There is no question that he needs to be impeached with gusto.

Just yesterday I was thinking that this probably wouldn't be worth the political cost. Now, not even 24 hours later, I'm of the opinion that the cost not too is far greater.

Isn't this a crime of sedition? Seriously. And for those breachers who forced themselves into areas were secret national information is held, shouldn't they all have every seized, again seriously?

And where they hell is the president who just gave a fucking speech. Coward.

When rioting broke out in Atlanta months ago the mayor said this:
"“I am a mother to four black children in America, one of whom is 18 years old,” she said. “And when I saw the murder of George Floyd, I hurt like a mother would hurt.” Joined by rappers T.I. and Killer Mike in an effort to reach young people, Bottoms made an appeal not just as a mayor but as a mother.
“This is not a protest,” she added. “This is not in the spirit of Martin Luther King Jr. This is chaos. A protest has purpose.... If you love this city, this city that has had a legacy of black mayors and black police chiefs...then go home.”

Where's your backbone, Trump you piece of irresponsible shit? We can't wait until January 20. His inability to accept the election results has ventured into dangerous territory and is a threat to our government. It's delusional and should be enough to invoke the 25th amendment.

Meanwhile, National Guard troops from surrounding states are inbound and the window of peaceful resolution is closing.

I honestly don't understand why these people aren't being shot.

Just the other day, on this board, I said I understood why Biden would most likely not attempt to punish Trump in any way after he left office. I even said I kind of agreed with him.

But after today? Not so much.

Ironically, if he had actually been impeached, it is likely that without his Government Health Care, he would be dead already.

If only DC were a "stand your ground" "state". (Though, IIUC, you would be justified to shoot in your own home during a home invasion if you thought your life was at risk in every state).

No guns allowed in DC, though, so I'm not sure how that would play out.

The new talking point I'm seeing is that this was Antifa posing as Trump supporters.

It was just reported on MSNBC, on the TV (mind you, it wasn't in the Capitol itself). It's on the ticker right now.

Maryland cops and FBI deployed. Agolf finally calling out National Guard after they dissed Pelosi.

Already starting to hear lots of "this is ANTIFA dressing like MAGAs to make us look bad" from the Trumpers. Being the inherent cowards they are, they're trying to distance themselves as much as possible.

Fuck you all...you own this.

This whole debacle is exactly what white supremacists and home grown militias have been waiting for. I wouldn't be surprised if we see more of this before week's end.

This is the raison d'etre of the Boogaloo so guess we will see if they were just wimps in a basement. I sure hope so.

Good. We want people to distance themselves from this. I don't care how they justify it to themselves.
