Coup in the USA?

[bubblesort]

I just reported Trump's white house chief of staff for communications Dan Schaivo, for spreading misinformation about the election on Twitter, because he posted a statement from Donald Trump, where Trump says that he factually won the election.

If enough people report this, they might boot Schaivo off just like they booted Trump.

Here's a link to the tweet I reported...


The reporting process is a lot more specific and involved than it used to be. I reported for spreading false information about a political event, then for discouraging people from voting.

From what it appears to me, the picture going around with two agents pointing a gun at a broken window as they were behind a barricaded door match up with being on the other side of the window that the Air Force gal tried to break into. The agent on the right is the one that shot her. The picture taken of them appears to be right before she tried to breach the window.

Pearly Gates are closed now, he seduced the innocent (cause the weak of mind are that according to Christian theology) and their blood is on his hands. Karma is a bitch Mike

The Capitol is a huge building. Not only were the 538 legislators there, but tons of staff and media. I would expect their first priority was to get all those people to safety. They would only shoot to kill, or fight with the invaders if they had to. Many of the people were sheltering within the building, since there was a mob outside. So the security folks would stay with them to continue protecting them. Whatever was left was badly outnumbered, and they didn't know which of the invaders might be armed. So they didn't try to push them out until reinforcements arrived. Again, its a huge building with multiple floors and a lot of offices. So even with reinforcements it took time to clear the building, after which they started pushing back the mob outside the building. I watched them using flash-bang and gas as part of the process. It wasn't all gentle persuasion.

Oh yes, for sure. I didn't mean that I expected the capital police, or other police, to shoot the crowd.

I was responding to this video Bubblesort posted of the woman who got shot.

If you try to come through a window, which body guards have barricaded, and 4 of them are pointing guns at you telling you to stand back, there is only one way for that to end.

Edit to add - The regular police are on the same side of the door she is, trying to disperse the crowd, which make sense. It's what I'm assuming are some type of agents or body guards, on the other side of a door barricaded with chairs, who shot as she tried to climb in. I can think of very few things that would energize me to move against 4 armed body guards protecting elected officials. I know things are crazy, that Trump has riled people up, but this makes no sense to me that someone would do this. Let alone that she's being called a hero.

By the way, I removed my cousin on FB today [she's distant, but local, if that makes sense].

She actually believes these insurrectionis were peaceful protestors and they were infiltrated by Antifa.

Thing is, while I hold her at fault for stupidity, the real fault lies with any 'news' media saying this is what happened.

This no longer is free speech, this is yelling fire in a crowded thatre. Each of these need to be dealt with, legally.

I had to do the same.
For years I've unfollowed, but not totally removed, for the sake of family dynamics. Today I had to full on remove though as she's tagging some of us or I'm seeing other family members responses.

We're Canadian, this isn't even our thing, unless it's to watch in horror what our downstairs neighbours are doing.
But my cousin is posting all kinds of antifa conspiracy theories. Her close, close ties to the FLDS and her multiple trips to the US for that purpose seem to have infected her.

The agent on the right (left in the video from her side of the door) is the one that shot her. The picture taken of them appears to be right before she tried to breach the window.

Nah. Before her death was confirmed, there was a video on twitter that showed the moment of her being shot.
She was shot at a door that also had small windows at the sides next of said door itself, and behind it was a hallway, not a wide room. The windows of the door itself did not have the cross-sections. Not the same door.

Edit: Different video with a worse angle, but you can see the door in this New York Post article here. Warning, image with her being treated on the floor at the end of the article.

No link handy, but according to an account by a journalist inside the House chamber at the time, this happened after the House floor had been evacuated, but there were Representatives, staff, and journalists in the gallery waiting to get out. The men in suits with drawn guns in the photos are plainclothes Capital police officers. One of these officers fired a single shot as the terrorists were breaking the door. Immediately after, they were evacuated.

Expected this.

The snowflakes already cry bloody murder, because an unarmed woman is no threat ROFL. Then they shove her service term around like proof of her innocence while in reality it is most likely the explanation for her undoing. I am pretty sure the Secret Service agent was trained in assessing situations like this. Magrats really believe a 14 year term veteran would not betray her training with the way she tried breaching the room... most likely her body language gave her away as a serious threat and the agent reacted accordingly.

Of course there needs to be a trial. But in conclusion of above reasoning I fear no consequences for the agent.

Pancake what have you done? 13 pages of posts in two days. It usually takes an accomplished troll to do that.

Knowing that each state has its own box, and they show 2 being carried by two people apiece, there are 100 heros out there, who kept cool heads and were heroic.

I wonder if we can report it for bypassing a blocked user. Is Trump actually blocked or are they just monitoring what he says. I know he has been blocked on FB, but not sure on Twitter.

Thank you for the correction.

I've seen reports that she tweeted right beforehand, "Nothing can stop us now." Whatever her intentions were once she got in there, we shall never know, but she would maybe have been followed by others and therefore the lives of the people in the chamber were in danger. The young kid who was interviewed basically said as much when he said it could have been him, she was just the first to attempt to go through.

From what I've been seeing it appears that she was a deluded QAnon soul. We're going to need some serious cult rescuers.

Also, regarding what Trump said about it only being the beginning of the fight to make America great again, dems impeach him now. He won't be able to run in 2024 and we will be spared 4 more years of nazi rallies.

 

[bubblesort]

Trump's Twitter ban is lifted, and he just posted a speech, without claiming victory. He lied about things like sending the national guard to secure the capitol, and he said at the end that, "our incredible journey is only just beginning," which sounds like a threat to me, but this is the best I could hope for from the bastard.


This will give the democratic leadership just enough wiggle room to whine about bi-partisanship, and refuse to prosecute him and his accomplices, in the interest of "moving forward, not backward," because our democratic party leaders are spineless.

 

[Beebo Brink]

I have my own theory about what was supposed to happen yesterday.

Trump was inciting his Magats for violence, with the expectation that they would clash with BLM and anti-Trump protestors. The ensuing warfare would be his excuse to declare martial law and take control of the government.

It didn't unfold that way because the DC mayor and others worked hard to defuse the situation. The anti-Trump forces stayed away, leaving the riled up Magats with no opposition. They boiled over anyway, losing the illusion of the ethical high ground, and Trump & Co lost their excuse for martial law.
