in fact I worry about what will happen around the inauguration with immense trepidation

 

There can't be crowds due to the virus, and Biden's team will have power, not Trump, and will have the national guard out in force.

the inauguration itself will be safe yes. but that won't stop armed mobs in other parts of DC or other parts of the country.

Oooft.

Eesh. I am not happy that the right has shown its true colours, even if it shows they are full of projection once again when they talk about sore liberal losers.

 

I don't know how invoking the 25th would go down, I can't imagine it would be pretty, considering Trump is edging towards "finally getting banned on Twitter".

sorry did I say edging I meant actually outright suspended!

 

for continuing claims of election fraud and thereby inciting

It seems that Ashli Babbitt was shot by Pence's Secret Service security detail. The police behind her seemed shocked. She was in a crowd and the police behind her weren't stopping her from climbing through the window, just as Pence and his detail were passing along the corridor.

 

Did anyone see the pics of the guy sat in Nancy Pelosi's chair in her office? :o Seems he got inside easily and left a note for her saying "we will never back down" in red ink. He even opened her PC and messed around with it.

They'll back down when they're put down :')

Trump’s lawyer, Lin Wood, has been banned from Twitter for advocating the murder of Mike Pence. He should be arrested too.

 

Sky saying Pence is now in a safe location under heavy SS guard. I guess his SS security will have to be extended after the 6 months now.

Salt the earth - anyone who enabled this administration, who downplayed or denied Trump was being a fascist, most especially if they're still doing so now, remove them from public office. If they are a public or media figure, never take them seriously again.

 

Pence is at least trying to save face, it seems, it'll be way too little too late but I hope he removes the president from office now rather than later.

Amen.

 

Didn't Boris once advocate for Trump to receive a Nobel Peace prize?

 

It's interesting seeing all the enablers, supporters, people ignoring fascism and his behaviour for years now acting like this escalated surprisingly overnight.

 

Trump has been banned from Twitter and Facebook (and even Instagram) for at least 24 hours. In other words: he's been grounded :lol:

Indeed he did!

The hypocrisy of some people condemning this but doing nothing over the last 4-5 years when Trvmp displayed the EXACT SAME behaviour.

 

This is akin to 'thoughts and prayers'. No one cares, it's a little too late, you are all complicit.

 

Speaking of dumb bitches, since she was white this will probably be treated as the saddest tragedy since 9/11.

“Even though I totally disagree with the outcome of the election, and the facts bear me out, nevertheless there will be an orderly transition on January 20th. I have always said we would continue our fight to ensure that only legal votes were counted. While this represents the end of the greatest first term in presidential history, it’s only the beginning of our fight to Make America Great Again!”

 

Totally believable statement from him with no legal intervention at all I'm sure. He's finally learned to write like an adult!

 

 

Let's hope Twitter keeps that ban, only two weeks before he has no protection on there anyway.

can't keep the 'stolen election' narrative out of his mouth even now, shows exactly what he thinks of his opponents, I believe about this time 4 years ago, MAGA were crowing about how people posting 'Not My President' on Twitter were sore losers.

 

the "joking" about removing presidential term limits, the insane demonising of BLM/Antifa, the flag-waving, the speech in front of Mount Rushmore warning his disciples of an oncoming cultural anti-American left-wing fascism, the Charlottesville comments, none of this is a surprise and yet at every turn, he and MAGA have projected their worst qualities outwards and blamed anyone but themselves as they edged the country towards a fascist dictatorship where THEY were in charge. That's where culture wars lead you. So very narrowly avoided.

On the plus side I feel vindicated.

 

On the minus side, the number of people still denying that all of the 'warning signs' aka everything else that Trump has said that suggests HE IS THAT GUY, were anything of the sort, and are being taken out of context, is alarming.

 

When someone tells you who they are, believe them, comes to mind.

Stopped commenting on world events a while back as it's too f***ing depressing.

 

Just to say, it comes as no shock to see Trump is a fascist dictator who has tried to overthrow democracy. He was always that, and any f***ing moron that failed to see what he is should reflect on their own gullibility. That includes High-ranking Tories, Farage and other assorted liars.

 

Trump is LITERALLY committing treason against US democracy enabled my his media supporters who would immediately label armed insurrection as what it is if it wasn't the USA.

 

As always, I reserve the right to say "I told you so", though I haven't actually said on BJ that Trump would have to be dragged kicking and screaming from the White House in 2020, I've been firmly insisting to everyone I know in the real world that that's what's going to happen.

 

If Republicans dont support his removal as a danger to democracy & the Constitution then they also need removing from office for failing to carry out their oath. That goes for Fox News, Twitter, facebook and the other enablers. If inciting undemocratic revolution isn't worthy of a permaban, then nothing is.

 

There were literally more troops stationed to arrest Jane Fonda for a protest, so the local forces have a lot to answer for. If they'd been black protestors they would have opened fire immediately.

 

There will be long-term fall-out from this, and any elected official will need permanent protection from the inevitable disgruntled fascists who don't even realise what they are, they are so gullible and deluded.

Whoever was responsible for shooting Ms Babbitt, it's still sad that people have died because of this. :( There should be an investigation into the deaths.

 

As for the guy in Nancy Pelosi's office they will have to desanitise the office in case he had covid, it can stay on surfaces for 48hrs!

Be fair, they have apparently made some arrests. A whole thirteen people.

 

😂 in fairness they weren’t really let in by police like the twitter video suggests the police numbers needed weren’t in place to stop them.
