Yup. Counter protest doesnt' make sense. Who do you think has all the guns? I think a few years ago it was 40% of Republicans own guns vs about 10% of Democrats. And they often own the whole gun shop. My Republicans mates 'pack more heat than the oven door'.

I've always said the only way for the gun laws to change is for every minority to buy a gun. suddenly the right to bear arms would look funny in the light

Yup, the same reason that Republicans, Democrats, and even the NRA supported gun control when the Black Panthers were carrying in public.

Speaking of Black Panthers, Biden had better get himself his own crew of personal security guards.

I’d be surprised if the secret service hasn’t been compromised. His entire security detail has to be vetted from the inauguration and going forward will have to be vetted.

It’s hilarious. Seriously, Trump didn’t actually do or say anything different to what he’s been doing or saying for the last few years. What happened was just a culmination of that. Never forget all these wankers were fully behind him for 99% of that time.

all these clowns lamenting their weakened ability to grift and divide on behalf of the corporations lining their pockets. it's telling in the wake of a purge of qanon and maga bots/extremist accounts on social media, all these right wing pundits and politicians 'lost' tens of thousands of 'followers'. yeah, maybe don't whine about that on national tv?

So sad how they’ve been censored and can still spout nonsense on prime time. Censored Trump was all over my TV giving speeches yesterday. Poor him.

It’s political suicide. That’s why he’s keeping his cards close to his chest. But these people placed a bomb at the RNC. They were clearly ready to kill Republicans. Mitch can now see that those seditionists support Trump and not the Republicans who enabled him. It’s a cult within a white nationalist interest group. He’ll never be able to take a walk alone safely after this. But he has to decide if he wants to neuter Trump and try save his party or surely see it turned over to him fully

Claudius

Interesting to see banks (Deutsche and Signature) cut ties with Trump. Shouldn't they wait until he has been found guilty of sedition to do this? They didn't cut ties with him because he had been found guilty of funding seditious acts. Seems on very shaky ground legally.

I'd put this on a different ground to cutting his social media access because we understand how social media radicalises users and he was using it to that end. So cutting his access was warranted in light of the Capitol storming. This banking business is an altogether different kettle of fish.

Deutsche Bank cutting ties with anyone because of their legal issues 😆

elites have the inside track. they see a hit coming. they're stepping out of the way to minimise the amount of trumps brain matter getting splattered on them

There’s also that. Funny thing is they’re the only major bank that’s been financing Trump these past 20 years

Facebook suspended Ron Paul for this article that is critical of their and twitters Trump bans http://ronpaulinstitute.org/archives/featured-articles/2021/january/11/the-war-on-terror-comes-home/?fbclid=IwAR1UIaUUe0WU5suyR7V9q8a93H8za_cl2pDoXlsdUac2pPv3t5ORRYIVVgk

This is the real political battle. Are we going to continue to be a corporation-ruled state or are we going to privilege people over profits. The rest is mostly fluff.

Claudius

Elon Musk has gained more wealth since election than McKenzie Scott, the 22nd richest person in the world at $35Bn. That is the state of the world.

maybe centrists will be spooked into action after watching peons storm the bastille

Just have a system that makes sense like Northern European social democracies. Free enterprise economies that impose large taxes to take care of everyone. Socialism never succeeds in the long run. All the experiments have failed.

jones

European social democracies a) don't really exist anymore and are b) considered somewhere left of communism in the US. Pure socialism if there really ever was such a thing has never succeeded, neither has pure capitalism. The only time in Western history the majority of the population has really thrived was when competition between both systems and ideologies has kept Western leaders honest. And even then the third world and the planet at large got thoroughly fucked in the process.
