Even Dander Par knew they were going to do this for the last fortnight.

I think everyone knew these idiots would do this. If dander thinks this will result in trump remaining president then his delusion is complete.
And trump's actions now look likely to see them lose the senate as well. Great work.

American tv now saying that the mayor of Washington DC has ordered a 6pm curfew.
I hate to think how they're gonna enforce that given there are reports that the police are being over run.

They`re only playing at being fascists: without the army this is just a gesture and a means of testing support.
The next time- once the `stab in the back` theory has been absorbed- then they will be in a stronger position as was Hitler in 1932. This is their aim. By then the army may have shifted over to them and the fascist coup against Roosevelt- widely unknown these days- will perhaps bear fruit against Biden.

The point being that the local police have the legal power to confiscate firearms in DC.
Unlike Michigan where many of the protestors threatening the state authorities were openly carrying semi auto rifles.

Astounding - he incites his supporters to march on Capitol Hill and says he`ll lead.
Then disappears from the scene - and subsequently berates them for taking the action they did.
His mob must be as dumb as they come.

His M.O. throughout his term in office has been to discredit and berate anyone who disagreed with him and call them weak. I think that's why he couldn't find it in him to accept the result as he can't accept defeat.
I feel sorry for those that have followed him since the election while he pontificated about how he would get the result overturned. A lot of those followers will be despondant to see him exposed as the charlaton that he is.
Meanwhile I hope he ends up in jail. It would be a sore one to see him live out his days in luxury after what he's done.

I know Romanian people who were students at the time of the uprising in Timisoara and to a man every one of them said that they cannot believe they done it and if they were to repeat the same situation they wouldn’t put their lives at risk for the change. This is when people had a desperate need for change.
I wonder how Trump and his cohorts feel now 4 people dead and many more injured whether their cause was “just” to justify the loss of 4 lives. These people were not young students. Grown men and women, so the dynamics are different. Are these people desperate or do they genuinely feel wronged and what mechanisms allowed this to take place.I find it unreal as the majority of us know what Trump speaks is nonsense.
Personally I feel he incited this riot and the blame shall be at his door with blood on his hands.
Social media has shown to be a failure in controlling the rhetoric and they must also burden some responsibility for not dealing with Trump earlier.

I believe, and I haven`t read any official confirmation of this, that two of the five died after falling from scaffolding they were trying to scale.
Parsmad, I wonder though (and I`m trying to not go all Braveheart speech here) if your Romanian acquaintances would feel so hesitant about doing what they did now if they had spent the last thirty years under the boot of Ceausescu? Of course we`ll never know as they found the fortitude to do what they had to when the moment arrived.

I don’t think it is about the regime change. They wanted change for sure. Just that they would think twice about putting their own lives on the line as they did then (maybe age).The words they use are crazy. I think they either don’t believe how brave they were or how stupid to put themselves into the firing line. They genuinely don’t know.
