decades. Instead I dont think they've learnt there lesson and we are going to be flip flopping between the two for the foreseeable future. Biden's election result reminds me of Labour celebrating in 2017. The performed badly, and were in complete denial of how the majority saw them, giving a completely unjustified mandate to Corbyn.

In the full now deleted version he breaks out into Sexual Healing at the end of it. I think it's a bit late to ask for a smooth transition at this point. That ship has already sailed. He actively encouraged an event that led to multiple deaths, the terrorising of elected officials, and pipe bombs being left at the scene. They were scared in the moment; now he is.

2020 was just a promotional trailer.

Oh, didn"t see the full thing, yes, bit late now, 5 dead, he has apparently been asking can he pardon himself, knows he is in trouble and the name is tarnished, hopefully screwing his kids chances of going in to politics, but knowing the yanks, might just fast track them to the presidency next time round! They do pull off a nice suit when they want! It was just a joke, but in these crazy times you could be forgiven for not realising.
