Capitol Hill buildings evacuated as Trump supporters clash with police

that's what i was thinking too

@girlusocrazy: I totally forgot about him.

I love when you disagree with someone you demand they move to another forum. That doesn't really make much for discussion if everyone agrees with you does it?

And violence at BLM protest was never planned? How the **** would you know? Did your organize all the rallies?

What about this?

Or this?

https://www.google.com/amp/s/abcnews.go.com/amp/US/police-officers-killed-surge-28-year-point-civil/story%3fid=71773405

Was that a coincidence?

You say most BLM protests were peaceful but the fact is they have so many protest and have had far more death and destruction then these protest.

Do I need to refute every nonessential post? Stopping white supremacists is at the top of the lefts priority list along with solving climate change and creating racial equality.

I just think it's funny comparatively speaking domestic terrorism and white supremacy are treated as such a high priority when they make up such a small amount of deaths. But identity politics is the lefts game.

This mindset right here will cause Trump 2.0 and 3.0. And I'd hate to tell you but that's what the right wants. Someone who does what they actually say and is more then a con man trying to win power.

so right now on twitter. trending right side conspiracy nuts

antifa it was all them. all along

or the hand signals... deep state .... blah bs

That should be near the top of the list...it's one of our species biggest issues after Covid.

Who said it was the biggest issue? Doesn't mean we don't need to still solve it, even the FBI and DHS think it's a problem. You're all over the place ITT. Pick one topic to keep deflecting to with straw-men.

You're just shitting up the thread. I know you don't like the topic because it makes the recently imploded and impotent GOP look even worse, but please lets stick to it.

You don't want a discussion you just want people to bash the GOP and the right. You just wanted people to reaffirm your opinions.

The reality is the right can do this stuff non-stop for the next 4 years just to break even with how the left acted the last 4 years.

You only disagree with it when the right does it. Again pointing out the ridiculous double standards.. that's why I'm in this thread.

The officer that was injured has passed away.

You can go ahead and arrest the rioters. It's time we hold public officials accountable and slam the book on them. They fermented it. They own it.

I am bashing the GOP and the right as it pertains directly to the topic. Which is the storming of the Capitol by right wing members. I'm literally discussing the topic. And the topic triggers you.

This is objectively false going by the FBI and DHS. And history, the last time this happened was 1812. Not 2016.

P.S. You keep dodging this. Do you think the election was rigged like these terrorists?

Oh now it's time? So do we retroactively get Maxine Waters and other Democrats who stoked the flames for BLM and Antifa?

Those riots were bad too (although not as bad, and not directly spurred on by a sitting POTUS, I don't recall mass resignations after that as well, so i won't fall into fall equivolencies). But those riots existing doesn't excuse this historic event. Drunk_Pi never said otherwise - which means you're now actively defending terrorists ITT by spamming deflection via strawman AND whataboutisms literally every post.

And arrest the traitors in the Capitol Police that led to the death of one of their fellow officers.

Imagine if these thugs found AOC, Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, Adam Schiff, or Maxine Waters. Members that they can recognize and target.

Meanwhile all summer democratic funded paid protestors peacefully vandalized cities and tried burning down buildings with people in them.

Guess which one is going to cause a certain president to be seen as the worst in history. Not the thing you just wrote. Your party is in shambles, this deflection won't help.

What is objectively false? The left has rioted and protested for the last 4 years. They took over several city blocks in Seattle. You blame the right because they actually had balls and went for the capital?

And no I don't believe the election was rigged. But why do you hate conspiracy theories now? I'm sure you were all for them with the Russia collusion lie were you not? The left has pedaled conspiracy theories nonstop for 4 years. Now it's our turn. Enjoy!

@zaryia: Not American. You shouldn’t assume things based on an opinion it affects your judgement.

What if I told you.... that some people don't identify with either party? And have been watching from outside your little box for years, marveling as a once great country has been getting further and further divided over the years?

You want to blame someone? Blame 90% of politicians PERIOD. I can almost guarantee none of them care about much more than keeping their own power intact. Add in the media which only cares about pissing off/inciting as many people as possible for clicks/views/attention, and this is the end result.

What if I told you..... that this thread is about far right terrorism/insanity and you keep going off-topic so you can defend your smelly carcass of a party?

That's stupid. It's mostly Trump and a handful of GOP members who spread the election myth. That's literally what caused this.

Why wouldn't I blame the factually responsible person? Don't facts still matter?

Sounds like you're still sipping the Trump Kool-Aid.

@zaryia

Guess you missed the part where I'm not American huh? But sure, go ahead and label me into your neat little box.

I don't identify or care about either party. I care that our best ally to the south appears to be on the verge of destroying itself from the inside out.

Oh boy, here we go again...

It seems they are planning another go on the 19th. I would link, but I would rather not do anything that could potentially incite violence.

Don't worry, one of the main people responsible will be out of office in 2 weeks. I'm sure we will still have problems though. Just less.

With Trump's twitter down it should be less right? Also should be big security this time around.

Trump Terrorists will lose this time.

Hey remember when you had a bunch of trumpettes saying conservatives never riot and attempt to kill officers?

LINK

lol "law and order"

Yeah, also remember when they said "rioters deserve maximum punishment"?

Yeah, they're planning on sending militias to DC or something. It's out of control now. I guess these nuts are gonna keep horde waving the capitol or something.

Trump is banned on Twitter. Parler is on notice. All shit that should have been done ages ago. Man, it can't end like this. if America devolves into a civil war, other nations will have no choice but to get involved because they'll see the country as a rogue element. Everybody fall the hell back and calm down.

If the government falls (it won't) and lawlessness takes over, don't worry, the rioters won't make it out of DC alive.

It's a rough place, man.

Many will put "**** around and find out" into perspective.

@Maroxad: They will hopefully have the National Guard deployed this time.

party of "law and order" murders a cop.

Anyone noticed the Georgia flag that was shown was for the countr Georgia, not the state?

"Law and order party" was the new code word. We all know that was just a dog whistle and this proves it further. They never gave a shit about law and order and the cops, they just don't like Black/Brown people.

Like what the old "States rights" code word really meant: Exclusive: Lee Atwater’s Infamous 1981 Interview on the Southern Strategy | The Nation

@zaryia: Title is inaccurate. They were domestic terrorists that clashed with police. And they should be locked away forever as such.

Hide this from Stevo, it'll probably offend him or something.

@MirkoS77:

I know that it's late but I'm really sorry to hear about what happened to you! I hope you get better and pray for a speedy recovery!

I don't know if you said it but someone here told me that despite Trump's loss, Trumpism will stick around for a while. I said Trumpism can't survive without Trump. And it looks like I was wrong. Outside of the few people who were finally hit by disillusionment, they're still clinging to him and I still hear idiots calling for Civil War 2. I hope that they don't but after Wednesday, it looks like they feel like they can actually succeed. Silly me for still giving people the benefit of the doubt that they might one day come to their senses.

So, anyway, get better soon!

You guys should be glad Stevo isn't a crazy liberal or he would be cancelling your right to free speech on this site.

Gamespot doesn't punish users for wrong-think unless they can't follow the golden rule; moreover, Gamespot's forums steer away from echochamber-esque forums which perpetuate "reeeeeee" mantra. I do feel for the users who obsess over looking at everything through a prism of *insert immutable characteristic here*.

I think everyone should stop talking about each other and just discuss the topic. I see ad-homs or whataboutism strawman based deflection going on in every Capitol thread. Understandable when such a historic even occurs but lets stop.

95% of internet debate is whataboutism now because people no longer want to

1) defend that which they can't defend when it's caused by people from their "team"
2) admit they were simply mistaken about something and move on, rather deflect by bringing up unrelated topics


and on and on we go.

Thanks nepu. 🙏🏼 Therapy begins soon, first day today. On the slow road to recovery.

I think when Trump fades from the main spotlight, his spell will lessen on some. Who’s to say how many, but I suspect only the most crazy of his loons will still be cultish in their loyalty to him.

As for Trumpism being a potent force in politics henceforth, I think he’s pretty much assured through his antics in this past week that’s a dubious chance. I was worried about him rerunning in ‘24, now I’m not so concerned. His penchant for self-sabatoge in stupidity and recklessness is really remarkable, but then again, so is the ability and willingness of his enablers to overlook it.

Yep, "Law and Order Party" was hot bullshit. And a lot of cops bought into it because they treated peaceful BLM protesters like trash. "Communist" seems to be the overall catchword for people that stand up for minorities and the disenfranchised.

With that, so far, it seems QAnon and MAGA's main goal is to violently install Donald Trump as the dictator of the United States.

@BenjaminBanklin: I think QAnon is happy with a dictator. MAGA will have Trump.

@zaryia: @MirkoS77:

Given the riots, I suspect that this will definitely scare away all of the moderates who voted for Trump. I've seen a few articles about how the GOP is beginning to distance themselves from Trump even more.

With all that considered, I don't think we'll have to worry at all about Trump in the future. You can imagine, it's going to be open season for indicting him. Even if he pardons himself, he can only do it to a certain extent. The question will be "who is going to nail him into a wall first?" Then if he survives those lawsuits (and he's slippery enough to do so) he's going to find a VERY shrunken base of supporters. So he'll be lucky to even win the nomination.

Honestly, I can't think of how this could have ended any better! At this point, even if the Trump cult attempts a civil war, it'll only give them a bigger reason to enact the 25th. And that only spells more trouble for Trump. And it's all his fault.

Several police departments across the country have opened investigations into cops among their ranks to find out if they were involved in the siege on the U.S. Capitol on Washington, D.C. on January 6th.

The growing number of probes follows an announcement from the Seattle Police Department on Friday that two of its officers have been put on administrative leave pending an investigation into allegations that they were in the nation’s capital during the raucous events.

The New York Times reports that cops from Texas, Pennsylvania, and New Hampshire are now under similar scrutiny after social media posts placed them near the riots that took place in the nation’s Capitol.

Some of the potentially incriminating posts were made by the MAGA-supporting officers themselves.

LINK

"Law and order for them but not for me" so sayeth the corrupt cops.

But it's ok. They'll get away scottfree and the trumpettes will continue to excuse their lawlessness.

The right is a majority of domestic terror these last 4 years. Not the left. You were objectively incorrect when you said the left does this type of stuff.

Do you lie in every thread/post? It's amazing actually.
