Election results discussion thread (and sadly the inevitable aftermath)

Oh so this is what law and order looks like.

You know, I thought for sure the people who were finally going to get pissed off enough and guillotine everyone was going to be poor people sick of this shit. Not MAGA's tricked into thinking their Supreme Overlord isn't just a fucking moron.

Some streams from the storming of the capitol

The house is now in recess as well as the senate.

 

[Godzillarich(aka tf2godz)]

lol, they just stopped the senate debates because protesters breached the building. You could hear it on the mic seconds before it cut off.

Okay I've been ignoring you because quite frankly I don't want to deal with your nonsense but I have to put my foot down. An angry mob is trying to storm the Senate because they don't like election results.

How can you find this anything but terrifying. Like for real what the fuck!

But seriously, you're making the wrong assumptions. It's not "because they don't like the results", it's because they genuinely believe the results are fraudulent.
So why wouldn't there be an angry mob? You expect people to just accept a hostile takeover of their country?

 

[Houseman]

The house debate is now in session.

PBS coverage switched to the view outside the Capitol and is showing protesters walking around inside with American flags and such, and is interviewing people.

 

[Hades]

So protestors are getting beaten and gassed because Trump wants to make a photo, but when white protesters storm the capitol to overthrow democracy nothing is done about it? Come on.

This is absurd.

 

[Houseman]

The House just went back into recces. People near the doors are making "sit down" motions. PBS coverage was lost.

An announcement form inside the House chamber said for the people to get down under their chairs.

 

[Houseman]

Reportedly, Pence has left with his detail.

Don't they have like secret tunnels everywhere for this exact situation?

You can see people moving into the building.

A streamer is being pushed inside by the crowd

 

[bluegate]

Can't wait for Trump's comments on this, I bet they are all just fine people and fine patriots.

 

[Kwak]

How is the national guard unable to stop unarmed people walking into a building?

They're probably on their way

 

[Godzillarich(aka tf2godz)]

Holy shit!

 

[Kwak]

Because they don't want to kill US Citizens.

Well, not THESE US citizens.

 

[bluegate]

I'd rather hear his spoken comments on this, they tell so much more.

Because he's hoping that it will result in Trump's reelection. That's how delusional he is.

@Houseman you do realize that if votes aren't certified by January 20th, Trump doesn't automatically become the president again, right? His term ends on January 20th regardless of this mess. And after he's gone, if a new POTUS isn't sworn in, Nancy Pelosi takes over as acting POTUS. What the fuck do you think happens after that?

There is no version of this that results in Trump's victory. Grow a brain cell already and deal with it.

Because the protesters are white and therefore treated as humans with rights and stuff.

 

[Kwak]

I wonder if Trump will be held to account for any of this. Probably not as usual.

 

[Houseman]

PBS stream is back up, they're inside, and being moved to safety. She might be moved to a basement or tunnel or something, so they'll probably lose signal.
