I mean I knew today was going to be crazy, what I didn't expect is the pure incompetence of securing the area. This event has been telegraphed for over a week!
Where’s the national guard? Where are the police? They were on the streets in Minnesota shooting (something non lethal) at people with their door open
I guess people who support that fuckstick in that house support this. And support the hypocrisy and the violence. Shameful.
The fuckstick is enjoying this. This is EXACTLY what he wanted. He got his cult to do his bidding. Shameful.
Pence has a largely ceremonial role, opening the sealed envelopes from the states after they are carried in mahogany boxes used for the occasion, and reading the results aloud. But he was under growing pressure from Trump to overturn the will of the voters and tip the results in the president’s favor, despite having no legal power to affect the outcome. “Do it Mike, this is a time for extreme courage!” Trump tweeted Wednesday. But Pence, in a statement shortly before presiding, defied Trump, saying he could not claim “unilateral authority" to reject the electoral votes that make Biden president. Despite Trump’s repeated claims of voter fraud, election officials and his own former attorney general have said there were no problems on a scale that would change the outcome. All the states have certified their results as fair and accurate, by Republican and Democratic officials alike.
Black people would have been fired upon long ago. White mobs are "citizens" and are due the respect of peaceful dispersal. Anyone who doesn't think justice and police action isn't heavily racist in this country is stupid or willfully ignorant.
