Lengthy article that’s an interesting read. Especially one of their sources saying they’d be reporting back to their own government that Trump attempted a coup.

I’m surprised she got to Washington without crashing the car.

I think they’re missing a huge opportunity by not either impeaching him or invoking the 25th amendment.

Totally disagree. His powers need trimming but if Pence replaces him he can pardon him as Ford did with Nixon.

I want to see the cunt behind bars.

There is a clip of her earlier in this thread - let's just say she had at least a few cups of coffee in her.

I don't think she is the same lady as the looney trump woman talking on the clip to the media, if that's the clip you mean.  Edit.. Sorry just saw it, the one on this page is her..

Did Red Phoenix vote for Brexit?

 

No I've said ever since it took place that I thought both options were shit. If Corbyn was pm I'd have maybe voted to leave though because I think Labour and Corbyn would've got us out of the EU way better than our present idiots managed to.

 

After having a short while to cool off :

 

What pissed me off and stayed with me until I stopped posting was that I got the impression that a woman had been shot and killed and because she was a right winger trying to get into the capitol it didn't seem to matter. I'm not saying I agreed with what she did or her views. Along with a load of other Trump supporters she's gone in there maybe honestly thinking it was a coup they could've carried out or that they could stop Biden being certified and that's mad, I get that. Does she now deserve to be dead though? I'll never agree that she does.

 

The focus seemed to be almost completely on the hallowed halls of congress and protecting US institutions instead of someone unarmed that got killed and it got my back up.

 

It doesn't mean I support Trump though at all. It's more of me trying to have a bit of understanding of Trump's supporters and how they've ended up being caught up in so much delusion spouted by the guy they've supported. 74 million people voted for him and they can't be dismissed in the same way that Brexit supporters or people that decided to vote Tory can't be. Most of us don't agree with them but surely we have to try and exist with each other. Wasn't Biden himself talking about how he's going to be a president for all Americans? It might just be empty words but that's what's needed, some way of getting past these divisions or else in the UK and US we can't really progress in any reasonable way I don't think.

 

So after the Trump "mob" or whatever we're supposed to call them got into the capitol and spent a few hours there it was over. There wasn't a coup and there wouldn't have been one, they made no attempt to hold the building for any extended period of time and I think a lot of what's currently going on is over the top.

 

Yes it could've been worse and yes it could still get worse. It doesn't mean I'm defending Trump though, I'll be fucking glad when he's gone. I'm not a fan of Biden either though so it's not like I've got something great to look forward to here either, and that maybe makes me a bit more negative with this stuff in general.

Do you really think Pence would pardon him after Trump incited a load of rioters to go and potentially kidnap him or something even worse?

 

C’mon man.

[Code]

Not so sure about the unarmed bit. What didthey need strips for, should they take hostages?

She did not get shot because she was a right winger - she got shot because she was committing a crime.

 

You do agree that the actions were criminal don't you?

Yeah, they literally tried a coup against a democratic institution, what the fuck do you think she expected, a welcome mat?

 

There is NO justification for her being there in the first place, they stormed a democratic building, brandishing weapons and threatening violence and talking about revolution and overthrow based on nothing but conspiracy and ignorance.

 

If you even try and justify this shit you are too far down the rabbit hole.

 

She died because she's a fucking idiot who surrounded herself with idiots.

 

There was nothing to protest and this was not, in any way, justified.

[Rico1304]

They were lucky more weren’t shot as the police were overrun.  A general rule, when breaking into a building and a police man says he may shoot you if you continue;  He may shoot you if you continue.

CNN interviewed the lad who filmed it yesterday. He said the police told the rioters not to attempt to go through that door or they’d be shot.

 

She ignored them and got shot.

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

I believe I saw that one of the blokes right by her had a rifle type gun? I'm not 100% on this. 

 

But, if she's part of an armed group who are trying to force their way into the Capitol chamber and have been warned that they'll be shot of they continue with that course of action, I'm loathe to say that she deserves to be shot, but she's willingly put herself in a position that's significantly increased the likelihood of that happening. She had the option to retreat. 

 

(EDIT: I've just checked, the rifle bearer was actually a policeman)

 

It's odd to see the righties making a martyr out of her though. It's extremely convenient that everyone else was Antifa dressed up as Trump supporters, apart from the one who got fatally wounded. 

[3 Stacks]

I'm partial to this Kayleigh girl because she's fit, but she does know her boss called the rioters "special" yesterday, right? Just said the complete opposite just now. Lack of communication there between the Press Secretary and Big Don. Hate to see that.

Pelosi asking for 25th amendment and or impeachment. Fuck yeah!

 

Should be a piece of piss now that the Dems control both Houses.

Looks like they'll get there in the end.

It's been a long, hard, ambitious four-and-a-bit years campaign.

 

I hope they find time to implement some policies and legislation too.

 

Or perhaps this is the new GOP face that will launch 80 million votes in 2023:

Sorry but if you think you're going convince me that she should've been shot and killed that's not going to happen. I'm not looking for any type of argument either. If she was trying to get through that door with a gun in her hand I'd not be having this conversation, but she wasn't armed as far as I know so I'm not changing my mind on that. I don't see why it has to be a big issue either. We can surely just agree that we see this differently and move on without a load of drama.

 

I posted back to try and clear up what I was thinking last night too, not to get back into this.
