2020 U.S. Presidential Election

[BlueRidge]

Everyone who said Trump wouldn't be so bad and that we were overreacting when he was elected, a big f*ck you!

THIS!!!!!!!

 

[BlueRidge]

The Washington Post confirms reports that a person was shot inside the Capitol.

 

[Susan1]

This is on all the regular networks too. Every time I flip, they are interviewing someone who says the same thing - we were in the room, there were gas masks under the seat, they barricaded the doors but the protesters were breaking the windows. It sounds like they are reading from a script.

BREAKING: The Virginia National Guard is being sent to Washington DC (Via Jonathan Martin of The New York Times)
Virginia's Governor says the Virginia National Guard and 200 State Troopers are being sent to respond to the situation in Washington DC

 

[Lorac]

The certification appears to have been suspended for the day. The National guard need to get in and remove those people from the Capital building and the certification needs to take place tomorrow and no-one should be objecting.

 

[Buzz]

Nothing has scared me this much since the 1990 coup attempt in my native Trinidad. I feared for a while just how far Trump was willing to go on his way out. But didn’t see this coming.

 

[DORISPULASKI]

The Secret Service should implement their current plan to evict Trump from the White House- no electricity, no wifi, no cable, no food, no water, no staff, right now.

 

[Simone411]

Trump is actually tweeting about being the party of law and order as we speak!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He is an evil, evil man!!!!!

Maybe it's law and order in a parallel universe, but it certainly isn't here. Trump's lost his damn mind!

 

[Frau Muller]

sorry distracted, its all taking place on Capitol Hill. I am 3 1/2 miles from there. PRlady as well. @Frau Muller are you in town? I am safe, no where near the situation.

Shots fired?

Hey there...in our Russian Orthodox Church in NW DC...preparing for Christmas...

Wow. Just heard what’s happening. Disgusting - truly. I am sickened by the way that these Trump jerks have behaved...and I’m more on the conservative side.

We need to get back to Virginia because of the upcoming curfew. In what country am I?

Uh...Merry Christmas! Zpradsnikom! (Our Xmas is supposed to begin tonight at midnight.)

 

[Lorac]

So Donald Jr said that this party was Donald Trumps' Republican party. If that doesn't tell the Trump supporters in the House and Senate that he doesn't care less about them then I don't know what will get through to them.

 

[Andrey aka Pushkin]

Lol, I'm not updated.
Is there some kind of world-wide competition for the title of the biggest dumsterfire among the countries?

 

[allezfred]

But her emails.

 

[Meoima]

My team and I are working closely with @MayorBowser, @SpeakerPelosi, and @SenSchumer to respond to the situation in Washington, D.C. Per the Mayor's request, I am sending members of the Virginia National Guard along with 200 Virginia State Troopers.

The one in which you voted for the current President who incited this.

 

[Jimena]

What a clusterf*ck.

 

[jeffisjeff]

In what country am I?

The one you voted for, IIRC.

 

[Meoima]

For whatever reason, somehow I am glad that my mother did not immigrate to the US with my uncle years ago.

 

[Jimena]

The one in which you voted for the current President who incited this.

Yeah, she is a proud Trumpist. What gall to distance herself from the logical conclusion of what she has supported. She's clutching her pearls now? Really? Hypocrite.

 

[Lorac]

So apparently Trump is sending in the National Guard!!

 

[DORISPULASKI]

Northam beat him to it...

 

[Meoima]

Bret Bair reports that the request for National Guard is being "analyzed," but the Pentagon is concerned with the optics of uniformed military personnel in the Capitol Building. Yes, seriously.

At least it's a relief that Ralph Northam is sending troops, though?

Oh wow I was thinking that its Christmas this morning and then all this made me forget! My co-worker is orthodox. Merry Christmas, glad you are safe.

I think you are near me, near 16th Street? I know the beautiful Russian Orthodox Church there! Stay safe!

 

[maureenfarone]

Is it too late to invoke the 25th amendment?

 

[canbelto]

Nancy Pelosi's office has been vandalized.

Tammy Duckworth Sen for IL just said they would resume as soon as the building was cleared and they would not let this attempted coup succeed. They planned to work all night anyway. I suspect it will move much quicker now

 

[Jimena]

I wish them all a very lengthy prison sentence.

 

[Meoima]

One person was shot inside the US Capitol by a member of law enforcement, NBC News reports.

Tammy Duckworth is a national treasure.

 

[Simone411]

Well if Trump wanted to go down in history, he certainly has today. He's gone down in history as an evil sadistic leader that loved Hitler's speeches and kept a copy of Mein Kampf on is nightstand. He's committed Treason today by not doing anything about the violence and shootings that happened at Capitol Hill. He really meant it when he said he would burn the whole country down.

Heil Trump!

If I were in Congress, I would be very worried about the ability of security to protect my safety. People are going to be dead by the time the debate over optics finish.
