Virginia National Guard answering the call. An aide of Trump claiming they're on their way due to Trump's guidance

The not revolution will be televised

You will be able to stay home, brother
You will be able to plug in, turn on and cop out
You will be able to lose yourself on skag
And skip out for beer during commercials, because
The not revolution will be televised

 

[dessiato]

Being described as treason and insurrection

I hope no-one gets hurt. However, I don't mind America being embarrassed like this, because its self-delusional rhetoric about how it's the greatest democracy that ever existed needs trashing. I like seeing the US making a fool of itself.

 

[planetgeli]

Only going to be happy if this ends in bloodshed now.

Needs dead fash.

He's finally sending in the National Guard. Must have been threatened with no Happy Meal tonight until he did it.

Not sure if he's sent them in tbh

I'm struggling to see how these crazies running round the capitol converts into a coup - how would it work?

Having no chance of success doesn't stop it from qualifying as an attempt.

How many people are there and how long can they stay there? Trump is surely thrilled.

I did say btw.

The Glorious Buffalo Order of Fascist Trump

He's having a great protest tbf. What's a UK equvalent? Tommy Robinson doing lines off the Sceptre?

He hasn't sent in the Virginia National Guard, but there are reports that he has finally agreed that the federal National Guard can go in, having previously said no.

reminiscent of Gremlins I was thinking

6pm curfew been given.

 

[maomao]

I would go with 'putsch' rather than coup. I can't remember a succesful putsch (I'm sure someone will correct that in a minute).

 

[Treacle Toes]

Don't panic anyone...

Who said it was him who sent them in? I doubt very much that he had any input into the decision.

Bbc said virgina's governor was sending national guard troops as the request of DC police. I don't know if Trump has sent anyone as well?

 

[agricola]

great exchange on CNN just then - Van Jones pointing out that Keisha Lance Bottoms told her community to stop rioting and go home, to which someone else replied that the difference is that KLB didnt actually call for the riot to happen

No, apparently he refused the request to send in the DC guard

 

[Streathamite]

The Virginia National Guard are now being sent in by Gov. Northam, it seems at mayor Bowser's request.

This US Krypton Factor remake is surprisingly watchable

Allegedly Trump blocked the national guard.

 

[dessiato]

This dreadful. It all seems to be a deliberate move by Trump to incite violence.

 

[bimble]

Pence tweeting that they should all stop it and go home. Bit late to speak up as voice of reason now isn’t it. Anyway they all hate pence.

 

[BigMoaner]

cnn coverage good.

 

[Artaxerxes]

Don't panic anyone...

 

[1927]

who is this clown on Sky claiming that Trump issuing treated like a 3rd word leader because they asked about his tax records!
