Capitol Lockdown
I’m right wing but I never want to hear Republicans ever again complain about how Democrats refused to accept the results in 2016. Back the blue, amirite?

4 years of ''Russia Russia'' bullshit, white liberals rioting, looting, vandalizing, trying to ruin people's lives and the libs should get away with it? Fight fire with fire.
I'm not even sure what you guys are whining about. You will win this easily, it's a peasant revolt. Trump will be completely destroyed, the crack down will be brutal. Your short term victory, complete. You will get to do whatever you want to your opponents.
However, the changes made in the US socio-economic system creates millions of these. It's not going away any time soon. The malcontent will last for decades.
More than an oasis, this is a bubble.
Did liberals ever storm the Capitol Building and force it to go into lockdown?
There was already a lockdown, libs didn't care. So yeah....
You do not even live in this country.
I think this guy really wants to associate himself with the US because the United States is really the beacon of the West Civilization. If US falls, it would be devastating to his ideology.
Haha. And this is why modern conservatism is bound to eat itself alive - there is no respect for fact, for other opinion - it's a post policy political party. And now it's devolving into a cultish neo-fascist mob.
If those protestors were minorities, they'd be dead in the streets, not shooting guns on the Senate floor.
It's also worth noting the difference in what this kind of sedition is for, as compared to this summer. BLM wants all Americans to be treated equally under the law, which we know for a fact they are not. Trump and his supporters want to do away with democracy. That is their literal aim. I won't have you opening your pie-hole with this disgusting whataboutism when one group is trying to literally end democracy and the other merely wants the right to not be shot in their sleep by the police.
Fuck off
Biggest loser on this site commenting from a former Soviet nation I'm sure. Ridiculous how much you clamor for an American civil war.
Ahahahahahahaha. You are talking about yourself dude. Seriously.
''Commenting from a former Soviet nation''. Imagine being this guy.
He is Italian. So a former Fascist nation really.
And the parents and grandparents of the people storming the Capitol also believed that black people were second class citizens who shouldn't vote, or drink from the same water fountains as whites. Just because most of the former Confederate states and their moral heirs in the modern GOP believe that white people come first and all others not at all doesn't make that legal or ethical. Anyone caught in the Capitol yesterday without permission should be thrown in jail for the rest of their lives. Or suffer the death penalty they love so much. After all, if a black teenager with a couple ounces of weed deserves ten to life, certainly this does too.
No one is going to read your garbage. Get lost F.
Unfortunately, same. Extremely disappointed right now and have no idea how ANYONE can defend these actions we've seen today.
Today?
Of course it was going to end in the most shitty shameful way possible. What a legacy.
I'm just waiting to see who comes in here and justifies what's going on with "what aboutisms"
You already got @neink. So score one for the forces of authoritarianism!
Zero surprise that neink is on the side of fascism.
A better question is why WallStreetOasis.com continues to sit back while a foreign national encourages a coup attempt on his website.
Bunch of fucking retards all of them. Seeing reports that a woman just got shot in the capitol. Most embarrassed I've ever been to be an American for sure.
This is what Trumpism has always been about - fascism. Make no mistake, this is a coup attempt.
It is utterly shameful for this to happen in this country.
Blue, white and red colour revolution.
Maybe it's white, which is the color of the flag Italy carries around in ALL of its wars. First European country to be beaten the shit out of by an African country hahahah

MFers raided the candy desk
Neink are you live posting from inside the capitol? Stay safe my man and we know it's okay to be white, no need to die trying to prove that.
You think if I was there, I'd be shitposting here?
If Trump supporters were rational, they'd be Democrats by now. Why should we expect any consistency or logic from you?
Donald Trump should be arrested and tried for treason. His behavior post-election has been some of the worst the U.S. has ever seen in its history. Politics is full of selfish narcissists, but Trump has put himself above the country in a way that I don't think this country has ever seen.
Thank you.
This is not a right vs. left issue.
It's chads vs cucks.
Except, it kind of is. The GOP has made it so by aiding and abetting this travesty. They've put party over country countless times, and it's only now that they speak up? Mitch McConnell took a month and a half to admit that Biden won in November. They care about the veneer of democracy and not the substance, and that has translated to their voters, who now care for neither. You don't get to poke holes in the bottom of the boat and then express outrage when it starts sinking.
I was against impeachment in January but yeah Pelosi and McConnell need to impeach & convict ASAP
Yes please. Escalate. Just look at the crowd that would follow McConnell. It will totally drop the guns and abandon Trump.
Well said but where have this type of view been for the past four years.
I call them as I see it. If I think Trump (or anyone else) is doing something bad/impeachable/treasonous, I say it; if I don't then I don't say it. This is treasonous. The man needs to be perp walked out of the WH.
Agree 110%
Trump murdered 400K people. Say it old sport.
Why? He fanned the flames, but he didn't directly command them to do this. What Trump says about the election is stupid but he is not directly responsible for what these people did yesterday, so he should be condemned surely but arrested!? People are acting like he led them into the Capitol like Caesar.
Breakups really do suck
It is going to be a long road back for the republican party, a group who appeased dear leader for four years. It looks like a greener environment, equal rights for everyone, healthcare for all, ain't looking so bad right now. I never thought I would see a day in which the US was attacked by Americans.
This is like the eighth time armed conservative militias have occupied government property in the last few years. The only surprise in this entire situation is that people are shocked by it and weren't prepared for it
But like this at the Capitol? This seems much bigger than any previous issue
What? Is this real?
America is so powerful that it could only break within. But honestly, tomorrow is another day. Stock market will shoot to the sky very soon, and once enough people are vaccinated and the country goes back to normal, economy will rebound faster and stronger than you know it. This is the beauty of America.
I hope Trump goes to prison and is financially ruined
is it this easy to overthrow the government? Where are all the guns? The army? The bombs?
If ISIS did something like this, would it take this long to get rid of them?
ISIS? Imagine if 3,000 black people with guns got together in Mississippi. They'd be dead within the hour.
It's this easy because the GOP makes the implicit threat that we need to accept and normalize this behavior from white, Christian conservative people or else we might end up pissing off the rest of the tens of millions of people who vote Republican. A black person demanding the right to not be shot dead by police in their own home - those are violent vandals. These are patriots, and their actions are above reproach, so lets pooh pooh them going a little too far and let them go home, because they didn't really mean any harm!
what a shame
Just an all around embarassing moment for America...and per the OP, Trump Republicans have just lost all credibility in arguing against the behavior of antifa in recent months.
American democracy has long been a joke. A two party system that works for wealthy corporations and exploits the working class, BOTH PARTIES. Now even the nicely polished surface is fading away. You have one party refusing to at least make a peaceful transfer.
Time to look to Europe or even Asia (Singapore) for true democracy.
Meanwhile, despite advisors pleading with him, Trump is sulking and refusing to give a more forceful response because he's mad at Pence.
Absolute clown show.
Why do people care about what Trump says at this point? We shouldn't need the President to get law enforcement to arrest/detain/shoot people that are breaking the law
Because the band of inbred and illiterate clowns will only listen to him, their Supreme Leader. Instead he has been watching for hours while turning them more on Pence and not denouncing them.
Not sure if this is America we are looking at or Turkey, Venezuela, Nigeria, ...
Absolute shame on republicans
Yeah crazed Trump supporters marching around and you call out the entire Republican Party.
Get real bro.
Republicans are the ones who enabled this to happen. Pence, McConnell, Hawley, Cruz, etc are all guilty. This has been 4 years in the making.
Btw, I'm right wing.
Disenfranchised left-behinds are exercising one last ditch attempt at remaining relevant in American affairs. They have 0 cultural presence in media and Hollywood, weak academic presence (academics overwhelmingly bend left), and economically they are also underrepresented since the new economy (Finance/Tech) is overwhelmingly Liberal (capital L). The only remaining institution that they can exercise any degree of influence over is the State -- which they lost with the Biden election. Can you blame them? Sure.
The country is exhibiting signs of decline more and more.
Yes, you can blame people for storming the Capitol over their refusal to accept that the majority of Americans do not want Trump to be president. Sperging out isn't going to give them any more representation in politics, pop culture, academia, etc
Indeed. But the point was to explain the actions, not to justify them. Do you think President Biden will be able to relieve any of these tensions during his tenure? I personally have my doubts. Trump certainly wasn't able to do much in terms of coherent policy, save for the rhetoric surrounding trade and immigration.
Shit man that's the truth if I've ever heard it
The only guy who gets it. Seriously.
ok neink
Haha all the ass kissing of your master, the beacon of the West, just for this? They don't even like you man. Sorry.
As always it's hard to decide if Trump is more pathetic or his cultists are more pathetic. Tough call.
They both have lowered the bar so much that I think everyone deserves an award
Lmfao, go home, FRAUDULENT ELECTION STOLEN FROM US DEMOCRATS ARE EVIL but go home.
haha yeah that was pretty weak by Trump - but somewhat expected
"We love you. You're very special." ---The President of the United States, in a video message to people rioting at the Capitol.
The 25th amendment needs to be invoked immediately.
