Us Senate Under Siege. What Fun.

Trumpy supporters go ape.

And of course there are Qanon crazies and thugs there too...

The question is... does the USA have a Trump problem or does it have a Republican problem?

[ummmm]

Tiggs...surprised it's taken so long.

[Mozz71]

Untitled, I think the Republicans have a Trump problem.

"Were going to walk down Pennsylvania Avenue, we're going to the Capitol... we're going to try and give them the boldness they need to take back our country."

He called for this.

[ummmm]

Jim - then he should be arrested.

Where are all those heavy armed American police officers we keep hearing about? The ones that shoot first...

[Paigntonian]

Thought Biden statement was cracking. Very blunt. He can across as a little wimpish sometimes but it was spot on. Trump's 'reply' was appalling. Now they find IEDs and it looks like one woman may die. Extraordinary. Can recommend ABC live and FOX news to follow events.

[ummmm]

On BBC now. Lou Correa saying Capitol police have to show constraint.

[jim360]

I have to agree, Ummm. I doubt anyone who has been historically a Trump supporter will take me seriously, but all I wanted was to see Trump lose the election -- I have no particular desire to see him in jail. But inciting a riot in the US Capitol deserves a punishment, and I hope that the US doesn't shy away from that fact.

Just seen a horrifying image on BBC live of some gallows. What the hell is that all about?

[Untitled]

Trump has released a video message STILL insisting that the election was stolen and fraudulent and saying they should “go home in peace”... what an utter liar and hypocrite. This is all his fault and he is trying to cover his bum. Lying fascist.

I think that is qanon tigger

[pastafreak]

Are you sure it was a gallows Tiggs? There was a Trump supporter dragging a wooden cross around.

[Untitled]

I saw it too - it’s on the BBC’s live reporting page

[tiggerblue10]

I'll try and do a link Pasta.

Biden's speech was amazingly calm, and to the point...admirable under the circumstances.
