US Capitol under lockdown as Trump supporters clash with police

[Sharles]

That's a cop out.. I'm asking cause I really don't know.

Here's the link to the transcript of his rabble rousing speech. I didn't read it all, but enough to see how he whips up the crowd, takes them to the edge, accuses the Left of stealing the election, tells them they are going to go to the Capitol to 'help the weak Republicans', etc, etc, etc, etc, ad nauseum. If you want to play ignorant, so be it. This man plays with weak people's minds and emotions, leads them to the precipice of the riot...and then tries to walk away washing his hands saying, "I did nothing wrong" and I call bs on that.

A walk down memory lane

House Democrats unanimously blocked a resolution condemning acts of violence and rioting—including the "deliberate targeting of law enforcement officers"—in the wake of George Floyd's death.

the stench of hypocrisy is strong here

While I can't argue about the hypocrisy and everything (Trump collusion ad nauseam for 4 monotonous long years, etc.), the Dems got Trump in a pickle (was gonna use another term but keeping it clean) this time. This incident involved breaching the Capitol. Protesters stormed hallowed grounds (for the most part not violent...the 'coup' 'attempted overthrow' type remarks are nonsense, yet...).

Dems have the ammo in this fight. I suspect they will get ample support from many GOP'ers, also. Stay tuned. 25th amendment cries are mounting. Schumer threatening emergency impeachment hearings if Pence backs down from 25th.

You are right.. I don't accept it
I agree with 95% of what he said there and don't see anything that is a call for rioting or violence

Buncha loosers!

but Trump mortally shot himself yesterday when he inflamed that riot

Could you tell me what Trump did to inflame the riot?

You are fucking clueless, but that's what we love about you.  

Maybe, just maybe, telling his brain dead followers to march to the White House wasn't such a great idea?
Maybe, just maybe, perpetuating the lie that he actually won the election wasn't super great for this country?

At this point, anyone who is still a Trump supporter is either un-American, a traitor, an idiot, or all three.

He ain't playing.

Its being reported. Authorities say they have identified members of each with facial recognition software. They're saying its super high tech software they use in the Capitol building.

(I'm just the messenger)

on that radio of yours did it say anything about the neo-nazis present and accounted for? Don't need facial recognition for that

Good old Tyler can spot a Nazi or white supremist in a crowd of tens of thousands. I bet you were really good at where's Waldo when you were a kid.

Anti-Semites are really good at finding Nazis

He is no more responsible for yesterday's incident than dozens of Dem politicians are responsible for the riots that caused 2 billion dollars of damage to MPLS last summer. If we are going to remove him then Omar, Cortez, Pelosi, Schumer, et al, should be removed for their actions in inciting violence and rioting in the wake of George Floyds death.

I don't have a problem with that...I'm tired of the hypocrisy on both sides! He IS responsible and they certainly gave their (tacit) approval to all the riots all summer long. Get rid of them all, and get some grownups there.

The whole point of protesting is to make ppl uncomfortable. To folks who complain protest demands make others uncomfortable... That's the point!

considering the source, I take this rant as very high praise indeed and a validation of everything I believe in

But you can't storm the Capitol.  

Just watched National Treasure again, and this reminds me of the line where Riley is trying to talk Ben out of stealing the Declaration of Independence, and he says something like, "It's not that you 'shouldn't' steal it, but you 'can't' steal it. It's like trying to steal the Lincoln Memorial...you can't do it." Tried to find the actual quote, but I guess most people didn't think that was one of his better ones....
