Every piece of shit @GOP Republican that humored this lunatic’s lies & crimes & every gullible idiot that voted for him is responsible for everybody that gets killed today in DC and the “shithole country” that he’s turned us into. Fuck you all. We’re the shame of the world.

At what point will News agencies stop calling these terrorists “Protestors” they are attempting a coup.

That’s not a protest. It’s an attack. #TraitorsSupportTraitorTrump

It’s been so obvious that the tear gas, rubber bullets, and police brutality are reserved only for black people and Black Lives Matter protesters. Today is case in point. From now on, I will refer to the Republican Party as the Jim Crow Party.

As bad as this is, what will be worse is if this dude is still somehow in office tomorrow.

“This is what happens when administrations cheat the system and the people”
Not everyone happened to be against the outgoing president however. There was one who somehow found a way to defend Donald Trump in the whole matter.
Well this is what happens when administrations cheat the system and the ppl. Can’t be ok with burning it all down for selective reasons but not for others.

Earlier in the day, Trump called for his supporters to attend the rallies while repeating, without evidence, that he was cheated out of the office by fraudulent means. He falsely claimed that he had won and worked the crowd into doing what they would later end up doing.
A mob was able to breach security and successfully enter the building. While Sen. James Lankford was successfully escorted out of the building, a woman was fatally shot inside the building. At the moment, the circumstances surrounding the incident are not clear.
President elect, Biden condemned Trump for instigating the anarchy. He called on the “mob to pull back and allow the work of democracy to go forward.”
A Citywide curfew has since been imposed banning anyone bar essential personnel outdoors from 6 p.m. Wednesday to 6 a.m. Thursday.
