Storming the capitol was not part of the discussion and had nothing to do with it.  You're the 3rd poster who has tried to change the focus of the discussion to something entirely unrelated.

This topic is about people storming the capitol  If you're discussing something else you are in the wrong place.

Sen. Lindsey Graham: "Count me out, enough is enough"

About time.  Trump's toast.  McConnell and Graham have both denounced him.  Finally.  Such cowards.

Hopefully they'll finally find their spines and use the 25th Amendment to have the traitor booted out of the WH immediately and put in a holding cell awaiting trial for insurrection and treason.

Now if that is not sufficient to "finger" this creature then nothing is.

 

It also serves to confirm my opinion that wearing a baseball cap over the age of (let us be liberal here) 30 should be a criminal offence. Wearing it back to front should be a capital offence...

A fair indication of the intelligence of these people, having your face on TV worldwide unmasked smashing the Capitol windows and having selfies taken inside, surely this would have to be a federal offence, anyone know ?

Trust these miserable deluded mongrels are either taken away for treatment or given time in the cooler.

Better still, lock them into a big room where they can count and check each of the votes for the states Trump has been disputing. And have it televised and they can show the world, slowly how the election was LOST by Trump.

Reality TV that would even get my attention ????

Harsh sentences need to be meted out to the perpetrators of this attack on our democracy. After the 1923 Beer Hall Putsch attempt, the courts gave lenient sentences to Hitler and his cohorts. A clear message needs to be sent that this type of street thuggery will not be tolerated.

 

This is an authoritarian, anti-democratic, white nationalist separatist movement which needs to be stopped in its tracks. Trump needs to be removed from office immediately for instigating this attack on our democracy.

It goes back to not understanding the concept of evidence.  Their Leader claims election fraud, has no evidence to show, and claims he's being cheated.

This moron commits crimes and takes pics of hisself while doing it.  When the pics are used as evidence against him...

you do know what a 'republic' means don't you?   They can be, and mostly are in the world , democratic. 

I am glad you said mostly, as the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, aka North Korea, springs to mind. As does the Lao People’s Democratic Republic. And the German Democratic Republic ( the old East Germany).

 All noted for the hypocritical use of the word “democratic “ !

It's all over the alt-right media outlets.  The rioters were ANTIFA.  Cowards.  And Matt is one of the worst.

After all what happened last year I would have thought lessons would have been learned. But alas no. What a sad and shameful way to end a presidency and a life was lost too, one life is a life too many. (KUSI News; One Ahsli Babbit, a veteran of the USAF, apparently a strong supporter of Pres. Trump, is the lady identified (haven't checked that out elsewhere)). My condolences to her family.

Pres. Trump in his speech telling supporters to go home, imo, followed the same trend as his previous one (stolen election etc.) which I thought, lacked sincerity...and was too late.

I have heard wearing a baseball cap back to front automatically drops the IQ of the wearer by 20 points. With these guys, wearing one backwards would put them perilously close to negative territory.

Apologies if I missed the irony.  For some of us Americans, today is the darkest day we've experienced. 

 

And yes, Americans do create chaos across the world.  But that's another topic...apologies.

Called them "special people". Special all right, in Australia we have people who are classified as having special needs. In less PC society, a different term is used.
