Well, what with all lies by dearDonaldTrump America has now truly been shown to be great again, in hypocrisy and stupidness. A true banana repivlic which can no longer claim any moral standing. It's a black day for democracy.
"Trump supporters storm U.S. Capitol, halting electoral vote count
'The president invited us here and we're not leaving'
Yahoo News Chief White House Correspondent Hunter Walker relays his notes from the protests:
Folks marched from the Stop The Steal rally to the mall. Thousands of people surrounding the Capitol. They are up on top of the Capitol steps. A barricade is being used as a ladder.
One man said, "This is epic, epic. We're taking the Capitol back, thank God."
One guy shouted: "F*** you." Another person yelled: "The president invited us here and we're not leaving."
I can see D.C. police on the fringes of the crowd. Homeland Security tried to drive up and was repulsed by the crowd. No visible sign of law enforcement.
Lot of people are wearing gas masks, respirators and helmets. Saw some flares — unclear who fired them."
and in true Nero style fiddling while Roma is burning
"• Trump, who had spoken at a rally earlier in the day urging demonstrators to surround the Capitol, was reportedly watching the chaos unfold from the White House Dining Room.
• "I am asking for everyone at the U.S. Capitol to remain peaceful. No violence!" the president tweeted more than an hour after the Capitol was breached. "Remember, WE are the Party of Law & Order — respect the Law and our great men and women in Blue. Thank you!""

Remember this? "Trump Poses With Bible After Having Protesters Cleared Away With Tear Gas “Greatest country in the world,” the president said minutes after he had police violently clear protestors. President Donald Trump clutched a Bible and posed for photos in front of a church near the White House on Monday after ordering that protesters be cleared from the area with tear gas and rubber bullets. “Greatest country in the world. And we’re going to keep it safe,” Trump said in front of the historic St. John’s Episcopal Church, just minutes after he directed law enforcement officers to tear-gas crowds protesting police brutality so he’d have an unimpeded walk from the White House to the church. Trump, who is not a regular churchgoer, did not pray or open the Bible. He appeared to use the moment as photo-op, striking various poses with the book as he stood alongside other members of his administration. When a reporter asked if it was his Bible, he responded that it was just “a Bible.” " www.huffpost.com/entry/donald-trump-bible-tear-gas-protesters_n_5ed58beac5b6449ef9663fa1 |

The NY Times (link below) is broadcasting the Senate debate currently underway, there is no paywall that blocks this. It makes refreshing viewing to listen to the various Senators set out their views on what's happened today and their views of the way forward. www.nytimes.com/ |

Lies and more lies and our clever coward is still tweeting more lies. "American carnage: how Trump's footsoldiers ran riot in the Capitol ... Less than an hour before the Capitol was breached, Trump had told his supporters: “We want to be so respectful of everybody – bad people. And we are going to have to fight much harder.” He told them to march from the White House along the national mall to the Capitol to “save our democracy”. He even said he would go with them, but it was just another promise he had no intention of keeping, taking his motorcade instead the hundred yards back to the White House.... As night fell over the capital he tweeted: “These are the things and events that happen when a sacred landslide election victory is so unceremoniously & viciously stripped away from great patriots who have been badly & unfairly treated for so long. Go home with love & in peace. Remember this day forever!” ..." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/jan/06/trump-capitol-american-carnage-washington |

"A woman shot and killed by police during the storming of the US Capitol by a pro-Trump mob has been named as a 14-year veteran of the US air force and of four foreign military tours, including to Iraq and Afghanistan.
Ashli Babbitt, 35, had travelled to Washington DC from San Diego, her husband told the local news station KUSI, adding that she was a passionate Trump supporter.
...
Less than a day before she joined the Trump loyalist protest, Babbitt, an avowed and public Trump supporter as well as a subscriber to a number of alt-right conspiracy theories, had vowed the insurrectionist movement could never be halted. “Nothing will stop us… … they can try and try and try but the storm is here and it is descending upon DC in less than 24 hours… … dark to light!” she wrote on Twitter.
Babbitt, 35, was reportedly shot as she and other rioters tried to break through a barricaded door in the building where Capitol police officers were armed on the other side."

^^^ The gene pool is better off without her.  , a true partiot, love the smug sanctamonious comments from the bombay broadcasting company etc etc, unamerican, ffs wake up, a country founded on revolution, a civil war where the carpet baggers stole the southern states, texas and kalifonia stolen from mexico, a country with the right to carry arms, a police force running wild and killing with impunity, cities on fire, exported war chaos and terrorism to the rest of the world for the last gawd knows how many years. You really couldnt make this shit up. An expirment in democracy gone sadly wrong, its not their fault they have an albatross round their necks called the constitution, written more than 200 years ago, it has no relevance today, but they gather round it and worship it like some sacred cow and golden idol. Shining city on the hill me effin ass, american exceptionalism my ass, no wonder the world looks on with bewilderment and amazement, and the penny hasnt yet dropped for uncle sam, this shit you call democarcy and are trying to export to the rest of the world has been rejected in every country you have invaded. |
