A tweet she put on Kamala Harris' Twitter:

"No the f*** you will not! No masks, no you, no Biden the kid raper, no vaccines...sit your fraudulent ass down...we the ppl bitch!"

This was in response to a tweet talking about Biden and Harris' plans.

Commonashsense was her Twitter account. It's horrendous.

Personally, the person I have sympathy for is the poor cop who was forced to shoot. I have no sympathy for any terrorist who is killed in the process of committing their crime.

"we the ppl " A phrase very synonymous with complete roasters. I Tend to agree that I feel sorry for the Police Officer. Very poor than the majority of arrests seem to be for breaking curfew and the real terrorists, at least at the moment, don't appear to have been arrested.

There's videos up of two Washington Post video journalists being arrested for filming protestors after curfew, rather than the protesters themselves. Media were exempt from the curfew.

That along with the videos of police opening the barriers raises a load of questions.

She's not holding back is she?

She's brilliant. It's putting Pence in an even tougher position, keeping the heat right on him, making him choose between country and Trump in terms of his legacy.

There are huge questions on all aspects of security imo. Usually anyone trying to take control of a country needs the military and police. There were certainly enough signs in the footage that the Police weren't really doing much to stop the coup. I wonder what their instructions and orders were.

There will always be some decent cops, even in the US, and it may be the officer was put in a position they had no choice. Of course it could just be one of the shoot first ask questions later cops that seem to be in abundance over there.

CNN putting before and after videos of certain Republican senators speeches. Great viewing if somewhat cringeworthy.

***Hibrandenburg*** · 07-01-2021 07:16 PM

Watching the Video of the black officer retreating up the stairs with the mob encroaching. Can't help but feel that if it was the other way round and it was black rioters and a white officer, then there'd be several dead rioters.

Have seen a lot of news coverage there has been very little or no discussion about the policing in terms of why there was so few, how passive they seemed to be and what was the situation re national guard and comparison with Blm marches.

The new Law passed by Trump to protect statues means that the people who damaged the Capital building last night face up to 10 years in prison. They better hope Trump pardons them in the next two weeks.

Surely it should be more than 10 years for taking part in a Coup. Even in a land of low sentences like the UK even planning a terrorist act usually means life. These rioters were taking part in a terrorist plot

And the complete idiot who stole a letter from Pelosi desk, waving it about on TV and giving his name - 5 years right there!

Trumps latest video release.

He moves and talks like he’s some sort of automaton...

That though was his version of a concession speech and is in stark contrast to his alternative self of yesterday.

It's like someone off camera is pointing a gun at him.

I had a wee theory in my head yesterday that he’s been told yesterday to do what he’s told for two weeks and he gets to finish his presidency without impeachment, now I’m convinced of it. No way he wrote his concession statement or that speech.

Probably making a u turn so that he is legally eligible to stand at the next election.

Where I am certainly. No problems that I have heard about anyway. Lot of pissed off people but no one rioting or anything.

My "gun" was metaphorical. His speech reminded me of some I've made myself after coming to agreement after industrial disputes. A deal has been done and both sides will have made concessions. Everything Trump has done in the past few weeks has resembled a slow pattern of escalation and culminating in what we saw 2 days ago. He's either now got what he wanted and we're unlikely to ever hear what that is officially, or he's been convinced in no uncertain terms that any further escalation will be counterproductive. We'll see in the coming weeks which one it is.

Also, it will have come as something of a shock to him that the people below him are abandoning ship rather than support him in his campaign to subvert the election result. I suspect that he thought that the marchers would cause Congress to see the light and do this. There may now even be a suspicion in a corner of his mind that he did genuinely lose. I'm confident he'll be able to overcome this temporary connection with reality and convince himself again that a grave injustice has been done. I expect him back to his old self shortly.

Yep probably as soon as his twitter is re-activated.

Just caught up with that. Great viewing. I particularly liked the phrase a black hole of whiteness

***Hibrandenburg*** · 08-01-2021 10:28 AM

CNN really not taking hostages in their before and after reporting on Republicans. Ted Cruz has just been given the treatment.

He should have been able to empty his clip in to the crowd with impunity, the same way a white counter-part could have done if it were as you described.
