Is that a piano barricading the door?

Not to be pedantic - that’s the House.

Protestors are already in the Senate and there’s a picture of one in the Chair.

Oh dear, no mask. They will need to sanitise the place afterwards.

Re: U.S Election 2020
 

Apparently the Defense Department has just denied a request by DC officials to deploy the National Guard to the US Capitol.

Re: U.S Election 2020
 

DC Officials have asked for the National Guard to protect the capitol, denied by the Defence Department. They want this to play out.

This is what they're attempting. They'll fail but they are traitors and should be convicted as such.

It's no coincidence they're waving confederate flags, traitors then and traitors now.

Re: U.S Election 2020
 

They're lucky they're all white 'protestors' getting into 'scuffles'. If they were black, DC Police would be carrying 'violent insurgents' out in body bags by now.

Re: U.S Election 2020
 

Is there a day where you do not stop talking absolute rubbish?

Putin accepted and congratulated Biden's win, it is not Putin's work at all, it is angry election losers throwing a hissy fit, you know a bit like "some" of you Remainers did when your side lost. :rolleyes:

Re: U.S Election 2020
 

I don't remember Remainers storming the house of commons with violence. This is far beyond a hissy hit.

Re: U.S Election 2020
 

Putin congratulating Biden has got nothing to do with whether or not he has a preference for chaos.

Let's just agree that it's unlikely Vlad's watching his TV right now and thinking "oH nOeS!"

Re: U.S Election 2020
 

:D

Re: U.S Election 2020
 

This has nothing to do with Putin.

It is election losers not accepting the democratic result and being championed by their own cause, Donny himself is their champion, the Remain side had their champion(s) and less than a million marched in London more than once.

This is absolutely no different at all.

Re: U.S Election 2020
 

A march!? They've stormed the capital building. They had weapons.

It's completely different.

If you genuinely believe that Russia doesn't try to destabilise it's enemies then you are extremely naive, Mick. No different from how the USA tries to destabilise it's enemies around the world.

Remainers going for a walk has nothing to do with this.

So what is Donald doing now? Telling people to disperse peacefully? Or recording every news channel and having multiple orgasms? The big question for him is whether he has the tech. ability to turn it into a Dvd.

Re: U.S Election 2020
 

At least one IED found on the grounds of the US Capitol, reports @NBCNews.

Re: U.S Election 2020
 

Disruptive is the Representatives and Senators talking for hours objecting to legally cast ballots.

This is nothing other than domestic terrorism.

Re: U.S Election 2020
 

will this be over today or will it escalate into something much bigger?

Re: U.S Election 2020
 

ABC News has projected that Jon Ossoff has won his US Senate race in Georgia and therefore that Democrats will gain control of the US Senate(so have NBC).

Re: U.S Election 2020
 

I'm preparing for a late one.

Re: U.S Election 2020
 

Just can't believe the National Guard weren't in place beforehand - this protest has been planned for some time.

Re: U.S Election 2020
 

More rubbish. That is a legal process, you're talking about something else, a completely legitimate process, albeit a futile one.

Re: U.S Election 2020
 

Biden has asked that Trump requests the crowd to stand down their siege.

Re: U.S Election 2020
 

It's a legitimate part of a process to enter Congress with guns to intimidate legislators? That's a new one...

I was preparing for a late one anyway.

Fat lot of good it will do.

Re: U.S Election 2020
 

Yes, I described that as disruptive. It’s stalling, delaying, a noted protest. Much like the remainers.

I described what is happening now in DC is nothing but domestic terrorism. It’s gone far beyond a legitimate process.

Re: U.S Election 2020
 

He’s not President until the 20th - it’s currently Trump’s job (and he told them to go to the Capitol).

Do you acknowledge that the situation in Capitol Hill today is not comparable to anything the Remain side has done in the UK?

Re: U.S Election 2020
 

As far as I can tell the only person in British politics who had a gun fired in their direction was a remainer and it was a British Nationalist who did it.

Re: U.S Election 2020
 

It was meant to be a "March on the Capitol", like your side had their marches and many of them, in London.

Only in America, they can buy guns.

Re: U.S Election 2020
 

It was intended to be an invasion of the Capitol building by some of Trump's supporters - they clearly didn't smash those windows and invade the building by accident!

No invasions of government buildings happened in the few Remain marches which were all reported as orderly. Unlike the sad scenes unveiling before our eyes at Capitol Hill.

He's creating problems for his followers Ted Cruz etc. When Congress reconvenes do they keep going with their frivolous objections and look like fools or do they back down and look like the spineless snakes they are.

Re: U.S Election 2020
 

No different to how the Democrat snakes behaved when their beloved Hillary lost.

Re: U.S Election 2020
 

Only because they are harder to obtain in the UK.

Re: U.S Election 2020
 

Can't think of many careers ruined by it off hand. Cruz on the other hand is finished with the MAGA crowd if he backs down and finished with any sane person that recognises the election wasn't stolen if he proceeds.

It's no longer a minor procedural objection - it's fanning the flames of insurrection.

12 hours from when he removes three tweets - will he back down to Twitter?

Re: U.S Election 2020
 

The account was locked for 12 hours so he can remove three tweets, if he does not, it will remain locked.

Re: U.S Election 2020
 

The counting resumed with fewer objections this time. The Deputy National Security Advisor has resigned as well, a few more might come today.

Re: U.S Election 2020
 

I think Trump has had a psychological breakdown, a meltdown. He believes that much that he won, he is living his own reality - When it is so obvious he has not. His own cabinet is considering the 25th Amendment against him. Can it be possible that in the next phase of Trumps presidency, he leaves office before 20th Jan and the 46th President of the United States, could actually be Mike Pence, for just over a week?

The way forward now is to invite Biden to the White House, shake hands or touch elbows because of Covid, and allow the peaceful transfer of power and bow out. Even if by some miracle he gets to remain president, which it’s impossible, the fact he’s now lost the Senate, he’d never get his policies through. When you got despots in Syria, what is he called, Assad and in Venezuela, Madura clinging on to power, they have not got safety mechanisms, separation of powers, a Constitution that it is explicit.

The Founding Fathers in America made it this way, separate powers, so no one body has sole power.
