So.... trumpy just blew the senate for republicans basically. Biden was basically on collision course to try and get concessions with a party that would have squeezed him dry and never given anything in return and now he has a chance to actually do something. Gotta wonder how republicans will react to trump now... I actually don't think they will be out for a vengeance since to them the party's brand should be worth more than trump.

Yeah...about that. Last I heard, Warnock won the run-off as expected, but that leaves them (Dems) with only 48 (49?) seats with two seats being left for independents. So...how does this work out, in terms of power balance?

Anyways.

There are claims of votes counted in georgia greatly exceeding the number of registered voters there.

Its important to hear both sides of the story, am I right.

AFAIK independents at least do not lean conservative. It's not exactly a completely reliable vote for democrats but enough to break the republican senate blockade. In terms of passing policy it's about as good as its going to get for biden.

They will continue to kiss his feet and suck his dick in order to convince his fanbase they are worthy of their votes. And to avoid the fate of Rommney who keeps getting harassed by Trumpfans, just look at the videos man. It is already obvious that Trump will rerun in 2024, if he isn't in jail by then. Pence's chances for 2021 got fucked hard though, dude's career is basically over the moment he announces Biden winner of the election.
I am just happy that Moscow Mitch lost his Senate Majority, good job, Donald. Albeit I bet that was his real goal all along because now the reps need Donald and his fans even more in future elections than if they had kept a hold over the Senate.

"Police are struggling to stem the tide of Trump supporters trying to make it into the Capitol building. "

Shit is getting real.

...

Don't know if they're Trump supporters. Looks like a WWE slap fight.

At what point will he be charged with inciting riots? Immediately after he leaves in Marine 1? Or will it take a few days?

Is this more drivel from that grifter IMC? Seems like he deleted it

So Trump is going after his own VP? This is like watching an empire crumble into pieces.

I guess it's totally okay to LARP as someone staging a coup as long as you don't break a window or steal from a Target

Relevant.

This might be funnier than people pretending to LARP a milita.

Kinda weird what the requirements are for calling something a protest vs a riot these days.

There are guns drawn, at least

I'll just say.

I was angry and depressed around 10 years ago.

When I saw all of this coming.

What was that again about white supremacy being a boogie-man?

 

[James Rye]

Wow. They really did it. And he really asked for it and is doing nothing to stop it. Man, holy shit. I thought he would not cross that line but ho boy, did he step over that line willingly. Thank god he doesn't have a real army to just go and kill everyone who opposes him because he would totally do that.

 

[Ramen]

Aye, racists storm the capitol building. America is such a funny place right now.

 

[kkck]

Wow, I didn't know the US police could be this harmless.

You thought there was a line? Trump isn't smart or tactical enough for any degree of subtlety. Barring trolling, he will do pretty much as he says. Trump's only real move is quadrupling down on everything. He will be removed from the white house when the secret service comes in and kicks him out...

I consider white supremacists as much a bogey man.

As Trump putting LGBTs in concentration camps, as CNN promised he would post 2016.




You see white supremacists have an internet forum called stormfront.

Which has been a ghost town since long before rick rolling was in.

White supremacy is much more powerful in europe where skinheads wish Hitler would return from the grave to make europe great again, than it is in the USA where its a confirmed dying and dead movement.

The Department of Defense is reportedly refusing to deploy the National Guard, so counting on the Secret Service seems less and less reassuring

Ah yes, the monolithic gathering place for all white supremacists in the country, a single website. We've been through this discussion already, your intellectual dishonesty is getting old.

1 confederate flag = 1 potential white supremacist carrying it.

Certainly this is the best evidence for white supremacy being a mainstream movement in the USA ever.

????

How is that supposed to work???
