Trump supporters stormed Capital Hill - Update - Mike Pence testifies in criminal probe of Trump

Oh my goodness, I don’t follow him, Lindyloo,…I wouldn’t like to cross him I must say, very powerful man I hear,…don’t really know much about him, just heard that he is power crazy,

Does anyone know how many supporters he has at this time?

The chaotic scenes unfolded after Trump, due to leave office on Jan. 20, addressed thousands of protesters, repeating false claims that the election was stolen from him due to widespread election fraud and irregularities.

Vice President Mike Pence, who had presided over the joint session of Congress, had already been escorted from the Senate.

“We will never give up,” Trump earlier told thousands of cheering supporters on a grassy expanse near the White House called the Ellipse. “We will never concede. It doesn’t happen. You don’t concede when there’s theft involved.”

For some strange reason protesters don’t seem to be affected by Covid, there were no spikes of infection after various London protests, or all of the beach shenanigans in Dorset.

:shock::shock::shock::shock:

Those incidents were before the new variant came along. :shock:

I seem to remember an Austrian orator who managed to gather some unprecedented support from normally level headed and civilized people.

We shall see Lindy…

Isn’t there a bit more to your ‘chip in’ sly old grey fox ?
Don’t keep us hanging

Scenes like these remind me of those ones we occasionally see in some middle East counties where a bunch of zealots burn the American flag while shooting bullets into the air.

Civilised being the operative word. Bunch of thugs involved here. The Proud Boys and Antifa

I know now’t really Minx…:017:

I know right. Not in a first world country. Trump is still saying it’s a fraudulent election now. He continues to lie to his supporters

:cool:

There were more than just a few hot heads Minx…Practically the whole of the German population were involved…
Every once in a while somebody quite extraordinary comes along and wows the people…

He sounds like a bad loser, seems unable to cope with defeat, if that’s the case, that in itself says quite a bit about his character don’t you think?

Being a bad loser is one thing. Inciting public disorder is another. He’s the POTUS ffs!!

It’s no secret that the media hate Trump and it’s not beyond reasonable doubt that they would do all in their power to see him brought to his knees. What if he’s right about the fraud. You are not going to see any support for him in the press, and that’s where everyone is basing their appraisal of him from. Unless you live in America of course.

No, you’re quite correct. We need to teach them how to spell correctly! :wink:

No, I mean the coppers with guns.
