There is a funnier photo of some mixed metaphor dude. He is wearing a Viking helmet and no shirt with lots of tattoos and some animal looking thing on his head. I think I saw it on reddit.
That guy is every fucking where. He's going to be the first douchebag identified.

Honestly, at this point I'd support removing him from office based on the 25th.
Agreed.
Haven’t read rest of thread yet but I was just saying the same to my good buddies who are all conservative too. We all support his immediate removal by 25th amendment or by impeachment.

He's two posts higher up

If only the Capitol Police had more social workers!
Yeah, I was thinking about that. These past few months have not been the best for being a police officer. Today was a tough day to be a capitol police officer. I hope recogntion is given to them for what they did and tried to do. Their leaders failed them - not having enough support when support was needed.

So far it's evident that the National Guard issue is Trump's. Pence got them in himself after Trump refused, presumably masturbating over the live feed.
As to the Capitol police's leadership, I'd love to know their rationale for basically watching this happen.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

@george-k Well, it's tragic that a person is dead, but goddammit, you can't storm the fucking Capitol.
Makes you wonder what would motivate someone to feel so negatively about an election resul—OHHHHH THAT'S TRUE, YOU'RE RIIIIIIGHT!

I agree.
But, apparently, she was unarmed. Was she a credible threat, or just an obnoxious
twattwit?Don't get me wrong, because I in no way accept or condone the events of today. But, this woman, this unarmed woman, was shot, and killed, by the cops.

To what extent did the police understand the specifics of the situation outside of "the Capitol has been breached"?

@george-k Yeah, I guess part of me is just trying to make sure I'm holding people who are more generally speaking "in my tribe" to the same level of accountability as I would the other guys.
I can imagine me having some pretty unsympathetic comments if a bunch of anti-fa made it inside the Capitol building while Congress was closing in on certifying the election for Trump.
Plus, to me...storming buildings and taking them over is in and of itself a threating/dangerous behaviour. Chaz be damned.

I want to make sure my position on this is clear, as well as address the claim that this was Trumps fault.
I have not said that a agree with them doing what they did. I'm simply saying I understand why they did it. And it's not Trumps fault that they did it. There were tens of thousands of people at Trumps rally. The vast majority of them were peaceful, and did not participate in the mob attack. If Trump had been responsible for this, there would have been 5 or 6 times as many people involved. But a small group who came to the rally decided to go out on their own and form a mob.
You can't ignore people, lie to them, make fun of them, and all the things the media and the Left have done for 4 years and not end up with a few hotheads who get so frustrated they take matters into their own hands. Most of the people at the rally are just as upset these few peopke did what they did as anyone else. But to claim its Trump's fault is simply a continuation of the treatment Trump supporters have had to put up with, and gives the democrst/Left a pass on their involvement.
In short, this was not a "Trump supporter/Trump caused this" mob. This was a few bad actors, who went off on their own, frustrated over the very kind of treatment the majority of Trump supporters are having hurled at them now, even though the vast majority do not agree with them Bob. Trump supporters have ALWAYS been peaceful, even polite. Yet the one time a small group of bad actors do something similar to what the Left has done for 4 years now, and suddenly it's "all Trump supporters are violent and Trump caused it. That's incorrect, shallow, and unfair.
