Looks Like An Attempted Coup In USA 💩

[Disoriented]

You wouldn't say that to my face you silly sausage !

Thought you’d be buzzing mate.

Also, reported.

Get fcuked you bumhole

Outrageous.

Above everything I’m a democrat and whether one agrees with the result of a vote, democracy must always win, for the alternative is far far worse.

I felt somewhat uncomfortable with anti Brexit protests over here, including the way some of our politicians behaved in trying to override the result of a democratic referendum, but the protests on the streets remained peaceful, and I would always support the right to peaceful protest within the law. But what we’ve seen in the States from Trump and a section of his supporters is on a different scale completely.

I don’t know if people are less mature than they used to be in behaving like spoilt kids and bullies when they don’t get what they want, or suddenly they feel more empowered to throw their toys out the pram, but either way it’s not a good reflection on society of today, especially with lives lost.

[A Pedant]

At least Trump doesn't have to bother trashing Capitol Hill on the way out, his mob has done that for him. Now he can concentrate on leaving a dump in every room in the White House, or whatever it is losers like him do.

Meanwhile the adults in the room will certify the results of a fair, legal and democratic election.

Disgraceful scenes from Washington. Trump had incited violence...sedition. Also no National Guard or security forces present! We’re this black &/or Antifa protesters on Capitol Hill there would have been shootings by now.
Trump should be arrested / impeached (delete as appropriate)

Don't normally wade in on this hot topic but given recent events if this were black protesters,you can be pretty sure but that the National Guard would have been at least a presence if not taking more extreme measures.

Wee Nicola has stated even he isnt getting into Scotlandshire
to play his hit the ball with stick game .

FFS! It's Scotchlandshire.

Doesn’t he own half of Scotland?

Personally i think wee Nicola's wrong on this one. We should let him in - the courses are all frozen anyway so he wouldn't get to play golf. Then, when the USA ask to extradite him on terrorism and treason charges, we could trade him for Harry Dunn's killer.

It's a win/win.

No, he owns 2 golf courses, both if which make massive losses. But then again, he never was much of a businessman. He is said to be worth a small fortune, but of course he inherited a massive fortune.

Calm down

This board goes from worse to worse when you allow these sorts of comments.

Do you mean the comment that someone is having a w*nk to the news?

Dwarfy was warned.

I try to censor out the abuse and people dont like that either.

[Max B Gold]

It’s exceptionally worrying all this.

America often over many decades state at some world critical times that they lead the free world

As a result of their economic strength and loud rhetoric they campaign for freedom.

I blame Trump. He has to take responsibility of this current circumstances

I hope for the future the system of USA manages to keep Trump subdued and in check

Failure will lead to the demise of the world as we all know it

This is very serious.

This isn't about one man or people being childish. These people are angry. Start with that fact and work back but please don't conclude it was only due to the right wing media.

If only the Coup had CIA backing it could have been so much more successful.

Its sickening to watch the Fascist enablers like Pence, McConnel etc sh*t the bed and row back toward democracy. They've had 4 years to do that but chose not to. They're not being sincere.

[Mistadobalina]

They used Trump for as long as he was useful to achieve their goals. Now he is done, they are ditching him. The party is morally bankrupt and deserves a massive backlash. But I'd be willing to bet they will take back the house and senate in two years time.

The primaries for those elections will be pretty wild. You are going to get some absolute pro trump loons dislodging existing senators and representatives.

Interested to see what does warrant a ban after those two comments but ill trust your judgement.

Who is "they" ?

[Mistadobalina]

The republican party leadership.

Three strikes for minor offences.

Yep. The GOP was more than happy to use Trump to achieve its goals. And lest we forget that sections of our establishment have been willing to do the same previously:

Sadly yesterday could be just the end of the beginning. There are so many Americans, in every part of the USA who feel that American democracy is not working for them and their rights, as they see them are being ignored or trodden upon. I wonder how many state capitols will be occupied in days to come. Already people have died in a land where firearms ae freely available.

[Max B Gold]

The republican party leadership.

Too narrow.

[Long slender neck]

Cant they just split the country?

[Dunners]

Last time they tried that it didn't work out too well.

Up until now the general direction of human societal evolution has been for larger units (villages to city states to nation states to federal states etc). It is interesting that we seem to have growing calls for some reversal of that trend.

So, you're saying that nationalists, separatists and tin-pot little Englander Brexiteers are less evolved? Makes sense I suppose, but careful how you say it round here, bud.

I bet the communist super-powers are enjoying the sights coming out of USA.

That probably explains why Building Off The Grid and Homestead Rescue are such popular shows on the Discovery channel.

Last time they split the country it led to the Civil War. That was almost literally a geographical split - North and South. Many think the split would be Repub v Democrat or Right v Left. There are some in the South today calling for states to leave the Union, as they did in 1860-61. I'm afraid it's a very complicated, fragmented and bitter scenario - much like 1861!

I think you get to a certain size and it doesnt make sense. Its not fair for vast lefty areas to be ruled by Trump or Johnson and vice versa.
