In any other country it would be called an attempted coup.

I have just sat and listened to all 62 minutes of the call and my opinion has now changed from ‘he knows he lost the election and is trying to do all he can to steal it” to “he genuinely believes he won and he’s so utterly deluded that he can’t be convinced otherwise”.
I don’t know which one is scarier, a potential dictators continuing to run America or someone that is completely mentally unhinged.

The question is what will happen with Trump's base over the next four years? "Trumpism" and his base aren't just going to disappear.
I follow Kim Klacik on Twitter, she was the Republican candidate for Baltimore. She's currently retweeting tweets pinning this on Antifa in disguise, absolute moonshine chat.

Video of the protestors almost arriving at the main hall.
You have to ask yourself where is the National Guard or any form of back up? Police are heavily outnumbered in all videos on Twitter.
This would be called an attempted coup if it was happening in a third world country. Amazing scenes.Quote:

They surely have to arrest Trump now, for inciting civil unrest
This a coup, of that there is no doubt. It is being driven by Trump and his henchmen. The national guard need to be deployed and he needs to be arrested. He is encouraging armed resistance against a democratic election
Twitter needs to suspend his account before any shooting startsQuote:

Shots fired in the chamber according to reports.

Pentagon has denied request to send in the National Guard.
Protestors in the chamber and it's a no from the Pentagon, unreal.

There are plenty of Karen’s and middle class soccer moms in there. Not all Proud Boys types.
Remember when the police tear gassed the peaceful protesters in Washington so Trump could pose with his bible?
These people have guns in the capitol, disrupted the demo process, stomping on govt vehicle roofs, and not a cop in sight. Far less any intervention.
If this was the left they would have been destroyed by law enforcement before this pointQuote:

Then conquer we must, when our cause is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust"
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!
Is it any surprise when the residents really believe their bat-**** crazy anthem?

If that was a Black Lives Matter protest the police would have waded in by now.

I won't post it on here but on my twitter timeline a video just came up of a young female Trump supporter being stretchered out absolutely covered in blood.
Or even a peaceful protest regarding health careQuote:

Their national anthem is about the US war with Britain in 1812-15. So much for the “special relationship”!Quote:

This must land at the door of the incumbent president.
I was hopeful that it was all show from groups like the proud boys et al.
He’ll have to speak soon. I hope he can pull off a speech in the right tone; he’s made some good speeches but we all know he can make a mess of it too.Quote:

No, just to "support" police, "stay peaceful" and declared the Republicans "the party of law and order".Quote:

Photos on twitter of an office that show the computer screen still on with e-mails open, such was the sudden nature of the evacuation of staff. You have to wonder if there's been a breach of security through that.
Wonder where the rubber bullets and unmarked police are now?
If this was happening in Latin America, Africa or the Middle East it would be being desrcibed as an attempted coup, an assault on democracy, the last stand of a tyrant and other hyperbolic rhetoric. With it being the US it's all a bit more measured.
Trump riled up this crowd and knew exactly what the response would be. He is deliberately trying to sabotage a democratic election and cling onto power. A belated request for peace sounds pretty hollow.
Our FM codems the rioters
Wonder when the leader of the country being rioted in will do that
I notice Pence has tweeted a much stronger message than his boss

Trump has incited these actions today. These are the actions of a dictator and not an outgoing president!
Trump should be brought to rights and dealt with accordingly

We should never have given up the colonies. These people just cannot be trusted to behave.
Biden talking now.
"At this hour, our democracy is under unprescidented assault".
Delighted that Biden is knocking this speech out of the park.
This is just the start imho. Trump will do everything in his power to ensure the transition for Biden is disrupted in any way possible!Quote:

Grandpa Joe telling it like it is, well done
Biden is doing very well. "I call on Donald Trump to go on national TV...now...and defend the constitution and demand an end to this mob".
"It's not unrest, it's insurrection. The world is watching."
Spot on.Quote:

Biden talks like a normal human being. Step up President Trump.
Surely the actions of those storming the Capitol amount to terrorism or something along those lines?
There is going to be carnage when Biden is sworn in, this is just an aperitif
OK, point taken. Apologies.Quote:

That was a fantastic speech by Biden. He's a bit boring, but that's the antithesis and antidote to what's come before him.
Depends reallyQuote:

Trump has never looked so isolated as he does just now.
The thing with Biden is that you could tear his political career apart, you can pick over his voting history, his views, his gaffes and whatever else. There are few, if any, member of the US political elite for whom that isn't the case.
But he understands the sanctity of the office he is about to take. He realises the responsibility that comes with it and he respects the fact it is about more than his ego. That's why he can deliver a speech like that whilst Trump has fired up a bunch of gun toting domestic terrorists and instigated the scenes we are now seeing.
Biden speech pretty weak.
