The guy marching around the United States Capitol with a Confederate battle flag is also grotesquely ironic. It’s like these people don’t know their own history at all.
Also, the ‘may you live in interesting times’ curse is really hitting hard - yesterday was the deadliest day in the pandemic that’s now killing more people than 9/11 in the US every single day, and that wasn’t even close to being the biggest story of the day...

Yep. Black folk get the worst of it, no doubt. And yep, if you're a protesting for any kind of nominally "leftist" cause as a whitey, you are clearly several hundred percent more likely to cop a beating (no pun intended, but what the hell).
In something reminiscent of a hostage video, the Massive Dump has read out a statement of opposite tone to his previous ones. I wonder if Pence threatened to invoke the twenty-fifth amendment if he did not do so. I also wonder if the Don added the lines about "immediately" calling the national guard and the "journey … just beginning".
Emoticon and contraction free since... quite a while ago.
Yeah, that certainly looked like there was someone out of shot holding a gun to his head.
I don't believe Trump would ever give a speech like that unless someone had made it crystal clear to him that his personal livelihood was under immediate threat thanks to his inflammatory rhetoric.
Well, as Colbert rightly notes, this probably has an awful lot to do with some lawyers pointing out to him that, on January 20th, he becomes an ordinary citizen again...
...and, thus, open to criminal charges of "inciting violence", possibly treason and sedition as that riot was aimed at the US Capitol, and - heck - four people died (a woman shot and 3 others needed medical treatment and didn't make it), so a rather ambitious lawyer might even seek some form of homicide charges too.
He very much needs to backpedal like buggery right now, and stick to very robotically reading the script that his lawyers have given him.
Although, you know, "too late". As he committed these potential criminal acts on bloody camera and we have the footage.

While there doesn’t seem to be time to impeach him, there is a clear need to overturn or rule out any chance of Trump pardoning himself. But we do need to point out to the dumb herd that stormed the Capitol - Trump signed an Executive Order last year that gave an automatic ten-year sentence to anyone vandalising or looting state or federal buildings.
He meant it to be used against Black Lives Matter. It absolutely should be used against the white terrorists. And yes, they are terrorists - armed with Molotov cocktails and pipe bombs. Several already to be charged with seditious behaviour.

Nice to see them finally grow a pair ...at least a few months too late when it almost doesn't matter..ditto. facebook and the rest....anyone can stand up to a bully when you know their days are serverely numbered.....slow clap.....
... you can't make this up .. I just found a video shot by Alex Jones, where he's going around claiming that in reality all that happened because there were a number of ANTIFA people DISGUISED AS PATRIOTS that created all the mess and then goes around showing that they set up "a number of temp 5G devices/aerials" CLARLY TO INTERFERE WITH THE BRAINS OF THE PEOPLE ...
( actually no then he went on sating it as A VIRTUAL CROWD GENERATOR ! )
.. next step it'll say that "the aliens done it" .. which is a possibility, given he had many time David Icke on his show ...
Giles, clearly further proof that AntiFa and the Democrats should be allowed to run everything because they're clearly amazingly brilliant at organisation.
Woman distressed that her "revolution" was mildly resisted by the authorities:
But nice of her to confirm her involvement, first name and where she lives for the cameras, as that'll make arresting her so much easier.
Apparently, none of these Trump supporters are aware of their 5th amendment rights to not be compelled to self-incriminate.
Ironically, if only they'd worn their face masks, they might have gotten away with it.
Because, yeah, in the midst of all this, let's remember that there's a global pandemic going on and 3,000 people - equivalent to the deaths from 9/11 - are dying every day in America right now.
