Incredible scenes where the sitting president encourages and leads supporters in a march on Capitol Hill.
I understand four are dead following the assault on the senate.
This must surely send shock waves around the world.

The Americans made a big mistake when they failed to shoot him over the past 4 years. It will be interesting to see what Biden decides to do about it once he is president - have him arrested and prosecuted for inciting deadly violence, and risk him being a martyr, or let it go. Hopefully the former. Of course if Turmp is now unelectable, the lovely Ivanka will be able to take over. When I say โlovelyโ I do of course use the term loosely.

So much for "the United States"... far from.
Shocking... although perhaps not so when you look at the numbers of brain-washed trump supported in the first place.
Sat what you will about "our lot" but at least they APPEAR openly dishonest lol

The talk of a second American civil war was ridiculous ... until viewing those scenes.
If America is the leader of the free world, and has taken over the roll of the world's 'policeman' ... what damage have those scenes done to democracy worldwide ?
It's breathtaking the level of damage the man may have caused.

Hardly a war is it. Will all be forgotten about in a few months.

I watched his video this morning, asking people to go home, after telling them he loves them and he was robbed.
Blokes an absolute tool and deserves putting down, serves no great purpose to this world and is a waste of skin and oxygen.

I'm still really intrigued as to whether Trump is going to pardon himself.
It seems likely if he can.
Funny thing happening with him and the Scottish woman. Apparently Trump has booked to arrive in his 757 and spend some time at his golf course around about the time that the transfer of power takes place. And she says not during a full lockdown.
Oh dear.
He's not going to end up Exiled in Scotland is he??

It doesn't say a lot for the 'progressive' notion that people who are very different can all live happily ever after with the warm buzz of togetherness, one single brotherhood of man. All they need is a bit of time to reconcile their differences. Oh, and the helping hand of force.
Rather, from where I'm sat, it seems that as times passes these differences, rather than fade away actually grow and develop leading to a confusion of feelings of anger, bitterness and guilt together with actions of recrimination and violence.
Not a great advert for the notion 'one world, one brotherhood of man', I'd suggest.

China is well happy about this.
Maybe Trump is a Chinese installation.

Hardly a war is it. Will all be forgotten about in a few months. Yesterday morning I would have rejected out of hand a suggestion that the president would speak to his supporters and tell them he would personally lead them, from the front, on a march to Capitol Hill. I wasn't suggesting there was yet a war ... rather that I never believed it was a possibility until viewing those scenes. Far from being a bad day for 'the brotherhood of man' scenario Clinton Cool ... doesn't it actually underline and reinforce MLK's words that 'darkness can never drive out darkness, only light can do that ... hate can never drive out hate, only love can do that' Hopefully everyone will pause, take stock and realise that democracy can ONLY work if all the people accept the majority view.

It would / will be interesting to see what happens when Trump supporters turn up in significant numbers.
There were not many people there but apparently he has millions of supporters.
Very intriguing.
Will they be able to sort it easily?
I wonder.

Indeed ... wondering also IF he is arrested for tax avoidance after 21 January, whether this will complete his 'martyrdom' in the eyes of some and subsequently ramp up hostility. Hope ianali is correct and all is forgotten in a few weeks time ... but worrying times. Rog

There is a lot of heresy going on here. Don't y'all know that Trump was chosen by God? He said so, so it must be true.
................................ oh no, sorry, I'm getting mixed up with hearsay.
yesterday he tweeted that his has been the greatest presidential term in US history.
