Post a.) Paid agitators. Some of them match photos of the Philadelphia chapter of Antifa. They could have done better with their costumes. The fur hat with the horns is a bit too much. On a regular day you would have a very hard time getting very far past the US Capitol Police. Too easy.

Post b.) I thought the color revolution in the Ukraine was gay but the one we got going right now takes the cake.

Post c.) It’s the result of years of unchecked corruption in the federal government and China has spent the last 40 years infiltrating us and taking advantage of the corruption. China has great interest in splitting us up because they become the superpower. Right now we have an asymmetrical war with China going. It’s becoming a ripe situation for someone out of the military to take charge. That’s what usually happens when the political process shit’s itself.

So which is it, idiot? Take your fucking meds!

Jay Timmons, president and CEO of the National Association of Manufacturers, called on Vice President Pence and top White House officials to invoke the 25th Amendment and remove President Trump, as pro-Trump rioters invade the US Capitol.
The 25th Amendment allows the vice president and members of the Cabinet to remove a president who is unfit for office.
"This is not law and order. This is chaos. It is mob rule. It is dangerous. This is sedition and it should be treated as such," Timmons said in a statement Wednesday.

As armed pro-Trump rioters stormed the US Capitol on Wednesday, the head of the country's largest manufacturing trade group issued a scathing rebuke of the violence and called for the president's removal.

Jay Timmons, president and CEO of the National Association of Manufacturers, an influential advocacy group that represents more than 14,000 member companies across industrial sectors, described the rioters as "armed violent protesters" engaged in "sedition."

"This is not law and order. This is chaos. It is mob rule. It is dangerous," Timmons said. "This is sedition and it should be treated as such."

Members of Congress had convened in a joint session to certify Electoral College votes confirming Joe Biden as the next president when violent protesters breached the Capitol building, forcing lawmakers to evacuate.


Timmons also called on Vice President Mike Pence, who was presiding over the session, to invoke the 25th Amendment, which allows for the removal of a president who is deemed unfit or unable to serve. The amendment allows the vice president and a majority of the Cabinet to remove a president from office.

"Vice President Pence, who was evacuated from the Capitol, should seriously consider working with the Cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment to preserve democracy," Timmons said Wednesday.

Top White House officials reportedly discussed invoking the 25th Amendment early during President Trump's term, according to a then-anonymous op-ed published in The New York Times in September 2018. When Trump contracted COVID-19, people wondered whether he would hand over the reins to Pence.

Timmons' statement echoes similar comments made by business leaders condemning the rioters on Capitol Hill and calling on officials to act.


"This is not who we are as a people or a country. We are better than this," JP Morgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon said on Wednesday in a statement tweeted by the firm. "Our elected leaders have a responsibility to call for an end to the violence, accept the results, and, as our democracy has for hundreds of years, support the peaceful transition of power."

President Trump, for his part, issued a video statement on Twitter hours into the rioting praising his supporters and repeating false claims of election fraud.

"So go home, we love you, you're very special, you've seen what happens," Trump said in a recorded statement Wednesday. "But go home, and go home in peace."

I'm hearing that it was Pence and not Cheeto who finally called the National Guard in to disperse the MAGAtt terrorists. So maybe - after being made to crawl into a hidey hole after doing his mundane constitutional duty of opening the envelopes - Pence has had enough of the Orange Imbecile's bullshit. He should have played the 25th Amendment card years ago, but there's literally nothing standing in his way now. Get it done, and let Pence be a placeholder for two weeks. Don't see how the fuck he could make anything worse.

Various members of Congress are now joining the call for 25th amendment Cheeto removal. Will Pence step up and do it?

It already appears that Pence is effectively running things...

Twitter has locked Trump's account and has threatened to ban him...

Dumbest ever post...

I really hope that this finishes Ted Cruz as a presidential candidate. At least with Trump he is maybe dumb enough to believe the conspiracy theories about electoral fraud, surrounded by sycophants and may have been looking at prosecution post presidency. Cruz made another purely political cynical decision thinking it would allow him to get the Trump base at the next election and it's blown up in his face.

MAGAtts tried to attempt a coup locally here as well. They managed to get through the gates at the Governor's mansion, but not into the mansion itself. Cop cars & sirens were fucking crazy around here for a few hours!!

Yesterday was a mess and many things should not have happened... but the US Congress performed their constitutional duties, certified all 50 states election results and officially recognized Old Joe as the next president of the USA. The nation remains intact and constitution upheld. Love em or hate em... the legislative branch did a respectful and honerable job despite the shit-show going on at the capital.

Trump will remain POTUS for 13 more days. Impeachment... invoking the 25th amendment... all fools errands and won't happen.

There will be a peaceful transfer of power on the 20th.

Mr Trump can enjoy his new job as... citizen Trump. May god have mercy on his soul...

Well be thankful it isn't for 4 years and 13 days and hopefully people will be more cautious in the future about voting for authoritarian leaders even if some of their policies suit you.

The UK is stuck with a shit show for another 4 years...

4 years and 13 days from now, this once great Country will be in ruins. The next 4 years will more than wipe out the previous 4 years of greatness we've enjoyed.

I feel bad for the younger folks that have had their democracy stripped from them. Their votes no longer matter. Big tech and the Government now have the ability and authority to "vote" in who they want. If NickDemonrat wasn't ghey, he'd have literally stripped his kids and grandkids future votes from them, by perpetuating this fraud. All over the hatred of one man. The party of love and tolerance, that has ruined this once great Country with their 4 year witch hunt, over their simpleminded hatred.

[Seshmeister]

Just because people on the internet and Trump say there was a fraud doesn't mean there was one.

The judges in dozens of court cases, judges that Trump appointed say so.

You are being very gullible.
