American Politics Impeachment: 2 fast? No, we're 2 furious

[The Derpy Democratic Republic Of Herp]

That... didn't happen though. The idea that it did is a delusion of such grand proportions I'd put it on par with flat-earthers or anti-vaccers.

A bunch of rowdy assholes broke into the capital, ran around acting like gorilla's for a few hours, then were driven off. The extent of the damage is significantly less than any of the major BLM protests recently save for in the minds of a bunch of people who've been primed by propaganda to think we're on the edge of fascist uprising. Ironically, the truth is more likely that this was the DNC's reichstag fire. The thing they're going to try and take advantage of to take power.

The president and/or his appointees sabotage the National Guard days in advance, the Capitol Police are mystifyingly unprepared (to the point that foreign security officials wonder if it was intentional), a violent mob incited by the president forces its way into the seat of the American government, bludgeoning and shooting people, and senior officials slow-walk the deployment of reinforcements... and your takeaway is either "it's really no big deal lol calm down libs" or "THIS IS THE DNC'S REICHSTAG FIRE AND THE SOCIALISTS ARE ABOUT TO TAKE OVER!!!1"... alrighty then.

I honestly don't have any clue what emerald is talking about anymore. Did he just come from another timeline or his he that desperate to simp for Trump he down plays actual terrorism?

Nobody was shot by the protesters. Literally no one.

And yes, using a minor incident as an excuse to institute a crackdown which they're already beginning to do.

What are you talking about? Terrorists attacked the US capital trying to overturn a legal and fair election.

This is what the Trumpests allways wanted. This riot is the fruit of years of bullshit from right wing echo chambers.

Trump and everyone of those terrorists need to be brought to justice.

B-B-BUT BLM BAD!!!!

[San Lumen]

Of course not. The House may impeach him, but the Senate will acquit just as they did last time. The GOP is still terrified of/deeply reliant on his base and frightened of doing anything to alienate them, and I suspect yesterday's events only strengthened that fear rather than diminishing it. No Republican senator wants to have to take that vote, and even if the House votes to impeach again, the fact we're talking about mere days till the inauguration means that it'll be very easy for McConnell to stall and run out the clock on forcing any of them to make that choice.

Dude the GOP has turned on Trump. They don’t fear him anymore

Hopefully they refuse to be seen with him in future elections.

An attempted overthrow of the lawfully elected democratic order for Donald Trump is a "minor incident" guys.

[Xanthal]

I just want to know this: without knowing their agenda in advance, when the next riot comes to town are the police and military supposed to stand back or not? It would be nice to let them know in advance what we're expecting of them, before it becomes a partisan question.

No. And you're literally on anti-vaccer/flat-earther/Osama-Bin-Laden's still alive tier conspiracy theories if you believe this. Stop believing twitter. People lie on twitter.

It would be like fucking getting your news from 4chan.

[Thermodolia]

Capitol police twice refused federal aid to quell the mob

Well that’s interesting

[Cultural Posadism]

And yes, using a minor incident

Your violent white supremacist cult tried to overturn a fair election because some septuagenarian rich asshole with a mushy baby brain told them to. I'm sorry, but you've already lost the optics battle.

And if wishes were horses even beggars would ride. Trump will become an icon for many on the right, like Reagan, until they no longer remember why they love him, only that they do.

Speaking of GMS, wonder what his thoughts are on Trump now?

I can tell you as an overseas observer this event has far far greater impact than the BLM protests and the sentiment is very different, people were bothered by violence during BLM but understood the reasons, for this they are completely shocked.

It's not a minor incident, successfully storming the Capitol as election certification is underway is, frankly, unbelievable that it was even possible.

Depends on whether or not it's an actual riot. If it is, it should be dealt with in a stern yet fair way regardless of who's doing it. If it's a mere protest, they can stand back.

You can disrupt a protest without the heavy handed tactics we saw over the summer. Equivalently, you can disrupt a protest without coming across as fucking collaborators.

It's a line I fully expect a competent law enforcement to walk.

"Minor incident".

Like the Titanic had a small leak. Or 9/11 was a minor air travel problem.

No that would be serious. That didn't happen though no matter how much you wish it did.

Stop trying to gaslight your fellow posters. I can tolerate your sorry self-delusion, but I draw the line at abusive tactics. Just take the L and whatever integrity you have left.

Impeachment it is

It was a coup attempt plain and simple egged on by Trump. It could have easily resulted in members of congress being injured or killed.

Incorrect, but you're literally a communist so I'm not surprised that you're here trying to peddle lies.

[Kowani]

Two senior national security officials say that they and their colleagues at the top level of government have decided to defy any requests they believe would put the nation at risk or break the law. They plan to force Trump to fire them.
