Trump's speech was basically: "this was fraud... we love you.. they are evil.. "
".. (but yeah, go home).. love you, bye"
Yep. Starts by saying you are right, it was stolen, here is some more fuel for your fire. Even though Keighley says he sent in the guard I doubt that was him
I think this was all stirred up by @deadlydarcy to keep his thread going.
Surely this is enough to get him banned from Twitter. Inciting violence and insurrection
Is it me or is there a team a Twitter currently sh*tt*ng bricks while deciding whether to shut the trump account down for now?
America needs a joint press conference with Pence and Biden.

They've suspended any reaction to his Tweet
Ossoff declared by CNN which would be the Senate controlled by Democrats
That speech is just.....he comes across like a fat Sméagol/Gollum.
“They stoles it from us”
“But they is nice”
“It’s ours they stole it”

There's a report that Biden is stuck in the Capitol building, unable to safely return to the Whitehouse.
Biden’s press conference was from Delaware so he is not in the Capitol.
Serves me right for watching some random American news channel for the last 15 minutes!
Is this a "March on Rome" moment? If they clear the armed occupiers out with force it's going to turn into a civil war.
Think I'm going to break out the microwave popcorn and wait for the live feed of MAGA idiots getting blown away by SWAT teams.
What a bad day to run out of whisky.
EDIT: Oh shit, I can uber eats some half decent bourbon.
That trump message 😯
The damage that man is doing to America is astounding. The man has totally lost the plot, he's a complete sociopath.
So the American cops who kill people at traffic stops for looking at them funny are now standing around letting people attack them and invade the senate?!
They could have shut this down hours ago or not allowed them anywhere near the building. This is weird as hell.
You really are a drama queen.
If this isn't drama I don't know what is.

And why in the name of dog would Biden be "returning to the White House"?!
Impeachment and removal this week? The idea that two more weeks don’t really matter is gone.

Whilst I am multi-tasking with phone, laptop and TV, aided and abetted by beer and Plantation rum *waves to oakleymuppet* I don't see this as being the precursor to civil war. Proper civil wars require serious military commitment on both sides. That's just not going to happen here.
At the end of the day, this is a couple of hundred (at best) good 'ol boys overdoing it on the Bud and running a bit amok.
The only potential threat is an attempt by GOP to delay or prevent certification, along the lines of "It didn't happen when/how it was supposed to, therefore it's null and void and Congress can vote on the next President". But that's not going to happen. Interesting to see whether the likes of Cruz are keen to continue the charade when they reconvene..
Can't help feeling like this is just a jolly day out for most of these twunts and a chance for them to get some content for their crappy YouTube channels - doesn't really seem any genuine sense of anger or threat, feels very performative.

Quite. A stark contrast to when people who don't support Trump protest.

It's easy to see a potential conspiracy here. However the prosaic truth is that they had a bigger than usual presence at the Capitol. They just didn't anticipate that it would go this way. By the time they realised it was too late. Bear in mind that most of the people in there are wandering around taking selfies. It's a relatively small number of hard-core, half of whom are probably sobering up right now and starting to realise that they are in a world of sh1t

Apart from firing guns inside the heart of the country’s legislature.
Someones actually been shot as well.
Guns are being trained on the senate now.
The guns were fired by security weren't they?
Some loony streams I've been following, comments are delightful
If you're going to storm the Capitol, try not to be easily identified.
Scary times as yes whilt a small number there attacking the building, there are millions more who are aligned to trumps view the election was stolen.
It may or may not have been on this thread but a long time ago I did say that through small steps undermining democracy there were analogies with 30’s Germany. (See rise of the nazis bbc iPlayer)
Biden using the term "sedition" - that's a proper old school law to break haha.
I'm not claiming a conspiracy just that the cops are more sympathetic and much less shooty when it's 'patriots' causing trouble. There's people on those streams battering cops and not getting arrested/beaten/shot or really any response at all. Half the cops were in cycle helmets not riot gear!
I also fail to see how they didn't predict this, it was all over that donald.win site that something like this was going to go down.

But imagine the social media traction he's going to get out of this. Sadly the photo of him up on the podium in the capital building is going to be iconic. :-/
I guess this is the end for the Republican Party as a single entity?, can only be good news for democrats.
WTAF is going on even Hollywood couldn’t write this.
Homeland was a bit like this.... 😀
Wheres Clare Danes damnit! I have a thing for her

Eh? Its been obvious for days this is what was going to happen. Trump called his supporters to do it!
someone somewhere senior in the police got this very wrong or was complicit
Seems odd that there were so few police in evidence. Maybe that’s a good thing though. Show these people for what they are, rather than make martyrs of them...

Have you seen Idiocracy?
I don't know who patriotic milliionaires are, but there's a lot of truth to this..

I see Gerard Butler is trending. Can wait for this one to come out on Netflix...

Would there not be more than a few inside this building, which we are not seeing yet?
I would expect that there are even more around the city, as there's reports of pipe bomb being left, of many minor scuffles and gatherings.
It could also be argued that this is the least worst way of moving the rioters on by the police - they're bored and cold with no way of claiming 'we was bullied out'…
Is that all? He'll need a couple of bottles of mad dog if he's gonna get aboot them.
Oo there you go
Pentagon says Pence, not Trump, approved National Guard deployment
That makes more sense
