Just about to say that.

 

Still a fairly big group of people kicking around for a curfew.

 

 

The reporter is saying the Police aren’t actually telling people they need to go home. 
They should get nightclub bouncers in the ***** would be away already.

Sorry mate.  No military fatigues allowed.

Anyone notice Trump was behind what looked like Perspex screens today? Were they worried about an assassination or Covid? Seems strange, hardly ever happened before.

Looks like it, nothing being done about it. 

Waited until it’s dark.

That makes sense.😄

If they wanted to, sure.

Does America use water cannons for dispersing crowds?

Well that all depends on the crowd. They were more than happy to use them on the native Americans at the pipeline protests.

Twitter has pulled Trump’s last two tweets. 

Bet they can't wait to hit delete on his account in 2 weeks.

You know these movies where the terrorists attack the White House etc, you can see how easy that would be. 
How could they be so unprepared for this?

Republican Governor saying that Trump should quit or be removed.

 

 
 
The fabric of our democracy and the principles of our republic are under attack by the President. Enough is enough. President Trump should resign or be removed from office by his Cabinet, or by the Congress. 6/6
 
 
 
Make no mistake, the President of the United States is responsible for this event. President Trump has orchestrated a campaign to cause an insurrection that overturns the results of a free, fair and legal election. 3/
 
There is no doubt that the President’s delusion, fabrication, self-interest, and ego have led us – step by step – to this very low, and very dangerous, moment in American history 5/
 
 
Dunno how to embed Twitter feeds

It seems that the losing side in elections nowadays cannot accept the result and want another count, we've seen it in this country also,

just bonkers, what has changed in people these days that they can't accept defeat 

There will surely be prison sentences for this behaviour

No that’s it’s just liberal Tories like Boris Johnston that would think about doing that 🤔🤷🏾‍♂️🙈.

I am not sure the curfew was genuinely to empty the streets, but it gives official permission for the riot equipped police to harass non curfew conformists by keeping them moving. The police certainly seem to have the numbers they require now, would it have been so difficult to have acquired these numbers at the start of the day and keep the rioters from getting settled. I give the police a complete fail for their actions, and suggest that some senior heads should roll, a recent graduate from a police academy could have seen some time ago the situation that was developing, particularly when it had the support and invitation of the sitting President . So many questions and there will be so few answers. I personally am quite disgusted that this was allowed to happen in the Capital of the Country self claimed to be the example  of Democracy for the rest of the World.

You couldn’t get anywhere close to the White House. The security there is on a totally different level.

 I guess not the best crowd tool I ever saw were the police horses.

Did anyone do this in the 2019 General election? Or the 2017 U.K. General election? Or the 2015 General Election etc etc?

But the only folk likely to assassinate folk support him? They rarely do it? Unless it’s been put up for Biden in two weeks? He will need to have the very best protection.

I think the cops are not quite happy to stand and watch them all get so cold they give up. Also the situation that a lot of them won’t have anywhere to go to get off the streets as they won’t be local.

According to CNN Trump’s pretend girlfriend Ivanka tweeted calling the protestors patriots. Then deleted it very quickly. Not quick enough though. 

 

I wonder who/what she and her delusional siblings would be willing to die for. Mind you, when you've been raised by that megalomaniacal nutter ......

They are planning to resume the electoral count at 8pm, why tell everyone instead of just getting on with it?

I think if impeachment comes into play again, there would be a few more Republicans in the Senate willing to convict this time.

CBS saying they were trying to burn the electoral college votes. Burn the evidence is the term they used.

Pre-2012 Gerard Butler maybe, a broken man since then. 😁

I think you’re getting your pish Scottish actors mixed up.

I get the ‘public interest’ argument of keeping Trump’s tweets up but Twitter has really been backed into a corner...

It could still be possible but not sure I’d call it likely given the timeframe.

If that happens I give it a year before Donnie is living in one room in a hotel surrounded by jars of his own piss.

And I don't think there is any chance of Pence pardoning Trump on 19 January now either, not that it was likely if Pence has ambitions to run in 2024.
