5?

Aye, I'm aware of four (shooting victim and three 'medical emergencies'); they might be including another, or may just have miscounted/remembered.

<edit: suggestion that a police officer died? Unconfirmed, though >

More than that if you count Covid deaths.

Did anyone have that in the 'when will he concede' sweepstake?

It'll still be the 7th over there.

Or 1/7

 

[quimcunx]

Genuinely surprised at that. Sure it's not deepfake?

I suspect some of his loons and ultras might be a bit miffed at that. It's nominally critical of the very people he egged on, certainly more so than yesterdays 'good people, but go home now' or whatever it was.

They'll just write it off to his genius, probably. The Donald moves in mysterious ways.

how have they managed to make that video look so weird? looks like a bad green screen job.

Twitter have also suspended Lin Wood's account.

Permanently banned today after saying the Capitol invasion was staged.

It does appear to be green screen. Presumably he is being held hostage by Soros.

And for them, those who hate Trump are the fools with dangerous fringe political views.

These are people who genuinely believe that universal health care is politically dangerous. They don’t stop stop to think it through though, they just go ahead and assume you’re a communist.

but don't touch their Medicare!

Parler thinks it is.

You're starting to look like a bit of a cunt, and you haven't actually SAID ANYTHING YET.

Care to disprove?

It's awful when people have different views and opinions to your own, isn't it? My apologies for all the distress my right to have my own views and opinions is causing you. Take some deep breaths. Then, if you can face it, here's another video:

Can you discern any difference between people breaking into an empty legislature to protest their disenfranchisement and people trying to disenfranchise others by breaking into a legislature that was in the middle of certifying an election?

Well bloody hell. What caused him to make that speech? Fear of impeachment?
Yesterday he told the ‘infiltrators’ who he’d instructed to go to the capitol that he loved them and they were very special. What changed.

 

[bimble]

“Blue lives matter” .

 

[Roadkill]

Interesting piece in the Washington Post about options for removing Trump, arguing that impeachment is less likely than the 25th, and that the most probable means of his leaving office early would simply be someone persuading him to quit.

Well it looks like the Trumps enjoyed the storming of the Capitol.

This is quite fascinating. A long thread from twitter which identifies one of the serious people who entered the building with heavy duty zip ties etc.

There were selfie takers with no plan and then another smaller group with a plan that failed.

This man was ex military, an officer.
